Chapter 28
At the NCIS building...
„Ok, we got the witnesses, but none of them saw the terrorist" McGee says, as he hands Gibbs a file.
„But there is one, actually" McGee remembers.
„Who is it?" Gibbs, Kate and Tony say at the same time.
„Well, I can bring him over again, if you want" McGee says.
„You can't, McGee. You must" Gibbs says while reading the file.
„Okay, then I'm going there" He picks up his jacket and goes away. He actually went down to the lab. It was because of his and Abby's date. They didn't have a chance to talk about it.
At the lab...
McGee arrived down there. Abby was drinking her 'Caf-Pow'. She noticed him there.
„Hi... McGee" She said.
„Hello... Abby" He replied.
„We need to talk" She interrupts the awkward silence.
„Yeah" He agrees.
„Look, the only reason my reaction was like that, is because I... I... like you too!" She said quickly. McGee was shocked.
„Oh, well... I..." He started, but Abby was quicker.
„Don't say nothing" She said and grabbed his collar. She kissed him, and he kissed back. After a while, they broke apart.
"Whoa" McGee said.
"Jeez, McGee, didn't know you were a good kisser!" She exclaimed. He blushed.
"Hey, I gotta go!" McGee rushed to the elevator, leaving Abby alone.
"Good bye, my love…" She sighed.
Well, that was weird.
At the NCIS bullpen…
"Got his name" Gibbs says as he walks into the room.
"What is it?" Tony spins around in his chair. Kate was about to snap, but Gibbs continued, so she had to do it later.
"He's Clark Deacon. Thirty-five years old, happily married, no kids" Gibbs says.
"Have we got his wife?" Kate asked.
"Yep. Her name is Diana Deacon, thirty-four. Her last name was Harrison, but she changed it after marrying Petty Officer Deacon" Gibbs explained them.
"Got her address?" Tony asked.
"Nice try, Dinozzo. You're not getting involved with our suspect again" Kate smirked.
"Well, actually, Kate, I was asking Gibbs politely to give us her address so we could go check for more info, Katie. Besides that, she's older for my taste" He grins.
"Oh, right. Your taste is a tall hot Barbie that is twenty years younger, right?" She said sarcastically.
"You two, quiet. Yeah, I've got her address. 1605 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington D.C." Gibbs says.
"Ok, so I guess we're going then!" Tony says. Kate rolls her eyes.
"Yeah, you and Kate ask a few questions, and I'm going to check the Navy" Gibbs said.
Tony and Kate are already gone, and Gibbs sits for a moment. He's glaring at the terrorist's photo match. It's been on since last night. He gets up and goes away.
Kate and Tony…
The two of them are driving in Tony's car. The ride was really quiet, God knows why. Tony parked the car outside of the house. Kate was the first to step out from the car, and then Tony did after her.
"Nice house" Kate said to Tony.
"Yeah, it's ok" He said. She just rolled her eyes. Kate knocked on the door. A woman with a puffy face opened the door. She's been crying her eyes out, it could easily be seen.
"Can I help you somehow?" She asked, with her voice weak.
"Yes, we're from NCIS. We're sorry for your loss" Kate said as she showed her badge. Tony did with her.
"Special Agents Todd and Dinozzo. We have a few questions" Kate said, gesturing to Tony when saying his name.
"Um, sure. Come in" She said to them. They came into the house.
"Please, take a seat. Would you like some coffee, or tea?" She asked.
"No, thanks" Tony said. She then looked at Kate.
"Same with me" She answered.
"Well, ok then. What do you want? Police was here, I told them everything I know…" She said.
"But we're not police, miss, That's why we're here" Tony added. She nodded.
"What was your husband like?" Kate started. Diana burst out in tears again. Kate and Tony watched, kind of feeling guilty. Diana calmed down a bit, and then said:
"My husband was wonderful. He helped in the kitchen, he was always patient with me, he was great at the Navy, he wanted to raise kids with me…" She stopped, because of her sobbing attack.
"Oh, God, my Clark!" She yelled in tears. Kate's eyes were teary and a tear was about to drop, but she successfully held it. Tony's face was serious, but there was sadness. He was hiding behind that face lots of times in hard cases. Kate sat next to her and patted her back.
"It's ok, miss Deacon. He was a good man, that's all that matters" Kate said.
"I know… He was…" She was still sobbing.
"Should I get you some water?" Kate asked quietly. She waved her head for no and wiped her tears off.
"I'm fine" She said. Kate looked at her and asked:
"Do you want us to continue with questioning?" She nodded.
"Ok, then" Tony said. "Did your husband have any enemies?" Tony asked.
"No. He was very respected and loved, every person that would meet him would admire him" She said.
"Did he act strange at the latest time? Depression, anxiety, late at work" Kate continued, but Diana interrupted her:
"No. He was like always. Completely normal" Kate and Tony exchanged looks.
"Ok, that's all for today, miss Deacon, we'll maybe pay you another visit. If you need anything, just call us, ok?" Kate said.
"I will" She mumbled.
Tony and Kate rode back to NCIS in silence.
