Chapter 4
Gibbs was actually smiling openly at his team as he looked at them, all three of his agents were lying down on the gym floor breathing hard and sweaty.
"Don't tell me that you are tired?" He said in a smug voice.
"No more coffee for you!" Tony said as he pushed himself on one of his elbows. "You are like the Duracell bunny. Just keeps going and going and going!" Ziva and McGee nodded in agreement at Tony's words.
"You do know what the Duracell bunny is?" Tony asked in teasing voice as he looked up at his boss.
"Yes I do, DiNozzo! Keep up with the talking and I may think that you need an hour more of close combat training…"
"He's delirious, boss." McGee said as he and Ziva almost jumped Tony to keep him quiet. "Maybe he has been sweating too much…" Ziva said elbowing Tony in the ribs.
Gibbs nodded to himself and looked at his clock, they had been down here for almost two hours. As his agents fooled around on the floor, wrestling each other he could see that it was time to break it up as Tony unconsciously favoured his shoulder.
"Time for lunch!"
"Thank God!" McGee said as he stood up, Ziva and Tony right behind him.
"If you are ready in twenty minutes I'll buy lunch." Gibbs said and he could almost not keep himself to laugh out loud as the team made salutes, were on their way and out of his sight in about 15 seconds. He shook his head to himself as he made his way towards the changing room.
Even if Gibbs was the last one getting into the showers, he was the first one to be ready and waiting for the others in the bullpen. He looked down at his clock, it had only taken him seven minutes to shower and get dress but the others had 13 minutes left so he sat down behind his desk to busy himself.
"So were are we going, boss?" Tony asked as he sat down on Gibbs desk.
"Back to the gym if you don't take your ass of my desk, DiNozzo!"
"Sorry, boss."
"You can plant your ass on my desk anytime, Tony!" Abby said as she bounced out of the elevator, Ducky close behind her.
"Thank you Abby." Tony said smiling his big charming smile towards the labtech.
"Let's get going." Gibbs said and they all moved towards the elevator.
Marco and Emilio were sitting outside the NCIS- building watching the people going in and out. Vinnie walked up to them and handed each of them a cup of coffee.
"How long will we be here?" He asked the twins.
But before anyone of them could answer, Emilio nudged them to be quiet and discreetly he pointed at the main entrance.
Marco and Vinne watched as six people walked out of the building, Marco grabbed Emilio's arm as he saw the young man from his brothers cell phone photo.
As the young man smiled big towards one of the girls, who was looking like a goth, the twins looked at each other and read the other ones mind.
Vinnie just shook his head, even if Emilio was known for his luck to be at the right place at the right time, this was unbelievable. He looked as the six people made their way towards a restaurant nearby, trying to study them without showing it. The oldest man was dressed like an English man and was probably a doctor, not something he needed to worry about. The young girl that looked like a goth he dismissed also right away. There was another young man, looking like a geek but you could see, if you looked really closely that he had could do other things than sit behind the computer. Then there was a woman with dark curly hair, probably from the middle east, she had a self confident air around her and Vinnie knew that she was an professional agent of some sort from the way she kept looking around over her shoulder sometimes.
Then there was the young man, which was an older copy of Antonio DiNozzo and was certain that Emilio's luck had struck again. But as he started to smile, his smile froze as he looked at the man with the silver grey hair. That was a dangerous man, moving cat-like, he was scanning everything around him and Vinnie could bet his life on that this man didn't miss a thing. So when he saw the mans gaze moving towards him and the twins he tried to look like he was just scanning the crowd, looking for someone else.
"Let's go." Vinnie said in a low voice when Gibbs and his team walked into the restaurant.
"But that's him." Emilio said not wanting to leave, Marco nodded.
"I believe you but we have to be careful. Look at them he works with, I don't think that you want to mess with them…" Vinnie gathered up the twins and steered them towards their cars. "I'll set one of the guys to tail him, discreetly and by evening we will know where he lives."
Before Emilio and Marco could say anything, Vinnie shoved Emilio into a car and closed the door, the car drove off.
"You think it's him…" Marco said as they got into the car.
"Hmm..." Vinnie said, he leaned forward to one of the guys in the front seat and said something. The guy got out and walked towards the park bench. "It looked a lot like him anyway."
Gibbs was the last one to walk into the restaurant, the others had already sat down at a table, and he looked out thru the glass door.
"Trouble, Jethro?" Ducky asked behind him.
"I don't know." Gibbs said, he thought he had felt someone watch him but now when he looked he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. But as he looked out the front door a last time he saw a big man, herding two younger blonde men in front of him towards the parking lot. He shook his head as he walked to the table were his team were sitting, but he only half listened to their talk as he thoughts wandered.
