Chapter 6
The next morning Gibbs and the team were waiting for Tony to arrive.
"Well where is he?" Ziva asked and then the elevator door opened and Tony walked out wearing a black suit. An expensive one. He looked really good on that.
"Good morning everyone." Tony greeted with a smile.
"How can you be so sure that he'll talk to you?" Ziva asked curious.
"He'll talk. I'm sure. Shall we?" tony asked and Gibbs guided him to the interrogation room. Domingos Castro was already there. Gibbs left them alone and went to observation. The others were already there.
"Bom dia Sr. Castro. Meu nome é Tony. Estou aqui para dizer-lhe que sei tudo sobre você. Sobre as drogas e sobre o escorpião." (Good morning Mr. Castro. my name is Tony. i am here to tell you that we know everything about you. about the drugs and about the scorpion.) Tony said.
"Eu não sei o que você está falando." (I do not know what you are talking about.)
"Você tem certeza? Porque eu acho que você faz. E eu acho que você tem a tatuagem de um escorpião em sua mão provando tudo o que sabemos. Eu posso fazer um acordo. Posso arranjar-lhe em contato com a sua família em Portugal e você vai me dizer tudo sobre o escorpião." (Are you sure? Because I think you do. And I think that you have the tattoo of a scorpion in your hand proving everything we know. I can make you a deal. I can get you in contact with your family in Portugal and you will tell me everything about the scorpion.) Tony offered.
"Minha família não quer ouvir falar de mim." (My family does not want to hear from me again.)
"E o seu irmão? Você não quer falar com seu irmão?" (What about your brother? Do you not want to talk to your brother?)
"Meu irmão está na prisão. Não deixe ninguém falar com ele." (My brother is in prison. they do not let anyone talk to him.)
"Eu posso fazer isso. Me ajudar e eu vou ajudá-lo a falar com o seu irmão." (I can do it. help me and I will help you talk with your brother.)
"Se eu falar com o meu irmão eu vou lhe dizer tudo o que sei sobre o escorpião. Mas eu quero falar com ele primeiro." (If I speak with my brother I will tell you everything I know about the scorpion. But I want to speak with him first.)
"Anote a sua confissão e tudo o que você sabe sobre o escorpião. Eu vou fazer um telefonema. Quando eu voltar você vai me dizer tudo em Inglês e, em seguida, você vai falar com seu irmão. Você terá cinco minutos para falar com ele." (Write down your confession and everything you know about the scorpion. I will go make a phone call. When i get back you will tell me everything in English and then you will talk with your brother. You will have five minutes to talk with him.)
"Como eu sei que posso confiar em você?" (How do I know I can trust you?) Domingos asked. Tony took out of his pocket an envelope and gave it to him. Domingos took out pictures of his family- happy moments- and of his brother in prison. He was smiling holding a newspaper. That was his proof that Tony was telling the truth. The newspaper was a couple of days old.
"Temos um acordo?" (Do we have a deal?)
"Sim. Sim, temos." (Yes. Yes, we have.) Domingos said and started writing while Tony got out.
"How did you do it?" Gibbs asked Tony.
"I have my ways." He answered and smiled. They waited a few more minutes and then Tony got back inside.
"Are you ready?" tony asked once inside. Domingos nodded and Tony took the paper.
"I didn't kill James. I sold him some drugs before he joined the Navy and that's it. The night he died, I saw him at the club. He was coming out of the scorpion's office. The last drugs were bad quality. It wasn't scorpion's fault. Anyway James threatened him. He said that his last drugs knocked him out for five hours. They could kill him and anyone else. James got out very angry." Domingos started.
"Whose fault was it?" Tony asked.
"Except for me, there is one other guy that makes the drugs. Scorpion will deal with him for that mistake." He answered.
"What about the scorpion?"
"His real name is Richard Drake. He owns the nightclub. From what I heard in the basement he has set up machines that work all the time. From raw materials he is stock for a year. You can't get inside the club if you're not a member." Domingos said.
"There's something else right? What is it?" Tony asked.
'There is a woman. He's expecting her in a week. She's coming from Russia. Her name is Sarah but I don't know her last name." Domingos answered.
"That's ok. You've helped a lot." Tony said and grabbed his phone. He dilated a number.
"It's me. He's ready." Tony said and gave the phone to Domingos.
"Remember. Five minutes. Keep the photos." Tony said and walked out.
"I can't believe he talked." Ziva said once in the bullpen.
"Boss do you want me to call Richard Drake in for questioning?" McGee asked.
"You do not call such people like that. Once they get a court order in hand they disappear. This one in particular you can't keep him even for an hour without the murder weapon. He has crazy contacts in judicial circles." Tony said.
"What do you suggest?" Gibbs asked.
"Well I'm gonna inform the Russian authorities about that woman. Why don't you start searching about Drake?" Tony asked and left them alone.
"Well you heard the man. Start searching. I want to know everything about him." Gibbs ordered and went for coffee.
Half an hour later Gibbs entered Abby's lab with a coffee and a Caf- Pow at hand. He didn't hear music though.
"Yay. I'm so happy." He heard Abby say to Tony.
"I know that's why I told you." Tony continued. They were talking like they've known each other for years. Gibbs didn't get closer because he wanted to hear what they were talking about and to surprise Tony.
"So what happens now?" Abby asked.
"I don't know. Why don't you ask Gibbs? He's right behind us." Tony answered not moving at all. How the hell did he know he was there?
Abby turned around and saw him.
"Hey Gibbs when did you get down here? Is that for me?" Abby asked excited.
"Do you know someone else drinking this stuff? I think I owned you a Caf- Pow." Gibbs said still looking at Tony.
"You mean from when you asked her to search about me?" Tony asked and he finally turned and looked at Gibbs. Gibbs was confused.
"Tony what…?" Abby started but Tony interrupted her.
"It's ok Abs. No more secrets." Tony said.
"You two know each other?" Gibbs asked curious. He couldn't believe it.
"Yeah. We met a few years ago. Tony actually saved me from a really bad situation. He got hurt though and when he tried to go away I wouldn't let him." Abby explained hugging Tony.
"When I woke up the next morning at her house she was so glad I was ok that she almost struggled me with one of her hugs." Tony continued. Gibbs looked at them.
"I think we should go upstairs. Come on. See you later princess." Tony said and kissed her forehead. When they got inside the elevator Tony stopped it.
"She doesn't know. About Hernandez." Tony said and Gibbs nodded. He was grateful for that.
"Tonight. My place." Gibbs said and started the elevator, not giving the chance to Tony to answer.
