Excerpt: A Marine, a Linguist, and the Aliens...

Timothy McGee came up to Tony and Gibbs looking down at his iphone. "Our Marine is Gunner Sargent Parry Fred Watts currently on leave." McGee frowned at his phone. "It appears that his temporary quarters are on Bolling Air Force Base."

Tony looked at Timothy shocked. "Probie, you must have read that wrong."

Timothy shook his head. "I've looked at it twice. He is temporarily stationed at Bolling Air Force Base. His commanding officer is listed a Major Evan Lorne in the Air Force. And.." Timothy frowned again. "He is listed as being assigned to McMurdo in Antarctica."

Tony took Tim's phone and stared at it. "Are you sure that you have that right? His commanding officer is Air Force and is stationed in Antarctica? But he's here in Washington D.C.? At at Bolling Air Force Base?"

Timothy looked offended. "If I was going to make something up, don't you think I would come up with a better cover story?"

Gibbs frowned. "Yes, I would think that they would have come up with a better story."
