"...Moore left us for dead." After Charity spoke these words, silence filled the room.
"Why is there no investigation going on about this?" Vance asked.
"I think there is." Charity spoke. "When the doctors cleared me for visitors in the hospital, the Major came and asked me what happened. When I told him he told me to use the cover story Moore had fabricated and he would contact MI6 and there would be an investigation."
"Well, why hasn't anything turned up?" Gibbs asked.
Charity leveled a calm gaze at her father. "Because, the only thing they have to go on is my word and going through what I went through, not too many people will find me a credible witness."
"Let's go to MTAC. All of us." Vance said standing up. "We'll have a video conference with the head of MI6 and your C.O."
The group nodded and got up to followed Vance to MTAC. Tony walked next to Charity, keeping his arm around her, knowing that this was hard for her. "You doing okay?" He asked.
"I'll be fine." Charity answered, smiling weakly.
They soon arrived at MTAC and Vance told the techs who he wanted to video conference. After about twenty minutes, the two men he wished to speak with appeared on the screen.
"What's this about Director Vance? I've already confirmed that Roger Moore is one of my agents." The head of MI6 asked.
"Why don't you tell me about a mission he worked on with a group of five Marines from Major Larson's unit. One of those Marines being Corporal Charity Gibbs." Vance replied and gestured for Charity to come forward.
Charity stepped forward. "Did you ever start an investigation?" She asked.
The Major and the head of MI6 exchanged a look. Then the Major spoke up. "Corporal, we did start an investogation with MI6, but we haven't been able to find much."
"Well, then you need to get your asses in gear and find something." Charity said, unable to keep her mouth shut.
"Corporal Gibbs." Major Larson began.
"That was directed more towards MI6." Charity told her C.O.
"Corporal, we have been doing the best we can." he said, placating her.
"Then do better." Charity said.
"Corporal, we..." He started.
Charity made a cutting motion to silence him. "Look do you have any idea what it's like to be held captive and be tortured and watch people you're close to be tortured? Do you have any idea what it's like when there's finally a break in torture, a bomb lands on the compound and traps you and your friends in rubble? Do you know what it's like to watch your friends slowly die and then have to lie in the rubble with their dead bodies? Do you have any idea what that does to you?"
The lead of MI6 was speechless. "I...uh..." He stumbled.
"Give us everything you have and let us see what we can find." Gibbs said.
"I don't know..."
"We can find the evidence and we can finally bring an end to this." Vance said.
The MI6 leader let out a sigh. "Alright, I'll give you complete access to Moore's files."
"Does Moore know he's being investigated?" Gibbs asked.
"No."
"Good."
They were given the information they needed and then cut the communication. Vance headed back to his office and Gibbs, Tony, and Charity headed back to the squadroom. Abby was still there and Duckie was walking in.
Abby looked at Charity and saw that she looked angry and sad all at the same time. "Are you okay?" She asked looking at Charity.
"Just peachy." Charity answered.
Duckie then looked at Charity. "You my dear broke that poor fellow's nose."
"He's no poor fellow." Charity said. "He's lucky that's all I did."
"What did he do to you?" Duckie asked.
"You don't want to know." She answered.
"Enough talking." Gibbs said. "We are now taking over the investigation of Roger Moore from MI6."
"What is he under investiagtion for?" Ziva asked.
Gibbs turned to Charity. "You explain."
"He ran out on a battle and left the team he took for dead." Charity told Ziva.
"Who was on the team?" McGee asked.
"Myself and four of my friends." Charity answered.
Gibbs gave Ziva and McGee the information he needed to access the files and then set his team to work. Even though Gibbs hated to, he had to have Charity explain the situation to Ziva and McGee.
After about three hours, McGee looked up from his computer. "I have something and he's even worse than just a coward."
