Chapter 12

Tony sat in the conference room as Tim paced between the table and door.

"What is going on Probie?" Tony questioned as he looked toward his teammate.

Tim replied as he paced "I don't know Tony."

Ron Sacks walked into the room as he closed the door. "Please sit Agent McGee."

Tim looked toward Tony, who nodded toward the chair, where Tim sat down. "What is going on with Erin?"

Sacks read his notes then said "Where were you last night?"

"What does that have to do with anything?" Tim questioned as he looked at the FBI agent.

Sacks looked up from his paper "Just answer the question."

"I had dinner with my sister." Tim answered as he continued "Now can you answer my question?"

Sack shook his head "No, I can not. When was the last time you were with Agent Morgan?"

"She was at my apartment the night before last." Tim replied as he looked at Tony.

Sacks wrote on his notepad "Were you intimate?"

Tim quickly glared as he snapped "I will not answer that question! That is none of your business."

"Do you know where she was late last night?" Sacks questioned as he continued to write in his notebook.

Tim eyes' narrowed as he said "She was at home. She was supposed to come to dinner but her roommate needed her so she canceled."

Sacks nodded as he continued writing in his notebook. "I'll be right back."

Gibbs sat across from Erin as he asked "Did you know this man?"

Erin looked at the picture "Of course I do. He was my partner for five years."

"Were you with him last night?" Gibbs question as he pulled a paper out of the folder.

Erin nodded as she answered "Yes, he showed up last night completely boozed. He tried to get a quick booty call but I stopped him and he passed out on my bed."

"Was he there in the morning?" Gibbs questioned as he looked at the young woman.

Erin shook her head "No. Wha-- What is this about Agent Gibbs? Why does the CIA--- wait! Did something happen to Scott?"

"I am sorry Erin." Gibbs replied as he handed Erin a picture and continued "He was found in Anacostia Park at 0730 this morning."

"Wha-- oh my gosh. Scott --- how?" Erin questioned as she began to cry.

Gibbs reached out for her hand as he explained "He was beaten and shot."

"I was with Abby this morning." Erin replied as she looked at Scott's photo.

Gibbs nodded as he stated "The coroner said he died at 0445 this morning. Where were you at that time?"

"In bed. I went to sleep around 0100 and he was passed out on my bed. I woke up at 0530 and went for my run. I got back at 0630 and Abby was at my apartment." Erin explained as wiped the tears from her eyes.

Before Gibbs could ask another question Vance walked into the room "I need to speak with you Gibbs."

"Leon." Gibbs warned but Vance quickly interrupted "Now Gibbs!"

Gibbs angrily pushed his chair as he stormed out of the interrogation room.

Vance quickly said "Why are you blocking the CIA's investigation?"

"We are helping the FBI in their investigation." Gibbs replied as he heard the door shut behind him.

Vance glared as he said "You are treading on holding information for the CIA. Give Agent Morgan to them so they can interview her."

"We can't do that Leon. Agent Morgan did not murder Agent Hopkins and the FBI will prove it with NCIS's help." Fornell demanded as he walked closer to Gibbs.

Vance glared at Fornell "Why are you so adamant about Agent Morgan's innocence?"

"She has an alibi so now we need to interview people." Fornell replied as he starred at the Director.

Vance looked at Gibbs "You think she is telling the truth?"

Gibbs nodded as he replied "I think the shooting had something to do with it."

"I don't know how long I can hold off the CIA so work fast." Vance ordered as he walked away while Sacks walked toward Fornell.

Both agents walked away from the Director and Gibbs. They talked quietly for twenty minutes then Fornell walked back to Gibbs with notes Sacks had taken. Gibbs looked at the notes as he walked in the room where Erin had been waiting.

"Agent Gibbs. I can't be the only suspect. Scott and I worked many cases where we made a lot of enemies." Erin explained as he watched Gibbs sit down.

Gibbs looked at the notes as he asked "Why did you cancel plans with McGee last night?"

"My roommate had emergency last night. She needed me. Tim understood." Erin supplied as she watched Gibbs.

Gibbs looked up at Erin as he asked "What kind of emergency?"

"Well not a serious one, it was more like a girl emergency." Erin answered but noticed Gibbs wanted more. "She's pregnant. She was freaking out because her parents will kill her. I went home to calm her down. She went to her parent's house later that night for the weekend."

Gibbs questioned "So she wasn't there when Agent Hopkins stopped by the apartment?"

"No she had left around 2100." Erin replied as she watched Gibbs stand.

"Don't leave the squad room for any reason."

Erin nodded as she followed Gibbs out of the room.


A/N: Normally I don't write authors notes and asked for reviews but I am just wondering if anyone is reading this. I have wrote the whole story and even a sequel. I have enjoyed writing these stories and I am even planning to write a third story. I am just wondering if there is something I can do to get more people interested in the story. Please leave me feedback if there is anything I can do better.
