Defending the Homeland Chapter 13, a jag fanfic

Chapter 13:

A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I really appreciate it.

When they were in position Gunny clicked his COMM unit twice. Jack got the signal and knew they were covered. He turned to AJ and the others and quipped, "Let's take out the trash."

AJ asked, "What's the plan?"

Jack replied, "I want You, Sturgis, Bud and Kate to work with the remaining security personnel to take out the tangos out here while me, Sarah, Fornell, Bishop, DiNozzo, McGee and Webb take out the ones inside."

The Former SEAL nodded as Jack and his team ran in a low crouch inside the bullet riddled building. They had just entered when 4 Somalis leaned over the railing and opened fire. Jack snapped his 416 up and killed one of the Somalis as did Mac and DiNozzo. He shot a glance at Bishop and saw that she looked genuinely terrified. He had the others go on ahead and once he was sure they were alone asked, "You ok kid?"

Bishop looked up into Jack's eyes and replied, " I'm just scared that's all."

Jack gave her a thin smile as he said, "Don't worry kid. Just remember your trainin and all the stuff me an Jethro taught ya."

She thanked him as they caught up with the rest of the team. DiNozzo asked, "What was that about?"

Jack growled, "Shut up DiNozzo. Take point."

Dinozzo nodded as he said, "On it GEN."

When their chopper touched down in the Helmand Province Harm and Tasha quickly jumped from the rotary aircraft and quickly ran into the CIA Compound. Harm led her to a tall well muscled man with close cropped blonde hair and green eyes. He said, "LT. Johnny Rathbone meet Agent Tasha Boudreaux."

LT. Rathbone said, "Nice to meet you ma'am. By any chance do you know GEN Boudreaux?"

She grinned as she shook the young SEAL LT's hand and said, "He's my dad."

LT. Rathbone returned the grin as he remarked, "For a green beanie your dad's a hell of a SPEC-OPS warrior and leader."

Then he quickly cut his eyes to Harm and said , "Sorry sir. I was outta line."

Harm chuckled as he said, "Not at all LT I think the same thing."

Then he sobered up and asked, "How is our guest?"

LT Rathbone chuckled as he said, "He put up quite a fight sir but we got him."

Tasha asked, "Where is he LT?""

LT. Rathbone replied, "This way; Ma'am Sir."

When Harm and Tasha walked into the interrogation room they saw a bound and hooded Dmitri Kirilenko. Harm thanked the SEAL LT then ordered him out of the room. Once he was gone took a seat as he watched Tasha circle Kirilenko like a jungle predator sizing up her next prey. Finally after several minutes she reached out and gave Kirilenko a resounding slap to the side of his head as she bellowed, "What is the second phase of Yasin's plan?"

Kirilenko cursed at her in Russian and gutter Arabic. She slapped him again; harder this time as she bellowed, "Tell me what I want to know or this will become very unpleasant for you."

Harm spoke up for the first time, "Mr. Kirilenko if you give us the information we need you will not be harmed. You have my word."

Kirilenko's reply was muffled by the black head bag so Tasha tore it off and bellowed, "What was that?"

Kirilenko stared at Harm as he spat, "Your word means nothing to me you Capitalist pig."

AJ and his squad had just destroyed a machine gun nest when he saw Sturgis go down. He snapped the 5.56 MM HK 416 up and killed the shooter. Then he sprinted to where Sturgis had fallen and quickly assessed his injuries. Thankfully Sturgis only had a nasty looking graze on his right hip and a very nasty graze on the right side of his head. Sturgis's eyes fluttered open as he groaned, "I'm alright sir."

AJ said as he checked the former Bubblehead for more injuries Good. Now quit laying down on the job."

This made Sturgis grin as he climbed to painfully to his feet and retrieved his 9MM M9 A1. AJ nodded as they regrouped with the rest of his team and the remaining security detachment.

Brumby couldn't believe it. The carefully thought out attack was failing miserably. He ducked into a stairwell and made a hasty call. Once the other line was picked he said, "Don't come in mate; the bloody savages are useless. We are losing. I'll try to get Boudreaux but If I get caught I swear they will get nothing out of me."

Lafayette said, "I know you will keep the faith brother. Just remember if you get the chance kill the infidel crusader Boudreaux."

Mic replied before he terminated connection, "I will brother."

He had been so wrapped up in his conversation that he failed to notice Jack and Mac had snuck up behind him. Jack growled as he leveled the barrel of his 416 at Mic's head, "You will tell us what you were talkin bout ya you Aussie fuck."

Brumby sneered, "I don't bloody think so you ponce."

Jack gave him a feral grin as he buttstroked him in the jaw, fracturing it. Mac glared at the Australian Naval CDR as she spat, "How could you do this to us Mic?"

Brumby was about to reply when four ISIS fighter attacked them. Jack and Mac both downed a tango with a well aimed three round burst. They were transitioning to the other two fighters when suddenly there was a horrendous explosion one floor above them. The shock wave killed one of the fighters immediately and knocked the other one unconscious. Unfortunately the concussion also knocked Jack and his team off their feet. Once they had regained their footing Jack barked, "DiNozzo take McGee and Bishop and go see what the hell just exploded."

