Chapter Two: Getting Out

"Take the boy out," one of the agents replied harshly. The second Agent moved towards Gibbs.

"Like hell you will," Gibbs said fire flashing through is eyes. The look stopped the agent cold in his tracks. He looked up to his partner for help then at Jeb. Jeb shrugged his shoulders. He then sat down across from Kate. Gibbs continued to glare at the agent as only Gibbs can glare and the man slowly backed away.

"Agent Gibbs, you could be placed under arrest for what you did in our lobby," The other agent continued.

"Spare me, you want to arrest me come get me," Gibbs growled at him. Jeb shot a look and a signal to Gibbs. Kate watched as Gibbs nodded at him and settled a little in the chair.

"I'm Special Agent Grant and that is Special Agent Carrins," Grant continued after he shook off the glare Gibbs was giving him.

"Cut the crap, Grant," Gibbs replied. The CIA Agent eyes flashed with anger at the use of his last name and not title. But he continued anyway.

"Special Agent McPherson and his nephew are staying in this safe house under the guise that no one knows where he is and that they will be safe here."

"Why the hell do they have to be here?"

"Special Agent McPherson was on a deep cover mission that was blown. He managed to escape with his life only to have it threatened again after he reached home. He was in the presence of his nephew which is why the boy was also brought in."

"Jeb, what the hell were you thinking? Excepting deep cover like that!" Gibbs yelled at Jeb. Jeb looked at him with regret in his eyes and just shook his head. Gibbs' disappointment was evident in his eyes and Kate could see it cut into Jeb. Kate reached out and touched Gibbs on the arm. It broke Gibbs' connection to Jeb as he looked at her. He nodded and turned back to the Special Agents.

"I can't go into much detail since not everyone in the room…"

"She's with me, don't even question her," Gibbs growled at Grant. Grant looked at Kate then back at Gibbs. "Who scrubbed the mission?"

"We haven't pinned down anyone person that slipped up. This is an on going investigation and…"

"You're hiding something. Don't try to lie to me," Gibbs said and Hunter started to stir in his lap. Gibbs instinctively wrapped his arms around the boy and held him tighter. "Jeb, you and Hunter are walking out of here with me right now. You have what you need?"

"Hold it right there," Grant shouted and started to move towards Jeb. "You aren't going any where. We haven't cleared you to leave."

Gibbs stood up with Hunter in his arms. Kate followed him and Jeb stood up on the other side of the table. As they tried to leave the room one agent attempted to grab Hunter from Gibbs and the other attempted to take hold of Jeb.

Agent Carrins had made the move toward Hunter and Gibbs had immediately pulled his sidearm from the holster and aimed it at the man's head. Kate's hand instinctively went to her sidearm in her holster. Grant made the mistake of taking hold of Jeb's arm. The Agent flipped sideways almost immediately and crashed hard against the wall. Kate saw the blood escape from the Agent's nose and the sharp escape of pain the man made.

Jeb didn't even hesitate he continued walking out the door, leaving the man on his knees holding his nose. Carrins put his hands up in surrender and Gibbs backed his way out of the room after Kate had followed Jeb.

Jeb led the group out the front door in silence as Kate put her gun away. She was flat stunned at what had happened in the last half hour. Just as they got outside, Gibbs' cell phone started ringing. He shifted Hunter and flipped the phone open.

"Gibbs," he growled into the phone. "No, we're fine….No, won't be back today. Have Ducky do autopsy, Abby process evidence, and you find a suspect…I'll call later."

Kate listened to Gibbs and then he flipped the phone shut. She looked up at him and his face was a stone façade again. He pocketed his cell phone as they came up to the car. Jeb opened the back seat and Gibbs tucked Hunter into the seat while Jeb went around and got in on the other side. Kate stood at the passenger side of the car and watched. This was all so much for her to process. After Hunter was buckled in and settled Gibbs closed the door and walked around Kate. He stopped and looked up at her.

"What are you waiting for? Get in the car," he said quietly before continuing on his way to the driver seat. Jeb was already in the back seat. She climbed in and buckled in while Gibbs started the car and drove off, again at a frightening speed. Kate's knuckles on her right hand where white as she gripped the handle on the door.
