Next morning at Wayne's office

Gibbs and Wayne having conversation, normal conversation nothing about their business. Gibbs and Wayne become best friends. Gibbs also like their friendship he really likes to talk with Wayne. But he was also aware about that their friendship will end up with his assignment.

He realized that Wayne is not bad person but his past life and circumstances dragged him in this business. Gibbs decided that he would convince Vance and he would help him. So Wayne should get the least penalty from the judge and jury.

"Can I ask you something? " Gibbs asked Wayne.

"C'mon Steve, since when you need my permission to ask me something. You can ask me anything... just shoot." Wayne said.

"Why do all kinds of meetings take place at your house? Means somewhere else, or may be some other place we can make it. This is risky you know that, right. " Gibbs asked Wayne.
Wayne start laughing and answer him.

"I really appreciate your concern about me, Steve. But there is a reason behind it. We can't arrange meetings in some hotels it's risky. And George is industrialist.

His industry makes weapons for U.S. Army. So his involvement in our meetings makes things worst for us. And as a middle man I took this kind of risk. I arrange this type of meeting at our bar where we meet first. Or at my place and office.

And just like you other people also think I'm a good person but they don't know me very well and it's good for our business. And our ring leader he just gives us orders and we have to follow it.

But I am happy because this work gives me one great thing. And it's you Steve. I got one true friend that I never had before. So don't break my trust Steve. I can't handle it after what I have been through. Promise me.." Wayne answered Gibbs question and asked for promise.

For moment Gibbs don't know what to say. He don't want to make any promises that he can't keep.

"Of course. I will never break your trust Wayne. But you didn't meet me with our ring leader yet. It's make me feel that you don't trust me." Gibbs replied with little sarcasm.

"You don't have to wait anymore STEVE. He's coming. He's already on his way to DC . And he sent me to informed you and Wayne."

Both Wayne and Gibbs turned around to take a look at the person who answered him. His eyes wide open but he hide it and glare at the person. He clinched his teeth and curled his hands in fists. It was one and only Victor. Who's smiling at Gibbs.

"What are you doing here? I told you to get out of from DC. " Wayne asked in anger. He feel like he breaks Steve's trust when he saw Victor. Because he made promise to Steve that he don't have to face Victor again and he failed him.

"You don't look happy Wayne... well its Boss who gave me the orders to get back to DC. He told me he will be in DC by mmm..." he looked at his watch and replied "aah... you don't have to wait any longer. He will be here by evening." Victor replied with devil smile and looking at Gibbs.

"That's great. Right Steve?" Wayne asked him as he turne back at Gibbs again.

"Yeah. It is." Gibbs just simply reply

"So why aren't you sound happy, Steve?" Victor asked him.

"Because I cannot digest this thing that a person like you can also bring good news." Gibbs replied with sarcasm. Victor just laugh at him.

At Headquarter all team members and Vance are monitoring everything. When they hear about what Victor said they all back in action. Vance start calling for backup and tell them to wait for his next order. McGee was on alert mode because he don't want to miss any single detail. Nick and Bishop are waiting for their orders.
