Sorry for not updating in like forever!


In the strongest voice Gibbs could muster he whispered "Where is she?"

"Miss Todd is at an undisclosed location and will be transported to NCIS headquarters in the morning. Madam Director you will have until then to inform all the relevant personnel of Special Agent Todd's return"

"Agent Baer we ask for your help and expertise in keeping Agent Todd out of harms way. You and your people will be most qualified to protect her during this operation."

"With all do respect to the secret service" Gibbs interrupted "Kate is my agent and my team will protect her".

"Agent Gibbs…"

"Don't Agent Gibbs me; this is not open for discussion"

"Very well then NCIS will handle protective custody while the FBI and Secret Service will handle and design the investigation into finding Haswari. We will schedule a briefing tomorrow evening at 1900. Agent Baer, Agent Fornell, Director Sheppard, please inform the relevant people in your agencies to be at the conference meeting room at the Norfolk Naval Base."

With that the three men turned and left the room, followed by Agent Baer, Agent Fornell and Director Sheppard. Gibbs sat back down at the desk and Ducky stood by the door starring at him.

"Jethro…"

"Jethro for heaven sakes say something"

"Ok then I'll talk. I know despite how much you want to deny it, when you thought Caitlin was dead a part of you was dead as well…you missed her…you cared for her deeply…and now…now your just confused. There are probably a million thoughts running through your mind that you're attempting to comprehend. You…"

"Ducky just stop!" Gibbs screamed "How…How could you keep something like that from me...All this time when I've been whishing Kate was still here and you knew. How could you not tell us? Not tell Tony, Not tell McGee or Abby….Not tell me" He whispered.
