Love and War (episode)

Love and War (or Love & War) is the fourteenth episode of NCIS Season 6 and the 127th episode of the entire NCIS series.
==Synopsis==
A Navy Captain goes missing while driving late at night and is eventually found dead in a cabin. The team suspect that his murder may be espionage-related but everything changes when they uncover a clue that has them believing the officer's life might be a motive for his death.
==Prologue==
Late at night, a single car drives on a lone stretch of road as the Everly Brothers - Bye Bye plays in the background.
Inside the car, Navy Captain Thomas Jennings is singing along to the song but is left startled when he hears a loud thump with Jennings realizing he may hit something.
Jennings then stops the car, unbuckles his seatbelt and gets out.
As he steps out into the night, he uses a flashlight, remarking "Oh, no" upon seeing someone lying in the distance.
Jennings runs forward and reaches the person, stating "Oh, my God", obviously horrified at what he's done.
He then turns the body over, only to find that it's fake with a pillow.
Jennings mutters, "What the Hell?" before throwing it aside, disgusted.
"Anyone there?", Jennings calls.
But there's no reply.
Jennings then gets back to the car and gets inside but finds the keys are missing which means that Jennings has been left completely stranded.
"What the Hell's going on here?", Jennings remarks, stunned.
Jennings then gets out of the car again while wondering where his keys are.
It then cuts to show that someone is watching Jennings from the bushes.
Jennings eventually gives up searching and attempts to use his cell phone, only to find that there's no signal available. He slips the phone back into his pocket.
Jennings continues searching with the sound of leaves rustling startling him.
"Anyone there?", Jennings calls, his flashlight scanning the area.
In the bushes, it's shown that the same person is still there, keeping an eye on Jennings.
At the car, Jennings is still examining the area, calling "Hello?", obviously hoping for an answer but yet again, he gets no reply whatsoever.
It then cuts to the same person presumably approaching Jennings with Jennings being left startled when he turns around to meet the unidentified person seconds later.
