I like the idea of doing this last chapter to comment on the story as a whole. I wrote one of these in the first story, but that was only because so many people asked about the title.
First off, I know many people corrected me on the fact that Kate is in fact Catholic. By the time I found out I was already more than half way done with the story, and didn't really feel like going back to alter the story that much for what seemed to me like that minor of a detail. Sorry to the readers, I know that's probably lazy of me, but I was trying to get this one done quickly to get to the next one I plan to write. And thank you to those that corrected me, I always try to be as true as I can be to the story, and I appreciate your efforts to keep me on track.
Other than that, this one required a lot more research than Veritas et Aequitas. All of the quotes I used in this one are real (good luck trying to find them on the Internet, it took me a trip to the library, which I almost never do). I'll admit I did however fudge the episode number on the Mr. Freeze quote. It IS a real quote from Mr. Freeze in Batman, but I honestly have no idea as to what cartoon episode or actual comic book number it was actually in.
The information on the Cult of Osiris and Hieroglyphics is also true and annoyingly well researched. Thankfully most of that IS on the internet.
In conclusion, I hadn't planned to write more than one or two of these. Quite frankly I think the first one was better than this. I think this one kinda sucked, and I wasn't as good at nailing the characters as before. But I also wrote it a lot faster than the first one. My goal for this story, for the next stories, and for the last one has been and will always be to make them read and sound like an actual episode of Navy NCIS. I do have full plots worked out for four more stories. After that I plan to do a tribute story to each of the characters, then that'll probably be it for my NCIS writing, unless I have another burst of inspiration.
For the few of you that have read both of my stories and liked them, I'm going to let you help decide which story I write next. Here are very short plot summaries stories I have worked out, you can either let me know in a review or email me at to let me know which you like the most. If I hear an outcry for a specific title, I'll do that one first.
1. Bethesda Naval Hospital is taken hostage by a group of ex Naval officers who have some strange demands. When Gibbs and the team are called in to solve the situation, old memories and tempers flare before the situation is resolved.
2. When the body of a naval aviator comes crashing through the roof of a suburban home, the NCIS team is called in to investigate. But what was first thought to be murder turns out to be far more complicated, and with far more deadly potential for the future.
3. When gravesites are found looted at Arlington National Cemetary, Gibbs and the team are called in to put an end to the grave robbing. But when ghosts from the past come calling, it become far more complex than a simple robbery.
4. When a visiting Japanese Princess goes missing, Gibbs and the team are called in on special assignment to bring her back. But wading through the bureaucracy and turf wars in the American government are half the battle of retrieving her, leading to an ending no one will expect.
