McGee stood staring at the screen in front of him; the lights of the bull pen are all out, just the dim light of the screen illuminate Tim as he clicks to the next picture. Gibbs watches for the catwalk as McGee clicks to another picture and another and another. Knowing words will not aid the younger man he leaves to get a coffee for himself and for the troubled young man.

Till Tim had all 78: that number would haunt him he was sure.
Suddenly Tim stops and looks as Gibbs walks in from the elevator.
"I got it boss. The pattern what links these women together." McGee states with abhorrence.
"Here, you talk I'll listen Tim." Gibbs states taking Tim usual Chair. Tim looks at Gibbs then takes a sip of coffee, a look flashes across Tim's face of a second and Guts gut screams a warning.
"Every victim has something similar with Abby. Every. one." Is all Tim says before downing the Marine style coffee and walking out of the bull pen.
Gibbs looks at the list Tim wrote out. Things only he or some-one who intimately knows Abby could have known about were on this list. Hopes fears likes and loves, favourite items tastes and books. These women were killed because they shared something with Abby.
Abby.
Gibbs mind flashes back to something she told him in the interrogation that would haunt his days.
Black Mascara ran down her cheeks as she tried to look Gibbs in the face.
"I helped him I destroyed evidence Gibbs. I washed the blood from the back of his station wagon because he said it was fake blood from a friend's horror movie. And I believed him even through I know fake blood is just corn syrup and colouring maybe a little milk. I cleaned it like it was real blood because he wanted to know if I could get rid on any trace of "DNA" even though this was fake; and I did Gibbs I used my powers to help him and he killed people. I loved him and he killed people." Abby ranted now pacing the small room as Gibbs waited and watched.
"You know what else Gibbs I had to clean it at my house because he would never ever let me over to see his place I mean what kind of guy won't let you over to his house even after a year and a half! A killer apparently!" suddenly Abby stops and sits in front of Gibbs looking serious, "Wait Gibbs I never saw his house what if he has something from the girls there? I mean he might. I don't know." All the pain and doubt crash in a wave over Abb, The tears and confusion, sorrow and pain crash into her becoming too much. Ducky was called and had to sedate her.
A year and a half Andrew had been with Abby. 52 plus 26 is 78. He killed someone who was like Abby once a week while dating her. Abby never saw his house.
Gibbs Gut went in to overdrive as he suddenly realised McGee hadn't left the building.
Tony stood watching as Andrew over and over taunting him about the tattooed name and killing Abby's heart and soul turning her into some dark sick pet. Tim walks into observation.
Tim doesn't look right. Tony shakes it off, he been around this monster too long he tells himself.
"Gibbs said to take a break. I'll watch him." McGee States and without questioning it Tony bolts from the room putting as much ground between him and the man he wishes to kill.
Tim turns to the Audio technician in the room. "If you want a break I'll watch the equipment." Tim states causally.
The technician gladly takes the hint.
Tim smiles to himself as he leaves the observation room and walks into the interrogation room.
Tony walks into the bell pen dreaming of pizza or a hamburger Till Gibbs panicked voice rocked him.
"Tony what are you doing here?" Gibbs yelled.
"ummm, Boss, Tim told me you said he was to relive me?" Tony questions.
"No I didn't I sent Ziva." Gibbs states Grabbing his side arm praying he doesn't need it. Tony follows suit side arm drawn and dread settling in his gut.
Ziva walks the hall to relive Tony from watching the monster but as she rounds a corner she suddenly sees the elevator doors closing with McGee and Andrew inside. Ziva pulls her weapon seeing the blood trail from interrogation and not knowing who is injured, runs to take the stairs only to see Gibbs on the way down.
"Gibbs, Andrew and McGee are in the elevator, one is injured." Ziva states as she turns to follow the other men. Gibbs rounds the corner to see that the elevator is not moving.
Tim turns to Andrew who is smiling to himself as he flicks the emergency stop.
