Chapter Two: Time To Start Letting Go
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing : (
I was the first one to walk out of the house with the rest of the team following behind be. In my head I was running through all that would have to be done to analyze the murder. McGee was calling Abbey to tell her about the murder and that we would have bullets for her to test, and a possible murder weapon for her to lift prints off of.
Once I was outside near the van, but still a good distance away, I could hear Bella's musical laugh sounding off through the shrill morning air. Apparently everyone else heard it to. We had all stopped at the hood of the van, listening in on the conversation.
"So your dad's the chief of police and yet he doesn't know that you work for the government?" A boy asked. I was thinking that it might have been Edward, he was supposed to come in today. Ducky probably picked him up on his way here. Bella's laugh slowly died down as she composed herself.
"Well yes, he thinks that I work at Newton's. I have this strict policy with him that if he needs something while I'm at work, he has to call. He never really need's anything though, hasn't had a real interest in me sense I was fourteen." You could easily hear the sadness in her voice and I could just picture the blank stare on her face that she got when she talked about her dad.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know." Edward said and there was a soft riffle of fabric. I could feel the tension radiating off of Gibes. I think that everyone else could feel it to because we all turned to face him.
He had almost a killer look on his face. Ever sense Bella got here, we became her second family. Gibes had completely replaced her real father, because he actually cared for her, unlike Charlie. We all only knew her for about four or so years, and even in that short amount of time, we couldn't stand to see her grow up. Even though she could still work with us, we couldn't baby her like we used to. We had to let go. Out of everyone on the team, we new that it would be the hardest for Gibes.
My thoughts were jerked back to the present by Bella's next words. "The worlds gone all topsie terbie. When we were kids, it was a nicer place, almost everyone was friends. In our grandparents time everyone got along. Now…all that anyone ever thinks about is who can kill who first.
"When I first got here I did some inside research on the mafia. All against Gibes' better judgment of course, but in the end I ended up helping the team figure out a case. Even though the only real reason I did the research was because of my fascination with the mafia and the fact that I finely had had the connections to get the information." She sighed, there was a slight pause. "Do you want to know a secret," She asked, sounding more chipper.
"Sure what is it," Edward asked sounding interested.
"And you can't tell anyone…." There was a slight pause. She was probably waiting for him to confirm his answer. "Awhile back I go Charlie to sing a cuple papers, But I made him sing a different one than he thought he was singing."
There was a long pause,…a little to long, but I held everyone back. This was getting interesting, and Tony thought the same thing as me.
"You got a tattoo," Edward chocked out. "Of a Sig Sauer." Right now he sounded very shocked.
"No, no , no. Not just an ordinary Sig Sauer. My Sig Sauer, 'The Poison'."
There was some more rustaling, she was probably showing him her gun. Bella was in love with her gun. For her fifteenth birthday Abbey got her some special paint so that she could make her gun look better. Bells is such an amazing artist, Gibes even promised her that they would frame the gun and hang it on the wall.
I knew that Gibes was about to blow any second. Quickly I ran to the back of the car while Tony and McGee held Gibes back.
"Bells, run," Didn't have to tell that girl twice. She was gone like a flash of lightning. I hope she doesn't trip, I thought to myself. Turning I faced the boy sitting in the van. "Where was the tattoo?"
"Just below her hip."
"Run, and by the way,…Gibes runs fast." After those last three words he was gone like a shot after Bella. In the distance I could see him catch up to her. Five seconds later they disappeared over the horizon and Gibes blew past me after them.
The rest of the team walked up behind me and Tony leaned on my shoulder. Hitting him off me, causing him to stumble to the ground, I turned to face Ducky.
"Get his gun," I asked him.
"No,…but we took all his bullets out." Everyone started laughing. I could Just imagine Gibes trying to shoot them and finding no bullets in his gun. Wish I was there to see it.
I don't really like leaving long authors notes, so I just have to say….
I know this chapter is short, but I wrote it in about thirty minutes. I'll have the next chapter up by the end of this weekend.
