Here we go! Chapter 11! Enjoy :-)

I DO NOT own NCIS, Rizzoli & Isles are anything related to it. All original characters (Daniel Levi and Skylar Williams) are my own.

At the hotel, Kate laid curled up on the sofa, sadness written on her face. Tony walked over and sat down on the floor next to her, a prepackaged sandwich in hand.

"You need to eat something, Kate," said Tony.

"For the hundredth time Tony, I'm not hungry," groaned Kate. "I want to figure out who this man in my dreams is! Can we get to work?"

"We will, in due time. Right now, you need to relax! All this stress can't be good from your head! Now come on, share this sandwich with me. It's tuna! I'll even leave you more than just the crust this time!" smiled Tony.

"Fine," Kate sat up taking half the sandwich.

"You know aside from the blonde hair and designer clothes, you haven't changed a bit. You know looks wise."

"I look in the mirror and I don't even recognize myself. I mean I'm a blonde, Tony! I never would consider dying my hair blonde!"

"But it looks good on you! I like it!"

Kate could feel herself blush. "Well, you haven't changed either. Although I remember you being a bit smaller around the middle!"

"Ouch!"

Kate smiled, showing off her dimples as she took a bite of the sandwich.

There was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," said Tony, getting up. Opening the door, he found Vance and Skylar standing on the other side. "Director Vance? What are you doing here?"

"Is Maura here, DiNozzo?" asked Vance, stern.

"Yeah, she's right here."

Vance pushed the door open entering the room followed by Skylar. Vance approached Kate. "I need you to come with me, Maura."

"Ah, Director Vance, I don't think that's such a good idea. Maura has had a bit of a rough morning, I don't think she needs to go back to NCIS right now," explained Tony.

"Is that so DiNozzo? How bad of a morning you think she's going to have when she wakes up in Gitmo for the rest of her life?"

"Why, would she be waking up in Gitmo?"

"Agent Williams."

Skylar approached Kate but Tony stepped in front of her. "Wait, I want to know what's going on here."

"I'll inform you of everything as soon as we take her in for questioning."

Skylar stepped around Tony, lifting Kate but the arm. Putting her arms behind her back she locked the metal bracelets around her wrists.

"Director Vance?" questioned Tony.

"Move DiNozzo!" scolded Vance.

Tony wrapped his arms around Kate's waist, whispering into her ears. "Remember what I told you earlier! Don't say anything! I will take care of this!"

Kate looked Tony in the eyes, as Skylar pulled her out the room.

Gibbs, McGee and Ziva were working at their desks when Skylar walked off the elevator, ushering a handcuffed Kate towards interrogation.

"Oh my gosh! Does Williams have Dr. Isles in handcuffs?" questioned McGee, looking up to see the scene.

Ziva and Gibbs stood up and turned around to see what was happening, as a pissed off looking Vance and Tony following them.

Gibbs followed.

Skylar walked Kate into interrogation, sitting her in the chair facing the two-way mirror, preparing to un-cuff her.

"Leave her cuffed," ordered Vance, staring at Kate.

Gibbs entered the room. "Leon, what is going on?"

"Gibbs, DiNozzo, in my office! Now!" The agents left the room, leaving Kate alone and handcuffed.

Vance waited for Tony and Gibbs to enter his office before he pushed the hidden red button under his desk, making his office completely secure from the outside world.

"What's going on, Leon?" asked Gibbs.

Vance sighed. "We have situation on our hands."

"You think? Why in the world did you arrest Dr. Isles?" asked Tony.

"Because of this," Vance took the papers out his desk and dropped him in front Gibbs. "You've been with NCIS quite some time Gibbs, you ever worked any top secret ops before?"

"I've done a few," Gibbs picked up the paper and started leafing through them.

"Then you are familiar with the protocol. What you have in front of you is Twilight, a top secret interagency operation to track down a suspected Al-Qaeda cell operating here on U.S. soil."

"What does that have to do with you arresting Dr. Isles?"

Vance pulled out two sheet of paper, placing on down. "This is a list of person's involved in the operation. I assume you recognize the third name from the top."

Gibbs picked up the list, looking it over. He froze at what he saw. "K. Todd."

"That's right, K. Todd as in Caitlin Todd, your former agent."

"Kate was working a top secret operation? Why didn't she tell us?" asked Tony.

"Maybe because it was top secret," replied Gibbs, in a matter of fact manner.

Vance leaned against his desk. "Top secret protocol states that all persons involved in the operation are to be listed within the op file."

"Still don't get what this has to do with Maura," said Tony.

Vance placed down the other sheet of paper. "This is an amended list of person's involved. Notice anything?"

Gibbs read the names. " ?"

"What?" Tony took the paper from Gibbs.

"Look at where her name is and look at the name on the original document," said Vance.

Gibbs looked at the paper. "Are you sure about this, Leon?"

"You know protocol, Gibbs."

"But that isn't possible."

"You might want to start thinking outside your box of possibility."

"I don't think you understand, Leon, you want me to believe…"

"The document doesn't lie, Gibbs."

"Yeah, but the people who write them do."

"That's true, that's why I want her to tell us what happened."

"I'll talk to her."

"No, you won't, I will. For all we know she could have gone rogue. This is too personal for you and I need answers." Vance left his office, Gibbs and Tony right behind him as he headed for interrogation.

"Boss, what's going on?" asked Tony, right on Gibbs heels.

