The bride

Desperate situations require desperate actions. New OFC, team fic.

More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly. - Woody Allen

The kidnapping

The Charger slides into the vacant spot smoothly. A silver haired man, a tall dark haired man and another light haired man leave the car, going into the small coffee shop on the corner of that busy street. The tall dark haired man is speaking non-stop, making huge gestures with his hands, while the silver haired man only looks at him with a smirk, and the other just looks at him, shaking his head in disbelief.

None pays attention to the black tinted windows limousine that silently glides down the street, and stops one block ahead and parks.

"I'm telling you man, that woman was lying, I could tell, she is guiltier than Hoffa or Al Capone, in Untouchables, the one with Kevin Costner and Sean Connery," says Tony DiNozzo, senior Special Agent of Gibbs' Team, and movie buff.

Gibbs just smirks, and McGee just shakes his head, "just because she's on her fourth wedding and she cleaned out all her ex-husbands with the divorce settlements it doesn't mean that she's guilty. The embezzlement is a very complicated crime, and I don't think that she has the brains necessary to do it."

Gibbs just smiles at the friendly banter between his agents, orders his coffee, pays for it and walks out of the cafe, "I'm waiting for you in the car," while his agents just nod and start ordering their breakfast.

He sips the coffee, looks up and down the street, and sits down in the driver's seat of the Charger. He grabs the case file they were investigating from DiNozzo's seat, and starts reading it.

Meanwhile, muffed pops can be heard inside the limousine, one after the other, and then silence. After some minutes, a young woman steps out of it, dressed in a beautiful wedding dress. However, there is something wrong with the scenario, as there is a gun with a silencer in her hand, and a huge red strip, probably blood, down the front of her skirt and bodice.

She looks around, and notices the stares people are giving her, and starts walking down the street. Her shoulder length blond hair isin an elaborate hairdo, with sparkling jewels on it. Her dress doesn't have a train, but the skirt is delicately embroidered with silk and small shiny beads. It must have cost a fortune, but now it has with blood down it. She keeps walking nervously down the road, and is looking around nervously, she sees the Charger parked, with the driver sipping his coffee and reading some papers distractedly.

She walks decidedly towards it, opens the door, and gets into the car.

Gibbs hears the door opening, and says without looking up, "what took you so long?" but he is surprised when he sees a mass of white tulle and silk sitting by his side, and a beautiful blonde with a shaking voice, and a very firm hand on a revolver pointed straight at his face, saying "Drive." She closes the door after herself.

He smiles at the blonde. "You should be careful where you point that thing," but she is not in any mood for jokes, and she repeats the order, "Drive or I will shoot you."

Gibbs shakes his head, puts his coffee in the coffee holder, and starts the engine of the Charger. "You are making a mistake." She laughs at him, but there is no mirth in it, as she is struggling to hold back tears, "it wouldn't be my first, nor will be my last, just drive."

She looks forward, and lowers her gun, but she still keeps it pointed at Gibbs.

"Drive," she repeats.
