Chapter Thirteen

Tony awoke and was surprised to find Aurora asleep beside him. That was a rarity. Usually she was already gone, or at the very least awake.

Nature called but instead he watched her for a moment, enjoying the novelty of seeing her sleep. All her daytime defences disappeared and she looked even younger then her years.

However nature started yelling loudly and he was forced to get up. He moved slowly, however Aurora was awake in an instant, gun in hand until she realised. 'Morning,' she put the gun down on the side table.

'Hey,' he smiled, leaning over and gave her a kiss. 'Morning,'

She smiled, laying back down on the bed as Tony disappeared into the bathroom.

He appeared a few moments later and sat down on the bed beside her. 'What say I make us some breakfast?' he suggested. 'You can grab a shower while I do that,'

Aurora nodded. 'Thanks,' she smiled at him before climbing out of bed and moving into the bathroom.

An hour later Aurora left, not saying where she was going and Tony knew better then to ask. He showered and changed quickly before he headed into work. He'd be early today and hopefully Gibbs wouldn't be able to read the "I got laid last night" look this morning.

Walking into NCIS, he found Gibbs already there, busy on the phone and he didn't even look up as Tony moved to his desk.

Cait appeared a few minutes later, muttering something about traffic.

Gibbs hung up the phone. 'Phone calls,' he announced, without looking up. When he didn't get a response, he looked up, finding Tony and Cait looking at him.

'We're listening,' Cait said. They almost learned not to answer being around Gibbs so much.

'Fax is coming through, all the calls O'Sullivan made and received in the 48 hours leading up to his death. 'Cait I want you to go through all of them see what we can get. One number might lead us to something.' he stood. 'I'm going to talk to some people on his old base, see who his friends were, if they know anything. We got so held up with Aurora yesterday, these tasks fell by the wayside.'

'What about me Boss?' Tony asked.

'You got held up by her all night and day,' Gibbs moved toward the elevator.

'I mean what do I do?' Tony asked, wanting to roll his eyes.

'Go down, see if Abby has anything for us. Same with Ducky. Then help Cait when you come back,' Gibbs said before the elevator door closed.

Tony headed downstairs and as soon as the automatic glass doors opened, he was assaulted by blaring music that seemed far too loud at any hour, let alone one this early.

Moving to the computer, he turned the music down, wondering where Abby was.

'Abby?' he called out.

'I'm here,' her voice came from under the desk, making Tony jump.

'What are you doing down there?' he looked down at her.

'I dropped a pen,' she stood. 'What brings you down here? Needed an excuse to see me?'

'Always,' Tony grinned. 'Got anything for me?'

'Depends,' Abby said. 'Maybe if you tell me whats going on with everyone,'

'How do you mean?' Tony feigned ignorance.

'Oh come on,' Abby told him. 'You know exactly. You getting forced on holidays, now you're back, Cait saying yesterday you're sleeping with some weirdo and Gibbs demanding he speak to her?'

'She's not a weirdo!' Tony said.

'I believe you,' Abby nodded. 'There is no such thing as weird. So...?'

'It's a long story,' Tony sighed.

'I have all day,' she smiled at him.

'Maybe later Abby, Gibbs wants me to stop by Duckys and then help Cait,' he said.

'Hmm alright but I'll hold you to that "later" later,' she smiled.

'Okay,' he nodded. 'So do you have anything for us?'

'Maybe,' she told him. 'We recovered some red liquid from his shoe.' she moved to her cupboard and took out a petri dish. 'At first I thought it was blood but I did a test on it and it's not,'

'So what is it?' Tony asked.

'Remnants of a berry,' she told him. 'It's called a Boysenberry, pretty common,'

'That doesn't give us much,' Tony smiled.

'Hey, your killer could have a berry fetish,' Abby grinned and Tony shook his head.

'Thanks Abs,' he said before he left the lab.

'Ah Tony, nice of you to come and visit,' Ducky looked up from the autopsy table.

Tony smiled. He could definitely live without coming down here too often. No matter how many autopsies he had attended, he still sometimes found them bothersome. 'Anything new?'

'The time of death would have been between 6am and 9am,' Ducky said. 'The body wasn't moved after the death or the blood would have pooled here,' he indicated the area above the hips.

'And it was the bullet that killed him?' Tony asked.

