Chapter 99th
Manager Anderson Peoples was in further shock to be hearing the voices of Damon Garcia and his brother talking to Senator Hill. Both men were shaking their heads with hearing the Senator giving the order to take out Gibbs and the others over the phone.
"Is there anything we could do sir?" Lt. Wilson just had to asked...
"Yeah. Send the tape to Director Vance at the Naval Yards to have him listen to the tape before making the decision to arrest the senator. He's going have to talk to the one Senator that he does trust and that is Senator William Anderson."
"I will Vance once we are done here. I know it's late Jack. However this is important and an emergency for when it comes to the lives of Gibbs, Madeline and Melissa. Even though both of the snipers had been caught. It doesn't mean that there are others out there in case they fail to try again. Gibbs is not safe until everyone of the Cartel are captured." Peoples had to say with telling Lt. Wilson to go home after a long day and evening for his agents. "Come back when your refreshed to write up your report."
"Yes, sir. I am leaving now with gathering my things in the office." Lt. Wilson had gotten up from the chair facing his boss with opening the door to leave.
While Peoples had picked up the phone to call Vance at his home in Washington, D.C. He hated to be calling him at this late hour.
Director Leon Vance after making love to his girlfriend Melanie upstairs in the bedroom and sleeping for an hours. All of a sudden he was restless with leaving the bed trying not to wake Melanie headed downstairs with carrying his phone on vibrate placing it on the kitchen counter to take out some of the chicken that was made for dinner as part of the leftovers and stuffing. He place some of it on a plate to have heated up in the microwave. He was hungry...
This is when his phone started to vibrate on the counter as he looked at the name on the screen. This had to be extremely important for the regional manager in Harrisburg, Georgia to be calling him.
"Anderson how are you this late hour?" He had sounded annoyed with his tone of voice and nervous demeanor.
"I am sorry to be calling you, Leon. However we have a situation that you need to know. Since their had been rumors for months that Senator Stephen Hill has been on the take?" he stated...
"Yeah I know. We have been looking for evidence on the senator for months. Why what's happened?" he asked with the serous question.
"We were able to arrest Luiz Gomez and Jose Alverez both Damon's associates and snipers to take out Gibbs and Melissa Anderson. Jose gave us a tape filled with 20 names working for the Cartel along with a number of phone conversations with Senator Stephen Hill giving the orders to take them both out and others in the recent past. Both men are going into the Witness Protection Program knowing that Hill once he finds out the truth."
"Why don't you send me a copy of the tape by courier quickly so that I can decide on whether or not the Senator should be arrested?" Vance noted with the request of his order.
"Already working on it sir. However it doesn't mean that Gibbs and Melissa are going to be safe now that they are in protection Leon. Let me know what you think on when you're able to receive the tape." Peoples commented while looking at the pile of paperwork on his desk.
"Will do Anderson and say hello to your wife Mary Ann for me?" he said with hanging up the phone and Melissa listening in to the conversation. "How much did you hear?"
"Most of it Leon. I am going to take out more of that chicken and stuffing for a late night snack." she said with a tired smile.
"I already had my midnight snack Melissa." he stated with blowing her a kiss and a blush to boot.

It was the next morning for when Director Leon Vance had received the tape with the courier arrived with his flight from Harrisburg. He's going to be staying here at a hotel that NCIS will provide until he heads back tomorrow at some point.
Vance had called Doctor Anthony Sterling not busy to come to his office to listen to a tape sent from Georgia.
He walked in wondering what the hell was going on with the director. "What's going on sir?" he stated with Vance telling him to sit down with explaining the story about the tape. "And you want my advice on this tape concerning the senator?"
"Yes, Doc!" he began to play the tape with writing down the 20 names mention before the conversations had started.
And one of the calls was from Damon Garcia speaking to Senator Stephen Hill. With the Senator ordering him over the phone to take out Gibbs, Madeline and Melissa Anderson.
"I can do that Senator. However if they fail I always have others that are "Sleepers" that can take over the job at any time."
Both men were in shock listening to the rest of the conversations with past talks about taking out other officials.
As the tape ended...Doctor Sterling asked Vance on why he's not sending any of his agents or the D.O.D. to arrest the Senator and the rest listed on the tape.
"I plan to Doctor. But I will have to talk to the one man I trust with the D.O.D. to be Senator William Anderson with his daughter having to be a target. I will let you on what he says? But in the meantime I will have certain agents on standby until I have that chat." he stated with anger in his demeanor.
