Director Vance got the word. The Department of Defense has made a decision. NCIS was shutting down. They were going to be dissolved into Army CID.
They were told they had to turn over their many cases to Army CID almost immediately as they wait to learn where they’ll be reassigned. For the lucky few that is.
There was naturally going to be layoffs to go with this new merger. Their prized building was left to rot. Some kids tagged it within a month. Vance went down there to see how bad and he found himself detained over a dead CID Agent.
CID Agent Dolan Thompson was killed after the former NCIS Agents reopened a case. Torres refused the transfer. He went to go work in the DEA. He was contacted by Billy Fuentes.
His father was murdered over twenty years ago and NCIS solved the case. They got justice for the family. Gibbs even stayed behind to finish the treehouse that Billy’s father had started before his death.
Billy spent a lot of time with Gibbs and Gibbs once promised him that NCIS will always be there if his family ever got into trouble again.
Billy wanted to cash in that promise. His sister got into trouble. Petty Officer Hart was accused of killing a fellow sailor. She was being held in the brig and CID had already closed the case.
Torres got the team back together. They were secretly reinvestigating the murder. They brought in Parker as well. Parker was another one that refused the transfer.
He was now making a podcast about true crime. He was going into his history as a former FBI/NCIS Agent. He was also teaching people how to make great cocktails.
Parker was retired. He has a busy year. He technically buried both of his parents. He reconnected with his sister. He also took down his white whale.
The one person he was never able to bring to justice until he traveled to Cuba. Parker needed this rest and he let his team disturb it because they all believed in following through on Gibbs’s promises.
It doesn’t matter that Gibbs retired years ago. NCIS or what remains of it still believed in following things through so they had Knight sweet talk Agent Thompson into interviewing Hart.
Hart kept saying she didn’t kill Airman Drake. She begged to go home to her son. Her husband died and she was the only parent that her son still had. Only she wasn’t telling them everything. Hart left her post. She fudged shipment reports to hide she left her post. NCIS also found out she was hiding something else.
They believed that Hart was smuggling weapons. The shipments were forged. Weapons are making it into Russia. It all lined up and they didn’t think Hart was doing this alone so Knight spoke to her again.
Hart said she had nothing to do with arms smuggling. She also refused to admit what she was actually going when she left her post. It turns out she was helping a drunken sailor hide it from their boss.
Its why she left her post. It’s why she refused to say what she was doing. She didn’t want to get her friend in trouble or risk that friend getting fired. What surprised everyone was who told them that story. It was Thompson again. Thompson already knew about the weapons smuggling. He said they kept it quiet to find out who else was involved.
It was a smart idea. Too bad it was a lie. NCIS found out who was behind the smuggling. It was Former Deputy Attorney General Brett Gaines. NCIS arrested him for killing someone.
They also arrested Nexus. The two were connected. Gaines went to college with the person behind Nexus. Thompson told them. There had to be another person involved and Thompson admitted he made the connection because both men were friends of his boss, CID Director Wayne Rogers. It was Rogers who got NCIS shut down for getting too close to him.
Thompson proved to be a red herring. He was sent in to destroy evidence. He convinced NCIS that he wanted to do the right thing and they never fell for it. They were sadly too late to stop him from shooting Vance. Only they killed him for what he did. Vance and the graffiti and the building rotting wasn’t real.
It had been a journey for Vance to accept that he was dead. The person questioning him was just trying to get him to the point of what really happened. Ducky got him to acknowledge and accept his final moments in NCIS.
His death as well as Rogers’s arrest cleared the way for NCIS to be reopened.
Everyone returned to work in honor of the late Director Vance and so his legacy lives on.
THE END!
