Lincoln slammed his fist into the door, "where is he?" he exclaimed angrily.

Jane sat at the computer talking to various contacts unconcerned as the two Burrows men stalking around her. Finally she turned to them, "Apparently he disappeared before the Company's eyes, they are looking for him as well" she said. "Big help" Lincoln snarled.

Aldo however looked curious as well as concerned, "So there is another party involved now?" Aldo asked Jane who nodded "We have been getting hints of that already" she reminded Aldo.

"Is there any trace of LJ at all?" Lincoln asked finally starting to calm down. "There may be something, someone thinks they saw him get on a plane to DC, the description matches and he was carrying a backpack he had picked up somewhere." "Get onto our contacts there then" Aldo said stating the obvious. Jane nodded and got back to work.

Michael knocked on LJ's door, "Come in" Lj called.

Michael pushed open the door, "all settled?" he asked.

LJ nodded "as well as I can be for now, Aunt Sara said she would take me shopping tomorrow."

Michael nodded "Good, would you like to come downstairs then? My boss has just arrived and she would like to talk to you." LJ nodded and they went downstairs together. Michael stopped at the doorway just as another redhead came through the front door and hugged Sara and then they both immediately began chatting about the baby.

"Getting clucky Director?" Michael asked coming forward with LJ, "lets just say I admire a woman that can go through a pregnancy because I certainly can't" The woman laughed in reply.

LJ smiled as Michael introduced them, "LJ this is my boss Jenny Shepherd, Director this is my nephew LJ Burrows." They shook hands as Michael peered out the front door "Who have you brought with you?" he asked her.

"The three agents we agreed on and McGee." At the mention of McGee's name Michael's head snapped back towards her, "Tony and Ziva are keeping an eye on any incoming flights to DC" Jenny explained, "I thought McGee would be more useful here." Michael nodded and waited for McGee to come in before shutting the door behind them and leading them towards the living room.

"Alright" Jenny took a deep breath once everyone was settled and Agent McGee had set up the recording equipment, "I know this is going to be difficult LJ, but we would like to know exactly what happened in Chicago, any details you can give us may help even more to bring them down." Jenny said.

LJ nodded he had known this moment would come and was glad to finally have the chance to tell his story properly. He took a deep breath and when he felt Sara's arm around his shoulders he began to speak.

The agents and Sara listened closely as LJ told of how he had gone with his mother and stepfather to a cabin in the woods like every year, and then two men with guns had come to the door asking for LJ, how his stepfather had realized they were serious and tried to stop them, how they had laughed as they shot his stepfather, how his mother screamed at LJ to run as she was cut down and then LJ ran into the woods where the cops found him hours later and slapped handcuffs on him straight away.

LJ was then interrogated for hours as the feds tried to get him to admit to murders he didn't commit and then he spent three weeks in jail without a trial or even a hearing before suddenly being let out this morning for no apparent reason.

The room was silent for a moment before Jenny asked "Did you ever hear any mention of something called the Company?"
LJ nodded "This morning I heard some agents mention something about it but I didn't catch much" LJ frowned "I did ask why I was being released and they just said they hoped my Dad and grandfather loved me enough to come and get me, it sounds like they did something to really piss these bastards off," LJ grinned, "I hope it was good."

Michael frowned "you said Grandfather, did you mean mine and Lincoln's father?" he asked.

"I guess so" LJ shrugged.

"What do you know about him?" Jenny asked Michael, "Nothing" Michael replied "Apart from his name he left before I was born, apparently I'm a bit overdue some research on him."

Sara looked at LJ, "Dinner is about an hour away, why don't you go have a shower we can talk more after dinner."

"Ok" LJ got up and headed upstairs.

"When did you last have contact with your brother?" Jenny asked Michael

"When I was fourteen, LJ was just eighteen months old, Linc was not doing well in those days." Michael replied.

"People can change" McGee offered as he packed up the recording equipment. "They can" Michael agreed "But it would take an almighty kick up the ass for Lincoln to change."

"Excuse me" They all turned back to LJ standing in the doorway. "I just remembered something; can you access my email safely?"

They all looked curious, "Why do you want to do that?" Michael finally asked,

"Because I took a photo of one of the guys that killed my mom, I'm not sure how good the photo is though." LJ answered.

Michael smiled "You have a good head on your shoulders LJ, Let's have a look, I'm sure Abby can make the photo a bit clearer if we need to."

"Not your case Michael" Jenny reminded him but she was smiling.

Five minutes later they were all smiling as the photo came up. "That is him" LJ stated.

Michael grinned the picture was as clear as day "LJ you are brilliant" he said putting an arm around LJ's shoulders and ruffling his hair affectionately.

I know it is ages since I started this but let me know if you want me to keep going, I know a couple of people have put this story on story alerts but let me know what you like and don't like!
