"I can't believe Kate would do something like this. Didn't she think about how devastated her family would be?"
"Oh Jethro you can't honestly believe Kate would willingly agree to be placed in protection! She's far too independent for that."
"That didn't stop her."
"For goodness sake she didn't have a choice. Director Morrow gave her a direct order."
"Wait Tom knew." Gibbs exclaimed utterly frustrated.
"Of course he knew! And just like every…well almost every order you have received Caitlin followed it. But trust me when I say Jethro it was an extremely difficult task for her to accept. Once she regained consciousness the agents in charge left her with no choice. She had to play dead or Ari would have killed her."
"He wasn't after her! He wanted me dead."
"Perhaps but in order to get to you, even emotionally all he had to do was harm Kate." Ducky sighed trying to persuade Gibbs.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"You know exactly what I am talking about Jethro, I may be old but I'm not blind!"
Just as Gibbs was about to respond to Ducky's comment a rather impatient knock was heard from the door and without waiting for a reply Tony and McGee came bursting through.
"Gibbs the Director said there was something you needed to tell us? What's with all the Armani suits that just left? What was the meeting about?"
"Dinozzo stop asking questions and I'll explain…maybe I should go find Abby."
"Already here boss man" Abby exclaimed sliding past the threshold.
"What's up?"
"Ok there is some rather important information I need to share with you all. I really don't know where to start from so ill answer your soon to be questions first. No I'm not crazy, nor am I lying and I just found out now."
"Gibbs what in the world is going on" Tony asked extremely confused at his boss's behaviour.
After what seemed like an eternity to the three newest faces in the room Gibbs in a voice no stronger than a murmur whispered,
"Special Agent Todd is alive."
"What" "Gibbs" "Oh my Gosh" came the simultaneous cries.
"Listen all of you; I was just informed by some agents from witness protection. As far as I could tell none of the other agencies knew. No one except…"
"Me" Ducky interrupted.
"You knew and didn't tell us" Tony accused in an angry voice.
"Kate's Alive!" Abby cried, tears freely running down her face. She slid down the wall and wrapped her arms around her knees.