"Top secret protocol, anyone involved in a top secret op is to remain on that operation until it's over or unless circumstances prevent them from performing the op. Kate was working this op when she died which means she that she couldn't be a part of the operation anymore in which case the amendment would have had her name missing. Hers was replaced."

"So they replaced Kate?"

"They don't replace people on top secret ops, DiNozzo, they replace identities."

Gibbs and Tony walked into the interrogation observation room, where Skylar waited.

On the other side of the mirror, Vance threw the stack of papers down on the table taking a seat in the chair opposite from Kate.

"Tell me about Twilight," said Vance.

"I don't know what you are talking about," replied Kate.

"I'm talking about the Twilight operation. What happened?"

"I don't know."

"Tell me what happened. We are or were working for the same agency and maybe I can help you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Why did they change your identity? You are no medical examiner from Boston."

Kate shook her head. "I don't know what you are talking about?"

"We know the truth but I want to hear it from you so start talking unless you want to spend the rest of your life in maximum security! What happened on the Twilight operation?"

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

Vance slammed his hand down on the table causing Kate to jump in her seat. "Game's over! Who are you working for?"

"What?"

"The op is over and you are still keeping up the charade, why?"

"I'm not working for anyone! Why are you doing this?" Kate voice began to crack.

"You've gone rogue? Is that it?"

"I don't know what you are talking about! I haven't gone rogue and I don't know anything about Twilight!"

Gibbs watched attentively from the other side of the glass.

"She's lying," scuffed Skylar.

"No, she's not! She's telling the truth, she doesn't know what he's talking about," said Gibbs.

"How do you know?"

"I just do! How did you gain access to that file, Williams?"

"She gave it me."

"She gave it to you?"

Skylar pulled out the picture of the case file. "She drew this. Curiosity got the best of me, I entered it into the system and file came up."

"This is top secret. Your clearance is not high enough to have accessed this!"

Skylar pointed to the line underneath the file name.

Gibbs snatched the paper from Skylar, rushing out the room.

"What did you find in that file, Williams?" asked Tony.

"The living dead."

Tony froze for a moment, thinking about what Skylar said. "Oh no!" Tony took off after Gibbs.

"Oh no? What happened? DiNozzo!" Skylar ran after Tony.

Abby was in her lab talking to McGee when Gibbs rushed in.

"Gibbs, McGee just told me that Vance had Maura arrested! What's going on?"

Gibbs slammed the picture down in front of Abby.

"Cool picture! Although you could use better photo subjects, Gibbs!"

"I didn't draw it, Maura did!" Gibbs pointed the ID on the file. "This is the ID of someone at NCIS, I need to know who?"

"Finding out government ID numbers would require me to hack into a highly secured database. If I get caught I could lose my job!"

"Then don't get caught, now do it!"

Abby looked at McGee before she started typing feverishly. Sensing the urgency in Gibbs' face, McGee stood next to Abby, the two of them engaging in computer talk as they hacked the system.

"Gibbs!" shouted Tony, running to the lab with Skylar behind him.

"Not now, Tony!" spat Gibbs.

"Gibbs, I really need to talk to you about Maura. It's important!"

"Not as important as this!"

"Actually Boss, it's about this."

Gibbs turned around looking Tony straight in the eyes.

"Oh my God!" shouted Abby.

"What?"

"This ID number."

"What about it? Were you able to find out who it belonged to?"

"Yeah," Abby swallowed as she clicked the mouse causing a photo to pop up on the plasma.

Gibbs' eyebrows knitted together.

"Boss, is that right?" asked McGee.

"Yeah, it's right, McGee. That's Kate's ID number."

"Why does Maura know Kate's ID number? We aren't supposed to give that number to any one! Kate knew that!" said Abby.

"She didn't give it to anyone."

"Then how did Maura get it?" Abby paused her hands collapsing over her mouth. "Oh my god!"

Gibbs looked at Abby before leaving the lab, Tony and Skylar with him.

"McGee, please tell me this is a coincidence and not what I think it is?"

"There's no such thing as coincidence, Abbs," said McGee, just as shocked as Abby.

The pair rushed after the other agents.

Tony struggled to keep up with Gibbs as he pretty much ran down the hall towards interrogation. "Boss, wait I really need to talk to you!"

Gibbs did a one-eighty nearly causing Tony to collide with him. "What is it, DiNozzo!"

"Boss, I really need to talk to you about Maura," stammered Tony.

Gibbs squared up with Tony. "You knew?"

Tony was silent.

"Why didn't you come to me?"

"I…"

Gibbs said nothing as he swung open the door to interrogation. Kate looked up at the senior agent her eyes red with tears.

"Gibbs, you are not to be in here!" spat Vance.

Gibbs ignored the Director, walking over to Kate's side of the table. One hand on the back of Kate's chair, the other on the table, Gibbs leaned close to Kate, his lips just inches from her ear. "I'm going to ask you a simple yes or no question. Think very carefully before you answer and remember rule number seven."

Kate turned her head looking to Gibbs' eyes.

Gibbs leaned in closer. "Are you Special Agent Caitlin Todd?"

Kate was silent. She put her head down as tears began to flow heavily from her eyes. She whispered "yes" ever so softly.

Traditionally a man of little emotion, Gibbs embraced Kate as she cried into his shoulder.

In observation, the room was silent was Tony, McGee, Abby and Skylar looked on.

"This can't be real?" said McGee.

"It's real, McGee," said Tony, never looking away from Kate and Gibbs.

"She's really…" asked Abby, trying to hold back tears but failing miserably.

Tony nodded. "Yeah Abbs, she's Kate."
