The beginnings of a new life
Chapter 62th
Senator Steven Hill had a headache after making the three calls for which all three of the DOD members agreed to the idea providing that the NCIS team is extremely careful with the operation.
He told them that Senior Field Agent McGee is a great team leader and no doubt someday will be taking over for Special Agent Gibbs once he finally puts in his retirement papers. Currently he's recovering in the hospital before leaving to take his well deserved vacation.
Drinking the last of his bottled flavored water after he was done with his calls in the chambers. He had one more call to make before finally going on home after such a long day.
Dialing the number again on his cell phone he waited for Vance to pick up with the lateness of the hour. "Leon just getting back to you with the approval for the OFF THE BOOKS." He said calmly...
"I will let my team know that the operation has been approved. However within forty five minutes a courier will be arriving with an envelope with the flight tickets, hotel and contacts with the F.B.I. and NCIS local offices Leon. I am sure that the Cartel will be keeping a close watch on the team and most of all funding for which will be used." Senator Hill mentions to Vance over the phone.
"I highly appreciate this Senator with the approval." Vance responded...
"Don't thank me Leon. It was the other three with the approval providing that the team doesn't take any dangerous chances in dealing with the Cartel. Please keep me updated on their situation with the operation. By the way how is Special Agent Gibbs been feeling of late?" He had asked with concern...
"Getting better each day and chomping at the bit that he's not able to go along. But knowing Gibbs like I do. I have a feeling he's going to try and find a way with going to Harrisburg to get even against his ex wife and the Cartel. Thanks again Steven and good evening." He needed to head downstairs to speak with the team along with contacting his niece Agent Victoria Tyler.
Reaching the bullpen of NCIS. The team looked up to see the Director coming over to McGee. "Alright everyone we have approval. I suggest you called Tyler and have her in the conference in ten minutes for a briefing..."
"Yes,sir." Tim went to work with calling Tyler upstairs as she had no idea on what was happening.
Lt. Brown and Nick Torres had gotten up from their stations to head up to the conference room for the briefing...
Ten minutes later with Victoria Tyler sitting inside as with the others. "Alright everyone I don't wish to have anyone to take any extreme chances when you arrived. You're going to meet up with the local F.B.I. and NCIS agents to meet them at the airport before they bring you to the hotel."
"For how long Director since I still don't know what this is all about?" Tyler was curious with asking the important question.
"This is going to be your first OFF THE BOOKS operation since you're the logical choice to go. McGee is the team leader and Senior Field agent will bring you up to date on the mission while on the plane. Understand?"
"Yeah I do Director." She said calmly.
"A courier is going to be here soon with the flight tickets, intel on the mission and most of all the funding for the operation using the SEVNAV account used to own by Kynn Crawford Ex Secretary of the Navy. You will all leave in four hours."
"Sir do you expect any trouble from the Cartel while we are there?" Nick asked with the obvious question.
"Now what do you think Nick? Between Rebecca and the new leader, you will need to watching for any type of tails before arriving to your hotel room. We do know that the Cartel will be moving in new merchandise for the pipeline in order to supply the vendors having purchased the merchandise."
"Anything else Director?" Lt. Brown asked...
"I do Lt. But that is another matter entirely for which I like to talk with McGee alone so all of you get out of here now so I can."
He waited for everyone to leave while McGee had stayed behind. "What's up Director Vance?"
"Did you ever consider that Special Agent Gibbs since he's doing so much better that he might take the chance of leaving the hospital to come to Harrisburg, Georgia. As for how this is going to come about I have no idea at the moment.
It was at this particular moment the courier as he was being escorted by one of the NCIS agents. As Leon Vance signed for the envelope before the courier left to head back to the DOD headquarters. Vance opened it up with the full report, pictures included taken of Damon Garcia the new Cartel leader and most of all the debit cards four of them to use... "Here you go Tim. They had included photos of the the Cartel leader so once again please be careful." He had stated once again with his statement.
"Don't worry sir. Plus I will be keeping an eye on Victoria as well with the mission. As for Special Agent Gibbs you're going to be having your hands full?" He said negatively with the question.
"I agree with you, McGee. Now get moving your flight leaves in three hours and thirty five minutes." He says with McGee leaving quickly...
McGee grabbed his briefcase wit taking hold of his phone to send a text message to update his wife on the mission and to see if she could help with some of the packing...
"NO PROBLEM TIM. WILL BE DONE WHEN YOU GET HOME. LOVE DELILAH.
He had smiled that his wife was being very supported of this operation and though she had to call her sister asking for help.
