Thanks for the rewiews, sorry it's taken so long, been a little bit busy
Don't own any of it.
Gibbs eyed the paper suspiciously, he had a distrust for photocopies and this was obviously a copy, 'They're married?' He asked.
'Give me that,' Sam snatched the paper from Gibbs hand and started at the certificate dated 8 months earlier, 'this is bull, what operation did you send them on?' Sam turned to Hetty. Had to be an operation, no way on this planet could they have hidden this from him, not without help, Hetty's help. It all made sense now, another operation he wasn't involved in, that'd be twice this year, they'd keep it need to know and Hetty always decided who needed to know. Sam glared at the operations manager, trying to ignore the question entering his mind, why does it list their real names?
'I assure you Mr Hanna, I know nothing of this,' Hetty straightened up, 'I have never sent either Mr Callen or Ms Blye to Las Vegas.'
McGee carefully removed the page from Sam's hand hoping to stay uninjured, the man looked like he was ready to kill, if they found Callen and Kensi alive they may not stay that way for long. McGee read the page then handed it off to Deeks who had his hand outstretched. Ziva was looking at the envelope McGee guessed she was thinking it was a suspects list, Tony was looking confused probably trying to find a movie reference to fit, Gibbs and Abby both looked like they were trying to figure out how they had missed something which they both thought should have been so obvious to them. McGee headed for the ops centre.
'Going somewhere McGee?' Gibbs noted the agent walking upstairs.
'Got an idea boss,' McGee continued walking.
Eric and Nell were searching thru databases, and McGee could tell they were getting frustrated, without explaining he started barking at them, 'New search, Las Vegas, Nevada, Five Star Chapel between 6 to 10 months ago.'
'What, why?' Eric looked at the agent, since when did McGee start giving orders.
Nell on the other hand had started typing away, 'this will take a while, what am I looking for?'
'Call it a hunch, but a connection between our missing couples,' McGee answered them both.
'Got something McGee,' Gibbs stated, it definitely was not a question.
'Working on it boss,' McGee grabbed a keyboard and started a fresh database.
Abby came up behind him, 'Tim you're a genius!'
Sam rolled his eyes he wanted to be on the streets doing something, not standing here hoping the geeks would find his friends. 'He's a genius?' Sam asked. 'So how come he didn't know they got married?'
'Who got married?' Eric asked.
'Kensi and Callen,' Deeks answered
'Kensi and Callen got married?' Nell couldn't believe it, no this was a cover surely, but Sam's face said otherwise and Eric's jaw being on the floor proved he didn't know and since Eric would have created the cover…
'Bingo,' Nell went back to the screen which was bringing up names left, right and centre. 'We've now identified 9 of the 14 couples in the photos ALL of them married at the Five Star Chapel, Vegas in the last 6 to 10 months.
'Tony, Ziva,' Gibbs got his agents attention, 'take the photos, go to the chapel find out what's going on!'
'On it boss,' Tony said as he started to walk out, 'Vegas here we come.'
Sam looked at Gibbs who smirked just as Sam's palm connected with the back of DiNozzo's head, 'You're not going for fun,' Sam pointed out.
Before DiNozzo could protest Eric advised, 'you're flight leaves LAX in 1 hour.'
Ziva pulled DiNozzo out of the room before he could say anything else stupid.
Eric watched them walk out of ops followed by the rest of the team. Married, that was a surprise but he smiled to himself as he realised I was right.
4 months earlier
Eric quietly powered down the systems, a job well done, the team were good, a little frazzled maybe but good. The bad guys were, well dead truth be told. The building was quiet, everyone had left for the night. Nell had left quite sometime earlier leaving Eric to his favourite time of the day, closing everything down, being the last to leave, didn't happen often usually Hetty was the last to leave, but tonight she had left early to take a flight to DC, muttering about better things to do. Even the team had slipped out quietly, he knew Kensi had left 'cos the gun range had gone quiet. The rest of the team had all said goodnight as they let the building, yet again they owed him, not just a geek!
As he walked towards the stairs Eric could see the lights on in the gun range, Hetty'll be peeved he thought to himself as he walked round to the range to turn the lights off. He stopped about 10 feet shy of the door as he could see movement inside, stealth wasn't something Eric was particularly good which is why he was a tech nerd not an agent, he was however smart, turned around and went back to his own personal bat cave. He fired up the internal camera system, it wasn't a CCTV system, as if something happened and the mission was compromised footage of people with access to the building could fall into the wrong hands. At the same time there was a system in place just in case it was needed, hostiles in the building could then be tracked. It took time a short time to start the system and once online Eric dialled up the gun range.
Eric knew who he was looking at even though he couldn't see their faces, he was however more than a little surprised by what they were doing. Callen was known for not liking people touching him, Kensi seemed to be an exception to the rule but this kind of touching only happened whilst undercover. Kensi was wrapped around Callen, actually if Eric was honest they were wrapped around each other. If Eric hadn't known better he would've thought they were making out, but he did know better and he still thought they were making out. Maybe not, was Callen zipping up his jeans? Eric smiled to himself, wonder who else knows?
Eric quietly closed the systems back down and left the building, smiling to himself he was going to keep an eye on them, or at least try to.
Married though, he didn't see that coming. From the looks on Sam and Hetty's faces he might have been the only one aware of what had been going on. Eric had to admit though he had tried to keep an eye on them, but he couldn't find anything that didn't have a reasonable explanation, damn they were good.