'Yes. There didn't appear to be any struggled, no bruising, marks on the body so I'd say whoever killed him, he knew and trusted them or they broke in and caught him by surprise,' Ducky told him.

Tony nodded. 'Alright, thanks Ducky,' he tried to get away before he started into one of his stories.

'You know, this reminds me of a case many years ago, long before your time Tony and….'

'I'd love to hear Ducky but Gibbs needed me back asap,' Tony called, already walking down the hall.

Ducky watched him go. 'Well Gerald, you'll find this interesting…'

Gerald silently cursed Tony as he was forced to listen to another one of Duckys endless tales.

'Any luck?' Tony asked as he wandered back into the bullpit.

'Not really,' Cait looked up. 'Most numbers were local, friends, his sister, local pizza place.'

'Nothing unusual?' Tony asked.

'No, 4 mobiles were called, 2 were Aurora. One was the day before he died and the morning he died. The call was made at 6am but it lasted 1 second so obviously they didn't talk,' Cait said.

'Maybe her phone was off, or out of range,' Tony said.

Cait nodded. 'Possible,'

'What were the other numbers?' Tony asked.

'I'm tracing the numbers now,' she told him.

Gibbs arrived back at the office a while later, seeing Cait and Tony weren't there. He glanced at his watch, seeing it was nearly one and decided they had probably gone to lunch.

He'd skip lunch today. He had coffee and he wanted to make a few phone calls, one specific one. He knew Aurora was here for a reason, she was hanging around for a reason and he wanted to know. If the FBI wanted information on this, what did they want and why have Aurora come down to get it?

Tony and Cait wandered into the office, just in time to see Gibbs slam the phone down. 'Uh oh, maybe he needs another coffee?' Cait whispered.

'I think it's more then coffee,' Tony whispered back as the two backed away, hoping they could get back in the elevator without Gibbs noticing them.

They were too late. 'DiNozzo!' Gibbs called.

'Uh oh,' Tony muttered. Had he somehow found out he was still seeing Aurora? 'Ahh yes Gibbs?'

'I just made a call to the FBI. Aurora isn't with them anymore. She hasn't been with them for 4 years!' Gibbs thundered.

'She isn't?' Tony feigned shock. Uh oh, had he found out who she worked for now?

'You didn't know?' Gibbs asked, watching the younger man closely.

'No,' Tony lied.

'Tony...' Gibbs asked, not sure if he believed him.

'It's true!' Tony protested his innocence.

'Why don't I believe you?'

"I don't know,' Tony looked Gibbs straight in the eyes. 'But it is one hundred percent, absolutely true that I didn't know. How could I? I haven't seen her since we all saw her at the abandoned house and NO she didn't tell me before then.'

Gibbs looked at him for a moment. 'I want to speak to her. Now! If she isn't with the FBI, she shouldn't even know about this case. I want to know what she's doing and who she is in with,' he growled. God only knew what Aurora was up to.

'Well I can't answer that boss,' Tony told him. 'Like I said I haven't seen her since yesterday and as if she's going to tell me anything.'

'I didn't say she had told you anything Tony I'm asking for the phone number.' he snapped his finger. 'Your cell phone Tony, her number. She said if I needed it I could call and I damn well need to call.'

Tony reluctantly moved toward his desk, grabbing a pen and post it and scribbled the number down on it, handing it to Gibbs. 'I can call if you want Boss,' Tony offered.

'I think I am capable of dialling a number without having my hand held DiNozzo,' Gibbs replied. 'Thank you,' he added before going to his desk and without another word dialling the number.

The phone rung and rung before it eventually rung out. 'Damn it!' Gibbs slammed down the phone. 'I need to speak to her. I don't know what her game is but if I can't contact her within the next 2 hours, I'm putting a warrant out for her,'

'You're what!' Tony and Cait said as one.

'Are you both deaf?' Gibbs looked up. 'I don't think I have a speech impediment and I was pretty clear in what I was saying.'

'You can't do that boss,' Tony shook his head. 'She hasn't done anything wrong. Not really.'

'Oh no,' Gibbs stood and walked over to Tony's desk. 'Just exactly what hasn't she done wrong DiNozzo?'

'Ahhh well she must have her reasons,' he held Gibbs hard gaze. 'And no don't go down that track again boss I don't know where she is, or who she's working for and I don't really think she'd trust me anymore anyway.'

