McGee looked up at Tony. He remembered.

"There was more blood. Actually, a lot of it." His eyebrows frowned. "And a body. There was a body."

"You know who's? Do you remember the face?"

"No, it was a woman, she had long brown or black hair, but I'm not sure, it was all bloodied. Because.."

Tony looked at McGees face. "Because?"

"She didn't really have a face."

"How's that possible?"

They arrived at the NCIS building, went to the elevator and went to the bullpen.

"DiNozzo, McGee, what took you so long to come here?" Gibbs asked. McGee saw he was a bit worried. Gibbs stared at McGee's hands and face, which were bloodied.

"What happened?"

"Someone tried to blow up a basement." Tony anwered. Ziva didn't understand.

"So?"

"We went inside the house, did some searching, and heard something downstairs, so we went looking for the noise and someone ran away. Probie found a hidden door that led to a basement, we went inside and there was a lot of wiskey and wine bottles, most were empty. McGee went around a corner, saw a not-having-a-face-and-bloodied-body and then kaboem."

"Are you alright?" Gibbs asked, mostly asking it for McGee, who looked tired.

"Yes, just tired."

"Come."

"What?"

"Come on McGee." Gibbs went to the elevator, McGee followed him.

Inside the elevator, Gibbs pushed a random button. The door closed and Gibbs used his famous button. Energy off.

McGee looked pretty scared. "Why is this? I didn't do anything wrong..."

"Do you have something to tell me?" McGee thought of Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore.

"No."

"Since when has your father been in DC?"

"I have no idea."

"He didn't tell you?"

"No, I haven't spoken to him for 8 years or something."

"Why not?"

McGee looked away from Gibbs' eyes. "I don't really have a reason."

"Then why are you ashamed of it?"

"I am not!"

"Tim," First name, means trouble.

"He's just busy with work."

"Then why is he in DC instead of California?"

"I told you, I don't know." McGee switched the energy on.

Gibbs kept staring at his young agent. He was hiding something. He tried again.

"Tim, you can tell me."

"It's nothing."

The elevatordoors opened and closed again. McGee pushed the button to go to the bullpen again.

"Boss,"

"What McGee?"

"Why are you asking about my father? Abby found something, didn't she?"

"Yes, the DNA under the fingernails and the fingerprints are your father's."

McGee nodded in understanding. He wasn't even worried about his father. He didn't really care anymore.

Ziva told Tony what Abby'd found, and that James McGee lived in California, but somehow ended up in DC. She'd just finished when McGee and Gibbs came in.

"David! Tell me you found something." Gibbs barked.

"James McGee is staying at a hotel in DC. I have no idea why he's here. Maybe to visit his daughter or McGee."

"Bring him in." DiNozzo and Ziva grabbed their stuff and went to the elevator.

"McGee, find a reason."

"Yes boss."

Gibbs went upstairs to Vance's office.
