Jack frowned as he sat back in the chair in front of the desk in his and Daniel's hotel suite. He couldn't believe the things he had uncovered in the last twelve hours. He ran a hand through his hair and looked at his lover. "It's worse than I thought, Daniel! How in the hell did Jarvis not see what was going on with Shepard? How in the hell did the previous SecDef not see what Jarvis and Shepard were doing? It doesn't surprise me at all the previous SecDef and Jarvis were forced to retire unless they wanted charges pressed against them. I'm not sure they aren't going to end up getting charges pressed against them anyways. I'll be making sure that the new Director of NCIS is above reproach and doesn't have ties to any foreign agencies. While Eli David may not have known about the shit that went down, he should have kept a closer eye on his damn deputy."

Daniel nodded. "I agree, Jack. There is no realistic way that you can let Davenport promote Leon Vance to Director of NCIS at least not for a couple years. He needs to prove himself that he doesn't have his own agenda. Do you want my thoughts on what to do?"

Jack looked at Daniel with a raised eyebrow. "Of course, I want your thoughts, Daniel."

Daniel smirked. "There is too much going on to handle this as delicately as you should, Jack, and you know this. I suggest putting Gibbs in the Director's chair as interim Director of NCIS until you can find someone that you completely trust. I would then promote DiNozzo up to SAIC of NCIS HQ because in all honesty if there had been one then more than likely this shit storm wouldn't have happened. I don't know why Morrow didn't bring back the SAIC when he took over, but he should have because it would have made running NCIS HQ a hell of a lot easier on not only him but the agents that work there."

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Just from what I looked over I can tell you that not all case files are completed the way that they should have been. I can also tell you that several people have complained about Abagail Scuito and nobody has done a damn thing to curb the shit she does day in and day out. At least Gibbs has finally stopped letting her get away with the shit she pulls when it comes to DiNozzo. She should have been fired a long time ago, Jack, regardless of the fact that is a great forensic scientist. She's going to end up jeopardizing a case because she refuses to prioritize them the way they should be prioritized. DiNozzo's skills are going to be wasted if he keeps at SFA until Gibbs retires. Honestly, I think there should be two MCRT teams so that neither team doesn't get run down or burnt out."

Jack rubbed a hand down his face. "I think I can work with that. I'm thinking for the next six months after his vacation DiNozzo will be acting SAIC until I can get someone that I trust put in that position and trained for it. After that I'll move DiNozzo to team lead of a second MCRT and that way if him and Gibbs ever act on what they feel for one another they can't be brought up for it since they wouldn't be on the same team as one another. McGee is getting bumped back down to a Probationary Agent and he will attend FLETC again. As for David there is going be a thorough investigation into her actions while she has been in the States. She's going to be held in custody until we decide if there will be charges pressed against her. Eli David is on his way and he should be here by late afternoon."

Daniel grinned. "Eli is not happy about the stuff he has found out when it comes to his daughter. He is planning on questioning her himself because he needs to know just how much trouble she has caused for him, Mossad, and Israel. Ian is going to keep close to Charlie and DiNozzo today to make sure that nobody messes with either of them. I have also heard that Bob Tompkins will be making an appearance here in the next couple of days. There is also a NSA agent following Charlie around that I'm not sure anyone else but me has clocked. I have a feeling that something is about to go down and I'm not sure how to stop it or if I should."

Jack scowled. "Nobody better be messing with Professor Eppes while I'm here or heads are going to fucking roll. There is too much shit going on right now. I want to know who thought it was good time to fuck with three geniuses at once because I'm going to end up getting a front row seat in watching them fuck the person or people up. I swear I'm going to go completely gray before I should because of shit like this."

Daniel snorted. "At least it isn't me causing you to go grey this time. It wouldn't be so bad, but everything seems to be happening at the same time. If things were only happening one at a time it would be so much easier to handle and contain, but unfortunately this shit seems to be par for the course when it comes to us and people we know. Anthony DiNozzo is one of the few people I wouldn't want to take on because he is not afraid to make sure that those who wrong him or those that he loves pay in every single way possible. That man has more degrees than anyone I know, and he is still getting degrees. He is one that truly loves to learn, and he doesn't care what it is that he learns. He doesn't stick to just one thing because he loves knowing everything that he possibly he can."

Jack laughed. "DiNozzo has always loved learning, Daniel. I think he does it because he knows that it pisses his father off. DiNozzo Senior is a piece of work and had no problem dragging his son into danger as long as it benefited him in the long run. Gibbs recruiting DiNozzo to NCIS is one of the best things that has ever happened to NCIS. He was known before he joined NCIS and he'll be known long after he leaves NCIS."

Daniel huffed. "Will you be having Shepard arrested right away or waiting?"

Jack's eyes flashed with anger. "She's been suspended, and Morrow has had two of his men pick her up this morning. She'll be cooling her heels in a cell until I get back to DC to deal with her which will be a few days yet. For now, Davenport is running NCIS and he'll do so until Gibbs gets back to HQ. I guess we should head out so that we can meet DiNozzo for lunch because I have some questions that I want to ask him. I also want to embarrass Ian some if I can."

Daniel groaned and then laughed. "Lunch should be interesting then. I do have to say that Charlie and Ian make a cute couple. I'm glad that both of them have found someone that understands their work and won't try to stop the other from doing what they like."

Jack nodded thoughtfully as he stood up. He pulled Daniel into his arms and kissed him deeply. "I love you, Daniel, and my life is better with you in it. Let's go see our friends for lunch and then tonight we'll deal with quite a bit of this clusterfuck."

Daniel smiled softly at Jack and then followed his lover out of their hotel suite. He texted Spencer to let him know that they were heading to FBI HQ and that him, Gibbs, and Hotch could meet them there if they wanted. He had no doubt that by the time they arrived at the LA FBI HQ that the others would be there as well.
