Chapter 2:Making Friends,New and Old

Interrogation Room A...

"My name is...Jaclyn Angelica Ara Coeli Gibbs," she said with a relieved sigh."I'm so glad I got that off my chest! I was planning on telling you tomorrow, but..."

Gibbs was still staring at her with a shocked expression on his face."What do you mean? I don't have any family left after my dad died. How are you related to me?"

"Well...you see, I'm your younger brother's daughter, so your niece. Nice to finally meet you Uncle. Wow, that sounds weird to say!"

"I don't have a brother, so you're lying to me, again."

"No, you do have a brother, you were just never told about him. He was born after you left for the Marines. Though your father, my grandfather, wasn't very pleased with him. He actually disowned him when he was sixteen."

"If you are my niece, which I'm still not sure of, then you should probably come and meet the rest of my family."

"I thought you said you didn't have any family left?"

"Well, they're not related to me, but I consider them family. Though I would never tell them that. You can meet them as long as you promise me that you didn't kill Petty Officer Ryan."

"Why would I kill him. I told you, I considered him a brother."

"Okay, come with me then. I will need a DNA test done, but for now I'll play along."

"You wouldn't say that if you didn't believe it," Jackie said, walking out the door

~~~ncis~~~

In the bullpen...

"I'm telling you guys, there's something up with that Alison girl," Tony said to the other agents.

"Tony, she's fifteen. Do you really think she could kill someone and then use his blood to write a message on the wall. Now get back to work," McGee said.

"I am working, McGoo, and you never know. Some teenagers have sick minds."

'Not this one, Tony," Gibbs said as he walked in and stood in the middle of all of the desks.

"Boss! Did you get a confession out of her?"

"Yes, Agent DiNozzo, he did get a confession out of me. Just not the kind you would think."

"What's she doing down here and how many kinds of confessions are there?"

"DiNozzo, be quiet and listen up! Everyone I would like you to meet Jaclyn Angelica Ara Coeli Gibbs," Gibbs said in a quiet, hesitant voice.

"I'm his niece if you guys are wondering,"spoke up Jaclyn, amused at their shocked expressions. "I know, I know, 'Wait! I thought Gibbs didn't have an family left after his dad died' but I'm here aren't I, and he is going to do a DNA test just to be sure."

Ziva was the first to recover from the shock and went over to Jackie."Pleased to meet you. I'm Ziva David. I can not wait to get to know you."

"I'm Agent Timothy McGee, though most people just call me McGee,"he said, shaking her hand.

"And you already know me, but I'm glad you're not a psychopathic killer!"

Gibbs watched the greetings of his agents and after a few seconds said."Okay people! We still have a killer on the lose. McGee did you find that file I asked for?"

"No, Boss, not yet."

"Jaclyn, where was Sam and Brianna's house. I need the case of your friend and her family."

"Call me Jackie please, and it was in Sunbury, Pennsylvania. I can tell you the case number if that would help."

McGee typed in murder cases in Sunbury and was about to ask for the case number when it popped up. He opened the file and was immediately sickened.

"Did you find it McGee?"Gibbs asked.

"Yes, Boss. I did."

"Put it on the big screen."

McGee did as he was told and everyone gathered around the screen. When the crime scene photos were put up, Jaclyn slowly closed her eyes as the memories came flooding back.

***flashback***

She was sitting on the living room floor with Sam. Today he was teaching her how to take apart and reassemble a gun. When someone knocked on the door, she jumped up to get it.

"Hello, may I speak with Sam Aries please?" a Sunbury police officer asked.

"Sure, let me get him. One moment please,"she said. Then she took off running for the living room."Sam! Sam!"

"What is it, Jacks?"

"There's an officer at the door. He wants to talk to you."

"Okay, let me go see what he wants. You go up to your room now."

"Yes, sir,"she said quickly and then ran for her room. As soon as she got out of sight of them though she ran for the back door and snuck around to the front. She saw Sam walking with the officer and quietly followed them. She started to remember some of the things around her and soon realized the way to her friend Ellie's house. Immediately she started getting a bad feeling and when she saw a bunch of flashing lights in front of her best friends house her fears were confirmed.

In a dreamlike trance she slipped unnoticed by the police officers and made her way into the house. She walked into the kitchen and immediately closed her eyes at the sight, but it didn't matter. The images of the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Carson would be forever imprinted in her mind. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Mr. Peter Carson was slumped over the kitchen table with one of the kitchen knives still in his hand. His hand that held the knife was broke along with the wrist and his throat had been cut. Mrs. Anna Carson's throat had also been cut and she was sprawled out on the floor.

Ever so slowly she walked past the bodies and into the hallway. Halfway down the hallway the hidden trap door was ajar and inside lay the body of the Carson's two year old son, Kyle. Like his parents, his throat had been cut, too. It looked as if the parents had tried to hide Kyle but the door had been found and forced open. Still Jackie walked on though later she would regret that decision, for what she saw next was worse than all else. She walked into the family room at the back of the house and saw her best friend's body laying on the table, throat sliced like the rest. On the wall behind her, written in her blood, was a message that read:"You see what happens when you get close to people, Jackie? They die! All of this will stop if you come to me. No one else will have to die." Reading this, Jackie stumbled back and hit the bookshelf, causing everyone in the room to look at her. When Sam saw that she was there, he made his way towards her. Before he got to her, she ran. She didn't know how long she had been running, or where she was for she was blinded by tears. Tears for her best friend and her family, tears of guilt because she was the reason they were killed, and tears of hatred for that man who was destroying her life.

***End Flashback***

Jackie came back to the present to see Gibbs starring at her with a mixed expression of sorrow and worry."Jackie, I-"

"I'm fine. I-I just don't want to talk about it." Gibbs looked at her for a few minutes longer taking in her tear stained face and horror filled eyes, he then asked McGee if he could put up the pictures of Aries' death. McGee complied and put the pictures up on the screen next to the Carson case. Jackie slowly walked up to the screen as she stared at the pictures. Tears slowly started to make there way down her face, creating fresh tracks. If any of the other agents noticed she was crying they ignored it. Ryan was killed in the same way as the Carson's, his throat being cut. There was even a message on the wall in Ryan's blood. It read:"You should have come to me."

"It's all my fault," Jackie murmured.

"I think we're dealing with a serial killer. I want this guy found yesterday! Tony, I want you to find Robert and his family and bring them here right now, they might be targets to. Ziva, go with him. McGee, I want those bodies identified now. I don't care what you have to do," Gibbs said. Then he turned to Jackie and softened his voice."Jackie, I need you to tell me anything you know."

"No, Gibbs, no, please don't make me. I can't! I've tried to forget it all, please. I'm begging you, I don't think I can do it! If I do, he might kill you, too."

For a second Gibbs saw before him a frightened young girl. He knew what he was asking was of her was hard, so he relented."Okay, I won't make you do it now, but without you telling us this might never get solved."

"The last time I told someone, they ended up dead."

"Fine, come with me. We need to go to Abby's lab.