'Well I don't trust her,' Gibbs said. 'It wouldn't surprise me if she killed O'Sullivan. God only knows what her call is in this but I want to know and I want to know as of yesterday,'

Tony sighed. 'Well what more can be done boss. She's probably long gone anyway.'

'I doubt that,' Gibbs shook his head. 'If Aurora was here for something, she won't leave until she gets it. She'll be around somewhere,' he looked at Tony. 'How did you meet Aurora anyway DiNozzo?' he asked. 'How well do you know her?'

How do you know her? Tony thought but didn't ask. 'I've known her since my Philidelphia PD days, it was a joint investigation where the bloody FBI came storming in, taking over and stepping on toes as they do. That was how we met and I suppose I couldn't call her a close friend or colleague I know enough about her to assure you that I'd trust her with my life,' he saw Cait pull a face. 'WHAT!' he said before turning back to Gibbs. 'I'd also confidently say that she didn't kill O'Sullivan.

'And you two were lovers,' Gibbs said. 'How long was that for? A night?'

'We were lovers for three years,' Tony said, angry at the way Gibbs made their relationship sound so cheap.'Don't look at me like that Caitlin, we were on again off again in that time and a lot of my Homicide colleagues said that I was sleeping with the enemy and I suppose you're both thinking the same thing but as I said I trust her completely. Okay, she was FBI and now we find out that she isn't but I can assure you boss the Aurora I knew, know, wouldn't cross to the dark side so to speak.'

'How long has it been since you last saw her, before now I mean?' Gibbs asked, surprised at Tony saying he had been in any sort of relationsip for longer then a weekend

Tony shrugged. 'I don't know, four years maybe.'

'Four years is a long time, things can happen, people change.'

'Not Aurora,' Tony shook his head. 'She wouldn't Boss, I know it,'

'Someone with her skill and experience, she'd make a fortune on the wrong side of the tracks,' Gibbs said seriously.

'I realise that but... '

'Tony,' Cait looked up with a frown on her face. 'How did Aurora get in contact with you. How did she know you'd left PD, that you now worked for NCIS? How did she make contact?'

'She just did,' Tony shrugged.

'I've got a fair idea how she did it,' Gibbs ran a hand over his face. 'She's got connections all over the place and ways and means of finding things out. But that is a good question Tony, how did she make contact and how did you two end up together that other night?'

'Hey that's personal,' Tony growled.

'Tony this woman could be dangerous so how did she re-establish contact with you and it's not really a request DiNozzo I expect a direct and honest answer.'

Tony took a deep breath. He knew he had to answer. 'She turned up on my doorstep,' Tony shrugged. 'The same day O'Sullivan was found,' Actually she broke in,but he wasn't going to add that.

'I sort of worked that one out DiNozzo but where did she restablish contact with you.' Gibbs shook his head

'That was it,' Tony told Gibbs. 'She just turned up, I invited her to stay for dinner and ..'

'No DiNozzo that is not it. Hang on let me guess,' Gibbs looked at the ceiling. 'She broke in, and put a gun to your head when you came home. That would be her style now wouldn't it.'

'That's rubbish boss,' Tony shook his head. 'Where would you get an idea like that?' How did Gibbs do that?

'Come on Tony, Aurora wouldn't knock on the door,' Gibbs shook his head.

'I'm telling you the truth Boss,' Tony lied. 'Besides what difference does it make?'

'Well I certainly wouldn't sleep with or be defending someone who broke into my home and held a gun to my head,' Cait had to have her say.

'She didn't do that,' Tony shook his head. 'God. '

'I bet she did,' Gibbs shook his head. 'Was that your usual ritual when you got together?' his words dripped sarcasm.

'Hey I'm not that hinky as Abby would put it,' Tony shook his head.

Gibbs shook his head. 'I don't know what is going on Tony but regardless of your past with her, Aurora is dangerous'.

'And you know this how boss? Come on you're telling me not to do this and to stay way from her but what makes you think she's so goddamn dangerous hmm? How do you know this? More to the point how do you know her. I mean we are just going around in circles here boss and if we have to work as a team we have to trust each other and you have to let us in on what is happening or what you know.'

'You don't want to know,' Gibbs said gruffly 'And you don't need to know.'

'But you expect me to share everything,' Tony growled. 'You want to know everything about Aurora and I and yet you aren't willing to share about why you hate Aurora so much,' he shook his head. 'Turn you down did she?' he muttered angrily.

