Okay...talk to me, people.

Gibbs speak for, 'You had ample time for discovery... (45 minutes) and I expect some progress on the case.' He and McGee just dropped off Claudia and Suzanne at the White House. Tony DiNozzo and Ziva left the secured headquarters to coordinate with a helpful Jimmy Palmer and Eleanor Bishop in the bullpen.

"Agent Gibbs, I'm still working on my gut instinct and I promise..." Palmer was fixated, intensely focused on the computer screen as he steadily clicked and typed on the keyboard. "I will have something substantial. I know it!"

"Jane Hamilton was telling the truth." Ziva began, pacing about on the floor. On cue, Eleanor flashed a profile picture onto the plasma screen. "The father-in-law was heavily involved with humanitarian efforts." Bishop advanced the screen to a map, indicating Sinola cartel land controls versus plans for clean water filtration plants. "Clean water meant greasing his hand a little with the drug lords..."

"...who were paying tribute to the Ambassador." Tony finished. "He knew of the American Peace Corps worker in the area; didn't know it was Suzanne. He was doing it to save her."

"The amount sent to Risen was approximately $6 million." Eleanor read from scribbled notes which she shared with Gibbs.

"I followed my hunch and I think this may help, Agent Gibbs."

Jimmy Palmer displayed various news clippings and correspondences over the years on the plasma next. Some were highlighted, with pictures circled, words in Spanish scribbled across the page.

"Theodore Risen, pronounced RISON,-Former Ambassador. Notice how his passport is about to expire?" Jimmy circled the date of expiration. Others chuckled, thought it was insignificant to the case, but he continued rambling.

"Good observation, Autopsy Gremlin..." Tony joked.

"STOP!" Palmer said in a serious tone. "Agent Gibbs..."

"Go, Palmer..."

"The clippings vary-from when Suzanne first began at NCIS to recently, when she worked for the President?" He highlighted those various dates. "I found the third girl from the picture-Gabriella. She was adopted by a couple from Arlington six years ago. Her adopted last name is Risen."

"Risen has children." Gibbs muttered. "His son's been keeping tabs on Suzanne and Ziva."

"The son is a third. They now live in Silver Spring." Jimmy handed the address.

"Bishop, Ziva-Come with me!" Gibbs ordered, grabbing his coat. "McGee, you continue checking the database. Tony: go by the White House and check on the girls." As he climbed into the elevator, Gibbs conveyed one additional message:

"Hey: Good work, Palmer!" He smiled.
