Chapter 5

Gibbs turned his back to his two agents and allowed his eyes to scope the area. His conflicting thoughts were giving him a migraine. Should I send her home. She needs to sleep and calm down. But she'll notice if I set people to watch her house. She won't argue not now but DiNozzo will want to do it. That'll be conflict of interest. Damn. I could just take her back to NCIS. Everyone there is trained with guns and self-defence. Heck. I'll just lock her in the gun locker.

McGee sat down on the van steps, moving the bag at his side enough that he could pull his laptop from the case. Working carefully, He used a screwdriver to pry off the casing of the phone, then removed the green and gold chip from inside. It took him a few minutes, but finally, he hooked it into the computer. Finally. We can find this bastard. His figures flew across the keyboard. Typing in command after command. Finally the computer started beeping at him. Untraceable. Nothings untraceable to you McGee. He could hear Gibbs and his demanding tone echoing inside his head. He tried again. RESTRICTED. McGee slammed his fist into the metallic floor of the van. Realising that wasn't such a good idea he took his fist in his hand painfully. I'll try again with Abby. Damn she doesn't know.

Gibbs saw McGee coming back from the van. The downcast look on his face told him all he needed to know.

'Sorry Boss.' He mumbled, preparing himself for the clip round the head. And sure enough it came.

'Never say your sorry McGee.' McGee's voice interrupted him.

'It's a sign of weakness. Got it boss.' Gibbs knelt down beside Kate and Tony.

'Kate. Can you remember who the police suspected. Anything.' Kate shook her head shakily.

'No Gibbs.'

'It's alright Kate. We'll find him.' Something clicked in Kate's head. She looked at Gibbs, then Tony and finally McGee.

'He's not going to get to me. Or any of you.' She pushed herself to her feet. The tears were still slowly falling. But she had something to fight for. I won't let them get hurt. I can't let them get hurt. She sat in the front seat of the van. And quietly listened to the soft sounds outside. It was then she noticed the beeping. The steady beep that she'd heard many a time on this job before. Oh Crap.

'BOMB!' She scrambled to the door. Gibbs was looking at her strangely. It was a few milliseconds before he finally clicked to what she'd said. He pulled Tony of the ground as Kate shoved the door open.

'Run.' Gibbs shouted waving his hand to signify a point. McGee was pulling Tony along who kept glancing over his shoulder. Kate was running just behind Gibbs her hair bobbing up and down on her head. When the van blew she was the closest to it.