'I beg your pardon DiNozzo,' Gibbs shot around and strode angrily over to Tony but the younger man wasn't backing down an inch.

'Well you've got a thing for redheads and...'

'Tony, stop,' Cait was concerned about what was going to happen, she'd never seen the two men squaring off like this

'No, let him finish,' Gibbs looked at him. 'Go on DiNozzo,'

'Well your evasive about why you hate her, wont give us a clear answer and it seems more personal then a professional problem,' Tony said. 'And you'd hardly tell everyone she turned you down,'

'Actually I knocked her back because I can see what she is and I don't let raging hormones that should be well under control this far past puberty get the better of my better judgement. In other words DiNozzo I think with my head and not my crotch,' Gibbs shook his head as he realised what he'd just said. He never lost control and he was suddenly acting very out of character.

Bastard, Tony wanted to growl but controlled himself. 'What is your problem with Aurora? If you don't want to give details fine but what is your problem?' he asked angrily. He didn't know if Gibbs was being honest or not. Aurora had come onto Gibbs?

'My problem DiNozzo is that because of a botched FBI operation that she was a major part of, the lead on to be more precise a good friend of mine died and God help me while there are times that I could kill you myself DiNozzo I'm not willing to stand by and watch while she gets you killed. You're one of my people and I'm not going to let that happen no matter what,'

'What?' Tony asked. 'Jesus Gibbs, I'm sure she didn't get your friend killed on purpose! It would have been an accident and she isn't going to get me killed,'

'You just don't get it do you Tony,' Gibbs rubbed his forehead. ''He just doesn't get it Cait,' Gibbs turned to walk towards the elevators. 'I need coffee.'

'No I don't,' Tony growled. 'And how can I when I don't know the circumstances? Unless Aurora killed your friend personally, it probably wasn't her fault,'

'She had him wrapped around her little finger too Tony but I'm never going to make you see the truth so I'm not even going to try.'

'Too?' Tony asked. 'She was... involved with whoever got killed?

'She was coming onto him pretty strong DiNozzo, especially after I wouldn't co-operate and no when I said knocked her back it wasn't in the context that you are thinking,'

'Then how did you mean knocked her back?' Tony asked.

'It wasn't sexual DiNozzo it would have compromised NCIS operation and she knew it and she tried to convince me to see things her way to do things that would benefit her and the FBI and I wouldn't play and so she got sexual with Tim Baxter, he was a good man and he was my friend,' Gibbs paused. 'Same as you are Tony and I don't want to lose another friend because of this woman. Now I'm sorry but that's just the way it is.

'Aurora flirts with everyone,' Tony shrugged. 'There isn't even anything sexual about it. She knows it's one way of manipulating a situation to get what she or her team want,' he shrugged. He often flirted or turned on the charm to help in an investigation. 'Besides, she wasn't asking you to do anything illegal was she?'

'She was asking me to seriously compromise this unit Tony, that is pretty illegal to me.'

'By sleeping with her?' Tony asked with a grin.

'Grow up DiNozzo and listen,' Gibbs snapped. 'Like I said I need a coffee,' he punched the elevator button, the doors opening and he stepped inside the doors closing between him and his agents

Tony sighed and shook his head, dropping into his chair. He had to try and contact Aurora. She couldn't afford to have a warrant out for her.

'Tony,' Cait walked over and sat on the edge of his desk. 'Don't throw your career away over this okay?'

'Over what?' Tony looked up at her.

'Over Aurora, over this whole goddamn mess.'

'She's innocent Cait, she wouldn't do this,' Tony said. 'I know her. Better then probably anyone else,'

'Tony she could have changed, she isn't working for the FBI any longer so who knows which organisation she's involved with and wake up for goodness sake in this day of terrorism we can't be sure... '

'She's not a terrorist Cait,' Tony rolled his eyes

'I didn't say she was!' Cait shook her head. 'But people change Tony and four years is a long time. Why is she here if she isn't FBI? Why is she being so difficult and evasive? Meeting us at abandoned places? Why did she break into your place and put a gun to your head for your reunion?'

'Who says she did that?' Tony shook his head.

'Come on Tony, you're talking to me here. I'm your friend! I just don't want to see you hurt,' Cait told him.

'I'm not going to get hurt Cait,' he rubbed his hand over his face.

