Chapter Five
NCIS
B&W teaser-Gibbs is standing in a clearing with smoke around him and he looks shocked
Gibbs heads down and tell his team to load up.
"We are we going, Boss?" McGee asks.
"To find Ziva." He replies, as he gets his backup gun from hi side desk drawer.
"Where is she?" Tony asks with concern in his voice.
"You'll find out." He tells walking toward the elevator.
In the Government car they use to head to the location, the three agents discuss what they have to go on to solve this case.
"Why do you think the sniper used Mossad ammo?" McGee asks.
"I don't know. Why don't you asks them when we get there." Gibbs replies back.
"You don't think Ziva's involved?" McGee asks.
Tony gives him a smack on the head and says, "Don't even go there, Probie."
"DiNozzo's right. But he's also wrong. We don't know much about her. She could have been playing us all along."
"Well if she was playing us…we're walking into a trap."
"Maybe." As Gibbs looks at his rear-view mirror. He sees a car following as it has done since they left NCIS headquarters.
"Well if Ziva is involved, is it possible the Director knows."
Gibbs thinks for a minute and responds, "She wouldn't be that stupid to make the same mistake twice."
"What about Fornell. Why didn't he tell us about Ari's cell still being under investigation?" Tony asks.
Gibbs looks at the car following and responds, "Why don't you ask him. He's been tailing us since we left."
Tony looks in his side mirror and sees an unmarked car with government plates following closer now.
Gibbs suddenly pulls of the road and heads toward the crime scene. But when he is near the road he makes a quick turn and heads the opposite way. These move throw DiNozzo and McGee all over the car. The car following them stays right on their tail. Gibbs comes to a clearing and stop, nearly throwing DiNozzo through the windshield.
"We're here."
"Thank you Boss." Tony gets out, as does McGee. They see the person following exit the car.
"Gibbs." The agent says.
"Fornell. Why did you follow me.?"
"The director wanted me to keep you out of trouble; for as long as possible."
Gibbs smiles and then takes out a piece of paper. He turns to McGee who has a GPS locater.
"They're about 200 yards this way."
The three NCIS agents, Fornell and his partner head to the coordinates. They go about 70 yards and Gibbs tells McGee and Fornell's partner to circle around.
They trek through some trees and end up in a clearing. They see their fellow agent tied to a pole in the middle of the field. All of the grass is pushed down as if there have been quite a few people there recently. There is a masked man hiding behind Ziva. The agents stop at the edge of the field.
"We're here. So how do you want to play this?" Gibbs asks the masked terrorist.
"It's is simple. We want to know who killed out brother, our leader, my mentor. We want to know who killed Ari?"
"I don't know who killed him." Gibbs responds as DiNozzo looks at him, knowing his lie.
"We know it was you Special Agent Gibbs. We want to follow in the footsteps of our great leader."
"He may have been many things such as a terrorist, a murderer and a pain in my ass, but he was never a great leader."
The terrorist curses in Hebrew at Gibbs. Then he takes out a trigger device and shows the agents.
"If you won't tell me, then you'll join him, just like I will."
The terrorist pushes the button and is blown apart by a land mine on the ground.
The agents shield themselves as the debris fall down.
Gibbs looks around and sees more mines all over the field leading up to Ziva. The smoke blows toward him as he tries to come up with a plan.