DiNozzo nodded as the three agents rushed from the room.

Tasha still glared at Kirilenko and was about to ask another question when her cell rang. She led Harm out into the hall as she answered, "Boudreaux."

Her immediate supervisor; Agent Kurt Samuels said, "JAG's just been hit by unknown tangos."

Tasha felt as if she had just been punched in the gut as she tried to process the information. She asked weakly, "Were there any casualties?"

Harm stared at her with laser like intensity as he mouthed, "What's going on?"

She waved for him to be quiet as Kurt said, "Unknown. Sorry Tash."

She thanked him as she disconnected the call and tucked her phone away. Then without missing a beat she stormed back into the room and slammed a fist into Kirilenko's jaw as she bellowed, "WHO IS ATTACKING JAG HQ?"

Upon hearing this Harm surged forward and smashed Kirilenko in the mouth with a right hook as he seethed, "If my family is hurt in any way I'll kill you."

Kirilenko spat out a glob of blood as he said in a mangled voice; thanks to ho his broken jaw and mashed lips, "You get nothing from me."

A feral grin spread across Tasha's face as she drew her black .45 GLOCK 41 GEN5=4 and put a 115 gr JHP +P+ into his right knee as she repeated the question. Kirilenko sneered, "I was tortured by the Mujahideen in Afghanistan so do your worst."

Tasha had a cruel glint in her eyes as she said in a brittle voice, "I intend to."

Fornell glanced over at Jack as Webb roughly bound the two prisoners and asked, "What do you want to do with them GEN?"

Jack replied as he inserted a new mag into his 416, "Webb will watch them while we take out the rest o the dirt bags."

Webb's head whipped around as he growled, "I most certainly will not. I'm not a babysitter."

He glared daggers at Webb as he snarled in a low deadly voice, "You will do as you are told Mr. Webb. Am I clear."

Webb just nodded as he hefted his 9mm GLOCK 19 Gen 4 as he said in a low voice, "Crystal; GEN."

Jack nodded as he, Mac and Fornell went to join the three NCIS Agents.

Lafayette was beside himself with rage; he couldn't believe that the attack on the accursed kafir had been such an abysmal failure not only had they lost many of their brothers he had also failed in his quest for vengeance against the man that had brutally tortured and killed his brother. He swore in Arabic and French as his father walked into the room and asked, "What is wrong my son?"

Lafayette replied the attack has failed. Our mole has been discovered and the believers have been repelled and either killed or captured."

Yasin said, "Do not lose faith my son we will have our vengeance on Jack Boudreaux."

Lafayette nodded as field stripped his 9mm Walther P99 and cleaned it as he tried to come up with another plan to capture the Crusader that had tortured and killed his younger brother

When Jack, Mac and Fornell reached the three NCIS Agents they saw the torn mangled bodies of at least five people. Mac breathed, "What happened here?"

Bishop replied it appears as if a suicide bomber found a group of officers trying to hide and detonated his suicide vest, killing them all."

Jack nodded as he sniffed the air and said, "The explosive was TATP. I'd know that smell anywhere."

Fornell asked, "Wasn't there supposed to be a company of FAST Marines here to help us?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth a thunderous explosion of automatic weapons fire could be heard below and coming up the stairs. Finally after 15 minutes a company of Marines thundered up the stairs. The leader a tall heavily muscled man with close cropped blonde hair and pale blue eyes called out, "Everyone okay?"

Jack called out as the Marines entered the floor, "We're good. Thanks Cap'n."

The CPT walked up to Jack and saluted as he said, "CPT John Wallace sir. Sorry we're late."

Then his face broke out into a wide grin as he continued, "But it looks like you folks didn't need much help. As soon as we make sure all of these tangos are greased we'll attend to your wounded."

Jack nodded as he said, "We also have two prisoners. A hadji and an Aussie CDR. I don't want them treated at all. I want them left alone."

CPT Wallace nodded as he said, "Understood GEN."

And with that he walked away. No sooner had he left when AJ, Sturgis, Bud, Kate, Gibbs and Gunny filed in. Jack fixed the former SEAL with a look as he said, "You did good Navy SEAL."

AJ thanked him as Jack scrutinized the others and saw the dried blood on Sturgis's right thigh and the right side of his collar. He walked closer to get a closer look as he asked, "Ya okay Sturgis?"

The former Dolphin replied, "Five by five GEN."

Jack grunted as he said, "Go see the corpsman and get a new uniform."

When Sturgis went to protest Jack just fixed him with a steely-eyed glare as he said in a no nonsense voice, "Ya heard me bubblehead."

Sturgis grinned as he said, "Aye, aye sir."

As he walked off Jack's phone began to ring. He grabbed it and grinned when he saw it was his oldest daughter. He called Mac over as he answered the phone.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was stuck. Please tell me what y'all think. Suggestions or ideas are appreciated.
