Author's note: I would really appreciate reviews and comments on how the story is so far and how it shall go on...

Chapter 10

Washington DC, Navy yard, NCIS headquarters, Director Vance's office

'What did you think about when you left the United States without permission and entered a foreign country to bang there around wildly and shoot three of their citizens?', director Vance obviously was upset.

'First: This was a rescue mission for Agent DiNozzo.' 'A rescue mission I did not allow.'

'Second: There is no prohibition in travelling into another country.' 'It was unauthorized during your working duty time.'

'Third: We did not bang wildly around.' 'You went into a house and shot three men. How do you call that?'

'Forth: Paloma Reynosa kidnapped and let DiNozzo be tortured. What are the consequences for her and her dog?' 'The consequences for Paloma Reynosa and Carolina will be set by the Mexican law.'

'You don't even know her last name!', Gibbs screamed. 'You neither.'

'The consequences for them will be nothing.'

'I don't think so. After Paloma's brother ended up in prison a lot in her family changed.'

'Then there are new police officers she buys.'

'I can't do anything.' 'You can. If you wanted to you can talk to Mexican police and get the case. It was an American Special Agent they abducted!'

'I know. But however, we should come to the consequences you and your team have to face', director Vance said. 'For what? Rescuing a friend?' No one said anything. 'I will take full responsibility for all of them. It was my idea.'

'They played along.' 'I forced them to.' 'We both know you didn't.'

'God damn it, Leon. Why the fucking hell are you such an asshole?', Gibbs yelled out.

Jimmy Palmer's house

It was the following night, about two hours after midnight. The door was unlocked and Jimmy went in his house, followed by a woman. He closed the doors and both put off jacket and shoes. They had met in a bar an hour ago. 'So, what shall we do now?', the woman asked and got closer to Jimmy.

'I…I don't know', he stammered and smiled. 'Oh, you are so shy', she said and took off his glasses and put them away. 'Come on Jimmy. Show me your house', she took his hand and led him further into his living room. 'Don't switch on the lights', she said smiling at him. He smiled, too. She was so pretty.

She started to unbutton his shirt and removed it. She touched his chest and her hands glided further down starting to unbutton and open his trousers.

'Wow, you're fast', he laughed and she kissed him. She removed his trousers and pushed him gently on the couch. Kissing he doffed her Pullover off. He looked at her breasts. 'What are you waiting for?', she asked laughing. She sat up and turned herself around and Jimmy started to open her bra with his mouth. 'Not a lot experience?', she asked.

Finally he managed to open it and she wildly jumped back on him. 'We've got the whole night', she said in a seductively voice. 'I've got to go to work tomorrow.' 'Work is completely irrelevant for now', she said. 'I love your accent', he said. 'Where did you say you're from?' 'Germany', she said and removed her trousers. She undid his underpants. 'Wow, you're really fast', Jimmy said.

'You are so shy', she gently glided with her hand through his hair. 'You should dare more', she said smiling. She kissed him, wildly, first on his mouth, got lower, his neck, his chest, his belly and further down. 'What shall we start with?', she asked, more to herself. Then she started with giving him head.

Three hours later, it was around five am, they were both in bed, he was sleeping with a smile on his face. He already had forgotten about his long-term girlfriend who had split up with him. He loved her. She lay awake. She looked at him to be reassured that he was sleeping. Carolina stood up and started searching the apartment. She did not exactly know what she was looking for, generally something about his work, about NCIS and especially about Gibbs' team. Paloma Reynosa had a new objective. Carolina had a new mission.

Half an hour later she went back to bed. She looked at sleeping Jimmy.

'You're so cute when you're sleeping', she murmured.

Navy Yard, NCIS office, Autopsy

'You're late, Mr. Palmer', Dr. Mallard said.

'I'm sorry, doc. I…had a rough night.'

'A woman?', Ducky asked.

Palmer nodded. 'So fast after your last girlfriend?'

'I needed a bit distraction', Mr. Palmer explained.

'Tell me. How is she?'

'So cute.' 'Are you in love? I thought it was just one of those One-Night-Stands that are obviously common in your generation', Ducky said.

'Oh, she gave me her phone number. And I learnt a lot tonight.' Ducky raised an eyebrow.

'Oh no, not what you think, doctor Mallard. She showed me an online link where I can legally watch movies for free. She advised me a film: 'The spy who loved me'.' 'And what was her name?'

'Carolina.'

Ducky stopped breathing. 'Oh', he said.

'What?', Mr. Palmer asked confused.

'I think you were the one who loved a spy', Ducky said, obviously amused about his pun. 'I assume her phone number is a fake.' Mr. Palmer looked at him, puzzled. Ducky was right. He explained the whole story about Tony's rescue mission to his assistant. 'But why-?'

'I don't know, Mr. Palmer. But obviously, Paloma Reynosa had not given up yet. She will return. And Carolina is the one who shall clear the way for her. Excuse me now, I have to report to Gibbs.'
