Follows thisIt is a silent procession down the hall to where Jenny has been holed up. Gibbs in the lead, followed by Stan McQueen, the director of the Albuquerque Witness Protection office. Stan is a small man, a terrier with a pit bull of a personality. Perfect for the job that has been handed to him. He and his agents will keep the Director safe

Alex opened the door to the hotel Vulpe in her doggy sling laying against his chest. All the change in routine was upsetting the dog considering how little time they had her. He nodded at Gibbs taking in the people standing behind him. If they had to see a new group of people he was glad he'd at least shaved though he wished he'd put on a shirt to cover more of his prosthetic arm.

Gibbs nodded at the man, taking note of the appearance and ... the dog. He'd been briefed by McGee and called in a couple of favors with an AD he knew at the FBI and while he didn't like the situation and knew there had to be some Krycek tie to Svetlana, he also wasn't going to push the issue until he knew for sure. Especially since his gut was telling him Alex was innocent, or at least unwitting in any connection. "We have to talk," he said, stepping inside, leading the group of Marshals behind him. The door locked shut behind Mary, who took up a flanking position against the wood. The message was clear. If anyone fired through the door, she took the bullet first.

As soon as Jen hears the knock and Gibbs' voice, she starts getting to standing. She moves so slow lately. But by the time they come into sight, she's on her feet and waiting. She had been expecting something like this. Doesn't mean she'll go quietly, though. Raising her eyebrows, she tries to not sound like a moron, but she's well into a round of Vicodin, "About?"

Gibbs worked this out with Stan beforehand. He's going to let the Marshals marshal the couple off to a land of security. But he's going to do the talking at first. "Until we know where Svetlana is, you aren't safe with anyone connected to NCIS, Jen."
