Next morning at Wayne's office
Gibbs and Wayne having conversation, normal conversation nothing about their business. Gibbs and Wayne become best friends. Gibbs also like their friendship he really likes to talk with Wayne. But he was also aware about that their friendship will end up with his assignment.
He realized that Wayne is not bad person but his past life and circumstances dragged him in this business. Gibbs decided that he would convince Vance and he would help him. So Wayne should get the least penalty from the judge and jury.
"Can I ask you something? " Gibbs asked Wayne.
"C'mon Steve, since when you need my permission to ask me something. You can ask me anything... just shoot." Wayne said.
"Why do all kinds of meetings take place at your house? Means somewhere else, or may be some other place we can make it. This is risky you know that, right. " Gibbs asked Wayne.
Wayne start laughing and answer him.
"I really appreciate your concern about me, Steve. But there is a reason behind it. We can't arrange meetings in some hotels it's risky. And George is industrialist.
His industry makes weapons for U.S. Army. So his involvement in our meetings makes things worst for us. And as a middle man I took this kind of risk. I arrange this type of meeting at our bar where we meet first. Or at my place and office.
And just like you other people also think I'm a good person but they don't know me very well and it's good for our business. And our ring leader he just gives us orders and we have to follow it.
But I am happy because this work gives me one great thing. And it's you Steve. I got one true friend that I never had before. So don't break my trust Steve. I can't handle it after what I have been through. Promise me.." Wayne answered Gibbs question and asked for promise.
For moment Gibbs don't know what to say. He don't want to make any promises that he can't keep.
"Of course. I will never break your trust Wayne. But you didn't meet me with our ring leader yet. It's make me feel that you don't trust me." Gibbs replied with little sarcasm.
"You don't have to wait anymore STEVE. He's coming. He's already on his way to DC . And he sent me to informed you and Wayne."
Both Wayne and Gibbs turned around to take a look at the person who answered him. His eyes wide open but he hide it and glare at the person. He clinched his teeth and curled his hands in fists. It was one and only Victor. Who's smiling at Gibbs.
"What are you doing here? I told you to get out of from DC. " Wayne asked in anger. He feel like he breaks Steve's trust when he saw Victor. Because he made promise to Steve that he don't have to face Victor again and he failed him.
"You don't look happy Wayne... well its Boss who gave me the orders to get back to DC. He told me he will be in DC by mmm..." he looked at his watch and replied "aah... you don't have to wait any longer. He will be here by evening." Victor replied with devil smile and looking at Gibbs.
"That's great. Right Steve?" Wayne asked him as he turne back at Gibbs again.
"Yeah. It is." Gibbs just simply reply
"So why aren't you sound happy, Steve?" Victor asked him.
"Because I cannot digest this thing that a person like you can also bring good news." Gibbs replied with sarcasm. Victor just laugh at him.
At Headquarter all team members and Vance are monitoring everything. When they hear about what Victor said they all back in action. Vance start calling for backup and tell them to wait for his next order. McGee was on alert mode because he don't want to miss any single detail. Nick and Bishop are waiting for their orders.
Vance orders them to wait for React Team and then take a lead and wait for Vance signal. For team everything was all set. Now they have to wait for few more hours.
At Gibbs apartment Jack was also in action. She was securing all the documents and evidence against Wayne and this arms dealers. They have everything on them all details and information. They submitted most of them to NCIS but some evidence are still there. She has still 5 hours to finish this work.
Wayne send Gibbs home and tell him that today's night is going to change his life after once he meets his boss. And tell him that bring Sloane with him and then they will eat dinner together. For Wayne Gibbs was became his family. So he was happy for Gibbs.
Gibbs reached at his home and tell Sloane to get ready. But he didn't want to take Sloane with him. Sloane tell him that she's finished with her work and she don't want to let face danger Gibbs alone. Gibbs had no choice after all she's part of this assignment. They both getting ready for their last job of this assignment.
Gibbs was wearing black blazer with white shirt and black jeans. Sloane was wearing Notch collar pea cord coats and Notch Collar Double Breasted Blazer And Pants Set. After getting dressed they both are looking at each other. Sloane was looking hot and attractive in that clothes and Gibbs was looking very handsome and charming.
