McGee's POV
I look at Richie in confusion as he sits there.
"Wait, so we got the wrong guy," I ask.
"Well, he is still charged with breaking into NCIS, but he's not the murder," Richie says as I look at Virgil.
"He's not kidding right," I ask him.
"No. Though we couldn't clearly see the attackers face, I'm pretty sure his hair was a lighter color," Virgil says.
"Yeah, you did say that in your statement," I say. "I better tell Gibbs."
"Hold on," Richie says. "When did Daniel leave the Marines?"
"About a month ago, why," I ask.
"How does information about secret exchange get into peoples hands," Richie says.
"Oh. I get where you're going at," Virgil says.
"You think he leaked the info out," I ask him.
"Maybe. It's just an idea."
"I'll tell Gibbs what we know," I say as I leave the room.
Virgil's POV
The door close and I look over at Richie.
"So, you got any plans to help get us out of our predicament," I ask him.
"Well...we could say you were testing out an electromagnetic field generator," Richie says as he looks at the ceiling. "I could go on about the mechanics behind it."
"Well, how do you know the mechanics behind it," I ask him.
"I have already come up with plans for a prototype electromagnetic field generator. Was thinking about adding it to my hero costume," Richie says casually.
"Ok. Though you know they would want to see it."
"It exploded when you used it to turn the power back on," Rich tells me.
"You really thought this through," I say as I sit down.
"Yup. Though I'm going to be really upset when we have to vanish when we go home," Richie says as we look ahead at the man sitting there as Gibbs reenters.
"Me too Richie."
Ziva's POV
"Powers, really Tony. That is obscured," I say as I look at him as I sit at my desk.
"But it explains how you guys were able to survive the bombardment of bullets," Tony points out as he relaxes on his chair.
"Tony, no one has any powers."
"What are you talking about now," Gibbs as he enters the room.
"Tony is convinced that Virgil has some sort of powers," I say as Gibbs looks at Tony.
"Explain," Gibbs says as Tony stands up.
"Alright. Here is the crime scene," Tony says as the photos appear on the screen. "Most of the bullets are either in the wall or on the floor. The strange thing is that not one bullet hit Virgil or Ziva. So the only explanation is that Virgil has some sort of powers that he is hiding," Tony says as he grins.
"Or he has a super smart friend that can make awesome gear," a voice says and we turn to see Richie and Virgil standing there.
"Richie made a prototype electromagnetic field generator," Virgil says.
"It basically makes an electromagnetic force field that protects the wearer from harm," Richie explains.
"Oh really? And where is the prototype now," Tony ask.
"It exploded when the electrical box exploded. I was able to use the electromagnetic field to power the electricity. But then it exploded," Virgil explains.
"See Tony, no powers of some sort. Just a genius making prototypes that explodes," I tell him as he sighs in defeat.
"And I thought I would see something cool," Tony says.
"Back to work," Gibbs says as he turns towards the boys.
Richie's POV
"You got the blueprints for the electromagnetic field," Gibbs ask me.
"Yeah. I keep it and my other ideas on a flash drive that's at your place," I tell him.
"Alright. Maybe you can show them to McGee. He might be able to help you stabilize some of your ideas," Gibbs says as he walks away.
"Alright? Anyways, you want to go and see Abby," I ask Virgil.
"Yeah sure. Let's go," I say as we head towards Abby's lab.
Once we are out of earshot, we smile and fistbump.
"I can't believe they bought that," Virgil says.
"What can I say? We are awesome at keeping secrets," I say as we reach the door to Abby's Lab.
We enter her lab to see Abby jamming to some music as she works.
"You Abby," Virgil says as she turns and looks at us.
"Virgil! Richie! What brings you guys here," Abby ask as she turns the music down.
"We thought we would hang out with our favorite Goth," Virgil says as Abby smiles.
"Well then, you came to the right place!"
"Sweet! So then, what are you doing," Virgil ask Abby.
"I'm trying to figure out who is after you two."
"Alright cool. Any leads," I ask her.
"Nope. Daniel is not talking, but right now I'm going through his computer. There might be something on there," Abby says as she continues to type on the computer.
"Need help with anything," I ask.
"Nope. Though I did get some materials so that we could do a mini experiment," Abby says as she smiles.
"That sounds awesome! What type of experiment?"
"Well, I have a couple of different ones that we can do. We can set them up in the backroom," Abby says. "It's up to you two on what we will do."
"Alright. Let's see what we can do," I say as I smile.
"Great idea! Let's go!"
