The italics are just me speaking to the readers. Just FYI
Tony and Tim brought the woman to the conference room and left her for Gibbs. They walked back to their desks to see Ziva typing vigorously on her computer.
"Goodness, what did that keyboard ever do to you, David?" Tony teased. He plopped down in his desk chair and rested his feet on the desk.
"How's Aya doing?" McGee asked Ziva.
"Yea, you didn't kill her yet did you?" Tony said smartly. Ziva glared at Tony.
"She is fine, still down in Abby's lab, I haven't heard from them." Ziva told McGee. The team went back to work.
"I found out where our dead marine lives" Ziva spoke up after a while.
"Tell Gibbs that." McGee said just as Gibbs entered the bullpen.
"Ziva, yes you can go, take Tony with you" Ziva smiled, grabbing her things and walking next to Tony to the elevator.
As the elevator doors shut, Tony took the car keys from Ziva, "I'm driving" he said.
"McGee, go help Abby process the evidence she has now and the evidence she gets from Sergeant Jones apartment." Gibbs told the last agent in the bullpen.
"On it Boss" Tim said heading for an elevator.
"McGee," the boss said stopping Timothy, "Don't forget the Caf-Pow". McGee nodded.
Abby's Lab once again…
Aya rolled around in the chair still, talking about the case with Abby. Abby would explain how the machines and computers work, and Aya would listen and try to help. She was a second pair of hands that did come in handy.
McGee walked into the lab, with a big cup of Caf-Pow in hand.
"McGee!" Abby said excitedly when he walked into the lab. Aya sat there, not speaking a word in front of the field agent.
"Hey Abby, hi Aya" He greeted. Aya nodded to him. Abby took the Caf-Pow from him and took a giant gulp of it.
"Aya, I have explained all my computers to you, but not the Caf-Pow. McGee! You didn't bring one for Aya? Luckily I always have an extra in my fridge." Abby rambled. Aya smiled taking the extra Caf-Pow from her.
"Abby, don't you think that is a little much for her?" McGee asked, watching as the teen girl drank that caffeinated beverage.
"Hey, she needs to have energy too" Abby argued. McGee looked at Aya one more time before telling her what Gibbs told him to do.
"Ok, well Gibbs told me to come help you process the evidence. Ziva and Tony went to the marine's apartment and will have more for you soon." Tim told the happy scientist.
Just as Abby was about to speak, the computer beeped getting a hit on the facial recognition. She dialed Gibbs' desk phone to tell him what she had found.
"Gibbs! We got a hit on the facial recognition! His name is Michael Young" Abby told Gibbs.
"Wait, Boss that is the wife's husband" McGee added.
"Mrs. Young said he has been at the air force base for the last month" Gibbs said, "McGee, get up here and find out where Michael is" He ordered. McGee immediately left the lab as Gibbs hung up.
"This is really good" Aya said sipping the Caf-Pow. Abby smiled.
…..
They continued around the lab, going through the evidence they had so far. Abby had let Aya help her while McGee was bringing in someone with Gibbs. They had blood, no fingerprints, and a hair sample that matched the victim. The only reason for the murder was that the victim and the wife were having an affair.
It was already around three o'clock when Ziva and Tony got back. They brought his computer, but that was all. There was no sign of a struggle, or anything out of place. No one knew where the victim was tortured and murdered. And at the moment NCIS was getting a warrant to check the Young's house.
Interrogation, Ziva and Gibbs…Watching, Tim, Tony and Aya….. Aya's POV
It took a little begging to get Ziva to ask Gibbs if I could watch the interrogation. I had to identify him anyway, so Gibbs let me watch. Although I wasn't comfortable standing next to Tim and Tony, I really wanted to watch.
Abby is actually really nice and fun. She taught me all about her machines, it's funny she named them though. That Caf-Pow stuff is addictive too.
Anyway, I didn't identify the man; he was the one that hit me.
It started with Gibbs asking questions, and Ziva standing behind him. It continued then Gibbs got mad, which was quite terrifying, he mentioned 'the girl you hit in the head', aka me, and the man denied ever doing such a thing. Gibbs said I identified him, the man said it wasn't him. Gibbs got angrier and said 'hope you have a good lawyer' and left the room to Ziva.
He entered this room with Tony, Tim and I.
"Are you positive that this was the man that hit you?" Gibbs asked me. I nodded. And he left with Tony and Tim following him.
Nobody's POV
"Boss, do think he could have a brother?" McGee asked.
"I don't know McGee, why don't you find out? You and Tony, get back to work. Find out everything you can about him" Gibbs demanded.
"Where are you going, Boss?" Tony asked.
"To talk to the wife" He answered.
Ziva entered the bullpen, and to her desk. After about twenty minutes of silence Gibbs came back.
