Gibbs and Sloane were making documentation of their opp. to keep all evidence against these arms dealers. When they were doing their work suddenly Gibbs remember something and make a call to Vance for some reason.
"Hey, Leon! I need something and I need that thing in morning. "
"What do you need Gibbs? And why aren't you and Jack sleeping right now? It's Three in the morning. "
"Well, we're making some documentation reports that's why we're not sleeping." Gibbs replied as he take a sip from his coffee mug.
"Alright than, what do you need from me?"
"A pen." Gibbs replied.
"A what? Are you out of your mind Gibbs? In the middle of the night you called me because you want A PEN!" Vance said angrily.
" Yeah, I want a pen. A fountain pen with camera and recorder. Is McGee with you? " Gibbs aske
"Yeah, we're still at Headquarter. Come to the point Gibbs, what are you up to?"
Vance was loosing his patience.
"Put your cell on speaker."
"Okay, Gibbs you are on speaker now."
"Great, McGee are you listening?"
"Yeah, Boss. What's going on? Are you two okay?"
"Yes, we are McGee. Now listen to me. I want a fountain pen camera with high quality video and audio recording that you can access it from MTAC." Gibbs orders McGee.
"Yeah, Boss. I can do that. I just have to patch through..." Gibbs cut his sentence.
"McGee! Can you do this or not." Gibbs was irritates by McGee's geek language. We all know how much Gibbs hates technology stuff. But this time it is going to help him most.
"Yeah, Boss.. sorry, Boss. I mean I can do that. But what are you going to do? " McGee stuttered and asked Gibbs curiously.
"Good. I noticed that Wayne always carries his fountain pen with him because it's a gift from her daughter. He was never keeps it away from him." Gibbs informed.
"And what is your point, Gibbs?" Vance asked
"My point is if we change that pen with our pen so we can able to monitor his every single activity." Gibbs explained his idea.
"Not bad, Gibbs. But how will we exchange it?" Vance was impressed by Gibbs idea. Because he knows Gibbs is not very good when it comes to technology.
"It's my problem Leon. You just get me that thing." Gibbs replied. Sloane came and joined him. Gibbs put his phone on speaker so Sloane can hear it.
"But Boss, what about you?" McGee asked him.
"Don't worry McGee. Vance is sending his toys for me too."
"Yeah, I heard you Gibbs. McGee get button camera with audio recording and GPS locator for agent Gibbs. And Gibbs you know how to use that pen camera when you will exchange it?" Vance asked.
"Leave that on me Leon. I will tack care of it." Sloane replied.
"Aahh.. agent Sloane of course you will. Now everything is clear to everybody?" Vance asked everyone.
"Yeah.." all replied in unison.
"Great, now you and Sloane go get some sleep and agent McGee and I have some work to do. "
"Wait Leon I want to talk to you about..." Sloane stop in middle of her sentence and looks at Gibbs. Gibbs looks at her in confusion. She tell him that she wants to talk with Vance privately. Gibbs gave her his phone and shook his head.
"Give me back when you are done." And he leaves the room.
"What you want to talk about, Jack? "
"It's Gibbs. He's not worried about himself. And I am getting scared of thinking that if whoever's running this business is already knows Gibbs.
I mean Gibbs knows plenty of people who are working in U.S.GOVERNMENT.
Maybe he meet him before during his cases or in meetings. You know what I am saying right? "
"Yeah, we do Jack. And your fear is disinterested. But we can't do anything until we finds out who that person is? We are also worried about Gibbs and we will try our best to protect him. And just in case if his cover will blown up we will not let anything happens to him." Vance assure Sloane.
"Thank you, Leon. I know you will do anything to protect him. Good night Leon and thank you." Sloane disconnect the line and turn and saw Gibbs was sleeping on the couch and the book he was reading lying on his chest.
She removes his reading glasses carefully and take that book and put it on the table. And carefully she lays him down on couch so he can sleep comfortably. Jack covers him with throw over. Then she ran her hand on his face and gently kissed him on his cheek. He's looking very peaceful. She smiles and go to the bed.
AT NCIS OFFICE
"Jack is right, Director. What if they know Gibbs. Gibbs life will be on line." McGee tells Vance.
"I know that agent McGee. But right now nothing is in our hands until we find out who is that person. Once we find that out who is that guy I will personally pick Gibbs up and bring him back to the Headquarter.
Now let's back to the work. We have to deliver a courier in the morning. Well any suggestions for who is going to deliver that courier to Gibbs and Sloane?" Vance said to McGee.
