McGee and Winnie had been informed of their situation, and McGee was now driving towards the cabin, because Abby had pointed out they were no use dead. And now Gibbs was thinking. Thinking about Tony and the day he had met him.

Gibbs had walked into the Facility. The air was stale, it smelled like fecies and urine, and rotten food everywhere. As he walked into the meeting place, he saw a black clad man who stood on Morrow's right side, glaring at him. His face was covered and he looked almost frightening.

"Ice, meet Shadow" Morrow had said. Gibbs had put out a hand, but Shadow had not taken it. So he had pulled back his hand again. "Shadow knows the plans, now, you're going to cover him while he moves in, alright Ice?" Morrow asked.

"Sure boss" Gibbs replied.

Morrow had asked him later, right before the mission if Gibbs trusted Shadow.

"He'll do" Gibbs had replied then. And so it was.

Their first mission had been in a secret location in South East Asia, where a druglord were to be executed by Shadow's hands. Gibbs had watched Shadow go in, kill off about twenty people, and then exit, not making a sound, not even shivering, carrying the head of the druglord which he placed in a coolingbag. Shadow hadn't even flinched.

Gibbs had said to Morrow that Shadow wasn't human, he couldn't be.

And now, he was looking at a very frightened young man with a ton of regrets. A jumpy man. But like Morrow had said, on the case, Tony had been pure proffesionalism. A trained killer stalking it's prey came to mind when Gibbs watched Shadow, but now, a scared cat trying to cover it's tracks. Gibbs silently wondered what fresh hell Tony still thought about, since he tried to kill himself.

He watched Tony.

Human.

He thought about Shadow.

Not human.

As he watched Tony chuckled and Winnie snicker, he knew he had made the right choice with helping Tony. But he wasn't that sure it was the right choice to let the team see Tony on a mission. Although, this was Tony, not Shadow. Anyhow, all this would be history in a few weeks, or at least, so Gibbs hoped. For all their sakes.
