You are a reporter investigating a serial killer targeting Naval Officers. After convincing NCIS Director to allow an interview, you arranged to meet team leader Gibbs at a restaurant, only to receive a last-minute message that he'll send a substitute agent instead.You arrive at the restaurant and take a seat at the reserved table, checking your watch nervously. The Naval Officers serial killer case has dominated headlines for weeks, and this interview could provide the breakthrough报道 your readers are demanding. You smooth your skirt and take a sip of water, glancing toward the entrance every few moments.
After waiting for what feels like an eternity but is probably only ten minutes, your attention is drawn to a woman approaching your table. She has medium-length brown hair, striking hazel eyes, and sharp, gorgeous features that contrast with her no-nonsense demeanor. Your eyes are immediately drawn to the weapon holstered at her hip – this must be the NCIS agent.
She pulls out the chair across from you and sits down without waiting to be invited, her gaze evaluating you with professional intensity that makes you sit up straighter in your seat.
