The next morning, the team assembles in the conference room. Gibbs throws the maps back on the table. "Get your last look."

As the teams are reviewing every detail of the building, they hear someone opening the door to the conference room. They look up, to see Abby, Ducky, and Palmer walking in with several cups of coffee. As the cups of coffee are being passed out, Martin looks at her friend. "Abby. What are you guys doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? We figured you guys could use a little pick me up." Turning to look at the group, she adds. "There's sugar and cream on the table. We didn't know how everyone takes their coffee."

Everyone nods and gives their thanks. Once everyone has finished their coffee, Fornell stands up. "Any questions?" The room is silent. "Alright then. Suit up."

The FBI team uses the conference room to prepare. Each of the five members put on their Kevlar vests, and check their guns and clips.

Meanwhile, Gibbs' team is doing the same thing around their desks.

Martin checks her six clips before loading her guns. She puts her main one in her holster, and her backup on her ankle. As her final step, she puts in her ear piece. Once her partners have all done the same, they meet in the middle of the room. Looking each other over, DiNozzo pulls on Martin's Kevlar vest to make sure it is secure. McGee does the same thing to Bishop. In return, the women check their partners' vests.

Fornell's team heads down the stairs. Seeing they are set, Gibbs says, "Let's go."

At 7:00 AM, three black unmarked SUVs pull up around the corner from the warehouse. The two teams look at each other and nod. Fornell signals for his man to take the roof across the street. He nods, and takes his sniper rifle to set up.

Checking their weapons, the other team members put them back in their holsters and turn on their ear wigs. They slowly make their way towards the warehouse. Fornell and the other three members of his team head for the back of the warehouse. Gibb's team prepares to enter through the front.

Gibbs is standing on one side of the door, while DiNozzo stands on the other. They stand quietly, listening for any noise. After a moment, everyone hears Gibbs over their ear wigs. "The front is clear. On my mark." He pauses a brief moment and says, "We're a go."

Both teams make their way through the dimly lit halls. Hearing voices, they shield themselves behind a wall. They stay in this position, waiting for Fornell to give his signal. After a few short minutes, they hear him. "Ready in back. No sign of Rodriguez." They also hear the sniper on the roof. "All clear outside. He's got to be in the building."

"Alright." says Gibbs. "On three. One. Two. Three." The two teams rush the room yelling "NCIS hands up." "FBI stay where you are." Of course, the men do not listen.

They immediately pull their own weapons and scatter. A few, open fire as soon as their weapons are drawn. Taking cover where they can, both teams return fire. A few of Raul's men fall, while others continue shooting.

A bullet grazes past Martin's head, and she ducks down behind a large machine. Shielding herself, she raises up to return fire. She hit's the man in the shoulder, before she is forced to duck to avoid more gun fire. She sees DiNozzo raise his gun to aim in the direction the gun fire is coming from. He shoots the man in the head, and he drops to the ground. Martin nods at her partner before turning to aim somewhere else.

Martin sees Bishop near by. Running hunched over, she makes her way to her. "You good?" Before answering, Bishop stands to shoot a man in the leg. She drops back down behind the protection of the half wall. Nodding to Martin she says, "Peachy." Before Martin can respond, she hears McGee over her ear wig.

"A few of the men are headed towards a back hallway. That might be where Rodriguez is." After a few more shots, they hear Gibbs. "DiNozzo. Martin With me down the hallway." The three make their way from their positions towards the hallway.

Carefully heading down the hallway, they remain alert. There are two doors…one on each side of the hallway. DiNozzo takes the door on the right, while Martin stands behind him ready to fire. No one is in the room.

Next it's Gibbs turns to take the door on the left. DiNozzo has his six, while Martin guards the hallway. Again, the room is empty.

They continue forward to the door at the end. Listening, they hear voices on the other side of the door. Martin and DiNozzo are placed against the side of the door, while Gibbs takes lead. On his signal, Gibbs tells Martin to open the door. She turns the knob, and quickly pulls her arm back. There are two men in the room. Gibbs shoots one, while DiNozzo takes care of the other.

Edging into the room, they see that there is another door leading somewhere else. Slowly opening the door, they see what appears to be an office. There are two male voices coming from a large closet within the office. Pointing their guns towards the closet, they see Herman Rodriguez step out with a black bag in hand.

He immediately rushes for his gun, which is on the edge of desk. The guard who is with him aims his gun for DiNozzo. Martin takes the shot, and shoots the man in the head. All three agents turn their guns on Rodriguez. The four of them are in a standoff.

"Drop your weapon Rodriguez." says Gibbs. "No." says Rodriguez. "I don't think that's a good idea."

It's DiNozzo's turn to try. "Come on. Let's do this peacefully. You know we're here to take you in. Put down your weapon."

