Tony and Dan shortly arrived at NCIS. After going through security, they were told to hop on the elevator and head up a couple of floors. They rode the elevator up and stepped off. They were immediately greeted by walls of orange and sections of desks. At one desk sat a man with sandy-colored hair. He appeared to be Tony's age.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" He asked.

"We are Dectectives DiNozzo and Williams. We were told we needed to find Special Agent Gibbs." Tony answered.

"Special Agent Gibbs is my boss." The man answered. "I'm Agent Stan Burley."

"Where is Special Agent Gibbs?" Tony asked.

"Give me a second." Stan answered. He picked up the phone at his desk and called Special Agent Gibbs' number.

Special Agent Charity Gibbs...

NCIS Special Agent Charity Gibbs walked into the lab. "You have anything yet Abby?" Charity asked.

"Well, I still have no ID on our dead rapist, but I am running the DNA that was found on the outside of the condom." Abby answered.

"That's nothing, Abby. Why'd you call me down here?" Charity asked.

"Well, the footprints or shoe impressions rather, match combat boots." Abby answered. "More specifically they were Marine issue."

"What about the glass fragments?" Charity asked.

"I knew you would ask about those." Abby said. "It wasn't just regular glass, actually it's not glass at all."

"Abby?" Charity prompted.

"It's a plastic." Abby answered. "More specifically a piece of a vision correcting lense."

"So, the killer was a Marine with vision problems?" Charity asked.

"Possibly, yes." Abby answered.

Just then Charity's cell phone buzzed. She opened it and looked at the screen. "What is it Burley?" She asked as she held the phone to her ear.

"Metro Detectives are here." Burley answered. "They're asking to see you, boss."

Charity sighed. "I'll be right up." Then she hung up the phone. She sat a Caf-Pow down on Abby's desk. "Good work Abs." She then headed out the door and hopped on the elevator. When the elevator stopped, she hopped off. As she headed toward her desk, she saw the two Metro detectives.

"I hear you two wish to speak to me?" Charity asked.

"You're Special Agent Gibbs?" Asked the taller of the two men.

"Yes." She answered. "Special Agent Charity Gibbs. Now who are you and what can I do for you?"

Tony had to mentally shake himself as he spoke to Special Agent Gibbs. He hadn't expected her. She was about five foot-two. She Had her red locks pulled neatly back into a poney tail. She was completely unintimidating, but there was something about her. "I am Detective Anthony DiNozzo and this is my partner, Detective Dan Williams. We were working a case and then your people took all of our evidence."

"Yes, I'm aware." Charity answered. "Part of an on-going NCIS investigation so we have jurisdiction."

"But the victim was a civilian." Tony countered.

"I know, but his DNA matched the DNA from a rape case that we were working on."

"Yes, but your rapist is dead case closed." Tony shot back.

"No. The case is not closed." Charity replied, her temper starting to flare. "We need to be absolutely sure that he hadn't raped anyone else and that he wasn't working alone."

"Listen, we were working his murder before, so we have a right to finish this case."

"It's in my jurisdiction now, so we will..." Before Charity could finish her sentence, a make voice sounded from the railing above.

"Special Agent Gibbs."

Charity looked up. "Director Morrow." She said, her voice instantly calming.

"I need you and the detective in my office now." Director Thomas Morrow ordered.

Charity headed up the stairs, Tony following her. Stan and Dan watched the pair walk up the steps as they had watched the little fight, in silence. "How do you think this is going to end?" Stan asked the other detctive.

"I'm not sure." Dan answered. "I think that in the end though, Metro will have the case back."

"You've obviously never had a run in with Special Agent Charity Gibbs before." Stan replied.

"She does seem like a hand full."

"Oh she is. She is incredibly difficult."
