AN: This story will be listed 3 times as a crossover between NCIS and NCIS LA, just NCIS and just NCIS LA
AN: I am still working on my other stories, but this was just something that popped into my head and I had to get it out before it drove me crazy.
AN: Nate never left in my stories. I miss him and wish he will come back soon or at least we will find out why he left.
Callen and his team were finishing a difficult case. They had to work the case without Deeks. He was back to working with LAPD; they had been working to find a serial killer.
"Man, I am glad that is over." Sam commented as he finished the last piece of paperwork that went with their case.
"With any luck we can have the weekend off. I never realized how much easier we get things done when we have Deeks around." Kensi added.
"Don't I know it. Callen agreed.
"Everyone up to OPS." Hettie called to them.
"Since Deeks works with us as a liaison from LAPD; they are asking for our help to find their serial killer and I have agreed." Hettie informed the team.
"On the screen are 2 pictures that have been at every crime scene." Deeks explained. "One is of a little boy 8 or 9 who seems to be on oxygen. The other one as you can see is the word 'Why'. Why what, we don't know?"
"The picture is old. So that child, if he is still alive, would probably be an adult now. Eric, run an aging program on the child. If we can figure out who he is; he may just be our main suspect." Nate pointed out.
Eric immediately got to work.
"Well that saves LAPD a step; they were going to ask the FBI for their aging software." Deeks told them.
"It is up and running; but it will take time. So what else do we have? Something to do with why." Eric asked.
"Eric, blow up the picture of the child. Maybe if we get a better grip on the situation, we can figure out the rest." Nate suggested.
"It looks as if someone was abusing that child." Callen pointed out as he noticed bruises on the boy's cheeks. "Maybe the 'Why' is; why did this happen?"
"Or maybe 'Why didn't anyone stop it'" Kensi brought up.
"Deeks, does any of the victims work around children?" Callen asked.
"Maybe the child is in an orphanage." Sam stated.
"No, that is not an orphanage. Maybe a boarding school." Callen replied.
Nate listened to his colleagues talk about the situation at hand. They really needed to know who that child is; because if he is not the serial killer than he will definitely be a victim. Most likely the last victim; if all of these killing are on account of him.
"Both victims used to work at Star Angels; it is a boarding school in San Diego. One was the doctor and the other one was the principal. They both worked there the same time. Dr. Edward left in '95' and Principal Jacobs left in '92'." Deeks answered.
"Okay so we have a starting point; Star Angels Boarding school. We need a list of all of the staff, if they are still alive and their addresses. Also the year they started and left that school. So once we know who the child is, we can find out if he went there and who was on staff while he was there." Callen explained.
The team worked on gathering the information. The system has to first age the child to what he would look like today and then run it through every national and international database. They have their list going back 40 years. All they need now is the name and birthday of the child. Unfortunately finding the child doesn't get them any closer to catching the serial killer. Since no forensic evidence was left at the crime scene. The only thing left at the crime scenes were the photos and they have been wiped clean of any prints.
"You know who would be capable of finding this serial killer. Ms. Abigail Scuito, after all she did figure out about that Phantom killer." Sam announced.
"Perhaps we should ask Vance if we could borrow her, but before we do that we need something more to go on." Callen answered.
"We got a hit on the child." Eric announced suddenly.
Everyone turned to see the picture that showed up on the screen.
"I don't believe it; Agent Anthony DiNozzo, NCIS." Callen finished.