"I think I know a guy. Who's perfect for this job. Would you like to know?" McGee said with big smile on his face.
"No. I Love surprise." Vance said and wink at McGee. And grabbed his keys and his office bag and leave the office.
McGee was still smiling and left the Vance office.
Next morning at Gibbs's apartment.
Gibbs ran toward the door as doorbell rang. As he open the door he blinks his eyes in surprise. There's one curiour boy Who's standing at their door with his one hand on the door frame. And giving Gibbs a big smile.
"Your courier Mr. Gibson." Delivery Boy said.
"Got a new job, Palmer." Gibbs said with smile. And looking at his uniform.
"It's good to see you too, Agent Gibbs." Jimmy replied in whisper.
But Director's orders are do not talk with you or Sloane. Or called any of you by your name, agent Gibbs." Jimmy said with excitement being a part of this assignment.
"You already did." Gibbs said
"Did I? Oh.. I did. I'm... I'm sorry. I.. I really am..." Jimmy stuttered
"It's okay Palmer." Jimmy was surprised when Gibbs didn't get angry at him. He gave him a box that Vance sent for him. And sign on delivery paper. By the same time Sloane came to see with whom Gibbs is talking.
"Hey... Jimmy. It's good to see you." Sloane was glad to see Palmer. It been month since she didn't meet her team members. In reply Jimmy gave her big cheerful smile.
"Good luck Mr. Mrs. Gibson." He wished them good luck. He was feeling awkward because he has to address them by their covers name.
In reply Gibbs gave him smile and nodded in thank you. He can see worry on his face. He still remember that hit and run case. When Jimmy tried to stop that kid from jumping off the edge of the window and keep talking with him. He remember that Jimmy shared his feelings with that kid and tell him how much he worried about him. He really wants to give him a hug but he didn't. He has job to do.
"Everything is in there like you asked for it." Jimmy said.
"You did good. Jimmy." Gibbs replied as he close the door.
"Okay, let's see what is in that." Sloane said. And open that box. There's a button camera with mic and a fountain pen as Gibbs asked.
After Gibbs was ready Sloane put camera on Gibbs shirt. And hide it perfectly. And then she teaches him that what he's to do before he exchange Wayne's pen. Gibbs understood what he has to do and he left for his work.
At Wayne's house
Gibbs and Wayne was talking about their Boss, when he is coming from Russia. And when they are going to meet his Big Boss. That suspense frustrating him. He can't wait anymore but thanks too his Sniper training he was still holding it.
Suddenly Gibbs cell phone rang and he picked up. It was Sloane.
"Hey, M. What happened? " Gibbs asked her.
"C'mon Gibbs you know why I called."
"What? You making cake for tonight's dessert. That's good."
"Not bad Gibbs. You're using your marriages experience." Sloane was just teasing him and taking advantage of her fake call.
"What you want me to get all those stuff. C'mon M.. okay tell me wait let me make a list for your items you need." He turned around to Wayne.
"Hey, Wayne can I borrow your pen M wants to make cake and want me to buy those items for her." Gibbs asked him in typical husband tone.
"Ya.. of course. But give me back when you are done." Wayne replied.
"Sure.. thanks." Gibbs take his pen and walk toward bar area and put the paper on the counter and start writing all those things.
When he was done writing he put that pen in his blazers inside pocket. And continue on his cellphone.
"Yeah. I will come home early tonight and we both make it together. Love you too M. Bye." He finished his call and sitdown with Wayne.
"Steve my pen.!" Wayne said
"Oh.. Yeah." Gibbs take out pen camera from his coat pocket that he asked to Vance and click it twice to activate it's camera like Sloane tell him.
"Sorry, I forgot." He apologized to Wayne and hand it over to him.
"It's okay. So why didn't she just text you those items list?" Wayne asked
"Womens... You know they do what they wants to do. She's going to make chocolate cake for tonight's dessert. And wants me to help her with it. She's best wife. And I tried my best to make her happy. That's it." Gibbs answered him.
"Yeah. I know. My wife used to do that too. But after our daughters death things are changed. We fight all the time. She blames me and I... I.." Wayne didn't complete his sentence.
Gibbs put his hand on his shoulder and gave him sympathy. But Wayne walked toward bar area and started drinking. But Gibbs stop him.
"You just can't drown yourself in alcohol. This is not correct way, you know that too. And what happened it was not your fault so stop blaming yourself. I had a friend whose wife and daughter died in car accident actually they were murdered. He was in Kuwait at that time.
