Ducky sat at his small desk in his study at home. He knew his old friend Gibbs was going to run off and do something stupid. His sense of honor would require it.

A Flag Officer had been killed while on his watch, and now all of a sudden he was ordered to do nothing. Now I learned from Acting Leader Tony that Gibbs has put in for indefinite leave. I couldn't let the man just walk off without doing something. Not when I have access to the very resources his friend would need. I hadn't always been a mild mannered coroner. I had once, when I was very young, been something more.

He opened his desk and retrieved a small communications device from the back of the small drawer and turned it on. A small part of him was amazed it still worked as he spoke clearly into it.

"Open channel D..."

\\\\\

Carina's Pen beeped Carina never had the pen beep before.

Carina clicked on the pen.

"Open Channel D,"

The voice on the other end "Recognize agent Rodgers the line is clear for you director."

"Eleanor I am glad to talk with you again."

"You too Sir. What is so urgent that UNCLE would disturb me at my office."

"Ah yes right to the point. A former operative named Ilya Kuriaken called needing our help. We respond right Agent Rodgers?"

Carina was flabbergastered her old mentor was requesting help.

"Of course Director I would be pleased to assist a former legend plus my surrogate father."

"Excellent There has been a bit of a mix up and the police are holding 3 Americans."

"Three Director? I heard of only two."

"No Agent there is Three. Please use your UNCLE credentials and get them released."

"I will comply Director."

"Good Agent you have a good day."

Carina click off the pen and placed it back in the drawer of her desk.

Carina closed her computer and gathered her clothes and exited out of her office.

"Agnes?"

"Yes Director?"

"I am leaving for the day."

"Very Good Director Have a good night."

"You also Agnes."

Carina went into the parking garage and saw the beloved White Porsche Turbo Targa sitting just waiting for her. Carina bypassed it for the Black SUV. Carina got in and fired up the engine. She exited the building and went to City annex where the jail was located.

Getting into the building she entered the inspectors' office.

"Ah Agent Rodgers of UNCLE, welcome to my humble abode. A drink perhaps?"

"No thank you I need you to release the three Americans which are in your jail to me."

"And why would I want to do that?"

"To repay an old debt Inspector."

"A debt to whom Agent Rodgers?"

"My mentor and surrogate father Ilya Kuriaken."

The inspector's jovial manner vanished as he reached for his phone. He argued with the man on the phone but finally he finished the phone conversation.

The three men you need will be arriving shortly.

"That is good inspector I am glad you can repay some of the debt you own my mentor but remember your debt is not even a quarter paid back and he keeps good records!"

The inspector looked worried.

"I am sure he does."

The inspector looked at his shoes.

Carina looking bored waited and soon the three men were brought in front of her.

"These are the three men you requested Inspector."

The Inspector waived the young guard way.

Alex looked around Michael looked sheepish and Casey just looked Mad!

"Ok Agent Rodgers they are all yours!"

Carina looked them over

"Come on boys you have some explaining to do!"

Alex noticed the inspector call Carina agent Rodgers.

Carina placed them still in handcuffs into the SUV. After closing the doors she started the vehicle and left the annex. She handed the keys to the cuffs to Alex first then Michael and finally Casey.

"John Casey, how did you get wrapped up in this CF?"

"I was crossing the street at the wrong time I guess!"

"Agent Weston you know better than to draw a gun in Zurich my god you could have been shot! Everyone owns a weapon here!"

"Alex, how did you get involved?"

"I appreciate the rescue but I was just having coffee at the café and the police arrested me."

"So Agent Rodgers huh? So how did you effect out removal from incarceration?"

"When a legend like Ilya Kuriaken calls and asks for help, important people listen."

"I am sure of that."

"Besides he is my surrogate father. He raised me In Russia I do not know who my real parents were but he was a good mentor and a good friend. I am going to take you to your hotel your wife is very worried about you Alex."

"Ok Agent Rodgers but I think I need to talk to you later it is important."

"Oh Yeah Rick and Kate should be at your hotel room when we get there."

"You called my brother and his wife?"

"No actually he called me but no matter I need to figure out what to do with you other two."

"Michael can be dropped off at my hotel he has a room there."

"Casey I have no idea where you are going."

Casey smirked. "That is ok I will arrange my own transport."

"Ok well then I'll leave you here at the taxi stand across from the hotel."

"Fine thanks Carina I will owe you one."

"Casey that is right and I will come to collect!"

"I will be waiting."

Annie Walker was sitting in the side walk café and Auggie was sitting beside her with his arm around her shoulder.

"So Annie what is happening?"

"Uh Get this a Blond woman and guy with a cane were crossing the street to the bank and Michael showed up and pointed a gun at them. Alex sitting next to us ran into the street waving his hands."

"I heard that part. He said something about Anson?"

Annie looked at Auggie waiting. The police had just arrived and were taking 3 men into custody.

"Let me look him up. Oh Annie look at your phone this is what is up. They were trying to capture Anson. He is one bad guy! Keep you eyes open we might need to catch him ourselves."

Annie scanned the surrounding faces.

"Auggie there he is. I am going to give chase."

Annie took off after Anson and caught him a few blocks away. Annie called Auggie.

"I got Anson I am taking him to our hotel room meet me there."

"Ok Annie good work. I think Mr. Anson will be very handy indeed."

Annie had the slumpt over Anson on her shoulder as she entered the hotel. The hotel clerk looked at her with compassion.

"He can not hold his liquor." She told them in German.

The Clerk looked amused and a bit sad at the same time.

"Imagine a woman like that having to deal with a drunk of a husband!"

Annie just gave a sad smile and forced Anson into the elevator. Meanwhile Auggie had gotten back to the hotel room and was waiting to deal with Anson.

Annie knocked on the door. Their friends from the airplane were standing outside their room. They seemed to be wondering when their friend would arrive. They looked at Annie trying to prop up her "husband" soon the door was opened and she forced both of them through the door.

"You sure took your time Annie."

"Can't help it our targets next door were in the hallway. They were upset. They were talking about their friend was late."

As Auggie was tying Anson up

"That is not good our targets might be ready to call the meeting off?"

"Maybe but maybe not. They did not seem too concerned about it. But they did talk about my drunken husband."

"Annie what did you use on him?"

"Standard twilight darts, you gave them to me. Why?"

"Did they have the yellow tips?"

"Yeah"

"Those are not standard those are extra strength! He is going to be out for at least a day. Annie."

"Auggie we need help and I know right where to find it."

"Ok Annie be careful If you are going to where I think you are going good luck."
