Thief

Part 4

"You okay?" Nate asked his passenger. Tim nodded. "This is a problem. Guys, go back to the hotel." Nate said over the coms.

Once they reached the room in the hotel, Tim briefed the team on what happened.

"I'm going with you," Elliot stated.

"I don't want them hurt." Tim said back.

"I'm not going to hurt them, just subdue them a little, enough for us to get away if they see you again." Tim relented to that request.

"What about Billings? Do they have him in custody?" Nate asked. Tim mentally cursed. They might tell about him. It would blow the whole con and not get Billings convicted because of entrapment. There is no official undercover assignment, which has to be assigned by the director himself. Although, Vance might do something about that.

"Yeah, he must have been too clear in that video I sent Abby."

Flashback…

"Hey Hardison, can I borrow your laptop?" Tim asked.

"Sure, go ahead man," Hardsion responded.

Tim quickly made use of the laptop. He uploaded the video to be ready to sent. He made sure that no one could trace it back to this computer before sending it anonymously. That should help his team out a bit.

End Flashback…

"Anyways, I have to get to the club. I still have to manage it," Tim said.

"I'll go with you," Elliot said.

"Parker, Hardison, I need you both to do something for me."

-X-

Gibbs mentally cursed. He wanted to hit something. He wondered when the hell McGee was able to run so quickly. The only clue they had was this Michael Billings. He was curious as to why McGee was working for him or dealing with him for that matter. Right now, he was just about to ask those same questions. He waltzed into the interrogation room while making Tony head out to watch in observation or do whatever. He sat down and placed a file on the table, beginning to skim through it.

"May I inquire as to why I'm here, Agent Gibbs?" Billings asked. Gibbs looked for certain signs, but could not find any.

"You may. Who was that person standing outside your office?" Gibbs asked. He specifically did not tell Billings the name because if something else was going on, then he would have given it away.

"Ah, you must have run into my new head of Technology, Lucien Pierce. Recommendable, I'm glad to have hired him."

"I see."

"Does this meeting have to do with that deceased corporeal? Lucien said that he would have that matter cleared up in a short amount of time. Is he involved in this?"

"You could say that."

-X-

Tim hurried typed a bunch of mumbo jumbo that Hardison only knew half of, but the rest did not see what was special about it. All they knew was that he hacked into the NCIS database to check into matters that concerned them and Billings.

"Okay Tim do your stuff," Nate stated. Tim nodded and proceeded to do as told. When they finished the group split in pairs. Michael Billings was hosting a party and they wanted to drop by and take a look.

-X-

Elliot sighed as they attended this party. He posed as Lucien Pierce's bodyguard. He was also counting how many bodies were there should he have need to dispose of them. ON the side, he was looking out for his cousin. His cousin has a knack for getting into trouble. He glanced over at Nate and Tara whom he acknowledged. Parker came up to them, holding a tray with food.

"I've marked all the entrances and exits," she stated as Tim picked up a cracker.

"Bodyguards are all over the place. I'm still counting," Elliot said.

"We're not leaving until then." Nate said over the coms.

"Guys, we've got a problem. To your right." Tara stated.

The three looked over to see three someones they did not want to see. Tim mentally cursed and wondered what they were doing here.

"What are they doing here? Damn."

Flashback…

"Ah, you must have run into my new head of Technology, Lucien Pierce. Recommendable, I'm glad to have hired him."

"I see."

"Does this meeting have to do with that deceased corporeal? Lucien said that he would have that matter cleared up in a short amount of time. Is he involved in this?"

"You could say that."

Billings took out a pen and paper and wrote something down, handing it to Gibbs along with three invitations.

"This is the address where I am hosting a business party. I invited Lucien too. You may come along only if you do not cause a commotion. Bad for business."

End Flashback…

"Kay, I need you guys to cover me. We'll have to cut this short. I'll have all the details recorded. Now we need to go. I'll let Mr. Billings that I need to go." With that Lucien walked over to Billings who looked bored of the company he was currently with. Lucien approached him. "Mr. Billings?" Lucien got his attention.

