Dark Void

Chapter 102

Director Vance had to think about it for a moment with the question. He was angry with all this happening at once. Especially for when it concerns Gibbs, Madeline and Melissa Anderson with their lives hanging in the balance.

Jose waited for Vance to say something in the interrogation room. Hs was drumming his fingers against the wooden table.

"Okay you have your protection. Now tell me where are these snipers you're talking about?" he stated with his annoyance showing for the moment.

"The three of them are not here yet Director. Currently they are holed up at a Cantina in Somalia, Paraguay drinking with the new Cartel leader and second-in-command going over last minute options and money deals. The past few days it's been raining hard making it hard for any flights to arrive or leave the airfield making it just too dangerous. But once the rain stops and the airfield is cleared. They will be able to fly out to the United Stated with each sniper each having their own target. I have no idea Director on which sniper will get which target."

"I will need to discuss this with the D.O.D. and SECNAV to have the protection details added. Put Mr. Alverez into a cell until the Witness Protection agents arrive. Thank you for your help." He says with the security officer taking the prisoner to a cell on the lowest level...

PAST TENSE...LATE LAST NIGHT...

The news copter had been broadcasting the explosions in Harrisburg, Georgia. Every official in town had gone to the sites to check out the damage have been done. And including the third one. The entire sky was lite up from the fires of the third explosion.

The report was broadcast live with a feed all over the Eastern seaboard. And currently Director Leon Vance had stayed up after waiting for Colonel Mann's report.

When his phone had been going off like crazy jumping up from his couch at home grabbing the phone to pick it up..."Colonel Mann what is the word on the end of the mission?"

"It went off as plan sir with no hitches accept for the extreme cold. My entire team had been complaining. Otherwise we are back safe with some evidence to be sent to NCIS and the D.O.D."

"And what is that Colonel Mann?" he said with his tiredness setting in...

"We found a crate in the front of the warehouse with picking out samples of the Cocaine and other pills while the top of the crate was opened for which we found very strange sir." Mann said with rubbing his head with the towel after taking a shower.

"Really! Now that is strange to hear. I wonder why they would leave the top opened in the first placed?" he commented.."We need to get out of here now before we are caught inside and killed with the explosion?" They didn't bother to check again upstairs for where the lone robber or a member of the Cartel was hiding in one of the crates. It would seem that he was going to stay inside until he knew it was safe to get out of the warehouse with some of the merchandise.

Both of the trucks moved out quickly after placing the last of the equipment inside the back. Colonel Mann and Sergeant Hillary Madden were driving fast in order to reach the main road. Once they did they had two minutes to move over to the side of the road for any type of concussion from the explosion. They didn't know just how bad it was going to be with the type of explosives in those crates.

Finally the moment came..."BOOM! There was another huge fireball climbing into the sky for everyone to see in town...An eyewitness had called it in to 911 on the outskirts had everyone on alert again...

Both of the trucks were find heading back to their hotel and this time Colonel Mann wanted everyone to sleep with needing to set up the flight with calling the reservations booth for American airlines. There was some grumbling from his team. Even though he knew that may be two of them will be downstairs drinking with Lt. Julies Jackson and Sergeant Hillary Madden.

Colonel Mann's history with Madden was a one night stand months ago for which he regretted almost the end of his marriage. However he had told Ann as he promised that he wasn't going to do it again. And telling Madden to leave him alone or else she will be written up. Though there was always a chance that she might wanted to transfer out with needing to a change for the most part.

After the one night fling. Mann needed to change his altitude with changing things with his marriage and wanting to try and have another baby. Once he had found out that his wife's ovaries were working again after such a long time. They had gone to see Doctor Angela Silvers at Bethesda hospital to check her out totally on whether she will be able to have the baby without any type of complications.

Once they had reached the hotel with hearing all of those sirens heading outside of town to the location of the third explosion. Both drivers for NCIS were waiting for them to take the two black trucks to there garage and with removing the equipment and storing them away.

Colonel James Mann taking the elevator up to his suite. He couldn't wait to get into the shower to warm up from the cold that is now in his bones. Taking off all of his clothing with repacking them for the trip back to Washington, D.C. He had made sure that he had locked the door with not wanting to be disturbed by anyone.

The only thing he wanted to do was call his wife even though she might of shut down the phone, laptop and most of all the text messages.
