New Chapter

Disclaimer: *Sigh* Still poor so no...all rigths go to Donald P Bellisairo and Joss Whedon.

Walking through the airport was horrendous as everyone was going every which way trying to find their luggage or their children or their other relatives. Tony made a couple of jokes which Ziva had stuck her nose up at while McGee tried to get their map coordinates so that when they got to their car, they'd have some sort of way to knowing where they would be heading. Angela and Eddie were at the back playing charades, tic tac toe, hangman and singing nursery rhymes much to the annoyance of Gibbs and Ducky because despite their love of children and teenagers, one of them was 20 and they were detectives who were about to go about their jobs again. They didn't really see their upside seeing as it was their friends who had died. But still, have it their way.

Finally out of the rented car they all stretched out their legs and decided to walk up to the 'broody ones' place as Tony called it while everyone in their group flitted around them trying to help somehow. The two teams came across a huge library which had no welcoming sign and no one was exactly eager to enter it because of the edginess that surrounded it. Thankfully it was night time so Angel would be around properly and hopefully so would Cordelia so they could maybe get some information and Angel could go and help extra.

Hearing a small knock at the door, Cordelia being the only one awake for once got up to answer it. She had got up to the door wondering whether or not to wake up everybody else in the place they now called home. She thought not, at least not until she found out who it was. Cordelia rubbed her eyes trying to stay alert, looked through the peephole and then opened up the door ready for questions.

However that wasn't yet to come as they all just sat drinking coffee or tea with smiles, Cordelia got up once more to go and wake everyone in the building up telling them all of their 'fun' guests. Angel, Wesley, Doyle all woke ready for action.

As they descended back down the stairs, Doyle and Cordelia noticed the main girl enter back into the main study area from the kitchen sitting next to her second in command. Cordelia couldn't believe her eyes as she ran down the stairs in her blue with clouds on pyjamas which she forgot she had on at the moment having decided to change earlier after she answered the door but clearly not.

She stopped at the end of the stairs which made all of the NCIS agents turn around and stare. Angela then did the same as Cordelia walking right up to her sizing her up and how she looked, acted and spoke. After they'd done this - with the D.C team confused - they finally embraced each other tightly and started crying quietly, they hadn't been this close to each other since Angela had left for Baltimore the first ever time and they just kept missing each other. Angela personally was glad she'd gotten rid of some of that ego she used to hold as well.

"Hi, how have you been?"

"Not too bad, too many cases here and there"

"I feel you with that, the amount of people we get here is ridiculous, I mean seriously I need some sleep at least, I'm not Angel"

"Comes with the job I guess"

"You said it"

"So what are the creepy people here for?"

"Oh yeah, NCIS"

"What are, who? Angela, it's been 10 minutes and already you've lost me"

"Sorry Cordy"

Much while the team loved to see their almost friend happy they did have a case to solve and while they were doing their friend thing it wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

"Callies"

"Yes Gibbs?"

"We're here to work?"

"Right, yes"

Angela regained herself and walked up to Eddie taking a backseat for a little while so NCIS could take the lead and explain what was happening. They didn't want to say anything until they had to. It was more their main case whether they thought so or not, NCIS had been called out first so they had naturally gotten priority thinking Oz maybe links to governments of the Navy which they still thought so but Eddie thought differently, he thought maybe it had to be Gunn seeing as he used to be what he could only call a thug. A nice thug but still.

NCIS tried to make sure that the Baltimore cops would be involved within their short explanation but somehow couldn't so all of them looked to the cops instead which made Eddie step up first.

"Hi, I don't think we've met, Cordelia and Wesley? I'm Detective Edward Lusk but please call me Eddie, I work with Angela here, second in command with the homicide department at Baltimore"

"Hey, it's good to meet you too Eddie"

"So Oz and Gunn, we've been trying to figure out where we're going wrong with this case and it appears to be the fact that they might have been giving away secrets from inside NCIS and telling other people like mob bosses maybe but we wanted some input to help us and seeing as you see knew the men best as one worked closely with you and the other you used to know in Sunnydale, please tell me to stop if any of this information is wrong or you have heard differently"

Angel had nodded when all of this information was said and his facial features never changed which sort of scared the agents as they didn't know how to react to the said man who was standing above them with a stare much like the boss's so they stayed quiet.

"Really, Oz and Gunn? Well, you'd have to go to Sunnydale and ask people there. I don't know, they never said anything if they did. Sorry you all but there's nothing really here, going there might help. We trusted both of them and I think you'd be pretty annoyed to not think the best of them seeing as they were sort of the best of them"

"We understand" Was all Angela and Eddie could say but the NCIS team just shook their head not knowing what he meant but soon they would find out and soon they wouldn't want to know ever again.
