A few weeks later, Agents Gibbs, Fornell and Sacks, as well as the Director of the FBI were currently in Jenny's office finally discussing Agent Sacks' deplorable actions over the last weeks.
"So there you go, Director Mueller. As you can see, the acts of your Agent nearly cost us one of our best undercover agents as well as severely damaging cooperation between our two agencies. Now, as you know, I'm not one to beat around the bush. I would seriously consider your action against Agent Sacks as one that allows future cooperation between our two agencies to remain as it was before this incident, or ends today".
Director Mueller looked over disapprovingly at Sacks before looking up, nodding at Director Sheppard's words. "I agree with your account Director, although I wish the reason for this talk was due to something more positive." Turning to Agent Sacks he shook his head and stated, "I am extremely displeased by your actions throughout this investigation, Agent Sacks, and I have no choice but to suspend you for one month without pay. When your suspension is up, I will be putting you on probation. You are dismissed, Agent Sacks."
Hurrying out of the room, Sacks exited the NCIS building muttering under his breath about the unfairness of it all. He turned into an alley while unfolding a piece of paper. Coming out of the shadows a man dressed in a sharp suit held out his hand, and Sacks handed him the slip of paper. Once the man had it he turned and limped out of the alley toward a chauffer-driven car. Agent Sacks turned and smiled slightly then smiled broadly before walking out and vanishing into the streets.
Back up in the Jenny's office, both Directors stood and shook hands before nodding towards Gibbs and heading off to MTAC. Gibbs was about to follow when his phone beeped. Flipping it open, he smiled as he read Tony's text informing him that the movie was starting soon and how long the line at the store would be. Hurrying down the steps, Gibbs was stopped by two guards who inquired how Tony was doing. He assured the guards that Tony was recovering well and would be back soon.
Gibbs sped off in his car stopping only to pick up the few items he said he would get before heading home. After pulling into his driveway, Gibbs got out and locked his car, then walked to the front door, which was actually locked for a change due to Tony being asleep when he left that morning. He walked in to hear Tony exclaim, "Just in time boss."