They're witness of marine's murder and they were under protection custody. So when they were being escorted to the safe house that bastard shot the agent's head and his wife and daughter died in car crash." Gibbs had tears in his eyes.
"So whT did he do?" Wayne asked him
"He killed that guy who killed his family. But still he was alone. That step he make didn't bring his family back. So stop drinking this shit because it's helps you to forget all pain for a while but didn't bring you daughter back.
So please stop killing yourself, Wayne." Gibbs said and takes the glass from his hand. Wayne hugs Gibbs and started crying. Gibbs was holding his own tears but he didn't stop them. He wipes them before Wayne noticed that and patted him on his back.
After four days...
McGee and team monitoring all activities that Wayne made. And informed Gibbs and Sloane about it. Gibbs hidden camera was also monitored all things and Sloane was handling it from their home. They were making progress they have enough evidence against them but they are waiting for the real ring leader.
Whole team was asking Jimmy about Gibbs and Sloane.
"Dr. Palmer, how Jethro and Jacqueline are? You got chance to meet them. Are they okay? I heard about Jethro was getting hurt himself after Jaqueline was attacked. Have you were able to check out his injuries? " Ducky asked Jimmy
"Well, they both are looking fine, Dr. Mallard. And I didn't get chance to look at agent Gibbs's injuries but I can assure you that he will be fine in next few days. And so as Sloane." Palmer replied Ducky.
"Aah.. that's good to be know, Dr. Palmer. I hope they complete their job successfully and return home as soon as possible." Ducky said with concern.
"I am absolutely agree with you, Doctor." Jimmy replied.
"Hey, Jimmy boy. You met Gibbs and Jack how are they?" Nick asked as he and Bishop entered in bullpen.
"Like I just informed Dr. Mallard, they are fine. Agent Gibbs's injured during his fight with a guy named mmm ... Victor. Yeah, Victor. But he is a tough guy and he will be fine." Jimmy replied
"Hey.. Jimmy. You met Gibbs and Sloane how are they? They both are injured how's their injuries? They are healing?" This time it was McGee.
Before he replied him Vance entered in bullpen and asked the same question.
"Listen people.. Agent Gibbs and agent Sloane are fine and their injuries are not that much bad. They will be fine and they are perfectly fine. So agent McGee, Nick, Bishop and Director they both are fine there's nothing to worry about. So stop worrying about their injuries. This is agent Gibbs and Sloane we are talking about. " They all nodded at him. But there's one voice come behind him.
"Hey.. Jimmy. Thank God I found you. I went to the autopsy and I didn't found you there so I went to the Dr. Mallard's office you are not there either not even Dr. Mallard was there. So I decide to come up here and look I found you." It was Kaise.
" Woah...woah. take a breath Kaise. What's with all hurry... man." Nick asked.
" Yeah, Kaise what happened why are you looking for me very badly? Is there something wrong?" Jimmy asked her.
"What! No.. no. Nothing happened to me. I was just asking how's Gibbs and Jack are they alright?" Kaise asked him.
Jimmy looks at everyone who are laughing. He has to repeat everything again.
Somewhere in outside of DC.
Victor was sitting in the Diner and thinking about what happened to him and how he can prove himself that he's right about Steve.
He was focusing on his memories about what he found in Gibbs laptop. He was looking at pictures that he take from his cell phone. Then he was stop swiping images. And saw some e-mails were sent to one particular Email address. That ID was repeatedly sawing up in that image.
He called his friend and sent him that ID to find out who's Email address is that.
"Hey, it's Victor. I need your help with one thing. I am going to send you one email address you have to find out that who's belongs to that address."
"Okay, but it takes some time so you have to wait for it. And I won't going to do that in free. You have to pay money for it."
"I will, just find out who's ID is this." And Victor disconnect his call. He was drinking beer. And waiting for his friends phone call. He remember that he makes deal with Wayne that if is wrong about Steve he will shoot him and if he is right Wayne will hand over Steve to him.
He wants revenge on Steve for every humiliation and making fun of him. Beat the crap on him. He just wants to kill Steve but he thought there will be no fun if he just shot him. He wants to make him suffer. He wants to beat him with his bare hands.
He was lost in his thoughts and suddenly his cellphone starts ringing. Immediately he picked up his phone.
"Are you trying to put me behind the bar? And if you're not want to pay me money then just say it. There's no need to make threats like this one." Before Victor reply anything his friend start to complaining about what kind of work he gave him.
"What happened?" Victor asked him.
