Agent Jack Sloane met them at the warehouse.
"No scratches," Jack said, "That's a promising sign the two of you are getting along."
"I thought you were supposed to be out of town," Kellie said.
"Plans change," Jack said, "Besides someone has to keep you and Gibbs in separate corners."
"Are you two just going to chit chat? Time's a wasting," Gibbs said, opening the warehouse door.
Kellie walked into the warehouse.
"That's not good," Jack whispered to Gibbs, "She's way too quiet."
"Your job is to find out why," Gibbs said, "Good luck."
Kellie systematically walked the warehouse with Jack.
"So what's the deal," Jack said, "Usually you would have said something when Gibbs starts giving orders."
"I promised my brother I'd follow orders," Kellie said.
"I'm pretty sure the Kellie Corinthos I know would tell her brother she'd follow orders and then not follows orders," Jack said, "Even I have to admit that was diabolical making him ask Gibbs to say please."
"I would have come anyway," Kellie said, running her fingers along the wall, "Since it turns out I had some time anyway."
"What was with the delay in moving the kids?" Jack asked, "No one here is convinced it was because of the security system company."
"Things happen," Kellie said, stopping and focusing on a specific area, "It's being handled."
"Let's see your other brother donated the new building and the remodel, it's not like you couldn't stay at your dad's while the security system is being installed," Jack said, "the Foundation board hasn't been a problem with the move. So what could possibly keep your family out of Port Charles?"
"You tell me," Kellie said, "Gibbs…did your people find this hidden door?"
"They will now," Gibbs said, coming over and prying the door off to reveal a tunnel.
"Have your people look for construction permits here and at the other warehouses," Kellie said, "The tunnel looks fresh. I'd hazard they set up the tunnel to be able to easily move the girls and disguised it under the guise of other work."
"Take her back to headquarters, Jack," Gibbs said, "We'll take it from here."
"Gibbs, come on," Kellie said, "There's three of us here, plus some of my guards loitering and more of your people outside. We might as well see where it leads."
"If Garrett's waiting for you at the end of that tunnel," Gibbs said, "I can't take the chance you'll freeze like you did in New York."
"I handled it in New York didn't I," Kellie said.
"If things go sideways, do you want to explain to your uncle and brother, why you were in the middle of it," Gibbs said, "Do you want to explain it to my boss? I"m sure you probably have enough things to explain already."
"What exactly is that supposed to mean?" Kellie replied.
"Go back to headquarters," Gibbs said, ignoring the question, "That's an order."
"Come on," Jack said before Kellie could reply,, "We've got plenty of people to search the tunnel."
Kellie glared at Gibbs before following Jack out of the warehouse.
"As much as I hate to say it," Jack said, "Gibbs is right. We can't send you in the field not knowing if Garrett might show his face."
"It doesn't mean I have to like it," Kellie said, "I'm tired of feeling like I can't do anything about Garrett, the families."
"Families? As in your father's associates?" Jack asked, as they got in the car, "Are they causing problems for you? Are they the reason you haven't moved the kids to Port Charles yet?"
Kellie shrugged, "Nothing that can't be fixed. Maybe not the way I'd like to but"
Kellie was interrupted by her phone ringing.
"Are you staying out of trouble?" Jason asked when she answered.
"Of course I am," Kellie said, "NCIS even gave me my own personal handler."
"Just one," Jason replied. Jack caught his response.
"Your friend knows you pretty well," Jack said.
"Anyway, what's going on?" Kellie asked, "Are the kids okay?"
"Alyssa has something she wants to tell you," Jason said.
"I lost a tooth, mommy," Alyssa said when Jason gave her phone.
"You know what that means," Kellie said.
"Money from the Tooth Fairy," Alyssa said.
"Which means you'll have to go to sleep tonight," Kellie said, "At bed time."
"Okay, Mommy," Alyssa said, "I'm going to go get the tooth ready for the fairy."
After Kellie talked to Jamie and Jared, Jason was back on the phone.
"Thank you," Kellie said, "I'm just sorry I wasn't there to see Alyssa lose her first tooth. I didn't think she'd lose it quite this soon."
"The boys convinced her try the door knob trick," Jason said.
"They would," Kellie said.
"How things in D.C.?" Jason asked.
"It's still standing," Kellie said.
Kellie and Jason talked for a few more minutes.
"That is a smile I haven't seen in a while," Jack said, "I'd say you that you and whoever is on the other end of the line are more than just friends."
"Something like that," Kellie said, "Definitely not something I was expecting."
"Tell me about him,"Jack said.
"No," Kellie said.
"You trust your kids with him," Jack said, "So I'd guess someone that you already knew. One of the guards?"
"Close enough," Kellie said.
"No, the rumors about you and Jason Morgan," Jack said.
"What exactly are these rumors?" Kellie said, "One of your lab techs alluded to these rumors."
"The whole world knows he spent several months with you on the island," Jack said, "There's been speculation the two of you are more than friends."
"That much speculation and law enforcement isn't having a heart attack?" Kellie asked.
"Law enforcement has mixed feelings about Morgan," Jack said, "They don't like what he does. There will always be people trying to prosecute him and your father. But they also recognize there could be worse people doing what they do. Occasionally they do the right thing like stopping Henrik Faison from killing Anna Devane."
Kellie laughed, "Sums up my relationship with my father and the business perfectly. Agent Pride told Jason law enforcement really wouldn't like him if anything happened me on his watch."
"It's true. So are you are actually going to answer my questions," Jack asked.
"Which ones?" Kellie asked.
"The ones about your father associates causing problems for you," Jack replied, "and is Jason good in bed?"
"It's all classified," Kellie said.
"All of it?" Jack replied smiling, "Good for you."
"Damn shrinks," Kellie said.
"As for the families," Jack said, "I would have thought they would have left you alone. Aren't there rules about that sort of thing."
"Not everyone plays but the rules," Kellie said, "Not to mention I tend to be the exception."