~~~ncis~~~

Abby's lab...

Gibbs and Jackie walked out of the elevator to hear the loud noise of Abby's music. Gibbs walked in and turned it off. Immediately Abby looked up from whatever she was doing and saw Gibbs.

"Gibbs! How are you? Why are you down here so early, I've barely had time to start, its not fair!"As Abby paused for breath she noticed Jackie for the first time."Who's that? Why is she down here? Were you going to tell me that she was here? Are you going to introduce us?"

"Abbs, calm down. I was about to tell you. I didn't come down here to see what you've gotten so far, I need you to do something for me."

"What boss man?'

"This is Jackie. I need you to run a DNA test on us. She claims to be my niece."

"Ooh! Gibbs! You never told me you had a niece!"

"I didn't know until a few minutes ago. Will you run the tests or not?"

"Of coarse, any thing for you! Now, Jackie is it, come over here for a minute."

Five minutes later Jackie and Gibbs were back on their way to the elevator when Gibbs phone rang.

"Gibbs...ya, Duck, I'll be right there."

~~~ncis~~~

Autopsy...

Gibbs walked into the lab and went straight over to the body."What do you got for me, Duck?"

"Mr. Palmer, would you please run these to Abby. Ah, Jethro, how are you?"

"Would be better if I could catch this guy. Tell me something I can use."

"Well, there's not much I'm afraid. Ryan was a very healthy young man, it's a shame he died for he had a while yet to live. I found an unique substance around his mouth, my guess is that it was a glove that our killer was wearing. I've sent it to Abby for tests. The wound looks as if it was made from any old hunting knife. '

"Is that Ryan?" said a quiet voice from behind Gibbs.

Gibbs slowly turned around to see Jackie behind him, he had forgotten that she had come with him. Before he could say anything, though, Ducky spoke up behind him.

"Do I know you from somewhere? Your face looks very familiar. Oh, I know! You're that little girl that used to come around with Director Shepard, aren't you? What was your name? Oh, yes, Jaclyn!"

"Yes, Doctor Mallard, that was me. Its good to see you again. May I see Ryan's body please?"

"What do you mean you used to come around with Jenny?"

"When I was about nine or ten, I met Ms. Shepard. She took care of me for a while and then helped me get to Italy where I stayed for a few years with some friends. That was before I knew that you were my uncle. Now will you let me see Ryan?"

"Are you sure you're ready for it?"

"Yes."

"Okay, then." So Jackie walked up to the body and, while Gibbs and Ducky quietly conversed behind her, stared at her friend, no her brother. Looking at him she felt tears starting to well behind her eyes and she quickly blinked them away."I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have died. It's all my fault!" she whispered.

"Come on, Jackie, lets go."

"Please forgive me," she said and then let Gibbs lead her away.

When they were in the elevator, Gibbs phone rang."Gibbs...what do you mean they're gone!...I want them found now, we'll be right there!" he hung up and then turned to Jaclyn."Jackie, Robert and his family have been taken hostage. A note was found saying you had twelve hours to find them or else they die."
