As I promised, here are some more answers.
It's Not What You Think-Chapter 5-Why She's Missing
Five days ago
Kate Todd was sitting on her couch reading a magazine when the door knocked. When she got up and answered it, she was shocked to see Gibbs' Most Wanted himself: Ari Haswari.
"What the hell-"
He cuts her off by pushing her back into her apartment, closing the door and locking it as he points a gun at her.
"Shh. Caitlin, you must listen to me, and listen carefully. I'm here to warn you."
"Warn me?" She reaches for her own weapon but is stopped by the fugitive.
"Yes. You and your team are in great danger. I can't say from whom, I don't know who they are, but they want you dead."
"What? Dead? What the hell are you talking about?"
"It's not Agent Gibbs they are after, nor Agents Dinozzo or McGee or Dr. Mallard or your friend Abby. They are after you."
"Why me?" she had given up trying to reach for a weapon at this point and was instead trying to see what was going on in his head.
"You worked for the Secret Service, correct? These people aren't very happy at having their plans foiled by a warrior woman such as you. Your Director has asked that you be put in protective custody."
"Does Gibbs know about this?"
"No, and he won't know until it is time for him to find out. I will pretend to go after him. You will be made his bodyguard…" He continued telling her the plan while she sat there speechless. Finally, he told her what would happen after she had "died."
"Your doctor does not know, either. Only a few have been informed. Someone will come into the morgue to take your body away-"
"But what about the autopsy? Ducky will know something is up."
"No, he won't. A body will be provided."
"They'll still know it's not me," she said.
"You do not know that. Nor will you remember any of this conversation." He took out a white cloth and held it over her nose and mouth. Once she was unconscious, he set about erasing all evidence of his visit. She would wake later and think that she had fallen asleep reading. All traces of the drug would be gone from her system by then.
"Good-bye, Caitlin. Until you are dead."
He quietly left the apartment. Taking out his cell phone, he made a call
"Agent Michaels? It's done."
NCIS HQ-Autopsy room-0600 Zulu
A figure swathed in dark clothing carefully made his way to the drawers where bodies were kept. Using a flashlight to illuminate the names written on cards at the face of the drawers, the visitor stopped at the fifth drawer they had come to.
Todd, Caitlin
Carefully opening the drawer, the person was greeted by the sight of the body of NCIS Special Agent Caitlin "Kate" Todd, formerly with the Secret Service. As the figure moved, it became evident to anyone who might have been watching (although highly unlikely since the security cameras were currently on a loop) that this intruder was a man.
He opened the drawer all the way and with much ease, picked up the cadaver. He was soon joined by a woman, also in black. She looked at the name on the drawer and looked at the face of the dead woman. I guess we could have been seen as sisters, the woman thought as she brought a body bag and gurney with her.
The two people loaded the body into the bag and rolled the gurney, corpse and all, out of the room and on to the elevator a few feet away. Once inside, the woman, a brunette who looked extremely uncomfortable with the situation, broke the silence.
"She really does look like me. Who was she?"
"A homeless woman," her companion, a dark-haired man in his 30's answered.
"How did you-"
"Make her look like you? We didn't. She was killed because she looked like you."
"What?"
"Do not worry, Caitlin, our friend in California has everything in place."
"But the body is supposed to be released tomorrow. They'll notice she's, I mean I'm, gone."
"That's the plan."
"Gibbs is going to kill you when he finds out."
The man laughed. "Maybe. We'll see after he finds out why you're 'dead.'"
Kate looked like she was about to say something, but thought better of it when the elevator stopped and the doors opened. They wheeled the gurney to a waiting van; a man dressed as a coroner came out and opened the back doors for them, watching as they loaded the gurney with its special "package" into the back.
"Ari! What took you so long?"
"We had to wait for the guard rotation," he answered.
"No one saw you?"
"No. We made sure we were invisible. I can't go walking around with a dead woman, now can I?" he joked, talking about Kate.
"As long as you weren't seen-"
"Don't worry, Jameson. We weren't seen. The security feed should be coming out of the loop in a few minutes. We'd better leave."
"Agreed," Jameson said as the two men followed Kate and climbed into the van.
Ari noticed the look of worry on Kate's face through the little light they had from the street lights. "Don't worry. It will all be over soon."
She said nothing.
Well, does that answer any more questions? I hope so. Please keep your reviews coming!
