Gibbs had given McGee the details of the case, then their conversation had reduced into a comfortable silence.

A few minutes later, Gibbs phone rang. He checked the caller ID, and saw that it was agent Booth.

"Hello." He answered.

"Hey Gibbs, its Booth. We have a potential victim. Her name's Dr. Maura Isles and she's the ME heading down with my Baltimore cops." Booth started. "We found her name on one of the bullets we recovered today. One of our forensic scientists, tracked her phone and she's heading for a gas station about 20 minutes away. I am sending you the coordinates. How fast can you be there?"

"5-10 minutes." Gibbs answered matter-of-factly.

"Should I be worried? Never mind, just get there." Booth hung up.

Gibbs received the coordinates a few seconds later. He grabbed his badge and gun and started walking towards the elevator.

"Come on McGee."

McGee followed Gibbs into the elevator. Gibbs started to fell bad. He was about to scar him with his 'madman' driving.

"Brad, why didn't you fill up the tank before we left?" Jane complained.

"I forgot." He answered simply.

"How, you had two reminders. Driving to your apartment and driving back to the precinct."

"My mind was preoccupied."

"With what?" She asked.

"Something personal."

Her tone softened. "Brad you know you can tell anything."

"Not this." Brad got out of the car to pump gas.

There was brief silence in the car before Maura spoke up. "Hey Jane, i'm going to go stretch my legs do you want to come?"

"Sure Maur."

They both got out of the car and walked over to the store, standing next to the ice bin.

"God, I hope you weren't planning on actually stretching."

Maura chuckled. "No I just want to talk. About you and Brad."

'Shocker.' Jane thought.

"Nothing's been the same. We don't joke around, and the man hasn't said anything about his personal life...well he hasn't said anything to me. All because of those lousy dates we went on." Jane said frustrated.

"They weren't lousy, you two were together for almost two years. Brad was going to..." Maura stopped herself. "Brad was just jealous of that case you worked with Agent Dean."

"I still don't understand why."

"Because every moment you spent with Agent Dean, you weren't spending with him. He loves you Jane and you love him."

Jane looked over at him. "Its been a year."

"Its going to take more than one year for him to get over you."

A few minutes later Agent Gibbs pulled into the gas station.

"Hey McGee, do you see her?" He asked.

"Yep. She's over there near the ice bin with that other lady."

Gibbs got out of the car and walked over to the two women.

He flashed his badge. "NCIS Agent Gibbs."

"Detective Jane Rizzoli." The brunette introduced herself. "And this is-."

"Dr. Maura Isles." Gibbs interrupted and shook her hand. "I'm here because Dr. Isles is being targeted. I need to escort her to FBI Headquarters."

"Who sent you?" Jane asked.

"FBI Agent Booth." He answered.

"Call him." She demanded.

Gibbs pulled out his phone and started to call Booth but was interrupted.

"Agent Gibbs watch out!" McGee yelled to him.

Gibbs glanced briefly to his right and saw a sniper in the trees. He quickly pushed Maura and Jane to the ground shield ing them with his body. Moments later a bullet bounced off of the ice bin.

Gibbs waited a few more seconds before getting up, to make sure their wasn't another shot coming.

He helped up Jane then Maura.

"Are you okay Dr. Isles." He asked.

"Yes. Just a little startled." She answered softly.

Then Gibbs looked at Jane.

"Yea i'm fine."

Brad jogged over, having witnessed what just happened. "Hey what's going on here?" He asked.

"Some guy tried to snipe Maura." Jane answered.

Gibbs went over to where the bullet was and took out a bag and a glove. He put the bullet in the bag then into his pocket. He noticed that McGee had ran into the woods in search of the retreating suspect.

"Hey!" He called over to Jane, Brad, and Maura. "I need you two to get Dr. Isles straight to the FBI Headquarters no stops. Understood?" He ordered.

"Understood sir." Brad said before they walked over to the car and drove off.

Gibbs jogged after McGee and saw that he had tackled the suspect to the ground and handcuffed him.

They both dragged the dirtbag to the car.