"What do we have?" He asked. The team gathered around the screen to share what they had found.
"Mr. Young was at the air force base this morning, he couldn't have hit Aya. And the wife was telling the truth, her husband couldn't have murdered the marine because he was at the air force base day and night working none stop for the past month." Ziva informed the team.
"He does indeed have a brother, twin actually. We didn't catch it before because the brother, named Robert Young, is identical and not in the army, air force, or navy. He is in fact a butcher and could be a very likely suspect." McGee added.
"Bring him in, all three of you, go" Gibbs told them. Half way to the elevator, Gibbs called out "Ziva! Where is Aya?" Ziva's eyes went wide.
"Go!" Gibbs told her. Ziva jumped into the elevator before the doors closed. Gibbs went back to the viewing room for interrogation, but Aya wasn't there, he searched the brake room, and then went down to Abby's lab, she wasn't there either. Gibbs found out what Abby had while he was there.
"Gibbs! I was just about to call you! I found emails sent between the suspect and his brother. His brother was telling him about his wife cheating and all sorts of threatening things." Abby told Gibbs.
"Thanks Abs" Gibbs said, and added "Have you seen Aya?"
"No, why?" Abby asked.
"Thanks" He said, then kissed Abby on the head and left. Abby was left a little worried about Aya, but she went back to work.
Gibbs, headed up to the Directors office (I'm keeping is Jenny Shepherd, sorry if someone disagrees but it goes better with the story and I prefer her over Vance. Hope no one is offended).
Aya's POV
Everyone kind of cleared out of there quick, I went back to the bathroom after interrogation, nobody noticed and I seriously had to go after drinking that whole Caf-Pow. Then went to the bullpen, nobody was there. One minute my every move was being watched the next, everyone forgot. Cool!
I sat at Ziva's desk for a few minutes and got bored, so I got up and walked around the building. People gave me strange looks when I passed them, probably because it was a strange girl walking around barefoot without an agent or someone. I saw a door that said Director on it, so I decided to check that out. There was a desk outside of the door, but there was nobody around.
When I walked into the room, there was a red haired lady sitting at a desk doing paper work. She looked up and saw me, and smiled. I stepped into the room, looking around, letting the door close behind me.
"Hello" The woman said. I waved to her before sitting on the couch in the far corner. I lie down, but put me in view so I could see her. She laughed softly, and took a break from her work.
"Are you the Director of NCIS?" I asked. She didn't seem like a threat, so I will speak freely to her.
"Yes, I am." She said smiling, "And you are?"
"I'm Aya" I told her simply. This couch is comfortable; I see why humans spend endless days on them. (This would be me, the author, sometimes, but I have a fast metabolism, so it's all good).
"Well hello Aya, it's very nice to meet you." She replied.
"You too Director"
"So what brought you here to NCIS?" the Director asked.
"More like who, one of your agents, well kind of all of them. Don't freak though, I am not a suspect, more like a witness" I told her, laughing a little. She smiled at me.
"Better a witness then a suspect" She said, I laughed and nodded in agreement.
"I thought for sure you would already know I am here. I would think everyone would have heard from one another" I said, more to myself then the Director.
"What do you mean?" She wondered.
"Ziva, ya know, one of your agents, pulled me out of the water and saved me this morning" I told the woman in charge. She had a shocked expression on her face. It's funny saying she saved me, when she kind of tore me from my home. I would have woken up, and swam away from shore, not climb onto it.
"She did, well I will have to talk to her later then. Where is she now?" The Director asked me.
"She went with Tony, and Tim to bring in a murder suspect." I informed her. She nodded.
"And Gibbs? Does he know where you are?" She asked.
I shook my head, "I don't think so, I think they all got so caught up in the case that I was forgotten about. I just gave myself a tour of the building." She laughed quietly.
As she was about to speak Gibbs burst through the door. He paused when he saw me sitting on the couch. He smiled a little.
"Hello, Special Agent Gibbs, Aya here was just catching me up on today's events." The Director told him, smiling.
"I was just coming to tell you that, and that Aya snuck away. Come on Aya" Gibbs demanded.
"Bye Director!" I said following Gibbs out of the room. She waved to me as I was leaving. I followed Gibbs back to the bullpen where he stopped suddenly, making me almost run into him.
"Sit, and don't move" Gibbs said kindly, pointing to Ziva's desk. I sighed, and sat down.
"Can I have something to do? I drank a whole Caf-Pow, I am defiantly not tired" I asked, Gibbs smiled when I mentioned the Caf-Pow. He grabbed a pencil and a few pieces of paper and set them on the desk in front of me.
"Draw" He said before walking away. The way he just did that made me feel like a little kid, that I'm not; I'm fifteen, almost sixteen.
