'Hey, Nick. Get up'. He put the blanket on his head. 'Niiick, c'mon baby. Today it's your first day'. She kindly kissed him on his cheek and he opened his eyes. 'Good morning, Ellie' he said, a grin was on his face. 'Good morning. How are you?' 'You are the first thing I've seen this morning, I'm good'. 'Ok, I'll prepare the breakfast'.
'So, are you ready?' she asked, driving to work. 'Yes, I'm cool' 'You're... cool?' 'Yes' he answered, looking outside. 'Isn't it like the first day of school?' 'I was cool with that too' 'Sure. I can't imagine it' 'Bishop, we... have different perceptions of the world. That's all'. She quickly glanced at him, then she looked at the road again. 'Interesting' 'What?' 'They aren't only our perception, it's what we are. We are different' 'I love what you are. You're better than me' 'I'm not' 'Yes, you are. You're... special, baby'. She smiled, noticing how kindly that adjective has been used. "Special". It sounded well.
'Hey, Nick!' Tim said, happy to see his fellow agent. 'Hi, McGee!' 'How are you?' 'I'm good, thanks' 'Man!' Clay shouted from his desk. 'Man!' he replied. 'Look at the children in the playground' Ellie commented. 'Welcome back, Torres' Gibbs said, entering the bullpen. 'Thanks, Gibbs'. 'The case, guys. Update Torres about it'. 'I already know something' 'Well, I'll make a recap, just in case' Tim said, taking the remote control of the plasma.
'Ok. - Nick said, looking at the victim's family photo - What can I do?' 'Find something. All of you'. He nodded, as he took some files and sat on Ellie's desk. 'She was an excellent Marine' he stated. 'Yes, it's such a shame', her eyes were still focused on her laptop. 'Ellie, can you... can you make a research?' 'Yes, tell me'. 'It's a file. Tango. Foxtrot. 4. 2. 1. Alpha. Charlie. 5. 5. 6'. She furrowed her eyebrows. 'What?' 'It's classified as top secret' 'Can't you view it?' 'Not with my security grade. McGee, come here' she said, pointing the movement with her finger. 'Tell me' 'Look at this'. 'Let's me make a try'. He quickly tapped the keyboard. 'Nothing. We should talk with Vance'. 'I'm agree'. She got up, taking her laptop.
'What can I do for you, agents?' Vance asked, as he saw the three of them in front of him. 'We need your security grade for a file' Ellie stated. 'I appreciate the sincerity, Agent Bishop' 'Is it a yes?'. He nodded, as she smiled and gave him the files.
'Interesting' Leon stated. 'What? Nick asked. 'Well, this file is about a secret mission. 2006. Afghanistan' 'But she hadn't a secret task. Nothing to hide' Ellie noticed. 'Exactly, her life seemed normal' Tim added. 'You're right, Agent McGee. It seemed. But that year something important happened in her life'. 'We'll find out what. - Nick stated - Director, we must know who was in that mission with her'. 'Yes, I know'.
