Chapter 5:

The room was engulfed in a shocked and tense silence; finally, after several minutes Mitch spoke, "I thought MOSSAD killed Sadik Fahd in the Bekaa Valley back in 06."

Simon replied, "So did they. They sent their best Kidon team after him."

Mitch said as he pulled out his cell, "Let me make a call."

Kensi asked, "Who are you going to call?"

Mitch replied, "Director Orli Elbaz."

Simon asked, "How the bloody hell do you know the Director of MOSSAD?"

Mitch replied he walked outside, "I just do."

When MOSSAD Director Orli Elbaz answered her phone, she was pleased to hear Mitch on the other end. She asked, "What can I do for you?"

Mitch replied, "I need to know everything about the hit on Sadik Fahd back in 06."

Director Elbaz said, "Mitch that is classified; you are not even supposed to know-"

Mitch cut her off, "Don't try that classified bullshit with me Orli."

She heaved a heavy sigh as she said, "Alright I will meet you, your mother, your wife and partner in Istanbull in 36 hours."

Mitch said, "We'll be there."

She bade him goodbye and disconnected the call.

Sam, Callen and Anna found Arkady in his usual spot in the swing on the back patio. He smiled as he asked, "How can I help NCIS?"

Callen told him about the Russian and the assassinations of the DCI and the FI Director. When he was finished Sam asked, "Do you know who the Russian is?"

Arkady was quiet for several minutes. Then he said, "His name is Pavel Federov. He was a Spetsnaz commando. He was with Vympel until he joined FSB and became their top assassin. But about 5 years age he left under mysterious circumstances."

Callen snarked, "Yea and ended up an assassin broker."

Arkady scoffed, Everyone must make a living."

All three federal agents just stared at him for several minutes causing Arkady to sputter, "Not that I'm condning his actions or his line of work I was just making a statement."

The three agents nodded as they left.

When the Cessna Citation XLS+ taxied to a stop they saw right across the way they saw a Gulfstream G650ER to they knew belonged to Orli Elbaz. Hetty said as they disembarked from the plane. "Well let us go see what our esteemed colleagues from MOSSAD have for us shall we?"

They nodded as they followed her from the Cessna and onto the other plane.
