Chapter 19- SecNav

"Cynthia, set up a video conference with SecNav. Five minutes." "Yes, Director." Vance walked into his office to find Gibbs awaiting his return. "Well, Leon." "Looks like McGee is going to have himself a sleepover. I want him with those two love birds twenty four- seven until the wedding. If Eli gets his way, I'll be finding myself a new MCRT, Gibbs. Tell McGee to meet us in MTAC in five." Vance said as he picked up a file off his desk and headed off for the door, meanwhile, Gibbs just stood there, staring. "Is there anything else Agent Gibbs?" "What did Eli say exactly, Leon?" The NCIS Director let out a heavy sigh. "What I already knew he was going to."

"McGee, with me." Gibbs said as he walked through the bull pen, coffee in hand. "Where we going, Boss?" "You and I and the Director are going to have us a little chat with SecNav." With that, Gibbs bounded up the stairs toward MTAC, McGee in tow and Tony's head shot up from his desk. Gibbs is talking to SecNav? Well, that isn't good. He looked at Ziva, who had the same look in her eyes. "Uh, Boss?" Gibbs' head whipped around. "What DiNozzo?" "Why are you . . . talking with SecNav? I mean, we've had cold cases all week." Gee, DiNozzo. Why all the questions? "Director had a talk with Director David this morning." Tony looked like he had seen a ghost. Or better yet, a goat. He turned to see Ziva, tears beginning to run down her cheeks.

"Ziva, sweetie, shhhh, everything is going to be fine," Tony said as Ziva clung to him as if she would fall if she ever let go, "Everything is fine and I'm here. You're safe, and that's all that matters. He can't hurt you anymore." He took her face into his hand, caressing it in his palm. "Zi, look at me. He will have to go through me, Gibbs, Vance, and probably this whole entire agency and maybe the FBI in order to get to you. He doesn't stand a chance." Tony leaned down and kissed her. "You are a trained assassin, and that was his mistake. Even if, by chance, he does find you, he will regret bringing you up that way." Ziva let out a little chuckle. "Yes, you are probably right."

"Director Vance, Agent Gibbs, McGee." "Sir," they all replied in unison. "How are Agents David and DiNozzo?" Vance stepped forward. "That is what I wanted to discuss with you, sir. There seems to be a problem." SecNav rolled his eyes. "God, Vance, don't tell me they're dead. They're some of the best agents this agency has ever had, damnit!" Gibbs butted in, "Not yet." SecNav was on the verge of turning purple. "What do you mean, Gibbs?" "While in transit to the safe house," Vance cut in, "Agents McGee, David, and DiNozzo were targeted and shot at by an unidentified enemy." "And my I ask who is the suspected 'enemy' here?" Vance let out a sigh. "It is thought to believe that this enemy . . . our so called friend for a long time." This time, it was McGee who stepped forward. "The enemy is believed to be none other than Mossad Director Eli David, sir." The look on SecNav's face, you could call, astonishing. "Is that so? What has lead you to believe this?" Now the eyes where on Vance once again. "Eli's reaction to the engagement and I quote, 'I do not approve; I will get my way.'" "Is that a threat?" "Not from me, sir." "Where are DiNozzo and David now?" "Downstairs, sir." "Good; keep them there; the only place they are safe now." "Yes, sir," once again, answered unanimously. "And, make sure that I receive an invitation." Gibbs chuckled. "I'll do that, sir." "Good luck. Keep me in the loop, Leon." The screen went black and Vance started for the door, McGee and Gibbs not far behind. Out on the catwalk, Gibbs looked out over the bull pen. "McGee." "Yes, Boss." "Coffee. It's going to be a long night." He nodded and headed down the steps.
