CHAPTER 2: THEY'RE BACK
The time was 5:45 am and Veron was passed out on the sofa just after 3am after most of the guests had left the building, they had
decided that this year they were going to have a party at the office just for the fun of it, it has been alright apart from the small fight
that broke out when one of the probies had thought tonight was his lucky night and had tried to get together with Vicky, big mistake
as she kneed him in the balls much like she had done to Tony some months ago. Veron's cell rang and he looked at it with squinted
eyes and he read his caller ID.
"Jethro?" Veron said sleepily
"Jason, we have a problem" Gibbs said
"What is it?" Veron said sounding a little more awake and sitting up on the sofa
"We have a dead commander that belongs to your navy" Gibbs says and with that Veron woke up
"We will be there asap" Veron said and closed his cell
"Get up guys we are going to DC" Veron said awakening Vicky and Emma it was going to be a long day.
Making it to the airport and getting everything onboard is easy but the 2am flight is not so easy, exhausted and barely thinking
they boarded the jet and got down to business. Veron opens his cell and dials Gibbs' number after less than 2 rings he answers.
"Gibbs" He answers
"Jethro, its Jason we are leaving London now, we need all the info you have, can you email?" Veron asks
"Whats that?"
"Get Abby to send over the files we need we willbe there as soon as we can" Veron says hanging up
The flight was rather smoth apart from the fact that they kept falling asleep getting up to date on the case. Vicky was in her chair
reading through the notes of the case while Emma, now nearly 5 months pregnant was sleeping in the most uncomfortable
position on one of the chairs and Veron was overloading on Pepsi to get himself prepared for what will be one of the longest days
of his career.
The jet arrives just after 6am and Gibbs and the team are waiting at the airport to escort them to NCIS.
"Nice reception" Veron says shaking Gibbs' hand "long time"
"Not long enough" Gibbs says smiling
"Dinozzo, Kate, Ziva McGee" Veron says shaking their hands
"Great to see you again Vicky" Tony says smiling as Kate smacks the back of his head
They all make their way back to the cars and head off towards the NCIS building, this is one reunion they all wish they never attended.
