It was 12:15 when Gibbs arrived at Iwo Jima memorial. There was a bench so he sat and waited. 12:20. Gibbs stood up wondering where the guy was. He paced back and forth impatiently waiting for what seemed like forever. 12:29. Gibbs sat back down. Finally he saw a car pull up and a dark figure get out. The dark figure reached into the back seat and pull out Shannon and Kelly.
When the figure came up to Gibbs, Gibbs asked, "What is your name?"
"You can call me Pete," the man answered.
"OK… Pete. Give me my family."
Gibbs reached out but Pete pulled back.
"First, the money." Gibbs handed the money to Pete.
"Now then, spread you arms and legs."
Gibbs did so and Pete checked him. The only thing he found was Gibbs's fire arm.
"I said they would be free is you exchanged yourself with the cash."
Shannon looked at Gibbs in disbelief.
"Jethro. NO!"
"SHUT UP WOMAN!" Pete demanded at Shannon pulling her back by her hair.
"OK. OK. I will come. Just let them go!"
"You come here first,"
Gibbs did as he was ordered. Pete grabbed Gibbs by the collar. Pete let Shannon and Kelly go as Gibbs slipped Shannon a note not noticed by Pete.
"I love you!" This was the last thing Gibbs shouted before he was pushed into the car as he waved goodbye to his family for the last time… again.
