AN: Sorry that it has taken so long for an update. I actually have several writing projects going right now, along with finals, which I am almost done with YAY. Anyway here is Chapter 2, and hopefully I will update Chapter 3 later this week. Thanks for the patience. As always reviews are welcomed.

Chapter 2

"You wouldn't have liked dealing with a hysterical woman. You were never good with those." Alex continued calmly. "Jethro I might have remarried but I have never loved anyone as much as Frank."

They walked in silence back to the elevator, allowing Abby to work as she does best, alone. Once inside Gibbs didn't speak until they reached the bullpen, then only too Tony and Ziva.

"Open a case file, the shooting death of NIS agent Frank Harrod." He said looking at Tony.

The team jumped into action. "NIS agent Frank Harrod, he was the man who was supposed to protect your family." Ziva said.

"Yeah, Ziva I want you to accompany Mrs. Jamison home, she is going to get some things and her husband and then take them to a safe house until we get this sorted out."

The woman scowled at Gibbs but she didn't say a word.

"Boss, what is going on?" Tony asked when Ziva and the woman left the bull pen.

"Someone wants us to believe that Shannon, Kelly, and her Special Agent Harrod are all still alive." Gibbs, turned eyeing his senior field agent. "I have to go talk to Vance."

"Of course boss, McGee and I will get started on this."

Gibbs left, to go find Vance, he had a pretty good idea who was behind all this. Rule #40, if it seems like someone is out to get you they probably are.

The agreement after Alejandro Rivera was sent back to Mexico to face charges with the Mexican Government was that he wouldn't find his way out of the dark hole they put him in. Now though it seemed like him or someone working with him might be behind the pictures that Alex Jamison had received.

Gibbs walked into the office without knocking, Vance was on the phone with his back turned toward the door. He made a slight apology for the interruption and Gibbs was happy to find that he had interrupted a call to the wife and not to Ziva's father.

"What can I do for you Agent Gibbs?" Vance asked, the annoyance clear in his voice.

"Alejandro Rivera" Gibbs said.

"As far as I've been told still sitting in Prison in Mexico waiting for his trial," Vance was concerned now.

"Someone has been sending doctored photographs to the wife of the Special Agent who was charged with protecting Shannon and Kelly. Photographs made to look like they are still alive."

"You suspect Mr. Rivera."

"Who else has an agenda?"

"Well, Agent Gibbs it's not like Mr. Rivera is the only person you have ever pissed off. I will contact the federales though and verify that he is still in prison. Is Abby looking at the photographs?"

"Yes Director and I've assigned Ziva protection duty for the Agents wife and family"

"Is there anything else you need from me?"

"Eli David."

"I don't know what he could get out of this."

"There are very few people who know about Shannon and Kelly and who would have the resources to fake these types of photos; and as you've mentioned I've pissed him off."

"I'll put some feelers out there. I wouldn't recommend letting Ziva know you suspect her father is behind this."

"You think Leon," Gibbs remarked before leaving the office to go check on how his team was doing.

"Your husband was killed trying to protect Gibbs family." Ziva stated later in the car as they drove toward Alex Jamison's residence.

"Yeah, Frank was a good man." Alex said, not wanting to go into too much detail.

"You saw his body? Before it was buried?" Ziva asked.

"No. I was overseas when it happened, my husband's family wanted to do a closed casket. They couldn't stand the idea of looking at him."

"Is there any chance it wasn't him in that casket?" Ziva asked.

The other woman's lips got drawn tight. She was angry, Ziva could tell this, but still it begged the question. Maybe the pictures weren't fakes.

"Frank wouldn't have faked his own death. He loved me very much, we fought as all couples do, but he wouldn't have faked his own death and left with another Man's wife and child. Not to mention Jethro's wife. I never met the woman but I saw him after she died, and I know that no woman is going to do that too a man."
