A/n: Thankyou for all the reviews and I wrote this one out right after I posted the last chapter! Hot off the press:P Enjoy!

THE BULLPEN 1646

Kate quickly exited from the lift as the automatic doors opened. She soon spotted Tony at his desk mischievously working on his computer. Kate knew something big was up and didn't want to mess around with Tony… however since he was so involved in his work, she just couldn't resist to have a peek.

Kate slowed her pace as she passed the infamous 'windows that won't open' and crouched just behind the cubical wall of Tony's desk opposite 'the windows.' She could hear Tony muttering as he read whatever was on his screen as she devised her plan. Hesitating for just a moment, Kate leaped up in an effort to catch Tony in some of his usual misuse of office time. However, her plan did not go as she had thought as McGee got caught in the cross fire… So in the same instant as she implemented her attack McGee had unfortunately stood up after fixing a bug on the ISP connection.

They both received such a shock that McGee tripped on his repair kit…landing in the lap of Tony, whilst Kate went stumbling back into Abby.

"Whoa girl… where are you flying off to?" Abby said, slightly taken back by Kate's sudden crash landing into her.

"I was just trying to see if Tony was getting any work done!" She recovered and looked over only to be thankfully relieved that there was something more embarrassing to look at than her.

So with all surrounding attention turned to Tony and McGee, both Kate and Abby now had large, all teeth-bearing, grins.

Kate was the first to speak and said, "Got that name yet Tony?…"

"…or have you found something more attractive to take up your time?" Abby chimed.

In the most ungracious way two guy could ever untangle themselves… it was purely classic in the case of Tony and McGee… rather Mc-ony? Pushing, shoving, untangling of cords, a few incoherent coughs and murmurs as the two gathered themselves together. Standing side by side they each dared not to look at each other after the humiliating encounter, which ended by McGee stuttering some excuse about returning some equipment back to the lab. However Kate had other ideas.

"Wait McGee…you have to hear this as well" Kate said and walked over to her desk to gather some file notes. She was now getting into a serious mode.

She looked over to Tony, "So do you have the name… or not?" she questioned, assuming the latter.

"Ah…Miss of-little-faith" Tony protested, however glad that the former events were not mentioned, as he ripped a freshly printed document from the printer on his desk. "…our Jane Doe is defiantly a local from the Philippians, and I've checked with our local contact, Officer Karvan, and her name is confirmed as Kristy Mai…" He continued to speak as he read over the printed document, "…she's 25, with no prior records there or here, we're just waiting for a fax of the next known next of kin from their database." Tony finished confidently andsat down on the edge of his desk

"So she could have just been the courier and I would defiantly say that it would have to be someone on this side that had big enough connections and influence to keep this network tight and under wraps." Kate thought out loud.

"It's something big, 'cause Gibbs went all hush-y on some of the results I told him back in my lab." Abby agreed.

"I'll call the surveillance team to tell to bring in Lt. Robertson ASAP. We…" Kate said, indicating to Tony, McGee and herself, "…are going to search for evidence at his apartment"

Tony nodded in agreement, however he suddenly paused in amusement,"Hey Kate.." he began, "I also just got a call from the dock where our shipping container full of evidence is being 'voluntarily' guarded by one Officer Tallis..."

"Yeah, and…?"

"Well… he's been out there for nearly a day now and there have been reports of frostbite." He paused, thinking for a second, "…Gibbs got him out there didn't he?" Tony grinned and continued, "What did he do? Was he one of those annoying LEOs that try's to suck up all the time?"

Kate stopped and looked up and thought for a second before answering, " Well, it actually …came down between you and him. " Kate smiled, giving him a nudge as she rounded out from behind her desk, "So unfortunately you're antics weren't quite up to scratch to win this one out." She concluded with just a hint of sarcasm,

Tony just studied her answer for one confused second before quickly realizing his good fortune and was now obviously being bated by Kate.

He sighed in defeat before one last look over his desk for case notes or information.

Tony paused before looking up again, "I swore I'd never use maths again to my eighth grade teacher."

"Too much hard work for you Tony, huh?" grinned Kate.

"It's the numbers…they're too big"

"Not like everything else, I see!" Kate shot.

"Heeyyy" Tony protested looking for the source of her accusation…trying desperately not to think of the obvious.

After a few seconds, Kate relieved his obvious fretting, "…you're completed paperwork." She sighed, shaking her head with a slight grin.

He looked at her in a dead stare, which cut to the usual playful grin, and then gave up and joined her out to the car park with McGee.

COMMUNICATIONS CENTRE 1645

Gibbs had called Director Morrow again on his mobile as soon as he had left Abby's lab and agreed to meet in the communications center for a private meeting. Also in the possible case of informing, or regretfully, involving other agencies.

Morrow had arrived there earlier and had persuaded all other personal out of the center so that he could be totally sure that their conversation would defiantly remain strictly private. No one but the highest officials in the NCIS organization and the most trusted and senior members were privy to this type of information.

Gibbs walked up to Morrow who was standing by one of the control panels.

"Is the room secure?" Gibbs began.

"Yes. It's been cleared and all recording materials have been disabled..." Answered Morrow, "…Now explain what you have found out."

Gibbs gave him the short version, "A body was found at a docking port at Quantico with what we thought was part of a simple drug smuggling gone wrong. However, on examination of the body and materials from inside the shipping container, in which the body was found, we found some very unusual trace elements."

Gibbs eyed Morrow before revealing this part of the investigation, he wasn't very comfortable in the consequences or what this meant to the size of the case, however it had to be dealt with, "We found refined explosive powder and specifically uncut diamonds, which as you know is used for trade and in the many networks of Alqaeda terrorist organizations."

There was silence between them as Morrow contemplated the report from Gibbs. He then said, "We should keep this orange alert to ourselves, as we don't want to alert too many people about the possibility of a planned attack by Alqaeda terrorists. We should get someone in undercover just to determine out any definite movement."

"Do we have anyone with those sorts of connections?" Questioned Gibbs.

TBC…..

A/n: I know !OMG… anyone who knows where this is going… kudos to you! I just had the idea spark after I began to write Morrows reply to Gibbs….! grins I AM GOING TO MAKE THIS SOOOO INTERESTING! The more luvly shipper stuff is coming soon! I just didn't know how complex and all the case file stuff was going to be (and of course I wanted to make it all interesting, not just fluff!) I had thought that the entire story was just going to be 6 parts…. But I will just let it goes where it goes! So enjoy:P
