A/N: It took me 1 hour to watch the first few minutes of NCIS just to make sure I got all the speech and actions right….the things you do eh? This is based on the first episode of NCIS, Yankee White, I hope you enjoy it. It will change in some parts too, I've put the original speeches in Italics.

Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS or its characters or this episode, which is a shame because it's my favourite…..Thank you DPB for a fantastic show. NO COPY RIGHT INTENDED!!!!!!

Invites, Lunches & Prayers

The President walked onto the plane, 'Finally,' he thought as he walked in, 'nearly time to head home.' he missed his family a lot when he travelled. The three stewards stand up as he walks over to them. He walks over to the head steward and says, "Bobby, those baby backs from Papa Joe's make the flight?"

Bobby replies, "Yes, sir Mr President. They were flown in from San Antonio 10 minutes ago, sir."

The President replies to Bobby, pointing to him, "Good, let's have an early lunch."

"Yes sir Mr President." and with that the President turns to walk off with his Secret Service Agents. "I love the baby backs from Papa Joe's." he says to Agent Baer as he puts his hand on the agents shoulder.

"I know, Mr President." the Agent replies. The President turns to Caitlin as he realises that there is someone else is carrying the football. "Wasn't Major Kerry supposed to be handling the football on this one?"

Major Kerry was one of Caitlin's close friends. Well an ex-boyfriend but they remained good friends. She replied to the Presidents question, "He came down with the flu, Mr President."

Agent Baer took this as his cue to introduce the 'new guy' as it were. "This is Commander Ray Trapp, Mr President." he gestured with his hand towards the man in the white uniform. "He's new on the detail." The Commander stood tall and looked straight ahead. The President stood directly in front of him and recognises him but couldn't quite place his face, "Have we met before, Commander?" he asked as he shook his hand firmly.

Ray replies, "Yes sir. On the Abraham Lincoln, Mr President."

"The Lincoln." He remembers, "Yeah, the trip to the Lincoln was the best day I've had on this job." he said honestly to Agent Baer. He looks back at the Commander, "Why don't you join me for lunch?"

Ray was trying to suppress his smile, "Be my pleasure, Mr President." he replied still looking forward. 'Wow, lunch with the President' he thought. The President turns to leave after saying, "Good, I look forward to it." he walks off with Agent Baer in tow.

Caitlin walks up and stands next to the Commander. They both smile as they watch the President leave to go to his office. Ray looks towards Kate as she says, "Lunch with the boss on your first day." she looks at him briefly then looks away and continues, "You're destined for stars on those shoulders, Commander." she looks at him once more before turning to sit down ready for take off.

Ray sits down, smile in place looking off towards where the President had gone. He looks down at the briefcase and pats the side of it gently. He was happy that he'd made a good impression on his first assignment with the President. Little did he know it would be his last.

It was now lunch time and Agent Baer had now joined Caitlin. They were sat in silence. He was reading a report and she was sending an e-mail to her husband, to let him now that she misses him and will see him in a couple of days. The stewards are now serving lunch to the passengers. Maggie walks over with a tray for one of the Presidents aids, she puts it down onto the table next to him, with a smile. Bobby walks down the isle towards where Agent Bauer and Caitlin are sat. He almost walks into a gent coming out of the toilet, "Excuse me." the man says and lets him by. He walks past some people and smiles, then continues his journey. He rounds the corner and stops in front of the two agents. "Agent Baer, Agent Todd, would either of you like anything to eat?"

Agent Baer doesn't even look up towards him, "No thanks." was his reply.

"I'm fine, thanks." Kate replies with a smile. She wasn't actually, she felt sick to be honest.

"Very well." and with that he walks off towards the Presidents office.

Agent Baer stands up saying, "I'll be in Comm getting an update from Backhoe. Keep an eye on things down here." he says sternly to the younger agent.

She looks up, "You expecting a problem, sir?"

Baer turns round, "Expect problems, Agent Todd. And with a little luck, you'll never lose a president." he turns off as he finishes his sentence and ascends the stairs towards Comm. Caitlin smirks slightly, in agreement with her boss' words. She looks back down at her palm pilot. Her husband is at home, 'up to no good' she mused.

Just as Agent Baer leaves, Commander Trapp returns. He walks down the corridor, he felt a little warm and a bit faint. As he passes Kate he drops the football. Caitlin looks up and watches him 'something's not right'. Ray looked at his hand wondering why he felt so strange and disorientated. He turns around and looks at Kate and chuckles nervously, "I fumbled in my first army-navy game…but I recovered the ball." It was obvious to Kate that it was a little joke but it didn't seem funny right now. She continued to watch him intently as he picked up the briefcase and leant it against the side of his chair. He turned back, facing her and introduced himself, extending out his hand he said, "Ray Trapp."

"Kate Todd." she said politely as she shook his hand. It felt a little clammy.

His breathing had started to get heavier, "Eating with the President was…a bigger a sweat than…making a night trap." he spoke as he returned to his seat. He needed to sit down, he just didn't feel right at all. He slumped into his chair.

"Are you ill, Commander?" she asked. Suddenly he started to convulse, foaming at the mouth. Kate jumped into Agent mode, "Slammer. Rosefern. Medical emergency. Section One." she spoke to the others over her radio through the mic hidden in her sleeve. She rushed to his side and tried to support his head.

Agent Baer rushed down the stairs, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know." she replied sharply.

Three medics were next to arrive, "What have you got?" the doctor asked as he rushed towards them.

"He's not breathing!" said the female medic.

"No pulse." the other man said.

"Give me the bag." the female medic says to the other man as they rushed to work to try and save the Commander.

Caitlin looked at the doctor. "Doctor, he just had lunch with the President."

"Oh, my God!"

"Let's go!" Agent Baer said and they took off to make sure that the President was fine. "All right, you stay with the football." he ordered Kate before he'd left. She picked it up and put it on her seat.

"Pulse compressions." the female medic told the male medic. They had started CPR. "Let's take a pulse." Kate watched, she knew that the Commander would more than likely die but hoped he wouldn't.

"There's no pulse. Let's take his shirt off." the male medic handed his co-worker some scissors to cut open his shirt. Kate watched on as they tried profusely to resuscitate him. With no such luck the doctor had returned from checking over the President and pronounced him dead. Caitlin felt a pang of guilt, a seemingly healthy young man had died right n front of her and she was powerless to do anything to help. She'd pray for him an his family.
