REMEMBER

"What?" Gibbs kept his anger in check. There was still a hint of it flaring in his voice. "Why did you do that?"

Tony tried to explain how he was approached by the NSA thing and how they were needed to look at the files on those FATO members and how he gave them the files to help get the case solved. Gibbs stood to his feet and left the room momentarily. He was royally pissed… Not at Tony but if the NSA were involved, Fornell would have told him that much considering what was going on. Whoever they were, they were not NSA. Gibbs came back into the room without the anger.

"How'd you know they were NSA?" Gibbs asked.

"They told me and showed me ID," Tony answered. Not that he knew what an NSA ID looked like but if he assumed that they looked pretty authentic and he had no reason to believe they were faked or did he? Was there something he missed?

"In the future… If anything like that happens you come straight to me. If you're confused about something like this then come straight to me," Gibbs told him.

"Yes Gibbs," Tony said to him

The Bullpen

There was hell to pay when Tony and Gibbs entered NCIS. Tobias Fornell was standing in the bullpen with three other agents. "Sorry Boss," McGee said and when Gibbs was about to say something, McGee continued. "We tried to explain everything but he wouldn't have a bar of it."

"What's going on?" Gibbs said to Fornell.

Fornell swung around to face Gibbs. "We're here to take Tony DiNozzo into custody. He's being charged with providing material support to terrorists," Fornell said as Tony was put into handcuffs much to the dismay of Gibbs.

"What the hell you think you're doing?" Gibbs asked as his team stepped in front of Fornell's team so they prevented their senior agent from going anywhere.

"Step out of the way Jethro," Fornell warned. "Or I'd be forced to arrest you all for obstruction."

"Tobias!" Gibbs shouted.

"We have terrorist to get and a job to do," Fornell said. "Get out of the way."

"Don't worry DiNozzo," Gibbs said to him as he was taken away. "We'll fix this," he added.

The floor was buzzing with whispers and low chatting as The A Team's senior field agent was led into the elevator in handcuffs. The FBI was not known to mess around but this situation would be made worse since Gibbs and Fornell rarely saw eye to eye. Now Tony was in the FBI's custody, there was going to be hell in the bullpen.

Gibbs sat down at the desk and stood up quickly. "Damn," he mentally kicked himself. He should have made Ziva accompany him when he left the building. 'What can possibly go wrong in the time it takes to walk around the block?' Tony had told him. Why hadn't his gut screamed at him then?

"I saw him outside the office," Conners told him. "Seemed perfectly fine to me, just a little vague," she said.

Gibbs couldn't see her. It was really driving nuts that the team next door seemed to be freely mixing with his. Agent Simons was going to be pissed at that fact that was for sure.

"Yeah," Gibbs rolled his eyes and sighed as he contemplated the next move. Sure he had a high respect for Fornell even if he was a fed but sometimes the guy was a bloody idiot at times. Surely he knew that Tony couldn't be held responsible for anything that happened after he was found.

"Where are you going Gibbs?" Ziva asked as he made his way to the elevator.

"Falls Church," Gibbs answered.

"You need us to come with?" McGee asked.

"I need you two to look through the surveillance and see if anyone interacted with," Gibbs said.

"You want us to question them?" Ziva asked, being hopeful at the thought of the opportunity of interrogating people.

The elevator doors closed on a Gibbs impatient glare which told Ziva that if she knew then why the hell ask?

"What's in Falls Church?" McGee asked.

"Belts the hell out of me," Ziva answered.

"Beats," McGee quickly corrected without looking but it was only half-assed correction. They made their way into Abby's lab to bring up all the footage from outside of the building the day that Tony had given the folder over.

"What's going on?" Abby asked. She'd only stepped out to have a needed caffeine induced bathroom break and now that it was time to return back to work she was shocked to find her precious lab hijacked by McGee and Ziva who were watching surveillance footage.

Ziva was eagerly telling McGee to zoom in or out as he frantically typed to tell the computer what she was telling him.

"What's going on?" Abby asked.

"The boss wants us to check out surveillance footage on outside of the building," McGee answered without looking away from the screen. They'd decided to do it in the privacy of the lab so nobody else would know what they were up to.

"And why would you be doing that?" Abby asked. "Don't forget the camera located just over there," she pointed to just out of view.

"I forgot about that one," McGee said. "Tony's been arrested." That comment brought on silence and he winced. That sounded very cold. "He handed over government files to a terrorist organization," he continued calmly. "They're charging him with providing material support to terrorism."

"You're kidding," Abby replied. "Tell me you're kidding McGee. Even with amnesia, Tony would never betray NCIS… He'll never betray Gibbs!"

"Tell Agent Fornell that," Ziva said. "That man is a pig."

"Fornell arrested Tony? Gibbs must be pissed as," Abby said. She knew that for some reason, Tobias Fornell had always hated Tony and he always was quick to blame Tony for anything. "Where's Gibbs?" Abby asked.

"We're not sure," McGee answered. "As soon as it happened he left to go to Falls Church."

"Why?" Abby asked.

"Gibbs was a little vague on that." Ziva answered.

"Man, this doesn't sound too good," Abby responded pulling up a chair. "What you looking for?" She asked.

"Anybody who'd met with Tony outside the building," Ziva answered. Each time somebody came close to Tony, McGee pressed a few keys to zoom into the picture and printed it out without looking so he could continue looking through. There had been several people who entered the radius around Tony that there could have had a slight interaction with him.

"I have their names," Ziva told McGee as she wrote down the names of the agents that could be identified.

"Let's start interviewing them," McGee and Ziva quickly left the lab and entered the elevator.

"Tell me how it turns out!" Abby shouted, but it was to no avail. Her Tony was in trouble, her Gibbs was out and about and Ziva and McGee were too busy to tell her everything. All this was going on while she was running element tests on material that had been recovered from a library crime scene ten years ago and it was BORING.

Of course it Tony was a very popular guy, it was more annoying now they were trying to find out what was going on. There was no attempt at deception by the people who were being interviewed. They were happy to share the conversations or lack thereof. That had only left three people unidentifiable. These three were clearly not under the employ of the government.

It was getting late and after they had put out a BOLO alert on a couple of unaccounted for cars. There was no word on that yet. "Wonder when Gibbs is coming back," McGee said.

"I do not know," Ziva said. She had wondered that herself but wasn't going to go around voicing her concern.

The elevator doors dinged. "Come right this way first," Gibbs said to a second man in the elevator.

"You have a new team?" The second man asked. "I never pegged you as a man who welcomed change," The man's voice said evenly.

"I didn't say I welcomed it," Gibbs stepped out of the elevator.

A/N: A semi-cliffhanger… Hey I wonder if anyone would like to guess who Gibbs has with him.
