"What've we got Tony?" Gibbs asked, striding into the bullpen
"Nothin' yet boss" Tony told him "but I'm having trouble with the computers again"
"You didn't mess up your paperwork again did you?" Kate asked him, slinging her coat over the back of the chair in front of her computer.
"You're so funny" Tony said sarcastically "check your computers, maybe they were all hit, tell me what you see"
"I see," Kate quickly logged in "Spiderman?"
"Samantha" Gibbs growled snatching up his phone "Get Sam down here now!" he barked before slamming the receiver back down
"Sam?" Kate questioned looking from one to the other, unable to read their expressions
"I need a coffee" Gibbs said, pacing between their work stations
"Who's Sam?" Kate asked again, wanting to know what they knew
"That coffee would be great right about now" Gibbs told her pointedly
"but..."
"Just get me the Goddamn coffe"
"Fine" she turned on her heal and left, payback could be a bitch.
When she returned there was a teenager seated at Gibbs' terminal tapping continuously on the keyboard while keeping up a steady stream of conversation
"Sorry this happened to you agent Gibbs, but I only meant to send the virus to DiNozzo's computer" she stopped and looked at Gibbs who seemed to be choking on his coffee "you alright Gibbs?"
"What the hell did you put in this?" he demanded of Kate
"Salt" she said simply
"Well anyway" the girl laughed and kept talking "I went for my check-up yesterday and I won't be out of the chair for another week at the most. Ha, there you go, all fixed" she logged in using Gibbs' username and pulled up a few files "you wanna know what Tony was doing on the weekend?"
"No" Gibbs said firmly, handing the still full coffee cup to Tony who promptly left to dispose of it "just fix what you did and get off my computer"
"Uh, not to intrude or anything" Kate said "but who's your friend?"
"Sam Riley, aka the Spider"
"What's she doing working for NCIS?"
"I got arrested"
"What?"
"Yeah, I uh, hacked into the NCIS database a few times, I wasn't caught though" she added hastily on Kate's look "that only happened after DiNozzo dumped my sister, that's when I got through all the security surrounding the CIA, I swapped a few files from Confidential to All Access and threw in the Spartan. A virus of my own creation that swaps around the passwords for all the usernames in the system" she stopped to draw a long breath "six months ago my brother, Jeremy, and I sent out the Titan, it's like this really major bad ass virus that shuts down your computer when you go online, then when you log back on, or turn the computer back on, the entire system has been swapped with another persons who'd logged onto the net within ten seconds of you doing so. Wreaked havoc on the FBI"
"And they hired you for that?"
"Yeah, they couldn't risk me being out in the public and all because I'd be a 'Terrorist threat to the United States of America,' when they caught me I tried to run, took 'em eight months to figure out where I was though, I ran, Gibbs chased me, Tony nearly ran over me in his goddamn car, I would've gotten away, but he shot me just before I got into the state forest" she wheeled out from behind Gibbs' desk, parking her wheelchair in front of Kate's terminal and inserting a floppy disk into the hard drive "Shattered my pelvis, had to get the entire thing replaced, been stuck in this bloody thing for four months now." She was interrupted by the ringing of Gibbs' phone
"Ya" he answered, "Uhu" he scrawled a note and handed it to Kate "Yep, on my way" he dropped the phone back into the cradle, shucked on his jacket and followed Kate to the elevator
"Hey, boss, what's going on?" Tony asked as Gibbs rushed past
"Dead JAG officer three blocks over, you stay here and make sure she doesn't do anything" Gibbs told him stepping into the elevator as the doors slid shut.
"Guess it's just you and me now huh DiNozzo?" Sam asked, grinning at him
"Unfortunately"
"Lt. Bud Roberts, looks like he was poisoned" Ducky told them taking the liver temperature "Liver's at 98 degrees, hasn't been dead more than half an hour in these conditions, we'll get him back to the lab, Abby should be able to tell us what poisoned him"
"Did anyone see what happened?" Gibbs asked, stepping carefully around the body
"Three other JAG officers, Lt. Roberts, Lt. Commander Harmon Rabb and Colonal Mackenzie, they're all over by the window"
