SynopsisEdit

A dead Marine Captain is found dead on an Army base with one of the witnesses being Gibbs's third ex-wife. As NCIS race to find the killer, Gibbs's past and present relationships threaten to collide with one another...

PrologueEdit

Stephanie Flynn and Jill Reynolds arrive back from a conference with Jill thanking Stephanie for picking her up. Once they're inside, they head for the study where Jill's husband, Trent Reynolds is and ask him to turn down the blaring music which Jill eventually turns down.

Stephanie edges closer to say hi to Trent but gets a shock where she discovers that he's dead with an arrow having gone through the upper side of Trent's body.

It then shows Stephanie who looks horrified at the discovery.
