Chapter 57th

Director Leon Vance had arrived back to NCIS after a stressful meeting at the Pentagon. Walking into the outer office his secretary Melanie right away advised him of the phone call from Senator Rory Walker.

"Thanks, I will call him right back in my office. Please hold all of my calls for now melanie?" He replied with moving into his office with turning on the skip mode for now. Sitting down in his chair he search the database with the number found easily. He wasn't going to like this one bit...

Dialing the number to wait for the connection. "Senator Rory Walker how can I help you?" He asked not checking the caller I.D.

"Rory it's Leon. I received the message from my secretary. What's going on that's so important?"

"Your ex girlfriend Madden just had a visitor at the Danville Prison. My new undercover agent was able to place a small electronic bug on her jumpsuit." He stated...

"And what did you find out Senator?" Vance was anxious to know the rest of the Intel...

"Your ex girlfriend had been hired as a hitman again. Someone in the prison is going to help her escape in order to continue on with the hit."

"Whose the target Senator Walker?" Leon Vance's heart rate has skyrocketed for the most part.

"Special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. How this is going to happen I have no idea. However with the undercover agent I am hoping she will be able to come up with the answer. I will keep you abreast of the situation for now."

"Thanks for telling me I will need to discuss this with Gibbs, and SECNAV with the next move. By the way does the manager of the Danville prison know what's up with Mallory?" Vance responded...

"He knows. I will get back to you when I have anything." Senator Walker ended the call with checking the time in had a meeting at the White House with the president of the United States.

Director Leon Vance needed to speak with Gibbs in his hospital room instead of the phone. He was done here for now and advised his secretary to go on home for the rest of the evening. Packing up his briefcase with the files that needs to be read and signed at home once he was done speaking with Special Agent Gibbs.

Sometime later driving to Bethesda hospital and parking in the underground parking lot. He wasn't liking this Intel that Madden was going to try and kill Gibbs as part of the hit placed by the Hernandez regime.

Coming out of the elevator on the sixth floor after receiving the pass. He walked down the hall to knock on Gibbs door. He was watching the local news having finished his liquid meal to be so boring. He was drinking water when Vance walked in.

"This is is amazing to see you Leon. What's going on to be here?" Gibbs asked soldem with his voice...

"I came here to tell you the following Intel received from Senator Rory Walker." He says to have Gibbs asking the following.

"Are you going to tell me what is going on before I have another one of those anxiety attacks?" He replied with annoyance.

"My ex girlfriend Mallory Madden of the Danville, prison will be escaping in a few days with having been hired as a hitman to go after someone I know very well." He was being very coy with his words and driving his friend crazy.

"Who is the target Leon?"

"You. The regime working for Hernandez has put out a hit on you and she is going to be coming here to finish the job."

"And if I am not here. She won't be able to find me here in the first place." Gibbs stated with his dry sense of humor.

"And where do you think you're going to be?" Vance needed to sit down for this one with his friend's answer.

"Loreile's safehouse Evergreen for the second time in three years. I suggest you call them along with Doctor Taft since the safehouse does have an updated sickbay to take care of the clients. I do know that Loreile is going to love it to come back and keep me company as with Shane and the protection detail."

"Just great! It looks like I won't be getting any sleep tonight with all of these calls." Vance was annoyed..

Some time later... Evergreen Safe House

Manager Colonel Gordon Peters now in charge of the safe house. He walked into his office after a briefing with some of the personnel. His secretary Joanie advised the Colonel that Director Leon Vance had called.

"Did he mention as to why Joanie?" He asked sounding annoyed with this night a long one.

"No sir he didn't at all. I would assume it had to be extremely important. He did said that he will be at his home with this number to call him there."

"Thank you, I will call him right away." He walked into his office waiting for him and with placing his heavy briefcase onto the side of the oak desk.

Dialing the number. Director Leon Vance was sitting in his living room trying to relax for a bit with his cell phone on the glass coffee table.

All of a sudden the ring tone went off to make him jump slightly. Noticing the caller I. the Safe house. He answered it right away. "This is Director Leon Vance how can I help you?"

"I should be saying that to you, Leon. What's on your mind?" He asked with his curiosity kicking in...

"I need your help with placing Special Agent Gibbs into your faculty and the sickbay to protect him from a hitman ordered by the Hernandez regime. And we need to do this in the morning with moving him quickly."

"Are you sure about this Leon?" He had to asked calmly.

"Yeah I am sure. Can we do this or not Gordon?" Vance exclaimed with his question.

"Yes, we can. I will process the paperwork right away. Just be sure the doctors taking care of Gibbs knows about the transport to the safe house as with his wife and former employee Lt. Loreile Ann Baskins Gibbs?"

"They know Gordon. They will be getting Gibbs ready early in morning as with his wife Loreile. There son Shane and Madeline the protection detail for the DOD. So the safe house is going to be extremely busy with raising the level of security."

"Excellent." Gordon responded with rubbing his head from the late night stress...