"Hubba... Hubba. You are looking very stunning Jack." Gibbs gave complement to Sloane.
"You are also looking very handsome, Cowboy." Sloane replied with big smile. Gibbs chuckles and kissed her fforehead. They get call from Vance to give them update about their backup.
"Hey, Leon what's the status?"
"Everything is all set Gibbs. Backup is ready to leave. McGee is keeping an eye on everything. Now we have to wait for our guest star. Aah... by the way you both are looking very good."
"C'mon Leon, I wear this clothes at many occasions and some of them I attended with you and you noticed it now. And I'm very nervous right now and I just want to finish it as soon as possible." Sloane said with nervousness.
"You are wearing it with me very first time, Jack and I noticed that." Gibbs was flirting with her.
"Shut up Gibbs." Sloane was blushing.. Vance was just watching them silently.
"Why? Because I'm telling you that you are looking very gorgeous in this outfits and what are you doing after this assignment? If you are free then we can stay at my place and have a some good time together..." Gibbs and Sloane are looking at each other and Gibbs was making her blushed. They both forgot about Vance and just staring at each other and they are both standing very close to each other they were about to kiss... Vance interrupt them.
"Agent Gibbs... what are you doing?" Vance asked Gibbs in normal tone.
"I'm looking at very beautiful woman. Beauty with Brain. Dangerous combination. Like old James Bond's movies. What do you think? " Gibbs was acting like Tony. Flirting too much with Sloane.
"What I'm thinking is since when you have started watching movies? I thought you were big fan of classic!" Vance asked
"I saw some Bond's movies with DiNozzo." Gibbs replied with smile.
"Aah... DiNozzo and his Bond's movies. How can I forget that. Okay, now pay some attention and listen carefully. Gibbs we will be ready with Tactical Team and be watching you all the time. So if find something wrong just give me a signal. And just in case your covers blown up don't worry we will get you.
Sloane especially you don't panic. I know it's your first assignment and with Gibbs it's like punishment for you but just follow Gibbs's orders. Understood?" Vance explained.
"Jack, being with me you is punishment for you!?" Gibbs asked her.
"What? No.. I'm perfectly fine with you and I loved it.." Sloane realized Gibbs tricked her. She narrow her eyes and give him a glar. She's not easy person for anyone to trick her.
"Okay, I think we should leave. Right Leon?" She was blushing.
"Affirmative. Gibbs watch your six. And Sloane's too. Good luck." Gibbs nodded and Vance disconnect the line.
"Ready?... Jack! " Gibbs asked her
"Yeah, ready. Let's go." She replied
After reaching at Wayne's house Gibbs noticed that there's few unknown persons were there. He saw Wayne, George and Victor are sitting in hall and talking about something. Wayne saw Gibbs and Sloane were here.
"Hey, Steve! Wow you two are looking very awesome. By the way he will be here in any minute. Finally I will introduce you and your wife to him." Wayne welcome them and tell them about B-boss arriving.
They all are chilling out and other side Victor was sitting at the bar and drinking his drink. And watching Gibbs and his movement. Suddenly Sloane whisper something in his ear and start walking toward main door. She was on phone with someone. First Victor decide to go after Sloane but he continues his focus on Gibbs.
Suddenly Sloane's cellphone started ringing she saw the name before answering it. And she was smiling after watching the name on display. It was Faith. She answer the call and then she asked Gibbs permission to leave for a while. Gibbs understand that Faith's call is how much important for her. So he gave her permission. She walk straight through the main door and leave so she can talk to her privately.
Inside of the house Gibbs wait was over and finally that person is coming. Wayne and other people stands up as he arrives. The lights are deemed so he can't see his face. But he can say that whoever's this is bald and taller than himself.
Wayne and Gibbs standing together and George was with that person they both are coming towards him.
"Now let me introduce you to with Mr. ..." that person stop him in middle of his sentence.
"I know him George. You don't have to introduce me to him. Right AGENT GIBBS." Gibbs was shocked by that. And suddenly all lights are bright enough so Gibbs was able to see his face.
Gibbs didn't believe on his own eyes. That person is no one but Secretary of Defense Wynn Crawford. Gibbs knows that he's in trouble now. He hates it when Sloane was right. She tried to warn him but he didn't listen her.
