Chapter four
NCIS
B&W-Three terrorists have a blindfold over a tied up Ziva and guns pointed at her on a video screen with Jen and Gibbs looking over.
Gibbs, McGee, DiNozzo, Sheppard, Fornell and Ducky all await the analysis on the severed finger. The results come up and Abby quickly grabs it from the printer and she seems relieved.
"It's NOT Ziva's!"
A comforting sigh overcomes the room.
"We need to find her Jethro." The director orders.
"I'm on it, Jen."
The others leave as DiNozzo asks, "What can we do Boss?"
"Find her!" he states.
Tony and McGee leave to find their fellow agent. Fornell then stops Gibbs, "Jethro…I think you should know…I worked with the dead Marine."
"What?"
"He was working on the case of the mole in Mossad. He was assigned to tail…Ari Haswari."
Gibbs now becomes incensed. He yells, "Why the hell didn't you tell me this before? If you knew who was behind this you could have stopped him from…"
Gibbs stops as he remembers talking to Kate and then she was shot and he and DiNozzo turn to find the shooter.
Fornell goes to leave but adds, "We'll keep you in the loop."
"You better." Gibbs responds.
Then he heads toward the directors office again when he is stopped. He is told to go to the situation room. He then runs toward the room and enters. The director is alone looking at the screen.
The screen shows Officer David tied up and blindfolded. She has three masked gunmen pointing automatic weapons at her head.
"What are your demands?" Jen asks.
"You know…what we want. We want the end of the invasion of our homeland. We want the invasion of our way of life. Our culture-"
"You culture is wrong." Gibbs chimes in.
"We are NOT wrong, Agent Gibbs. We have the right to do as we please. We have the right to express ourselves." The main terrorist concurs.
"By suicide bombings. By mass hysteria, by terror." Gibbs challenges.
"We want to compromise on the release of Officer David." Jen asks."
The main terrorist thinks and then suggests, "We then in return, want the murderer of our leader and brother Ari Haswari. You know who he is?"
Gibbs glances at the director and she then turns attention to the screen, "We don't know the name of the person you refer to."
"You Lie! Our intelligence reveals the name of the assassin is none other than a Leroy Jethro Gibbs."
Gibbs then confronts the leader, "You want me you'll get me. Just name a time and place."
"We'll transmit the location within the hour."
Gibbs then puts his hand on his sidearm and adds, "I won't be alone."
"We hope you won't be. I will give agents…DiNozzo and …uh…McGee a chance to beg for your life. We will take our revenge for our fallen brother. You will not-"
The director calls for the video to be stopped.
"What do you think you are doing, Jethro?"
"Getting answers, Jen. Don't you trust me?"
She doesn't respond. She calls for the video to be restored and finalizes, "We'll meet in one hour."
"One Hour. No less."
