A/N: I know there are going to be a couple time jumps in this story, and if you don't like it you can deal with that on your own time. You gotta story to read!
It had been a couple months since Caroline started working at NCIS, and more importantly to two of the agents, a couple months since Caroline and McGee had started dating. They had both agreed to keep it quiet because Tony could be unpredictable about this, whether annoying the about it or going into brother mode and trying to protect Caroline from getting hurt, and the two really didn't want either.
NCIS had been given a case. It was originally a UCOD case, but NCIS took it when a victim was a Marine.
"Santiago Dennel. Leader of the Del Rosa gang, and wanted for basically every crime in the book."
Tony, Ziva, McGee, Caroline, Danny and Jen were all around the monitor talking and discussing how they wanted to approach it.
"We find him and arrest him." Ziva said plainly.
"Easier said than done Agent David," Jen rejected, "this guy is not only a master of basically every kind of fighting, but he has been hiding from the FBI for a decade now. We get a glimpse here and there of him, but no matter how close we get, we never actually get him."
"So finding is out of the picture?" McGee asked Jen.
"With this guy," Jen answered, "you don't find."
"Then what do we do?" Ziva asked confused.
Jen smirked and looked at Caroline.
Caroline looked at Jen and back to the monitor. Her voice was cold. "You hunt."
They had spent about an hour debating over what to do. They had located one of his accomplices, Hosa Rodriguez, known as 'The Red Knife', at a high class hotel near by.
"Storm it." Ziva suggested.
"Why are you always so violent?" Danny asked.
"If we show up with badges and guns," Caroline explained, "he'll run and we'll loose an opportunity at more information."
Tony scoffed. "Isn't it your job to get the information?"
"No one has any intel on this guy." Jen defended. "He is the North Korea of criminals. You're lucky you have us because we have the most information on this guy, as little as it is."
"So," McGee interjected, "how do we do this?"
Jen and Danny looked at Caroline. She looked at them and shook her head.
"Don't even think about it." Her face had "semi-annoyed" written on it.
"Too late." Danny said with a smirk.
"I'm not in UCOD anymore. I can't just go undercover anymore." Caroline argued.
"Yes, but if UCOD and NCIS are in collaboration," Jen retorted, "and undercover is the best option, anyone from both sides can go."
Caroline widened her eyes and raised her eyebrows at her. "So you and Danny do it. You're the specialists."
"We may be officially, but we all know you're the best at it." Danny countered. "You have the second highest success rate, right after Hutton."
"And you two are right behind me." Caroline said.
"Which is why," Jen said slowly, "you and Danny should go. Highest success rates, better probability of us getting the guy, more information. Everyone's happy." She smiled and Caroline took a deep breath in.
"You two aren't going to drop this, are you?" Caroline asked, her eyebrows up.
The two UCOD agents shook their heads.
Caroline made a quiet sigh. "Fine." She looked at Jen. "Have everything ready in an hour. Driver's licenses, passports, credit cards, previous bank accounts, family history, and social media sites." She looked at Danny. "I want all UCOD information sent to my computer in ten minutes. I want to start as soon as possible, so we can finally get something on Dennel and stick a needle in his arm or a bullet through his brain, which ever comes first."
Danny scoffed sarcastically. "I believe I'm the UCOD SA."
Caroline, who was already half way to her desk, turned and glared at him. He threw his hands up in surrender and Caroline stood still, looking at the two UCOD agents. "Are you two going to do something or just stand here like idiots?"
"Yep," Jen said, walking towards the elevator with Danny, smiling, "she's back."
Caroline sat at her desk and started typing. Tony, McGee and Ziva were all in awe at her, them having never seen her do that.
Tony was the first to speak, smirking a bit. "Carrie, that was-"
Caroline didn't look up as she cut him short. "Compliments later, Anthony. Right now, you need to either be keeping an eye on Rodriguez or setting up MTAC and the equipment."
"Yes ma'am." Tony said as the three dispersed, McGee going to MTAC, Ziva going to Abby for whatever Abby could get, and Tony sitting back at his desk.
"Oh, and Tony?" Caroline looked up from her computer at him, and he did the same to her. "Don't call me Carrie."
Tony raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't call me Anthony."
They both smirked and got back to work.