Now Crawford and Gibbs standing face to face. Wayne was shocked by what Wynn just said.
"What do you mean with that, Mr. Crawford?" in answer Crawford punched hard in Wayne's face.
"Shut up you bastard! He's not Steve Gibson. He is a federal agent. He's working undercover so he can get me." Crawford said that grabbing Wayne by his collar.
"He tells you a story about betrayed by government and being framed by his superiors that all thing is nothing but lie. He fooled you! He was playing with you and you keep letting him. You F*ing bastard." He backhanded him again.
"Stop hitting him, Wynn. It wasn't his fault. I made him trust me and I was doing my job. To protect this country from traitors like you." Gibbs yelled at Wynn and stepped between him and Wayne's. Wayne was completely shocked by what the hell is happening. He turned Gibbs around and grabbed him by his collar and shook him hard.
"You bastard! I thought you were my friend but you betrayed me, you lied to me. Whole time you are spying on us trying to get information from me. I trusted you like brother you son of a b*. " Wayne was very angry he punched Gibbs in face three times. All guards pointing their guns at Gibbs and Wynn ordered Victor to search Gibbs.
Victor tell him to put his hand on his head and lashed his fingers, and spread his legs. Gibbs signed in frustration. Victor started searching him. He took off his sidearm, his knife, his backup weapons and he found his button camera.
Gibbs closed his eyes as he found hidden camera on him. Victor saw that to Crawford and Wayne.
"This bastard keeping an eye on us whole time! I trusted him and look what you did to me." Wayne said and ran toward him.
"You f*ing bastard." He yelled at his face. And punched him in his eye and hit him in gut with his knee three times.
Then grabbed his back of his collar and made him stand. Then grabbed him by neck slammed him against the wall and started choking him.
"I... didn't... want.. to.. hurt you.. Wayne. You are... also ... like..bro..ther .. to me.." Gibbs tries to explained himself.
"SHUT UP... JUST SHUT UP...!!!!! YOU BASTARD." Wayne started screaming at him and showed his gun at him and he was about to shoot him. But Crawford stopped him.
"Don't Wayne. I want him alive." Crawford ordered him.
"Aahhh..." Wayne scream in anger. And lower his gun. Wayne threw Gibbs on the floor and Gibbs rolled over three times and then Gibbs grunted in pain as he stopped at Victor's feet.
Gibbs rolled on his back and rubbed his neck and stared coughing. But Victor grabbed him and made him stand up and he punched him in his stomach and kidneys twice. Gibbs was dropped to his knees in pain. Victor snaps at guards and tells them to hold him up. Gibbs was glaring at Wynn. Who was smiling.
Guards roughly grabbed Gibbs by his arms and twisted it behind his back one guard grabbed him by his arm and elbow. And other guard grabbed his collar and arm. Wynn walked toward him and standing face to face with Gibbs. Gibbs was concentrating on his breathing.
"Do you really think that nobody will find out who you are? Unh... Agent Gibbs. Now you are going through hell because you have ruined what I had created. It tooks me my whole life to build this business and you ruined it in two months." Wynn grabbed Gibbs chin and yelled at him. But Gibbs didn't even flinch. That makes him more angry. He punched Gibbs in face very hard. And punched him in his ribs many times. Gibbs grunt in pain and tried to double over but his captors held him up. Then Wynn punched him on his face that make guards lost their grip on Gibbs and he hit the floor.
Gibbs was feeling like baseball everyone was taking their chance to beat him up and he can't do anything to defend himself. He was surrounded by armed guards and four pissed off person.
Wynn kicked him in ribs and tell him to get up. Gibbs managed to get himself up but Wynn hit him with his knee in his face. Gibbs stumble back but remained his balance.
Gibbs loose his temper on Wynn and tackle him and slammed Wynn in the wall and start raining punches on his face plenty of times and punches him in stomach and kidney many times. Wynn was shocked by attack and try to defend himself. But failed, Gibbs was delivered every single punched on him very quickly and as hard as he could.
But Victor hits Gibbs in back of the head with his gun. Gibbs was hit very hard but that was not enough to knock him down. Gibbs managed to turned around his vision was blurry he was dropped on to his knees. One hand was on his back of the head and with other he was trying to keep himself steady.
