McGee (To Vance): I won't get caught.
--
"Your boy McGee was pretty impressive." Vance met Gibbs at the head of the stairs after his arrival. "You've trained him well."
Gibbs shook his head. "More him than me."
"His skills maybe; but his guts…I'm gonna attribute that to you."
Gibbs shrugged it off. "He's a vital member of my team; they do what they have to do, to get the job done."
"That include breaking the law?"
"If it means bringing someone down, maybe."
Vance enjoyed their rapid fire conversations and continued. "And where do you draw the line?"
"Sometimes there isn't one."
Leon examined him for a moment. "And I get the distinct feeling that McGee's lines were a lot clearer before working for you."
"He's always had it in him; I just helped the process along."
Vance managed a smile. "He is very good at what he does."
Gibbs nodded in agreement. "If you brought me up here to discuss my team's skills, then you're wasting my time; I already know how good they are."
"That you do." He responded as he glanced down at the mini-reunion. "Maybe separating them was a rash move…but I did what I had to do."
"Maybe."
Leon was now leaning on the railing. "You don't think it's over do you?"
He shook his head. "Never did. All the more reason I need my team, all of them."
And it wasnt long after their converation that Gibbs' statement became a reality.
