Any recognizable character is not owned by me. I only own Tigger.

Gibbs followed by DiNozzo, Ziva David, and McGee ascended the stairs to the landing, opening the door to the roof, they began surveying the roofline looking for signs of the sniper, looking across to the next roof Gibbs sees a camera looking down onto the roof. Yelling towards McGee, the team's computer expert, "Hey I want to know what that camera caught." McGee nods his head with 'Okay boss'. With that they found the same as Tigger and Eliot.

Holding the phone in his hand pacing the length of the safe house kitchen, Peter was listening to an Agent Jones that was working the case with Booth and NCIS. "NCIS found the sniper perch of who shot you, they goy the footage from a camera that is adjacent to the roof the sniper was on. So how is it going with Caffery and Elizabeth?" Jones asks, knowing that Caffrey had a way of getting under Peter's skin especially when Caffrey wasn't kept busy.

"Great, El and him are talking jazz and art masterpieces." Peter huffs as he says it looking toward the living room where his wife and CI where idle chatting.

"Well I need to get back to the case I just wanted to update you on what has been learned so far."

"Thanks" with that they hung up and Peter went into the living room to repeat what he just learned. "Just got an update" he says plopping in the chair next to his wife. "Some sanction called NCIS joined the case." He relays a confused look on his face because he didn't know what NCIS was. Seeing his confusion Neal smiles, leaning back into the couch with a gleam in his that read 'I know something you don't know'. "Do have something to say" Peter says irritably.

"NCIS stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service, most likely since Braxton was a PO2 of the navy means a joint case," the smile seeming to never falter off his face.

"And how would you know that?" Peter grunts confused how an art thief would know about a government sanction he didn't even know.

"I brought up in a military family." Neal says glancing at El, then looking back to Peter.

"That wasn't in your file." Peter says knowing that military families typically had more information on them.

A smirk comes across Neal's face as he leans in towards Peter, "a lot isn't in my file." Peter grunts at that wondering what else is unknown about the con artist. El just smiles' shaking her head because she can tell Neal is trying to get under Peter's skin.

At the Jeffersonian Institute, Dr. Brennan and Cam Saroyan were looking over the body of Dave Braxton. Angela Montenegro, a forensic facial reconstruction specialist, was looking through the footage of the parking garage that Braxton was murdered in. Hodgins was looking at particulates found on Braxton's body and clothes.

On the lab floor, Brennan, also known as Bones, and Cam were cataloging the findings. "Two gun shot wounds to the chest one nicked the forth thoracic vertebrae on the left side hitting left upper lobe of the lung, the other was a clean shot through the heart exiting the back." Bones says looking at the x-rays.

"And here is the bullet looks to be 9mm, I'll have Angela run it" Cam says taking the bullet that was lodged in the Braxton's lung and examining it. It was around 5 o'clock that everyone went to Angela's lab and video called Booth about their findings.

Ziva, McGee and DiNozzo were going through the footage of the rooftop, seeing a glimpse movement, McGee enlarges that area of the screen, watching the shadow closely they can tell it's the sniper from what seems to be large bag being held, but sadly that is all they can see, fast forwarding it a bit they watch the rest of the day seeing if anyone came up to the roof, they see a guy and young girl walking around the roof heads down scanning the floor. When they look up McGee freezes the image, taking screen shots and sends them to Abby, who is their forensic scientist back at NCIS, so she can run the photos through aphis, a photo recognition software. Continuing to watch the footage they only find themselves on the tape. They then headed over to the conference room where Gibbs and Booth were looking through the evidence given to them by the Jeffersonian, statements made by witnesses of the sniper shooting and employees of Braxton.

"Boss we got something" DiNozzo said as he came in through the door followed by McGee and Ziva. Gibbs just looked at him, silently telling to 'go on.' McGee then started hooking up his laptop to the television screen so Gibbs and Booth could see the pictures for themselves. "Well we ran through the tapes the sniper was not seen at the angle of the camera but we did find that 5.07 two people, a man and young girl were up there twenty minutes before us just before we did, McGee sent the pics to Abby to run." Just then the pictures came up onto the screen, of Eliot and Tigger, Booth groans at seeing Eliot's face on the screen and Gibbs sighs saying 'dammit' looking at the same picture. DiNozzo and McGee's face furrow in confusion.

"You know who they are boss?" McGee asks tentatively.

"I don't know who the girl is but she looks familiar, but the man is" just then DiNozzo's cell rings stopping Gibbs from finishing the thought.

"DiNozzo" he speaks into the phone turning slightly from everyone, "yes, okay, are you sure, thanks Abby." Hanging up DiNozzo turns back to everyone, each looking at him waiting to know what the phone call was about. "That was Abby." DiNozzo says to the groups.

"Ya we got that, what did she say" Gibbs says glaring at DiNozzo.

"Oh ya, aphis got a match the man is Eliot Spencer, the girl is still unknown." DiNozzo relays. Ziva's eyes grow large at that because she knows Eliot Spencer's rep from her time working as an assassin. They then all sit down and pour over the information and leads.

Back at the town house of the Leverage team, they were trying to figure out what to get for dinner, having decided on Chinese takeout Nate and Sophie head to the door putting on their coats and leave. Eliot looks around at the remaining group, Hardison was taking a break from researching and was playing one of his computer games, Parker and Tigger were sitting on the couch playing what Eliot would describe as a weird game of name the security system by the equipment needed to break into it. Breathing in, he breaks the game up by asking, "How did you guys meet?" Parker looks at Tigger, and she shrugs in response.

Looking back towards Eliot, Parker contemplates how to word it.

Moving her head side-to-side checking that the coast was clear, a pint sized blonde thief ran across the street quickly scurrying into the abandoned apartment complex. Taking off her backpack that held her most prized and only possessions, she places it on the trash-riddled floor, pulling out soft beige stuffed bunny she curls up into a ball using her backpack as her pillow.

Halfway through the night she heard a small thump across the room startled awake, the moon dancing shadows of a small child who quickly moved across the room. Seeing the small child, Parker makes herself known quietly whispering "Hey."

The little girl stills at the voice turning quickly, she drops down into a defensive posture scanning the room. Getting up from her corner, Parker walks quietly into the moonlight coming in from the broken window. The little girl looks up at Parker her long brown hair covering part of her face, she whispers out "Hello."

Six months later in New York, the little blonde thief and little girl, that Parker named Tigger, were picking pockets for their next meal when an arm snaked out and grabbed Parker's arm that held the brown leather wallet of the man. The look of horror came across their face, but the man with white hair just smiled at them "I almost didn't feel that, my names Archie" he says as he takes his wallet and lets go of Parker's arm, "how would you two like to become the world's best thieves." they both looked at each other identical smiles coming across their faces. From that day on, Archie became Parker and Tigger's mentor making them the world's best thieves.

"We met at an apartment complex." Eliot looks between them and nods.

Two hours later, Tigger finds herself two doors down from where Peter, El, and Neal were staying. Awhile later she looks down the long street seeing a black utility van come to a stop about eleven houses down from the safe house, five men come out in all black heading in the direction of the safe house.
