Rico Ruiz, and DOD logs show it was used five minutes ago at the Joint Base Hanover commissary.

Kelly Conner explains that the kids in her care are all unaccompanied refugees.

Gibbs refuses to allow that and takes her into his own protective custody.

She responds by asking why his shirts so tight.

Dont ruin this for us, child!

At Chez Gibbs, Elena starts fiddling with Gibbs boat-making tools and confesses that she actually does speak English.

Oh, and they were able to pull an address from his home bleaching kit company.

GIBBS NEVER SAID THE CHILD WAS A GIRL!

This is my absolute favorite police show cliche, and I will never get tired of it.

You have no idea what were capable of, he sneers, and its downright chilling.

But why disable weapons you just stole?

Your mama did what mamas do.

And then Gibbs notices that the lock on Elenas window is ajar.

Since he hasnt opened that window since 2004, he realizes somethings up and sets a trap.

But hes confused about why they think hed want to hurt his own daughter.

He was never on board with the gang activities and was the person who sabotaged the weapons.

As Vance understates, Its complicated.
