The squad including Broderick lean on the railing of the ship, gazing at the landscape that inches closer to them. Light from residencies reflect off the water with the fading daylight. The squad can't help but take in the scenery, it may be a gorgeous place but who knows what lies behind each door.

"Never thought Croatia would look like this." Fin commented

They look at a city that has three story white buildings with red roofing. The city is surrounded by water, and a beach that lines the coast. It could easily be the perfect tropical get away. The boat slowly makes it's way to turning towards the dock in the dim light. A slight jolt erupts when it signals that it has hit the tires of the dock.

"Attention passengers, we will be opening the doors in just a few, you can start making your way down to the lobby." A voice says over the intercom

Pushing off the railing with their elbows, the squad follows behind Broderick who gives a far enough lead to the closest set of elevators. Soon enough, they were off the boat and walking on the concrete platform that connected land from the boarding area. Finally entering a terminal that was crowded with people moving about, the squad spotted the designated drivers who held name tags. Broderick spotted a paper that read "ABM FBI/NYPD". He approached the man who holds the paper.

"Agent Broderick Martindale and NYPD?" The man asks as the squad approaches closer
Munch notices the man has an American accent immediately.

"Yes, we'll be needing to get to -"

"Zagreb, correct? I'm from the U.S. Embassy in Zagreb, I was contacted that I'd be driving you, as well as the SVU squad." He says interrupting Martindale

Captain and Munch catch up with Broderick up front where Nick, Fin, and Amanda trace behind with their pockets in their light coats. Reaching an SUV once getting to the parking lot, Munch and Captain sit in the middle section while Broderick sits up front. Amanda, Nick, and Fin pile in the back where three seats are vacant. Amanda sits in the middle of them, squished between Nick and Fin.

"Never thought we could get any closer, huh 'Manda?" Fin says nudging Amanda
She flashes a smirk at him while Nick leans his head against the window of the vehicle.

"Look's like this is going to be three hours, since you all can't run from me, I might as well start teaching you the history of the Kennedy assassination." Munch says looking back at the detectives

The squad rolls their eyes as the driver rolls up the divider from the front seat to the back seat of the SUV.

"Alrighty, well who knows, maybe it was the CIA, or the mobsters, maybe even a second gunman-"

"John, mind if we hush for a while, we've spent quite along time to get here and we all need wide eyes when we get there" Cap says putting his arm on Munch's causing Munch to stop talking

"Well if that's what you want, okay." Munch says

For the rest of the ride, it is pure silence, besides Munch and Fin who are snoring loudly. The driver pulls up in front of a concrete wall that surrounds the embassy. Once the car is cleared, they pull up in front of the building where two men wait in front of the doors with there arms crossed in front of them.

"Wake up guys, time to get back to work" Broderick says opening the door exposing bright lights to the sleeping squad

Munch stirs from his sleep as well as the others where they finally get out of their seats. After exiting the SUV, the two men step in front of the squad, blocking the doors with their bodies. Both the men seem to be American. Broderick steps forward taking out his badge. Before he says anything, the two men step aside and begin to talk with him.
