Dangerous Liaisons
Chapter 29th
When Leon Vance had woke in his quarters. There were a number of voicemails on his phone needing to speak with him about the latest shootings. He was given the short version earlier in regard to Lt. Baskins catching another shooter going after Gibbs at his house.
His head was spinning and it wasn't even eight o'clock in the morning. Even though he was stuck at the safehouse. He did know that NCIS officials were going to be speaking with ex secretary of defense Wynn Crawford to try and get him to talk with giving him a deal. He was currently in prison for life though if he talks this will no doubt change with a possible chance of parole for good behavior. This all depends on how the inmates treat him for when they find out that he had made a deal with the Feds.
"Yeah, what's up Special Agent Fornell ?" He asked looking at the time on the wall in the living room of his quarters.
Tobias Fornell had the detail to talk with Wynn Crawford at the local F.B.I. regional office with a new man in charge as his supervisor ever since Captain Brighten was shot and killed. "Director Vance just to let you know we were able to cut a deal with Crawford to have him give the location of the top man over Captain Brighten. As we speak we should be arresting the CEO Gordon Mckinney of the Space Industries in Washington, D.C. having been pulling the strings."
"No doubt he will go into hiding once he finds out that the authorities are looking for him. Either he winds up killing himself from talking to the Federal government." Vance says with placing a hand over his head since he's always keeps his hair extremely short.
"I don't think he will disappear before my agents arrive at his office or home in Washington, D.C.. This operation trying to kill Gibbs and others has been one big mess from the very beginning. And now hearing that The Calling will be getting involved as well will only bring up bad memories for Jethro and his team."
"I realize that agent Fornell. We just need to deal with it when the situation arises. Did you happened to called Gibbs at his house to find out how he was doing?" Director Vance asked with having concern for his agent and friend.
"I spoke with Lt. Baskins having answered his phone. He was sound asleep on the couch having been given a strong sleeping and pain killer. Or else he would be trying to head back to work to help with the case." Tobias relayed the information to Vance. "Listen I don't have anything else to report at the moment. " He ends the phone call to head back to his own office needing to be cleaned up slightly with files piled sky high for him to be filed away.

Space Industries Washington, D.C.
CEO Gordon Mckinney aged 56 divorced had just arrived back from the White House talking with the President and Vice president in the Oval office discussing business for additional funding for his Space Industries and computer terminals for the International Space station.
He was sitting in his office just about getting ready to make additional calls when there was a knock on his door. "Come in please." He says not knowing who it might be.
Three local F.B.I. agents walked in with their weapons in hands along with a warrant to arrest the CEO. "Gordon Mckinney we are here to arrest you for your involvement with trying to murder a number of Federal agents, a medical examiner and private civilians. I am agent Franks of the F.B.I., We will be taking you downtown to be processed." He said with pulling out his cuffs.
"Who ratted me out?" He asked angered while Franks placed his wrists behind his back putting on the cuffs.
"Your old friend ex secretary of defense Wynn Crawford. Enough of this lets go before I punch you out for sure." Agent Franks wanted to hit someone with all of the recent killings and coming close three times with Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
"Damn bastard! I should of known he would give me up to the F.B.I., He's going to have his day with the devil once certain people find out he talked." He didn't say anything further with the agents pushing him out of his office and the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Placing the suspect into the back seat of the black SUV leaving him with one agent to keep an eye out on him while the other two in the front to head back to the F.B.I. office. While they had driven out of the underground parking lot. While two men in a grey truck was watching through binoculars. They didn't move at all while talking to someone over a walkie talkie giving their report...

Gibbs house
Doctor Cyril Taft had arrived later from the hospital after finishing his early rounds to check on his patient and friend Special Agent Gibbs. He walked inside the living room after Lt. Baskins had opened the front door. He was carrying his black medical bag filled with supplies to give the once over with his patient.
"He's awake doc and mad as hell that you slipped him a mickey knocking him out." Loreile smiled while walking with him to see Gibbs walking out from the small bathroom near the kitchen using his cane doing better.
"Agent Gibbs how are you feeling this morning?" Doc asked with placing his black bag onto the coffee table.
"Much better even though I still hurt with my shoulder and right leg. I am not getting any younger now of days." He quipped with the slight joke about his age.
"No kidding Jethro! You need to take it slow to let your body recover from the damage that was done." Taft said with telling him to sit down so that he can change the bandages.
"Alright I am try and take it easy Doc. It's so hard for me not to be leaving this house to work on a case at NCIS. And besides I need to get back at those that have tried three times to come after me with Loreile taking them out." He stated with a crooked smile while watching Loreile moving towards the stairs to change her clothes.
"That may be Jethro, however you need to take it easy for a few more days before I decide a course of action on whether you're able to go back to work on a limited basics. What you do need is to talk with Doctor Grace once again about the entire situation."
"No way will I spill my guts again after the last few times. And besides I am much more together instead of falling apart. I am able to handle myself much better Cyril." He said calmly however Doctor Taft wasn't buying it.
"Sorry Jethro, you will talk to her or I will be sure to talk with Vance that you're not able to come back to work." He was blackmailing him once again with his patient knowing his background really well.
