Chapter 8:
By the time they got to the compound the two NCIS teams and COL Haskins were already there. Kolt asked, "What do we know?"
When Deeks went to repeat what Kensi had told him Kolt shot the detective a look as he said, "Kens already told me that bud. Tell me something I don't know."
LT Ian Porter; Intel Officer for The Shadow Raiders said, "As far as we've been able to piece together Sidorov sold one of the nukes to the Los Zetas. We think they used it on the Sina Loa Cartel or quite possibly the Knights Templar Cartel."
Kolt spoke up, "Both those Cartels plus the Gulf Cartel and a few others are in war with the Zetas."
Torres said, "I have some contacts I could check with them."
Kolt nodded as he said, "Okay do that."
Then he leveled his gaze at the rest of them and said, McGee; I've had your wife brought here from DOD I want y'all to work with the wonder twins (Eric and Nell) and see if you can't hack into GRU's internal files and get me everything you can on the men in Sidorov's unit."
McGee nodded as he rushed into server room and began working.
Callen asked, "You think the Kremlin is really supporting Sidorov?"
Kolt's lips twisted into a smirk as he asked sarcastically, "Don't you?"
Callen said, "I have my suspicions but we can't prove it."
Deeks asked, "Where could we get proof?"
Kolt said, "The Russian Embassy. We snatch their defense attaché or better yet their ambassador."
Everybody but his team, Nora, Haskins and Kensi just stared goggle-eyed at him for several minutes then Sam, Callen and Deeks started to chuckle. Torres asked, "I don't see anything funny about what he suggested."
Sam sobered up and said, "I forgot you've never operated with Kolt. Thing to remember is that he's just this side of batshit insane."
Callen added, "But he gets results."
Deeks said, "And he's almost as good as me at UC work."
Kensi shot a sidelong glance at her fiancé as she said, "Hate to break it to you babe but Kolt is way better."
Haskins said, "It's great idea but what is your plan and how do you plan on not getting caught?"
Kolt's lips twisted into a smirk as he said, I was thinking about doing a low vis vehicle interdiction."
Haskins asked, "How many cars are you going to use and who's going to be in those cars?"
Kolt replied, "Well I think I want Kensi and Deeks in one of the cars, I want Sam and Callen in the other. Their two cars will act as a blocking force me and my team will take that dented gray panel van and we'll do the actual snatch and grab. Everybody will be using tazers."
Haskins nodded as they were joined MAJ GEN Bridges and CPT Schaefer. CPT Schaefer asked, "Are you all going to have your faces covered?"
Kolt replied, ""Of course cap'n. We don't want the commies to know who nabbed their ambassador."
LT Porter smirked as he said, "You do realize the Russians aren't Communist anymore right?"
Kolt chuckled as Buckshot shot the young Intel officer a condescending smirk as he said in a patronizing voice, "Sure they're not junior."
Nora watched all of this and desperately wanted to volunteer to help when Gallo spoke up, With your permission sir we'll provide ariel coverage and overwatch."
Haskins nodded as Kolt turned to the Texan and said, "Thanks cowboy. Really appreciate it."
Gallo nodded as Kolt said, "Let's suit up and mount up boys and girls."

Granger finished his 3rd cup of coffee and glanced at Gibbs as he asked, "You wanna go see if our guest is feeling cooperative?"
Gibbs nodded as he and Quinn finished their coffee. Then they walked into the adjoining shed and Granger asked in a booming voice as Gibbs killed the music, "Are you ready to talk yet?"
Karaganov replied, I will tell you nothing about COL Sidorov."
When the agents were almost at the door he said, "But I will tell you something else."
The agents came back and Gibbs asked as Granger and Quinn flanked Karaganov, "What do you have for us?"
Karaganov replied, "I know where Khalid Samatar is holding your two POWs."
Both Gibbs and Granger stiffened as Granger asked, "Where are they?"
Karaganov asked, "What do I get out of it if I talk?"
Granger drew his 9MM SIG SAUER P229 DAK and put a round in Karaganov's knee as he yelled, "IF YOU TALK I WON'T SHOOT YOU AGAIN."
Karagnov said through clenched teeth, "They're being held in Puntland Region, Somalia."
Gibbs said, "Go fill the others in while we continue to drain this dirt bag of Intel.
Granger nodded as he hopped in his car and was gone."

Kolt and his team along with OSP were suiting up when CIA SAD Director Tucker Magnus burst into the TOC and said, "We have a break in our search SGT Cam SGT Hendrix."
Haskins, Gallo, Porter and Madani all stared at the SAD Director as he was joined by CIA Officer Thea and Delta SGT Adam Coogan. Gallo asked, "Where are they?"
CIA Officer Thea replied as Granger joined them, "In the Puntland Region of Somalia."
Kolt sneered as his team and OSP reentered the TOC fully kitted up, "We already know that. Damn can't beat the Culinary Institute of America; I mean damn they're the best."
Coogan stepped forward as he said, "At least they have something that's more than I can say for the vaunted Hellhounds."
Kolt smirked condescendingly as he said in a patronizing tone, "Sure we don't junior now sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up fore I wipe the floor with you like that night outside that bar in Fayetteville."
Coogan's lips curled back in a snarl as he said, "Henderix is one of my best friends. We went through selection together. But I guess you don't give a damn about a lowly-"
Before he could finish Kolt flattened him with a right hook to the jaw as he hissed in a voice only Coogan could hear, "You ever question my love and commitment for my fellow soldiers again I'll end you. Then he straightened up and focused on Director Magnus as he asked, "What else have you learned?"
Director Magnus replied, "Khalid Samatar wants his brother Mustaf released from GITMO."
Buckshot said as Coogan climbed to his feet, "Then get his Jihadi ass on the next fuckin plane most ricky tick."
Trey, Breacher, and Bushmaster echoed that sentiment. Callen said, "So I guess the op is off."
All three senior officers were silent for several minutes then MAJ GEN Brides said, "No; we'll stay with the low vis vehicle interdiction then we'll beat feet to Somalia and get our boys..."
He saw Coogan about to object and he continued in an icy hiss, "Am I understood soldier?"
Coogan replied, "Yes sir. Can I help with the op?"
Kolt replied, "Yea; you're in the 60 actin as aerial sniper. Think you can handle that SGT?"
Coogan replied as he went to kit up, "Yes CSM."
Kolt nodded as he touched Madani's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Come with me."
She nodded as they both left the TOC.