"What happened! You're asking me what happened!"
"Stop messing with me and just tell me you found out who's email address is that? And you will get your money just text me how much you want." Victor was getting angry on his friend.
"Look man, I don't want money. Okay you just keep it. And I'm texting you that person's name and all details about him. And don't ever contact me again. Do you understand that? Unh.." His friend was freaking out.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you behaving like this?"
"Look Victor, you're my friend that's why I did this for you. But don't ever ask me to do this kind of work again. Now I 9texting you all details. Okay, bye." His friend cut the line.
And Victor receive a text message from his friend. He open that massage and he can't believe on his eyes. What the hell he was looking at.
He dialed Wayne's number but he didn't pick up. So he decides make a huge move he calls The Big Boss. He dialed his number and person who was the other side received call.
"Hey, Boss it's me Victor. We have situation here."
"What kind of situation?" Person replied calmly.
"Boss Wayne hired a man almost two months ago. I didn't trust him so I tried to tell him that he is not trust able but he resists to listen to me. So I broke into his house and found something, some emails.
I gave that ID to my friend to find out who's ID is it. But this is really very big thing than I expected.
That ID belongs to the Director of NCIS Leon Vance. And now I'm sure about it that Steve is undercover agent. But there's also possibility of it might be his wife because she is working at Pentagon.
But Wayne is not going to trust me about it. He trust him blindly. Because of him he kicked me out of DC. And threatened me..." that person stops him.
"Wait did you said. Director of NCIS! You send me this Steve and his wife's details. And I will tell you who they really are.
And don't worry about Wayne l will handle him. You go back to DC and tell him it's my orders. Now send me all details of Steve and his wife." That person disconnect the line.
Victor send all details to BBoss including their photos. After few minutes BBoss called him back.
"Since when this Steve is working with Wayne? And how much he knows about our business and our clients and all details and information? Unh... and howin the hell he findsoutaboutour business? " That person sounds really very angry. Victor was afraid to answer his questions but he answered him.
"He came to meet Wayne one night with pendrive. There's all information about Russian deals and dealers. He smartly impressed Wayne and started gaining his trust.
Wayne involved him in every single deals. And started sharing our all information about from whom we are buying the weapons and how we make deals with Russians and other countries. He tell him about you too. Not your name but Steve knows that someone from inside government is handling this business.
He also shared our accounts details with him.."
"Is he out of his mind. Does he have any idea who is this man. His name is not Steve Gibson. He is NCIS special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and that woman is not her wife she's also a fed. Special agent Jack Sloane.
GOD DAMN IT. I AM SURROUNDED BY FOOLS. You fly your a* DC right now and call Wayne and tell him that I'm coming in two days.
DON'T TELL WAYNE ABOUT AGENT GIBBS. WHEN I WILL BE BACK I WOULD LIKE TO MEET AGENT GIBBS PERSONALLY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT WITH HIM.
"Okay, Boss." Victor replied.
"You did good job Victor. Now I will give you pleasure to take revenge on our special agent Gibbs." With that that person hung up.
After that Victor started laughing like maniac. He was going to back to DC. And only God knows what will happen.
Other side in DC Gibbs was driving at Wayne's house and when he reached at his house. He saw Wayne was sitting with one man and having a heavy conversation.
Wayne noticed Gibbs and stood up and grabbed Gibbs wrist and dragged him to that man.
"George this is Steve Gibson . And Steve this is George. My friend and Boss. Remember I told you he will be in DC by the next week."
Gibbs handshakes with George.
"But he's early. That's good thing because I don't have to wait for next week." Gibbs was surprised he didn't expecting him that much early. The trio sat down and discussed about their upcoming deal. Wayne was very happy that finally he was able to introduce Steve to his friend and Boss.
And Victor was flying back to DC. And BBOSS know about Gibbs real identity. And worst thing is that he knows about Sloane too. Gibbs is unaware about what is coming and BBoss was waiting for him and Sloane.
So Gibbs and Sloane's covers are blown. Big Boss knows about them and he send Victor back to DC. Gibbs didn't know about what is coming. And Sloane's fear was right BBOSS knows Gibbs already.
Now let's see what will happens to Gibbs when he meets with BBoss. What BBoss has planned for Gibbs?
And only one person is happy about this, Victor. He proved himself right now Gibbs is going through hell. Because according to their condition Wayne will hand over him to Victor and now BBoss also wants to meet him.
So stay tuned for next chapter and find out what is going to happen with Gibbs and Sloane.
