After meeting the new director, Charity headed back down to the bull pen. She had decided that with a new director, she would have to rework her strategy for getting her father back. Charity made her way over to her desk and sat down. She started to fill out some paperwork.

"No case, boss?" McGee inquired.

"Just catch up on your case reports." She told him.

"Why did the director need you in his office?" Burley inquired. "Before he called you, he called us looking for you."

"It's not his office anymore." Charity answered. "We have a new director. Jenny Shepard. Now get back to your case reports."

It was then that the phone at Charity's desk rang. She looked at the ID screen and saw that it was Ducky. She picked up the phone. "What's up, Duck?" She asked.

"I need to see you for a moment. Could you please come down here?" He asked.

"Sure, Duck. I'll be there." She answered and then hung up her phone. She rose from her desk and headed for the elevator. She pushed the button and she was on her way down. The elevator soon came to a stop and the doors opened. Charity started for autopsy, when she looked in the door and noticed all the lights were off.

"Something's wrong." She whispered to herself.

She grabbed her gun from her holster at her hip. She then walked in the doors. Before she could figure out what was wrong, she felt the end of the gun at the back of her head. "Put your gun down." A heavily acccented voice commanded from behind her.

Charity bent down and put the gun down on the floor. "And your back up." The voice said again. Charity reached down and pulled the pistol from the holster at her ankle.

"Go stand by the good doctor."

Charity spotted Ducky standing against the side wall. She walked over to him. "I'm sorry, Charity." Ducky whispered to her.

"It's alright." She told him.

"Turn around." The man ordered.

Charity slowly turned around and came face to face with the man behind the gun. He was tall and slender. His skin was tanned and he had a five o'clock shadow. "I finally get to meet face to face with the legendary Charity Gibbs." The man said. "You're not nearly as intimidating as I pictured."

"Well, it's great that you know me, should I know you? You're all starting to blend together." Charity replied.

The man smiled at her and chuckled. "And they told me you didn't have a sense of humor."

"Who are you and what do you want?" Charity asked.

"In due time." He answered. "Right now, I want to talk about you, Miss Gibbs."

"What about me so interests you?" Charity replied.

He smiled at her once again. "There is much that I find interesting." He answered. "Like how you put on this brave front, when I know deep down, you are just a scared little girl, who misses her father."

Charity glared at the stranger. "You leave my father out of this."

"It appears, I already have pushed the right button." He muttered. He then began to pace from side to side, in front of them. While his eyes were off of her, Charity kept looking for ways to disarm him.

Back in the squadroom...

Burley and McGee were setting at their desk, filling out their paperwork, when a redheaded woman in a nice suit was walking down the steps. She now stood in the midst of their desks. "Where is Agent Gibbs?" She asked.

Burley stood up. "She's in autopsy. Ducky called and asked to see her." He answered. "I'm Agent Stan Burley." He then extended his hand.

She took it and shook his hand. "I'm your new director, Jenny Shepard. Could you please call her and have her come to my office?"

"Yes, Director." Burley answered.

"Thank you." She said and then she was heading back to her office.

Burley picked up the phone at his desk. He dialed Ducky's extension. After four rings, Charity was the one to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Boss, the new director said she needs to see you." Burley said.

"Tell her it will be a few minutes, Burley." Charity replied. "Ducky has a deposition he has to give in a few days and he needs help preparing. We can't let this one get away."

"I'm not sure that I can tell that to the director..." Burley replied.

"She'll understand." Charity said. "Now get back to work." Then the line went dead.

"What's going on?" McGee asked, looking up from his desk.

Burley hung up his phone then he looked at McGee. "Does Ducky have a deposition coming up?"

"I don't think so, why?" McGee asked.

"She said she was helping him prepare for one."

"Something's wrong." McGee and Burley said in unison.

McGee then got on his computer and was hacking into the cameras in autopsy. After a few seconds, he discovered that the cameras were down. "Something is definitely wrong." Burley said.

Then both agents were on their way up to Director Shepard's office. When they walked in, she looked up. "I thought I'd asked for Agent GIbbs." She said, looking at Burley.

"Something is wrong, Ma'am." Burley replied. "She said she was helping Ducky prepare for a deposition, but he doesn't have one."

"Then I pulled up the feed from the cameras in autopsy and the cameras are down." McGee added.

"Let's find out what's going on." She replied, standing up from her desk.
