Chapter 8
Special Agent Gibbs unfolded his reading glasses and set them down on the desk next to him. He rubbed his tired, bloodshot eyes and flicked off the reading lamp next to him.
NCIS headquarters was unusually quiet, the bull- pen was empty and most other agents had headed off home for the night. McGee was down in Abby's lab desperately trying to trace the email that had sent Gibbs the pictures of their two captive friends.
Gibbs looked at the file next to him, it had taken him 2 hours to read the file on 'Operation Indigo'. It was a joint Mossad and NCIS operation which was very, as DiNozzo would say 'hush, hush'. As far as Gibbs could tell the only people who knew about it were Director David, Vance and SecNav.
The plan was to send Navy Seals and Mossad operatives into a Red Sea port which had been identified as an Hamas training ground and a Taliban recruitment zone. The mission would be completely off the record due to the fact the UN had forbidden any military operations in the area due to a failed Mossad operation years ago had left heavy civilian casualties. Mossad were under strict orders not to be operating there, probably why they had dragged the US Navy into help.
Gibbs groaned as he thought of all the complications that came with the folder that he had just read. Why would Vance risk his job on something like this?
Gibbs' train of thought was interrupted by the arrival of McGee.
"Boss?" He questioned, fearful of interrupting whatever Gibbs had been doing.
"What McGee?" Gibbs' voice was not angry, just tired and strained.
"You have received another email from Tony and Ziva's imprisoner…" McGee trailed off when he saw the look on his Boss' face. "I'll let you read it then." McGee spun on his heel and headed back towards Abby's lab.
Gibbs opened up his email account and double clicked on the unopened message. A new window opened up on his screen and his piercing blue eyes quickly scanned the short message.
I know you have the file, bring it to 1725 Desales Street Northwest at 0700 tomorrow, leave the file in the dark green wheelie bin and one of your agents will be returned to you, come alone. If I even slightly suspect you have brought back-up, both of your agents will be killed.
Gibbs shut down his computer and stared at his watch. It was 11:00 pm. Gibbs rubbed his temples, he had some serious thinking to do.
Okay so yeah I know how crap 'Operation Indigo' was but I can't think of stuff like that! So please update I promise the next chapter will be longer and better.
