-Okay wow. Max and Logan took a pretty huge lead for the time being, so I'm going to lean towards that. Thanks for all the comments and I hope you enjoy… Chapter 4: The Answer


No one on the team moved their eyes away from the man they knew as Tony. They were not sure to believe what they were just told, but the look on Tony's face proved Max right. He looked ashamed. He sat in his chair with four people towering over him and Max sitting by his side (a few feet away).

"Is that true?" Gibbs whispered panicking.

There was a long pause until he answered "…Yes" He said very weakly.

"You lied… about your life?" McGee spoke up.

"…Yes b-" He was interrupted.

"Who are you?!" Ziva looked as if she could cry.

Tony sighed and gave up on lying. "My name is Logan Cale, I was a cyber journalist, I do come from a wealthy family-"

"I'll say." Alec smiled at how rich Logan was.

"You can look the rest up." Tony continued.

McGee went straight to his computer to search this 'Logan Cale'. Many links and details came up.

"Whoa, how come I've never heard of him…you" McGee was shocked at all the information on him. How could he get away with this? McGee asked himself.

"You have, in a way." Logan said -I'm just going to call him Logan for now because I LVOE that name, and he is sort of acting like him.-

"What do you mean?" McGee asked.

"I know, and so does everyone else, that you are obsessed with Eyes Only."

"Yes. And?" Gibbs cut in.

Tony turned his attention from Gibbs back to McGee, and sighed. He is about to share the most secretive part of his life, only a few people knew about, two of them being in the room.

"…......I-I am…Eyes Only." Max and Alec starred at Logan in disbelief at how much he trusted these people.

"Ha, ha, ya right!" McGee held back from bursting up laughing.

"What?" Logan sighed.

"Oh, come on. You honestly want me to believe that you are the best computer hacker in the world?!"

"I can see how you wouldn't believe me. But it's true. Tony sucked at technology, but Logan was awe inspiring."

"One in the same." Gibbs took a step closer to Logan.

"It was part of my disguise. McGee remember that time I got rid of that virus you're your computer, to get $20, and you thought I was cheated?" McGee nodded, "I didn't cheat, I was fuzzing."

"Fuzzing?" Ziva finally spoke, but she made sure her question was not directed to 'Tony' but McGee.

"Or Fuzz Testing, it means to find a loophole in an item in the computer. How'd you-?" McGee answered, but was interrupted when he asked Logan a question.

"I told you, I'm Eyes Only." He didn't know how else to convince him.

"So, you're telling me, that you have been acting stupid all this time?!"

"…Yes."

"Well, you've done a good job of it." Gibbs was obviously pissed and Logan didn't blame him.

Logan looked at the ground. Usually Tony would joke about what Gibbs just said, but he knew it would be 1 in a million chance to keep his job. Abby came rushing in the squad room from her lab.

"What did I miss?!" she asked anyone who would answer, still running. "Who are you?" She asked Alec.

"Alec, I'm Maxes friend." Alec answered with a smile.

"So, you know Tony?"

Everybody paused and did not make eye contact with anyone. Abby tried to get McGee's attention by waving her hand in front of his face.

"Hello-o? What-did-I-miss?" She repeated.

McGee pulled Abby aside, and she let out a short scream because it scared her, McGee told her the whole story. Ziva, who looked like she was about to cry (or already was), she walked toward the bathrooms. All that was left at Tony's desk were Logan, Max, Alec, and Gibbs.

"Tony, come with me." Gibbs gestured him to follow. Logan got up, and carefully maneuvered is way around Max and followed Gibbs to the elevator. When they were both inside and the doors were closed, Gibbs hit the 'Emergency Stop' switch, and then the elevator jerked to a stop. Logan turned to Gibbs, just to feel a sudden sharp pain in the back of his head, he winced at the pain.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" Gibbs screamed in Logan's face. Logan kept his ground.

"Gibbs, it's a past life! It's in the past! It doesn't matter!"

"Of course it matters! How could you not tell me?!" Gibbs paces around the dark elevator then held his hand out to Logan. Logan looked at it confused. "Give me you badge and gun."

"Gibbs-"

"NOW!"

Logan lifted his badge from his belt and handed it to Gibbs. "Gun?" Gibbs asked

"It's in my desk; I'll leave it there when I leave." Logan looked slightly down at Gibbs.

"Continue…"

"Right, well I couldn't let anybody know, in case anybody I didn't want to find me, found me." He did as he was told.

"And who would that be?" Gibbs pushed further.

"I'm not going to lie to you-"

"-Well ya, DiNozzo, that would be a good idea."

Logan sighed then continued "A man named Ames White. He has tried to kill me a few times before. Eyes Only has made a lot of enemies."

"Including cops."

"Yes, including cops."

"So those people in there, Alec and Max who are they?"

"Old friends form my pre life."

"ya, you keep saying that. You and Max?"

"We…were in love." Logan looked to the floor.

"You left her?"

"We were drifting apart. We couldn't touch. The smallest brush of our DNA fibers touching, would kill me." Logan said softly.

Gibbs was so confused, he thought he was speaking metaphorically.

"What are you talking about?!"

A few moments later Logan explained the virus to Gibbs. How a lab called Manticore gave Max a virus that was specially altered to his DNA to kill him. He told him about all the close calls he's had and how he got blood transfusions from Transgenics to save his life.

"So…Max and Alec are…-" Gibbs started.

"Transgenics…yes." Logan Finished.
