Chapter 2
Both Ginji and Ban were thrown into the back of Gibbs' car with handcuffs.
"Ow!" Ginji exclaimed.
"Damn that bastard for tossing us in here!" Ban yelled.
"I can't believe we're suspects in Colonel Hodge's murder!" Ginji exclaimed.
"Shut up Ginji, we didn't do anything, we're just a recovery service who traveled overseaseas to help someone, all right?" Ban asked.
Ginji nodded.
Outside, Gibbs watched DiNozo and McGee walk out of the naval base and when they got closer he slapped both of them in the back of the head.
"You idiots, how could you two let suspects run off?" Gibbs asked.
"Sorry boss, something happenedand distracted us." McGee told him.
"What kind of something?" Gibbs asked.
"Well…" DiNozo started.
"Um..." McGee started.
"Spit itt out probies!"
"The thing is that one of the guys sent out lightning bolts from his body and caused the lights go out in the office." McGee told him.
"Is this true?" Gibbs asked.
Both of them nodded.
"Dinozo, have you borrowed comic books ffrom McGee, because it seems to me you have!" Gibbs exclaimed and went back to his car.
"Maybe I should get off of my comic books." McGee said.
"Yeah." DiNozo agreed and they got in their car and left the scene and followed Gibbs back to headquarters.
Back at headquarters, Gibbs had Ginji and Ban put into the interrogation room to wait for their interrogation session.
"So, a thirty-six year old naval colonel that searved in Iraq for a year got killed in his office. There seems to be only two suspects right now and they are in the Gibbs room." DiNozo said.
"Two suspects? Shouldn't there be any other suspects?" Ziva asked.
"Not by what we found in the office, we only found these two guys in the office when we went to investigate." DiNozo answered.
"We think they were involved somehow even though one of them was able to distract us by shooting lightning bolts." McGee said.
Everyone started laughing and Gibbs came from behind and slapped them both and yelled, "I told you not to mention that."
"Sorry boss." DiNozo said.
"Yeah, really." McGee said.
"Wheather those two boys you found are involved in the murder or not, Jethro, I did find something that was the murder weapon in the qutopsy." Ducky said.
"Which is?" Gibbs asked.
"A bullet lodged in the center of his heart. Whoever murdered this man carried a gun." Ducky explained.
"I see, I will question these guys if they carried any weapons at all." Gibbs said and went back to the interrogation room.
Ban was silent while Ginji was sweating and shaking nervously.
"So, you two were found at the crime scene with the body, tell me, ehrtr ertr you guys before it happened?" Gibbs asked.
"We were in town asking people if they found something that belonged to the colonel." Ban answered.
"Which is?" Gibbs asked.
"It was a medal that he got from his family as a father's day gift while he was in Iraq, we had to recover it and hand give it back to him." Ban answered.
"Are you sure you guys didn't do it?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes sir, please don't kill us!" Ginji exclaimed as he sunk in his chair.
"Who called you here?" Gibbs asked.
"The colonel did from his office for us, which we flew ffrom Japan to here."
"What do you two do in Japan I may ask?" Gibbs asked.
"My partner and I are a recovery service that gets anything back with a high success rate known as the Get Backers. If you don't believe us, if it's possible, can we make a deal with you?" Ban asked.
"Ban! What are you doing?" Ginji asked.
"Shut up Ginji!"
"What sort of deal? Is it to deport you two or something?" Gibbs asked.
"No, it's to prove our innocence of course, we join your team by doing our job and help you guys solve this case and retrieve the item so we can give it to the family and when we do find the item, we're set free of all possible charges." Ban said.
"Hmmm, I need to bring this up to the director to see what she says, in the mean time, you can join McGee, DiNozo, and Abby in the forensics lab. So follow me." Gibbs said and led the both of them to the forensics lab where McGee and DiNozo were waiting on Abby's findings.
McGee turned and saw them and said. "Boss, Abby hasn't found anything, why are you here!?"
"I had to drop these two off while I go off and talk to the director about something. Make sure they don't do anything like so-called shoot lightning bolts." Gibbs said and left the lab.
"Grreat, he still doesn't believe me about those lightning bolts." McGee said.
"What about lightning?" Abby asked as she turned from her computer.
Ban and Ginji's jaws dropped when they saw her.
"We found these two at the scene and one of them…nevermind!" McGee stopped.
"Uh huh." She said and then looked at Ban and Ginji. "Looks like Gibbs definitely has gotten some fresh meat."
"And drooling meat at that, looks like your looks struck them Abby." DiNozo said.
Both Ban and Ginji ran to her.
"Hello, I'm Ban Midou and this is my partner Ginji Amano and we were wondering if you're free?"
"I'm busy right now fellas, why not go outside and play while I do my work!" she said and then turned back to the computer.
The both of them groaned.
"Nice try you two, maybe one of you will get her next time." McGee said.
"Tony, get Gibbs on the phone, I just got this guy's identity!" Abby exclaimed.
"Getting right on it." DiNozo said.
In the director's office, Gibbs explained the situation with Ban and Ginji to her.
"So, you're saying that these two recovery service guys want to prove that they didn't commit the crime by joining us and helping us which will lead them to what they're recovering for the victim?" Jen asked.
"Yes, boss." He said.
"Very well, if they screw up, arrest them." She ordered him.
"Yes ma;am." He said and then his phone rang and answered it. "What is it DiNozo?"
"Abby found something." He told him.
"Good, hand the phone to her." Gibbs said and waited.
"Gibbs, I found the identity of the guy, he goes by the name of Maximillion Hodge. He was a lieutenant at the time he was in Iraq and then got promoted after he returned and did office work since then, so your little suspects here were right about one thing." Abby told him over the phone.
"There goes one part of their innocence, good work Abby." Gibbs said.
"There is more though, this guy has a family that lives near the basee, I will give DiNozo the location." Abby said.
"Good idea and have him take Ban and Ginji since they are working for us now."
"What!?"
"You heard me, they need more information about the colonel and pay condolences." Gibbs said and hung up.
Abby handed DiNozo the phone back and said, "Ban, Ginji, Tony, I have a job for you guys."
"I kind of over heard, all right Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, let's go!" DiNozo exclaimed as he walked out of the lab.
"What did you call me!?" Ban yelled.
"Now, now Ban, don't want to piss off Mr. DiNozo, do we?" Ginji asked.
"It's that Gibbs guy I'm worried about. But at least we get a chance to show who we really are." Ban said as he followed Dinozo and Ginji followed pursuit.
