Summary: Now what do they do?
AN: Really important author's notes on this chapter.

First, this one comes with a hankie warning. Kyrie's read the penultimate and antepenultimate scenes at least a dozen times and still cries during them. Wanted to give you fair warning. If you messaged me earlier concerned about a particular storyline and where it might go — you know who you are — this is the chapter you might want to skip.

Also, because of the storylines, characters are considering paths you might or might not agree with. I've tried to keep the thoughts as authentic to the characters as possible. If you disagree with a character's thoughts, please pause and consider whether you think it's something that character in that situation might think, say or do before blasting me. If you still think it's OOC or poorly written, fire away.

Summary: It's been a long week and everybody's ready for a break.
AN: Sorry for skipping last week, gang. It was a perfect storm of a week for work and I decided that to preserve what was left of my sanity something had to go. The end of this week isn't looking much better, but the next chapter is almost done — one scene to go that I'm finishing up tonight. As always, huge thanks to Kyrie for editing and thanks to the NCIS tweeps for keeping me sane last week — Sandbar17, TaylorGibbs, Harempriestess, Serenagarde (who let me borrow her name for Josh's new GF!), Rocks_and_bugs, Joyltom, MargyNCIS, Smackalicious and a bunch of others I'm forgetting. And a special thanks to Jesse Stern, whose smile tweet had me grinning through most of the hellishness. :)

Summary: Can the team find the answers? And what happens when they do?
AN: Another short one - I've been so swamped with work that I got behind and Kyrie sent me back twice for a rewrite on a chunk of what was supposed to be this chapter last night. We still couldn't get it nailed down, so I settled on a shorter chapter rather than no chapter today. :) Huge thanks to Kyrie for editing, especially when I'm writing last-minute the way I have been the past few weeks. Fortunately, my schedule gets much less crazy in two weeks! Also, did not see Recruited until after I wrote this, so any similarities to the Vance-Gibbs discussion of the issue are completely coincidental.