Wynn stands up from the floor and kicked Gibbs. Then he crouched in front of Gibbs and grabbed him by his hair and yanked his head back Gibbs grunts in pain. Crawford lean forward his face and whispered in his ear in very strong voice.
"YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS, GIBBS. And you will regret for why did you said yes for this assignment. You and agent Sloane. And I am not going to kill you I am going to make you suffer." Then he slammed his head on the floor very hard.
Gibbs last vision was blurred but saw that Victor, George and Wynn standing looming over him and looking down at him with very hateful eyes. Then everything went black.
He ordered Victor to put him in the van and take him to their place. He and one guard grabbed Gibbs by his arms and dragged unconscious Gibbs out of the house and roughly threw him in one of the car trunk and tied his hands with ropes behind his back and then tied his legs firmly. And put black blindfold on his face. And start driving out of the city, somewhere in desert area.
Inside of the house Wayne was drinking. He still can't believe that Gibbs was faking his friendship with him whole time. He was feeling betrayed. Wynn joined him and tell him that don't trust anyone blindly in this business. Wayne made up his mind that he will make Gibbs pay for what he did to him. Gibbs really pissed all off them very badly.
Suddenly Wynn realized that Sloane is not here.
"Where Is Agent Sloane! Aahh... Go and find her. You fools." He barked on his men.
At Headquarter
Vance was watching everything from Gibbs's hidden camera and Wayne's pen camera. He was shocked when he saw Wynn Crawford on the MTAC screen. He's the one who is running this business.
He saw Victor, Wayne and Crawford beat the crap out on Gibbs and suddenly screen went black. He figure it out that they find out about the camera. So they switched camera but they were still not able to watch anything because Wayne was seating at bar area. They just can hear it that Gibbs was taking hell of a beating.
When Wayne turned around they saw that Victor and one other guard dragged Gibbs out of the house. But then he was not able to watch what's happened next.
He aslo noticed that Sloane was missing. She's not there. When they heard Wynn yelling at his mens and gave orders to get Sloane he feel like he has chance to save Sloane. He informed Fornell about what happened. Vance ordered Torres and Bishop and tell them to leave with React team. But they lost location on Gibbs. McGee tell him that he is not able to locate Gibbs after they lost signal from Gibbs's hidden camera. Vance told McGee to keep trying.
Out side of the Diner Wynn's men found Jack. They attacked her and knocked her down. Nobody don't know what happened to her. But there's a Fornell who's backing up Sloane as he was ordered by Vance. He saw three men attacked Sloane and abducte her he immediately ran toward her and drawn his gun.
"NCIS. Drop your weapons and let her go. Do It NOW..." Fornell yelled at them. He was hired by Vance so he addressed himself as NCIS.
But two of them started shooting at Fornell. Fornell take cover behind car. And fired back but they put Sloane in back seat and was about drive away. Fornell was firing shots at them but one of the man shot him in his right leg. He dropped on the floor and putting pressure on his gun shot wound. The good thing was that he noticed their car's license plate number.
He took out his phone and called McGee and tell him about what happened and he described the car and tell him license plate number. So McGee can put BOLO on it.Then he called EMT. EMT arrived in five and take him to the hospital. He was unconscious when they reached at hospital. But he will be fine.
Wynn's men informed him that they got Sloane and the shootout at Diner. Then they started driving at the same place where Victor took Gibbs. Gibbs was badly beaten up and in bad shape. Sloane was not aware about what happened to Gibbs and she was still not aware about who is behind all of this.
Gibbs was beaten and not in good shape. He was abducted by Wynn Crawford. And Victor was successfully take him outside DC.
Wayne was thinking that Gibbs betrayed him. And now he wants revenge on him. And Torres and Bishop are still on their way to Wayne's house. They also know that they are not going to be there in time.
Sloane was happy about Faith call
But other side she didn't know what happened with Gibbs and who is behind this business. Hell.. she don't even know who abducted her.
And Fornell get shot during trying to save her. But good thing is that he noticed license plate and called it about McGee.
Now let's see what will happen to Gibbs and Sloane when they regain consciousness. And what is Wynn Crawford's planning for Gibbs.
Read it and don't forget to give your reviews.
Thank you.
