I don't own NCIS or The Rules. They belong to the appropriate holders of the ownership papers.
Just an appendix for those who can't recall every Rule easily...
Rule #1: Never let suspects stay together (Franks). Never screw over your partner (Gibbs).

Rule #3: Don't believe what you're told. Double check (Franks). Never be unreachable (Gibbs).
Rule #4: The best way to keep a secret? Keep it to yourself. Second best? Tell one other person - if you must. There is no third best.
