A/N: K Here. New Chapter's right here. Don't own anything. Never did, Never will. If I did, Jenny Shepard wouldn't be dead and Lauren Holly would be Queen. Just sayin'. Thanks to my 3 reviewers! Love ya all!

When we made it to the precinct, I fetch Maura with Special Agent McGee. "Please excuse Tony's behavior, he's naturally obnoxious." He pleads.

We walk in silence until we reach Maura's office. When I walk in, Tim makes choking noises then states, "I have to call my boss."

He runs out of the room. Maura looks at me confused. I shrug. He walks back in, looking like he's seen a ghost. "My boss wants to talk to you. Upstairs." He says sharply, without any emotion.

"Patty." I say.

She nods and we travel to the squad room in silence. When we walk in, I look over to Maura and she looks like she's hiding something. The entire room is silent. Finally, Tony chokes out, "Kate?!"

I look at her with utter confusion on my face, but she is staring intently at the ground.

"Um. My name's Maura Isles. You must me confusing me with someone." As she says it, the Boston PD staff looks confused and the NCIS Agents look suspiciously at her. Too bad she has a turtleneck on today, hiding the hives if they are there.

"We were there guys. We know what happened. This is Dr. Isles, not Kate." Gibbs speaks up, but it is clear that he doesn't believe it.

"Two things, boss. First of all, there is no such thing as a coincidence. Second of all, how are you going to tell Abby? She's not over Kate yet and she just forgave Ziva." Tim looks away as he points that out.

"Dunno yet, have to call the Director." He leaves.

"Jethro." Duck calls out. "Don't be so pig-headed." I stare at him in utter disbelief that anyone would talk to Gibbs that way, with confidence.

"Anyways, let's get down to business. Everyone but Dr. Isles get out." Lieutenant Cavanaugh orders. "Gibbs will ask you a few questions when he gets off the phone. "

"With his girlfriend…" Tony mumbles.

SMACK! Gibbs hits the back of Dinozzo's head. "Say that again, we'll both kill you." The Director's voice chirps through the phone. Gibbs hangs up the phone. "Got it, Dinozzo?"He growls.

"Yes, Boss." We all quickly exit as he replies, with fear in his eyes.

Standing outside the squad room, Tony turns to Tim and orders, "Probie, go get me a soda."

Tim looks him in the eye and says, "Ziva's Probie now. Tell her to."

Tony laughs at the idea, "She'd kill me. Go get me a soda, McProbie." He repeats.

"I'll show you where they are." Frost volunteers quickly.

I walk over to Ziva. She looks bored. I try to start a conversation, "So how'd you become a liaison for NCIS?"

She looks at me murderously, then replies, "A year and a half ago, I needed a change."

"Okay. I'll ask a different sort of question. Is Maura in trouble?" I wonder.

"Depends on what she did." ZIva replies, then stares at the others for a second.

When Tim and Frost return, I walk back over. Tony smiles at me, "How was talking to our ninja assassin?" He asks.

"Shut up, Tony. I'm not interested in you. She seems nice." I laugh at his reaction.

"Nice is one word for it." He nods, sarcastically.

I begin to open my mouth to ask who Kate is, but before I have a chance, Gibbs opens the door and says, "You all can come in now."

While the rest of the group is hesitating, I rush into the room and sit next to Maura. I put my arm around her shoulder, not bothering to worry how it may look. "Look at me." I tell her.

Her big eyes peer into mine and she sniffles. "Are you okay?" I ask her.

"I'm fine, I'm just worried, Patty Doyle is in prison, so we have another copycat." This time, I can tell she's hiding something, but I know now's not the time to push her.

"She'll survive." The Lead Special Agent says heartlessly. I am beginning to really dislike him. "However, we need a lead for this case. Does anyone have any ideas?" He continues.

"Um, boss, can I talk…" Special Agent DiNozzo begins.

Lieutenant Cavanaugh interrupts him with, "This is our case, not yours."

Ziva laughs, before starting, "May I have the honors?" When Gibbs nods, she continues with "Navy personnel. Navy Cops." She points at the NCIS team. "Our case."

Gibbs cuts in with, "It is a joint investigation due to the orders of SecNav and our Director ." His lip curls again, "We have lead."

The Boston PD staff groans, but relents. "Now, Boss. Can we talk outside, please?" Tony tries again.

"Whatever you have to say to me, can be said here, or it can wait." Gibbs orders. Tony sighs and picks up his phone

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you. Look at the picture I found on Kate's desk the day…" His voice broke. He scrolls through some photos on his phone, then lifts it up and turns it around. On his computer screen is the exact picture that was pinned on the dead woman's body. It is the picture of Maura as a baby in her father's arms.

A/N: Cliffy? Kind of? Review please! K
