………..Tuesday the 21st of November 11.20 pm at NCIS…………
"Can we turn on the lights or should we use the flashlights?" McGee asked as soon as they had gone out from the elevator.
"Are we sure this place isn't bugged?" David asked.
"Tony has gone long lengths to make us believe he's a terrorist so I bet he has bugged this place too. What I also think is that my boss has done the same so we better hurry up." Gibbs told them. He turned on his flashlight and they quickly hurried to Abby's lab.
……………….
"So what's next?" David asked.
"In case of emergency I was told by Tony to get a package at a safety deposit box and I did it after I was let out. I guess what's in it is going to help us track them. We need to turn it on, take everything we need from Abby's lab, our desks and the weapon room." Gibbs ordered.
They tried to do everything as quickly as possible. What they hadn't expected was that two guards had been ordered to patrol NCIS tonight in case of a break in.
………..An hour later………..
Two men walked into Abby's lab because they saw the light was on.
"What are you doing here?" one of the men yelled at them. David quickly overpowered one of them and hit him on the head so he fell down unconscious. The other one took up his gun but Gibbs struggled with him and then hit him with the guy's own gun and handcuffed him before anything dangerous happened.
"Why did you do that?" McGee asked them.
"So you are terrorists!" the other guard said to them.
"Be quiet." David told him.
"McGee, are we finished soon?" Gibbs asked him.
"Soon…Why don't you take them away because they are disturbing me?" McGee asked. He wanted to focus really hard now. Lives were at stake.
"We can do that." Gibbs said.
"Thanks boss."
………..A half an hour later………..
The tree men stepped into a car. David had bought a car when he hid in a hotel. He couldn't use his own since he had disappeared. Gibbs and McGee couldn't use their own either because every police in the USA would be looking after them soon. They had stolen a lot from NCIS.
"So where are we going?" David asked.
"To Washington. I know a café which is open all day and all night and has computers. I can look there if there is a plane or a train leaving for Washington soon but it is in the middle of the night and with all these weapons, being seen on a public and secured place isn't a good idea." McGee answered. He felt proud over himself for doing all of this. This was the biggest operation he had been apart of and also the most dangerous. He knew he was now a fugitive together with two other fugitives looking for three fugitives who were with the most feared terrorists in the world.
"We'll drive then. I just hope we won't be too late." Gibbs told them. Then they drove off.
…………….7. 45 AM at NCIS…………
"We need to send out an APB for them. We also need to find out who the third man is. I can't believe all along it was the whole team who betrayed us. They know so much and we have never had such big traitors in our history." The director said while looking around the office. She had just been at Abby's lab and seen the mess there. The director knew it was from the struggle but it hurt so much inside of her knowing that someone she knew would do this.
The man next to her smiled inside. He was astonished no one had figured out yet he was the leak and that the whole team would die soon. He thought they were foolish to go try to save them. No one who was in this mess could be saved. He just hoped no one would find out he is apart of this.
………….In Washington at the same time………….
"What are going to do now? We're not far from them." David asked.
"You're good at military strategy. Any ideas?" Gibbs asked.
"Not yet. They are too many and we're just three. We need back-up." David said while looking at the building they were in. The ones they wanted to save were in there.
"We need to leave before they understand who we are. We've been here for five minutes." McGee warned them.
"Let's find a motel, get some sleep and food. If they go somewhere then we go after. As long as they are there they are safe and the public is safe." Gibbs said to them before pushing down the gas pedal.
……….In the building……….
"Abby and Kate you two will get the honours to take out the White House…Anthony you'll get the Pentagon. The rest of the teams have already been assigned to their targets. Team one will go with Abby and Kate and team two with Anthony. If you fail and die don't be sad because there are three other teams out there and I know if just one succeeds then everyone will be happy. We'll leave in just a few minutes." Their leader told them. Everyone got up from their seats but three remained seated.
"I love you both. I know you'll survive and the chance of it is bigger since you are together." Tony told Kate and Abby.
"Why are you talking like that?" Kate asked him.
"Because you're smart and know all about GM. You know the great masterminds. That's you two. My contact at home was Steven Masterson, the director's right hand man." Tony got up and hugged them both before he left the room. When Abby and Kate went out to the other room, team two had already left it together with Tony. They just hoped it wasn't the last time they saw each other.
"What was he talking about?" Abby wondered.
"I have no idea. Abby, where is your bag?" Kate asked worried.
"I left it in the other room. I better hurry before they notice." Abby said even more worried. Kate followed her.
"You know…I've only heard Tony talk about how important the bags are. It's peculiar." Kate said while starting to open her bag. She hadn't checked in since Tony and her packed it yesterday.
"Weapons, clothes and the toxic. Nothing unusual." Kate then said.
"We need to go now. Come on." One guy yelled at them.
……………In a big van………..
"Anthony…You're not doing the Pentagon job. In case something happens then I have to have someone as my hostage. You're going with me to New York. The whole team is in fact going with us." The leader told him.
Tony got worried because he knew now his chance of survival was nil. No plan of his had ever worked out and he didn't understand why he hoped it would this time.
………With Gibbs, McGee and David………..
"They are moving. They are behind us. We should slow down so we can find their car." McGee told them while watching his monitor. Gibbs did as he was told. Unfortunately a police car drove past them and Gibbs saw they looked funny at them.
"The police saw us. The security cameras must have filmed the car so they know it is us. We need to turn around so we can save them before we get arrested." Gibbs said in a strong and stressed voice. He quickly turned around the car and was headed towards Kate and Abby.
"We're near now. Try to slow down." McGee said to him.
"The cops are behind us." David warned. He took up some of the weapons and gave them to the others.
Gibbs drove slowly and then David spotted Abby and Kate in a car. When Abby saw David she took up her gun from her bag.
"What are you doing?" Kate said while trying to stop her. This was a bad moment to try to escape. She knew the other half of the team was in the car behind them.
The two men in front saw what they were doing. They picked up their guns. A red light came at the traffic stop so they had to stop their car. They turned around and now Abby and Kate were holding their guns towards them and the two men aimed their guns at them.
Shots were then fired.
…………….In the van ………
"Shots are fired. The police are here." Someone yelled through the radio.
"We were so careful. You double crossed me. You're going to die now." The leader said.
"I don't know what you're talking about. How could I have possibly contacted the police? I'm worth more to you alive then dead." Tony told them trying not to sound like a guy who pleaded for his life.