'This woman has already caused you problems Tony,' Cait said. 'Just try and think about it objectively for a few minutes,'

Tony didn't reply just stared at his computer. 'How does Gibbs know these things?' he muttered almost as if he was no longer aware that Cait was there.

'Psychic,' Cait sent him a small smile. 'You just admitted that Gibbs was right about your reunion. For Godsakes Tony she could have blown your head off your shoulder if she hadn't liked the reception she got. You do realise that don't you?'

'She wouldn't have shot me,' Tony rolled his eyes. 'She never has,'

'Hey it only takes that one time Tony.'

'She wouldn't!' Tony said insistently. 'She's precautious, it's how she stays alive,'

'And how other people end up dead,' Cait said simply. 'I don't want to argue with you Tony but I'm scared for you.'

'Don't be,' Tony shook his head.

Cait sighed. 'How do we know that isn't what happened to O'Sullivan?' Cait asked. 'She went to give him a greeting and surprised him?'

'Damn it she didn't kill him,' he raked a hand through his hair. 'Why won't anyone understand that?'

Just then his phone rung and he answered it. 'DiNozzo,'

'Tony, what does Gibbs want?' Aurora asked him.

'Christ Almighty, where are you?' he coudn't help himself

'It doesn't matter,' she told him. 'What does the grouch want?'

'He wants a face to face or an arrest warrant is issued for you. He wants to know who you're now working for and he's determined to get the answer before you can get me killed. His words not mine,'

There was a brief pause. 'Where is he?' she asked him.

'I don't know. Try Starbucks or Krispy Kreme he went for coffee.'

'Okay,' she nodded. 'Thanks Tony,'

'Yeah,' he said simply.

Aurora was about to hang up but paused. 'Whats up?' she asked him. She had known him long enough to pick up if something was wrong.

'Nothing is wrong Aurora,' he saw Cait cast him a glance. 'Just go and find Gibbs and clear the air on this one okay.'

'Okay,' she said. She knew something was up but wouldn't push it. 'Bye,'

'Bye,' he said before disconnecting the call.

'You knew!' Cait said. 'Gibbs is going to kill you,'

'Knew what Cait?' Tony asked inocently.

'She wasn't FBI! You didn't even ask her,' Cait said.

'Not my business and I didn't know anything Cait. I'm telling her to clearthe air with Gibbs not me. She wouldn't tell me anyway.'

Cait shook her head. 'Just be careful Tony,' she touched his hand before she moved to her desk.

'I always am,' he said staring at the phone in his hand.

'Not,' Cait shook her head clearly concerned about her colleague.

'Can I get a strong cappuccino to take away?' Gibbs asked as he finallymade itto the front of the line at Starbucks.

'Make it two please,' a female voice said beside him. 'And a chocolate muffin too,'

Gibbs looked over his shoulder. 'How did you find me?' he asked Aurora.

'You know me,' she smiled.

'Unfortunately yes,' came the rough reply

'You're the one who wants to talk,' Aurora said. 'So we'll grab the coffee and talk or I'll go if you want,'

'Yes I want to talk and I want answers and I want you to stay away from DiNozzo,' he collected and paid for the coffees handing her one cup and her muffin.

'The talk I can have with you, answers depend on the questions and I'm not discusing Tony with you,' she said as they left the shop.

Gibbs scowled at her. 'Aurora..' he said.

'You don't intimidate me Gibbs, I've dealt with much scarier arseholes then you,' she said as she moved them into a deserted alleyway behind Starbucks. The street was too open and here her back was against the wall, meaning no one could sneak up behind her. 'Now what do you want to ask me?'

'You're not working for the FBI so who the hell are you working for? I made a few phone calls and found out you were no longer with the bureau so don't try and lie to me.'

'I never said I was with the FBI Gibbs,' Aurora told him. 'You just assumed I still was.'

'Damn you Aurora,' Gibbs growled. 'Who are you with?'

'Couldn't find that out already?' she asked him.

'No but I'm working on it.'

'Then why do you need me?' Aurora asked him.

'Because I don't want to have to bury Tony DiNozzo like I did Tim Baxter. I want to know what I'm dealing with, what my team is dealing with and which organisation you are now working for.'

'It wasn't my fault what happened to Tim,' Aurora told him softly. She had never meant for anyone to get hurt.

'He was smitten with you, he wanted to protect you and,' Gibbs shook his head. 'I just don't want to have to bury another good man.'

