Chapter 4

Gibbs watched them on the screen, sitting in a van about a block away. Sarah and Tony had been at the club for over two hours, and so far everything was going according to plan. Sarah was getting everyone's attention, including Dracul Comescu, who had his bodyguard watching closely, from the second floor balcony.

"She'll be okay, Boss," McGee told him.

"I know, McGee," he sighed, and poured his third cup of coffee.

Sarah was the little sister that Gibbs never had and had become an unofficial member of his team, without anyone questioning it. He had read about Dracul, whom, unlike his brother, who was killed when Callen and the team went to get Hetty in last May, had more anger issues, and that scared the crap out of him.

Gibbs saw her give the signal that it was time to move, "Go get him, Red," he told her.

He watched on the screen as she kissed DiNozzo, to show that she acknowledged the order, and walked away.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Dracul Comescu had been watching the brunette since she walked into the club. She had shoulder length hair, a sequined black dress, and legs that went for miles. She was on the dance floor with her husband, getting the attention of every man in the place. He saw her walk up the stairs and over to the bar.

"Keep an eye on her," he told his bodyguard.

"Is there a problem?" Marku asked.

"No. Just keep an eye on her," he said and walked away.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

Sarah ordered her drink, put the overwatch into the drink quickly, and wished she drank something stronger before she walked upstairs. She walked slowly over to the balcony and watched the people below dancing. She knew she was being watched by Comescu's bodyguard on the other side of the room.

Dracul was nowhere in sight, then she looked over, at the far corner, by the VIP section, on the first floor and felt her heart drop.

"We have a problem," she said, wondering how she was going to explain this one.

"What's that?" DiNozzo asked.

"My husband is here."

"Your what?!" DiNozzo scanned the room.

"Are you sure?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes."

She couldn't believe he was there. He was supposed to be safe in LA.

"Sam is with him."

"What's the plan now?" DiNozzo asked.

"Abort the mission."

"No," Gibbs told her.

"My assignment is to protect him, I'm getting him out before he gets made."

She walked over to an empty table close by, purposely set the glass on the edge and while turning around knocking it over having the glass shatter and the overwatch being wasted.

"Agent Burgess, stay there, that is an order!" Gibbs yelled, as he watched her walk away.

Gibbs pulled off the earphones and threw them up against the wall of the van, "Damn it!"

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

"Do you see him?" Sam asked.

"No. He has at least two bodyguards here. One upstairs and one across the room." Callen told him.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"Something is up. I don't know what it is but this just feels wrong."

"Relax, I don't think we're going to be here for very long." Sam said, noticing every man in the place looking at the attractive woman in the black sequin dress. He was shocked when he saw Callen lean back slightly to watch her walk past their table.

"Just remember, you can look but not touch."

"I know that walk," G said, wondering if there was more going on than Hetty told them.

"Yeah, I know that walk too. It's called 'Sarah will kill you if she finds out you looked' walk," Sam said.

"No, I mean I know that walk." G stressed to him, "I'll be right back," he got off the barstool and followed the woman.

"G." Sam tried to stop him, "Crap." he got up, and felt his phone vibrate, "Yeah,"

"Get the hell out of there you're both about to get made," Gibbs told him, watching the screen and seeing another bodyguard notice them.

"Where are you?" Sam asked.

"We'll explain later, DiNozzo is at the main bar meet him there."

"G is going after her," He placed money on the counter and walked away.

"I know, just find DiNozzo," Gibbs slammed the phone shut.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

"Tony, I just crossed the dance floor, where are you?" she asked.

"On the other side of the main bar, by the kitchen. You have company on the way," Tony said.

"Roger that," she took a deep breath as she reached the end of the small hallway and turned to walk by the main bar, when she suddenly she felt a hand around her upper arm. They took her through the metal doors that lead into a service entrance hallway and put her up against the wall, with her left arm pinned between the wall and her back. His body pressed against her and his hand went over her mouth before she screamed.

"What are you doing here?" Callen whispered.
