A/N-So people...this is my first fic ever and I hope you like it. I've had this idea for about two almost three years now but I never did anything about it. If I write more, they will most likely be about Tony because he is my favorite character, but this wouldn't have worked with him so I choose Gibbs. I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer-I don't own NCIS or any of its characters. The only ones I do own are those of my creation that you don't recognize on the show
Chapter 1:It Begins
08:00...
She stood there in the rain, watching, waiting for her chance. she had been waiting a long time for this and a few more days or even weeks wouldn't matter now. She watched as they got out of the car , one agent arguing with the other two. Where is he?she wondered. Then she saw him, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Seeing him brought back memories of that man, memories she would rather forget. She should just confront him right now, but no she had somewhere to be right now...maybe tomorrow,she thought, maybe tomorrow...

3 hours later...
Gibbs walked out of the elevator to see all of his agents working diligently behind their desks. Finally, one time Tony wasn't bothering anyone.
"What do we got?" he asked, waiting for an answer. Ziva was the fist one to speak.
" Our dead victim is Petty Officer Ryan Aries. His commander's reports in his military files all say that he is a hard worker and I spoke to his CO who said that Ryan was one of his hardest workers and he got along with everyone."
Tony took the remote from her and put up three photos. "These two are his parents. They died in a fire seven years ago along with three unidentified bodies though neighbors told the police that one was probably a young girl by the name of Allie that they had been taking care of. It was never proven and the case went cold. None of the other bodies were ever identified and no one was ever reported missing.
This is Ryan's twin brother, Robert Aries, who live in D. his wife and only child. I couldn't get ahold of him, but I did get in contact with his landlord who said they went on vacation but are due to come back tomorrow. She said she would him tell that I called."
"I looked into his bank and phone records and saw nothing out of the ordinary except one phone call he received two days ago. Here listen to this:'Ryan, this is-this is a friend from seven years ago. Your parents introduced us.' 'I thought you were dead. That's what everyone was saying' 'I escaped. Listen I am so sorry for your parents, but after they died I didn't think that I could face you.' 'Where did you go? Why did you have to run? It wasn't your fault. We all thought you were dead!' 'I didn't want to go, but I had to! I can't tell you where I went not here, not now. Can we meet somewhere private where no one can listen?' 'Yes, come to Mel's Coffee and Cakes at 11:30. Sit at table nine. Don't be late, I won't wait for long.'
And then he hangs up. I tried to trace the call but it lead to a payphone a few blocks away from Aries' house," McGee said, finishing up.
"That meet, its in twenty minutes,boss. We could go and see who this mysterious caller is," Tony said, checking his watch.
"Okay, McGee, you and Ziva get that file on his parents' death. I want those bodies identified, it might help us. Ask Abby for help if you need to. Tony, your with me, lets go find out who this girl is."

At Mel's Coffee and Cakes...
Jackie walked into the little shop and was assaulted with the refreshing smells of coffee. She looked around and made her way to table nine. When she saw that it was positioned in the corner away from others and facing all of the doors, she smiled. Ryan knew her so well, she couldn't have picked a better spot. She walked over and sat down. A waitress came over and she ordered a small cup of black coffee and then sat there waiting. She had five minutes before he got here, so she sat back and watched everyone around her, sipping her coffee with little interest. Not strong enough, she thought. At 11:30 she sat up a little straighter and watched the doors. A minute later two men walked in and immediately her heart sunk. Something was wrong, she could feel it in her gut. She knew those two agents and her fears were confirmed when they started making their way over to her table.
"Hi, I'm Special Agent Gibbs with NCIS and this is my colleague Special Agent DiNozzo. We-"
"I know who you are,"Jackie said, interrupting him,"you have a record for the impoliteness you show to reporters who spill your coffee and you have a record for getting accused and framed for murder. Now, what do you want? I'm meeting somebody in a few minutes."
Gibbs, a little taken back by her abruptness and knowledge of them, said,"Were you planing on meeting Petty Officer Ryan Aries?"
"Why? What does it have to do with you?"she asked, warily.
DiNozzo said from behind Gibbs,"Because Petty Officer Ryan Aries is dead. He was killed this morning and you were the last one to have spoken to him."
"Wait, Ryan's dead? Wh-what happened? Why? What's going on?" she said, shocked.
"Maybe you should come with us and we can carry on this conversation in a more convenient place," Gibbs said, taking Jackie's hand and pulling her to her feet."You never told us what your name is even though we told you ours."
"Oh, its...uh...Alison, Alison Parkes," she said after a little hesitation.

Interrogation Room A...
"Alison" sat in the interrogation room staring at the agent she was panning on visiting tomorrow. Funny how fate works.
"So Alison, what's your relationship with Ryan Aries?" Gibbs asked the young girl sitting in front of him.
"You listened to the phone call. I'm a friend, his parents introduced us when I was about five almost six. I looked at him and Robert as older brothers. After his parents died, I left and stayed with a friend because I couldn't face them yet. Now I thought I would try to re-connect with them. I guess that's out of the question with Ryan." "Alison" said, hurriedly wiping her eyes to keep the tears from falling.
"Why weren't you there when the fire happened?" Gibbs inquired.
"The fire wasn't an accident, Agent Gibbs. Someone purposefully set it, but Sam and Brianna got me out of there. Unfortunately, they didn't escape in time. There were these men coming after me. Something to do with a friend my dad had. Sam and Brianna didn't know about it at first, but they found out after my best friend and her family was killed one night. After that I told them everything that I knew."
"I'll be back in a few minutes, Alison. Can I get you anything?" Gibbs asked as he got up and headed for the door.
"Some water would be nice." "Alison" said.

Other side of the glass...
Gibbs walked in and went to the glass."She's hiding something. I can just feel it."
McGee looked at Gibbs and said,"I can't find a record of an Alison Parkes anywhere, Boss. I erched for birth certificates, adoption papers, foster care system, everything! It's like she doesn't exist."
"Okay, good work. Any luck on those unidentified bodies?"
"No, not yet. I'm still looking."
"She said something about her best friend and her family being killed. Find that case and see who did it."
"You think there's a connection?"
"Maybe, something about all of this doesn't feel right. It's like we're missing something important."
"Okay, Boss." McGee said, leaving.

Interrogation Room A...
Gibbs walked back in with a glass of water and set it down on the table in front of her.
"There's something you're not telling us. We can't find any trace of an Alison Parkes anywhere! Who are you?" Gibbs said slamming his hand down on the table, causing some water to splash over the edge.
Alison", taken back a little out his outburst, realized it was futile to lie to them anymore. She was going to tell him eventually, might as well be now.
"Okay, so maybe I'm not Alison Parkes. I-I didn't want to tell you who really was because I didn't think you would believe me."
"Try me."
"I was planning on telling you tomorrow, but I guess it didn't work out that way."
"What do you mean?"
"My real name is...Jaclyn Angelica Ara Coeli Gibbs."
A/N-review please! I want to know what you think!