"Ah, Lucien. Gentlemen, this is the man I was telling you about that saved me millions of dollars and gave me billions more. Lucien Pierce," Billings introduced him.

"Hello, I'm sorry Mr. Billings but I must go. I have an emergency that came up."

"That is unfortunate. Well I guess I will see you at work tomorrow. Good night."

Tim excused himself and was heading straight for Elliot, only to see Gibbs heading his way. Tony and Ziva were out of his peripheral vision. Tim quickly changed direction, heading for the outside roof. The party was on the top floor of the building so it was going to be a long drop.

"Parker, is the line ready?" Tim asked as he made it to the roof quickly. Gibbs was still behind him.

"Ready!" Parker called out a few feet away from him. Tim unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his gear. He took the hook and hooked himself up.

"Good job Parker. I like the way this feels. It's comfortable, especially with the supports, here, here, and here," Tim commented to the gear he had on. Parker mumbled a thank you, with a faint blush on her cheeks. "So first one to the bottom?" Tim challenged. Parker grinned.

"You're on pal."

"McGee!" Gibbs called out running towards them.

"That's are cue! Go! Yahoo!" Tim stated running and jumping off the building. Parker followed in tune.

"Yahoo!" she yelled out too.

Gibbs paused at the edge of the building. He thought he had enough time since McGee had spotted him, Tony, and Ziva. He quickly made a call to Tony's phone.

"DiNozzo! You and David hurry down, McGee is headed that way!" he said before running down too.

-X-

Tim and Parker were laughing as they made it in the car. The other three were looking at them questioningly, then Tara and Nate looked at Elliot who gave 'don't ask me' look.

Parker bit her lip. "So is he really your ex-boyfriend?"

Tim laughed while Elliot shook his head.

"Elliot, let's go here. There's something I want to do first."

"You serious? You know that's where you-"

"I know. Please."

-X-

Tony and Ziva quickly rushed down the stairs instead of taking the elevator. It was just unfortunate that the party was on the fifteenth floor. They were both out of breath by the time they reached the lobby. Gibbs was there a few moments later and they quickly made it outside to see McGee and a woman go into a car. The car sped off quickly before they could follow. Of course Gibbs got a license plate number. He quickly dialed for Abby and asked her to trace it.

At NCIS…

"Who knew Nancy Ross was all over the place?" Abby commented. Ducky chuckled.

"Yes, she was, especially in her younger years. Of course, when I knew her, she went by the name Aurora Livingston. She was a patient of mine when I had to treat her for cuts she earned while doing a photo shoot. She was a rising model and then she just disappeared and is still on the missing person's list," Ducky commented. "I was wondering why Timothy reminded me of someone."

"I don't get why Tim is being stubborn. We just want to help."

"He'll come around in due time Abby. Well I better go back to examine that body."

Ducky thought something was obviously off when he walked through to autopsy. He noticed that Corporal Adams' current resting place is opened.

"That is not where I left you. I wonder…" Ducky muttered to himself and proceeded to close but he felt the barrel of a gun on his back. "Now this is not what I expected."

"Sorry, Ducky. I just need you to go on the other side."

"Timothy, why are you here?" Ducky asked as soon as he did as requested.

"I'm here to see him," Tim answered while putting the gun away. He trusted Ducky to not do anything.

"Do you know who he is?" Tim let out a sad smile.

"He's my half-brother. Mother decided that he would live his life and I would live in hers. He died defending her when they met up. When I get my hands on him…" Tim trailed off to small murmurs. Tim heard the elevator ding. "I guess I grieved enough. Bye Dr. Mallard." Tim said and walked opposite of the door. When Ducky looked over his shoulder, Tim was gone just as soon as Gibbs stepped into the room. Ducky shook his head and greeted Gibbs. He wondered how Timothy was able to do that.
