Chapter 14:
When Tasha got off the phone she turned to Harm and said, "It was bad, very bad but The Admiral, Kate, Dad, Sarah, Bud, Sturgis and Coates are all relatively ok. Sturgis was grazed but otherwise he's okay."
Harm asked, "How many casualties?"
She replied, "Too many to count. Oh and Brumby was helping the terrorists."
That last bit of news made Harm's eyes open wide with shock as he snarled, "I never did trust Brumby but I had no idea he was working with Lafayette and Yasin. I wonder if he converted or if it was purely for the money."
Tasha quirked an eyebrow as she said, "I don't know but we'll soon find out. Dad's interrogating him."
Harm chuckled as he said, I wouldn't want to be him."
Tasha agreed. Then she said, "I guess we should give our guest the good news."
Ham chuckled again as they walked back into the interrogation room.

Jack glared at Brumby as he sat shackled to a wall in a cold sterile room. Fornell demanded, "Where the hell is this place and why was I blindfolded?"
Jack; now in a fresh set of SPEC-OPS tiger stripes BDUs replied, "It's a top-secret black site in the Mojave Desert and ya were blindfolded cause since yer FBI we don need ya spillin the beans bout this place savvy."
Fornell was incensed; he couldn't believe that a place like this existed in the United States. He asked as his eyes dropped to the holstered 1911 on Jack's right thigh, "Are you going to question the prisoner?"
Jack locked eyes with Fornell as he replied, "Yea I'm goin to question the detainee."
The he slipped an Earwig into his right ear as he continued, "I want ya out here watchin so ya can tell me if the dirtbag's lyin or not."
Fornell was genuinely confused as he asked, "Aren't you the best interrogator in the military?"
Jack replied, "Qui; but I want a second opinion."
Fornell nodded as Mac and Gibbs walked up. He noticed Mac was wearing Desert tiger stripe MARPAT's and both of them were wearing desert tan Blackhawk Desert Ops Boots. He also noticed the desert tan .45 Kimber Desert Warrior strapped to her right thigh. Mac locked eyes with her husband as she stated, "I wanna be in the room."
Jack's dark brown eyes blazed with fury as he snarled, "There's no way in hell am I lettin ya in there Cher."
Mac fixed him with her fiercest glare as she stated in her best parade ground voice, "I want to be in that room. GEN."
He quirked a scarred brow at her as he asked, "Why exactly is that Cher?"
She was about to make a snarky retort when she saw the genuine curiosity in his dark brown eyes. She replied in a soft betrayed voice, "I want to look him in the eye when he tells you why he was working with terrorists."
Jack felt a new surge of anger course through him as he looked into his wife's pain filled watery eyes. Sure she didn't like Brumby but she had trusted him as a colleague and he had betrayed them all. He relented with a sigh and said, "Alright Cher ya win but ya don say a word are we clear?"
Mac went to protest but realized that Jack could've very easily said no and she would've had to obey but thankfully that wasn't the case; she replied, "Crystal; sir."
He nodded as said, "Let's get this ball started Jethro."
Gibbs nodded as he followed Jack and his wife into the interrogation room.

While they were conducting the interrogation Gunny and Webb along with the JAG crew were busily trying discover the terrorist's next phase; just in case Jack and Gibbs couldn't break Brumby. Sturgis rumbled, "Do you think GEN Boudreaux can break Brumby?"
Gunny looked up and said as he locked eyes with the former submariner, "I know he can sir."
Sturgis nodded as Webb said, "I still don't think the CO of SOCOM and an NCIS Agent should be conducting the interrogation."
They all looked up as AJ rumbled, "Then who should be Mr. Webb; the CIA?"
Webb nodded as he stated, "Absolutely."
This statement caused Kate to snort derisively as she stated, "Yea cause the CIA is so effective."
Webb bristled at her comment and was about to say something when AJ snapped, "Webb shut up and get back to work."

Lafayette was beyond furious as he thought about the aussie Naval CDR getting tortured. He asked, "Father should we get our brother an attorney?"
Yasin thought about it and replied, "We can try my son but the kafir like to say everyone is entitled to an attorney but that is untrue. If they classify a person an enemy combatant or a terrorist then the person does not get an attorney. Instead they are shipped to their prison camp in Guantanamo bay or they are shipped to one of their abhorrent black sites."
Lafayette nodded as he made the call.

45 minutes later Ibrahim Bashir strutted into JAG HQ and demanded, "I wish to see CDR Mic Brumby at once."
AJ sasked, "And who the hell are you?"
Bashir replied in his nasally effeminate voice, "I am Ibrahim Bashir his attorney."
AJ said, "Well he's not here."
Bashir demanded, "Well where is he?"
AJ replied, "I do not know. CMDR Brumby is an enemy combatant and therefore he is not entitled to an attorney sir."
Bashir turned purple with rage as he screamed, "You imperialist kafir always like to label the believers as enemy combatants or terrorists."
AJ grabbed Bashir by the elbow and led him into his office as He growled, "Mr. Bashir we will talk in here."
