"Hey, Abby. What are you doing?" McGee asked as he walked into the lab.

"Gibbs has me working on finding any info I can on Mikhail Yuri and Ryan Walker. I got some stuff from Kate earlier. She's still at my apartment."

McGee nodded. "How's she holding up?"

"She's taking it pretty hard. She's almost refusing to go see Tony and she's really freakin' out."

Again, McGee nodded. "What do you have so far?"

"Well, Yuri was big into selling military weapons to insurgents overseas. I contacted the director and asked him to help me convince the FBI director into giving me information about Ryan Walker in their protection services. After several persuasion techniques and threats, the FBI director gave in. Supposedly, during an operation, Yuri had threatened Ryan, telling him that he was going hunt down his family and kill them. Then, Yuri shot him, leaving Ryan for dead. Other NSA agents pulled Kate out and let her believe Ryan was dead. The FBI stepped in and placed him in Seattle as Michael Warner. He's been living there since. Until now. Two days ago, the FBI got word of Yuri's arrest in London. He's been on the Most Wanted List since he shot Ryan. The British authorities were going to hold him until Americans could arrive to extradite him to the States, but people working for him heard about it as well and helped him escape. So he was on the run!" Abby yelled dramatically, "Until the British killed him. There was a big gun fight! He's listed as one of the eleven dead."

"Wow," McGee said, "So…now what?"

"Now…" Abby said as she turned off her computer, "I go tell Gibbs and then I go home and tell Kate."

"That's not what I meant. Do you think Tony will take Kate back? Or will Kate go back to Ryan?"


Okay so I know it's really short and kind of a filler chapter. But I'm working on curing my writer's block and tossing around ideas on how to end this one. Suggestions are welcome. Excuse any mistakes, as this chapter isn't beta-ed.

Oh and reviews are wonderful...hint, hint...