Rodriguez shakes his head. "I don't think I'm going to do that." The three keep their guns trained on him. "You see." says Rodriguez. "I'm not going to prison." He turns his gun, and points it directly at DiNozzo. Before Martin can react, Gibbs shoots Rodriguez in the head. His body drops to the floor, and the standoff is over.

The three walk back into the main section of the warehouse. Several of Raul's men are dead, while others are either injured or being placed in handcuffs.

McGee sees the three walking back towards them, and asks, "Boss?" "Rodriguez is dead." says Gibbs.

Meanwhile, Fornell is on the phone with metro. He requests a few ambulances and police cars to help in taking care of Raul's men. Gibbs pulls out his phone to call Ducky. He tells the ME to bring Palmer to pick up the body of Rodriguez. He then calls Director Vance, and asks that a crime scene unit be sent to help the FBI collect information. The Director agrees.

By the time they arrive, the teams have rounded up all of the surviving men. It is decided, the FBI will interrogate the men, as a way of getting information about the Raul family. Three of the men are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Each of these men are escorted by one of the members of Fornell's team. The rest of the men are taken away for processing.

Ducky and Palmer arrive to see Rodriguez. Palmer seems a little shocked to see everything that is going on. He is used to seeing one body at a time. Ducky shakes his head and looks at the team. "I am glad you are all alright." With that, he follows Gibbs down the hall to the body.

DiNozzo walks over to his partner. "Are you alright?" Martin gives what she hopes is a convincing smile and says "Of course." It's obvious that he doesn't believe her. They wanted Rodriguez alive, so they could give some sense of justice to Private Hunter and Alesandra. Maybe Alesandra will rest easier knowing the man responsible can no longer hurt anyone else.

DiNozzo places a hand on her shoulder, "Thanks for having my six." She smiles a more genuine smile and says "Any time partner."

After another hour at the warehouse, the team heads back to NCIS.

The team is removing their gear, when Abby steps off the elevator. She is relieved to see her team all in one piece. She doesn't know who to hug first, so she starts with Gibbs, and makes her way around the room.

When she finally gets to Martin, she hugs her friend and says, "Your boy called." Martin gives her a surprised look.

Abby explains. "Apparently he couldn't get a hold of you, so he called me."

Martin pulls out her phone to see two missed calls and a text message from him. Opening the text message, she reads 'Why aren't you answering? Is everything ok?' she sighs and runs a hand over her face.

"Don't worry." says Abby. "I explained that you were preparing to pay a visit to the Raul compound. To say the least he was concerned. You should probably call him."

They are interrupted by Gibbs. "Ducky has Rodriguez's body. Abby You'll be getting evidence as it becomes available. We have to share information with the FBI."

Abby starts to pout. Martin smirks. "Share Abby. It will be good for you."

"I don't like to share." She turns and goes back to her lab. Gibbs turns to his team and says, "Write your reports for today and get out of here. We'll finish up tomorrow."

The four agents get to work. They each finish up their reports around the same time. Turning their reports in, they turn off their computers and gather their belongings.

"So" says DiNozzo have any plans for tonight?" He's pretty sure his partner is going to visit lover boy. Martin looks at him. "Probably the same as your plans. Tell Keates I say hello."

She smirks at her partner and turns to say goodnight to the others. "See you guys later. Maybe we all can actually get some rest tonight."

McGee and Bishop say goodnight and head for the elevator.

Gibbs calls to Martin as she turns to leave herself. She turns to look at him. He simply asks, "You good?" She can't help but smile. "Thanks for having my six boss." Gibbs actually smiles in returns and nods.

DiNozzo says, "Night boss." Gibbs nods at his other agent, and the two head for the elevator.

Walking to her car, Martin text Abby. 'We're all headed out. Don't stay too late.' Abby responds quickly. 'I'm just accepting and categorizing evidence tonight. I won't be too long.'

Martin smiles and is about to put her phone away when she receives another text. Looking at her phone, she reads Abby's message. 'Call Johnson! Don't let your fears get in the way.' She doesn't respond, and puts her phone away.

Driving home, she thinks about her day. She had saved DiNozzo's life yet again, by shooting the guard. 'He owes me' she thinks with a laugh. Then she has a sobering thought. 'If Gibbs hadn't of been there today, DiNozzo might not be driving home now. She took the easy shot, killing the body guard. She knows given another split second, she would have shot Herman Rodriguez. It just so happened, Gibbs reacted first.

She shakes her head and turns onto the street where her apartment is located.

Martin gets out of the car and heads up to her apartment. Standing in the kitchen, she looks at the clock. It's 5:00 PM. She fixes a quick meal and downs it rather quickly. This skipping meals is getting old. Glancing at her phone for what seems like the hundredth time, she sighs and goes to her room.

Pulling out a pair of jeans and a blue shirt, she heads for the bathroom. After taking a relatively short shower, she gets dressed and combs out her hair. Not even bothering to put on makeup, she slips on her shoes and heads back to the living room.

Hesitating only for a moment, she grabs a few things and heads out the door.