'It still wasn't my fault,' Aurora growled. 'How the hell was I to know he was going to push me out of the way? They were coming after me and I was the one who told you, Baxter and Ryan, my partner at the time, to back off,'

'Well what was he going to do, let you get shot? Damn it Aurora, Tony would do the exact same thing for you and I don't want him getting in over his head on this one. We need to know what we are dealing with,'

'Exactly what I've told you,' Aurora said.

'You have told us nothing,' Gibbs was fuming.

'I've told you what I know,' she said.

'No you haven't told me everything,' Gibbs strode past her.

'What do you want from me Gibbs?' Aurora asked.

'I want to know who you are working for, why you got into contact with Special Agent DiNozzo and what exactly is going on with O'Sullivan,'

'Fine,' Aurora growled. Her Boss had given her permision to tell Gibbs if she needed to. Telling Gibbs might get him off her back for awhile. 'Alright, I'll tell you,' Some of it she thought. He was going to cause trouble and if he put out a warrant for her, all hell would break loose. She couldn't afford to have her photo patched around the country.

'Okay I'm listening.'

'I left the FBI four years ago,' she lowered her voice to a hush and he had to strain to hear her. 'I got a transfer to a better position. With Omega,'

'Hmm,' he nodded and sipped his coffee. 'Impressive,' he looked thoughtful. 'So how does your organisation become involved with an Naval officer who ends up getting himself killed and therefore ends up involving my team? Also what on earth could a lowly, well compared to you lowly, Special Agent, ex homicide officer be able to provide you with if it wasn't inside information into the investigation,'

'We have a leak,' Aurora said. 'O'Sullivan had given us information in the past and he had some information about our snitch. He said he would only speak to me and to tell no one else I was coming, except my direct superior, who O'Sullivan contacted as well,'

'So how do you think he came by this information and how was he recruited to your organisation?'

'I knew O'Sullian when I was still FBI,' she told him. 'As for how he cameup with the information, I don't know. I asked once and he told me that he couln't tell me. His information always checked out so I never pushed the issue. He was a first class source. He should have been a Special Agent somewhere, he had top contacts,'

Gibbs nodded, 'Well he wasn't careful enough was he?' he finshed his coffee and scrunched up the cup. 'So why did you contact DiNozzo aside from the fact you wanted someone on the inside you could trust, you wanted to relay information through him to me is my take on this but now you can tell me directly,'

'Because I missed him,' she admitted honestly and then regretted it. 'I don't need DiNozzo to get or give information Gibbs,'

'Just so long as you're not using him,' Gibbs replied. 'So what is your organisations next move on this?'

'Nothing right now. I'm hanging around to see what you guys pull up,' she said. 'We want his killer as much as you, it might lead us to our snitch,'

Gibbs nodded. 'Letting us do all the hard work hey?' he allowed a small smile to touch the corner of his lips but it was gone as quickly as it came.

'No, I'm just staying in the background,' Aurora said. 'My Boss doesn' want Omegas name anywhere near this, so no informtion ca possibly get leaked out. We want out snitch,'

'Alright but I'll need to be able to keep in contact with you. Where will you be based for contact?'

'My Boss doesn't want Omegas name anywhere near this, in case the information gets filtered to the wrong person,' she said. 'You have my mobile,'

'DiNozzo has your mobile,' Gibbs told her. 'I'd like it was well please.'

She took his mobile and put the number in it. 'It's under "Jason",' she handed it back.

Gibbs nodded. 'You got somewhere safe to stay?'

'Why Gibbs are you worried about me?' she smiled at him

'Just answer the question Aurora.'

'You offering a bed?' she grinned at him. She enjoyed teasing him.

'Now why would you think that. I'm just asking if you are somewhere secure.'

'I'll be fine,' she nodded to him. 'Thank you,'

'Yeah well just don't get DiNozzo killed , they could try to get to you through him if you know what I mean and if that happened I would NOT be a very happy camper Understood?'

'Trust me Gibbs, neither would I,' she told him.

'Good I'm glad we understand each other,' Gibbs replied as he started to walk away from her and he backtracked. 'Oh by the way did you tell DiNozzo about Omega?'

'No,' she lied. 'He just assumed I was still FBI and I didn't correct him,'

Gibbs simply nodded, not sure if he believed her.'I'll be in touch,' was all he said.

Aurora nodded, waiting for him to leave and gave him several minutes before she took off as well.
