Chapter 2:

When he got to the Navy yard he showed his military ID and entered NCIS headquarters and headed for the squad room. He was almost there when suddenly he saw a beautiful statuesque woman with an olive complexion, a buxom figure, long black hair, smoldering dark brown eyes and full ruby red bee stung lips. He was about to go introduce when NCIS SSA Leroy Jethro Gibbs stepped in front of him and asked, "So I guess we're working together again huh Ranger?"

Kolt's lips twisted into a sneer as he said, "Well I have to come lend a hand; didn't want this investigation being run by a jarhead."

Gibbs chuckled as he said, "Your dad was a jarhead; shame you couldn't join the corps then you'd really know how to fight."

That comment caused Kolt to laugh outright as he asked, "Care to test out your assumption old man?"

Gibbs chuckled again as he led Kolt into the squad room. NCIS Director Jenny Sheppard saw her husband/ senior team leader lead the Delta Force sniper up to MTAC and go in. She followed them in as she gestured for Gibbs team to follow her.

Isaak Sidorov watched as his men loaded the crates of 7.62X39 AKM's and AK-108's into olive drab deuce and a half. He turned to his old friend Sergei Karaganov as he said, "Make sure that the accursed savages pay you in real US dollars not Afghan dinars."

The former Vympel operator smiled as said, "Do not trouble yourself Isaak as I have said Yusef is-"

He never got to finish because Michelle grabbed him and pressed a double-edged Fairbairn Sykes British Commando Dagger to his throat as Sidorov yelled, "DO NOT EVER PRESUME TO GIVE ME ORDERS. I DO NOT CARE HOW TRUST WORTHY THAT WORTHLESS SAVAGE IS. I WANT ACTUAL US DOLLARS THOSE ARE TOP QUALITY WEAPONS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

Karaganov nodded emphatically as he said, "I understand Isaak. I will not fail."

Sidorov glared at him as he said, "See that you don't."

And with Michelle released Karaganov who scurried into the truck and drove away. Once they were gone Sidorov turned to Michelle and said, "My beautiful black widow what would I do without you?"

Michelle replied flirtatiously as she cupped his cheek in her hand, "You would be utterly lost Isaak."

He chuckled as they climbed into a jet-black Lincoln Navigator and drove off.

After they were briefed in MTAC by Hetty and the CO of Kolt's ultra-secret black OPs unit Major General Samuel "Sammy" Bridges they went to see if they could find any leads on Sidorov or the nukes. Kolt and Gibbs were still in MTAC 2 hours later when Jenny entered with the woman Kolt had seen earlier. She said, "Kolt I'd like to introduce you to Nadia Bristow; she used to be with the Federal Intelligence Agency (Argentine Intelligence). Until last year at which time she went to CIA who in turn loaned her to us to help in our war with the Cartels. Kolt said, "Nice to meet you Miss Bristow."

She replied in a lilting voice, "Nice to meet you as well CSM."

He heard the traces of a British accent and looked at her questioningly. She giggled as she said, "My father was a major in the SAS. He met my mother during the Falkland's Conflict in 1982. I was born on March 15, 1983. I joined the British Army in 2001 and served with them until 2007 at which time I joined MI6 and stayed with them until 2011 when I joined Argentine Intelligence. Both MI6 and Federal Intelligence Agency have extensive files on you but they only go as far as 2013. Then there are only rumored sightings and sketchy Intel reports. What unit are you with now CSM?"

He replied as he dug out his can of Skoal and placed a pinch between his cheek and gum, "Need to know and you don't."

She was about to say something else when his cell began to beep. He grabbed it from his hip and gruffly barked, "Go for Blye."

Kensi said, "Kolt we're on final approach. We'll be coming in at Andrews AFB."

He replied, "I'm on my way sis."

And without saying another word he turned on his heel and left MTAC. Once he was gone Nadia asked, "What is his problem?"

Jenny replied as Gibbs left MTAC chuckling to himself, "Kolt is not the most...ah...trusting individual you will ever meet. It takes him quite some time to warm up to people but I'll tell you this once you gain his trust and friendship no better friend will you have."

Nadia nodded; for she had met many such people both in MI6 and Argentine Intelligence. She asked, "What can I do to aid in the investigation?"

Jenny gave her a maternal smile as she said, "Come with me."

When the Gulfstream G650 touched down Kensi looked out the window and saw her older-half-brother leaning against the black Ford Excursion. As she watched him she suddenly had very vivid memory of an 18-year-old Kolt leaning against a 1991 Harley-Davidson FXR as he spoke to their father. Then she remembered how he mounted up and rode away to join the Army. She was snapped out of her reverie as Deeks said, "hello earth to Kensalina let's go."

She punched him in the arm as she followed Sam, Granger and Callen. When she reached Kolt he scooped her up and twirled her around as he said, "Hey there little sister I missed you."

Kensi replied once he set her back on the ground, "I've missed you too Kolt. Thanks for agreeing to help us."

He replied, "Like I told you when my team saved your asses in Syria; I'll always be there to catch you when you fall."

Kensi vividly remembered when they went into Syria to capture Ahmed Han Asakeem; the chopper was shot down and they were trapped. But luckily Kolts team was in the area and they rescued her. She owed her life to her half-brother's cross training as a medic and his Combat EMS Medical Training. She also remembered that the first two faces she saw when she woke up were Deeks and his. She said, "Thanks again for saving my life."

He was about to respond when he spotted Granger. The OSP team tensed as the mercurial Delta sniper approached Granger. Kolt held out his hand as he said, "I just want to apologize for what happened between us 6 ½ years ago."

Granger shook his hand and said, "Don't worry about it."

Kolt nodded as they all climbed into the Excursion and went to the Navy Yard.

If anyone can tell me what tv show inspired Nadia Bristow they can decide how Kolt's team is made up and where they are based
