Surprise Is Waiting Ahead: Sequel of IT'S NOT ME

Chapter 12

His conversation with McGee in the elevator reminds him, his and Sloane's conversation when Phineas goes missing.

During the whole ride to the NCIS Gibbs didn't say anything and McGee didn't ask him anything. Gibbs was thinking about that moment when he kneels in front of Jack and proposed to her. It brings tears to his eyes. After about half an hour they reached the NCIS.

Without wasting a single second he ran toward the elevator and McGee followed him. When they entered the elevator McGee's phone started ringing.

"It's Kasie."

"Then what are you waiting for, McGee! Answer the damn call." Gibbs yelled and punch the elevator button.

"Yeah, Kasie. What have you got? And please come straight to the point because we are not in the mood." McGee said.

"I found something. I want you here ASAP. And it would be great if you bring Gibbs with you." Kasie replied and hung up.

When she turned around she saw Gibbs and McGee enters her lab.

"Damn! That was quick." She said.

"What you got Kasie?" Gibbs asked.

"Right. I found your SUV but those guys are smart Gibbs. There was no license plate on that SUV!" She said hesitantly.

"That's it!" Gibbs asked angrily.

"Oh..no, there's more.."

"Then what are you waiting for? An invitation!" Gibbs yelled. McGee was standing there without saying anything. Kasie looked at him and turned back to the computer.

"I tried everything to find the license plate, every angle but found nothing. But then I thought to track this car like where this car was before Jack's kidnapping.

And look what I found. This car was following you Gibbs since right after you left the NAVY Yard. I don't think so they were after Jack, Gibbs. Maybe they were after you." Kasie replied with a worried face.

"Then why didn't I notice that?" Gibbs asked.

"Maybe you were thinking about your present that you bought for her Boss!" McGee said as he raises his hand to his chest carefully so Kasie can't see it and tapped on his ring finger.

Gibbs get what McGee was trying to tell him. And maybe he is right because he was thinking about it. He just gives him a nod in acknowledgement.

"Can you play that footage again?" Gibbs asked.

"Of course; but which part you want to see, Gibbs?"

"Outside of the restaurant," Gibbs said as he walked toward the big screen.

He watched the whole thing again but he controlled his emotions and he was observing the scene very carefully.

"Can you zoom in there? I think I saw that man before." Gibbs asked as he tried to remember where and when he saw that guy.

"It's hard to get close up Gibbs because camera angles are not able to get the clear image of this guy." She replied with disappointment.

"C'mon Kasie, you said this car was following me since I left the NAVY Yard, right? What about traffic cameras!"

"Let me check, Gibbs." She plays that footage in fast forward and suddenly Gibbs noticed something.

"STOP THERE!"

"Can you get his clear picture now?" Gibbs asked.

"Let me handle it Kasie. Why don't you check on Nick and Bishop? See they arrived yet or not." McGee said as he came right next to her.
