Percy was in the gym training like he had to. "Jackson!'" called someone suddenly. Percy looked up and to who called him. If he remembered right it was Gibbs. One of the most respect and most feared Agents of the NCIS. Percy jogged over to him and stood at attention. "Yes, sir?" asked Percy confused why he was called. He was there only for the second month yet. Gibbs had a smile on but something was off for Percy. "At ease, marine," said Gibbs. Percy relaxed slightly. "How can I help? There must've been a reason you called for me," asked Percy. "I have something for you to do," answered Gibbs and motioned to follow him. Percy was confused but followed. He expected that he had to do some kind of dirty work that none of Gibbs team wanted to do. They went to the offices and Gibbs went over to his desk and sat down. Percy looked slightly at the rest of the team to see if they knew why he was there but they looked as confused as him. "Agent Gibbs, may I know why you brought me here?" asked Percy. Gibbs just continue working on his computer. "Agent Gibbs?" asked Percy trying to gain Gibbs attention. He wouldn't be surprised that he was forgotten about as he did walk very silently as a habit so it wasn't uncommon for him that people forgot he was following them. Gibbs however still did not react. "Agent Gibbs?!" asked Percy raising his voice. He noticed that many gave him a warning look or looked worried at him. "You were written up for mouthing off to a superior a few times, then there was a couple times because of a tattoo and mostly you were written up for dress code violation," stated Gibbs and turned to Percy. Percy looked irritated. "Is that why you brought me here? Trying to get me to quit?" asked Percy strained. Gibbs suddenly grabbed Percy collar and then Percy's camp necklace. Percy in responds grabbed Gibbs wrist. "Let it go," demanded Percy with a glare. Everyone around them stilled by the way Percy talked to Gibbs. "Our marine, the civil and the only witness wore this kind of necklace. What does it mean?" questioned Gibbs and let the necklace go. Percy straightened. "What?" asked Percy back. "In our current case, the victims and the witness wore similar necklace. Very similar like yours, which was always the reason you got written up for dress code violation," stated Gibbs. Percy swallowed. "Who... who were the victims?" asked Percy quietly. Gibbs team was surprised. McGee pulled up the photos of the victims and the big screen. Percy looked at them and paled. "Oh Gods...Did you inform their family?" asked Percy. "We couldn't reach special officer McLangs mother. We have yet to determine who the civilian is. Do you know them?" replied Tony. "Yeah, we went to the same camp. That's why we wear the necklaces. Those are important for us and we use them to recognize eachother outside camp. I only knew McLang briefly but he was a great guy. The civilian is Malvo Gorizia. He was a good friend of mine," answered Percy leaning against Gibbs desked while rubbing his face. "Do you know his family? Someone we can contact?" asked Bishop softly. "Yeah, but can I let them know? I owe it to them and I can probably get McLangs mom too or at least get someone that gets the message to her. The woman is avoiding electronics as best as she possible can," asked Percy. "If we can listen in. We still have to make sure you don't slip up and tell them something of the case," agreed Gibbs. "Prehabs you can get someone for the kid to," suggested Tony. Percy head snapped to him. "Kid?" asked Percy alarmed. "The witness. She is around 15," answered Bishop. Percy sucked in a breath. "What's her name?" asked Percy. "Miranda Larwence," answered Tony. Percy paled again and worse than the first time. "Are you okay?" asked McGee. "Are you aware of the threes connection?" asked Percy. "No, how are they connected?" asked Gibbs back. "They are half siblings. McLang was the oldest, than Malvo who is the same age as me and the youngest of the trio Miranda. Their father came around a bit," explained Percy. "Did they know?" asked Bishop. "Yes, and they were close," answered Percy. "Explains why the girl isn't talking," commented Tony. "Can I talk to her after I informed their families? I am pretty sure she would recognize me and she does look up to me and my wife," asked Percy. "If we can cross you of the suspect list," replied Gibbs. "When were they killed?" asked Percy. "Yesterday at around 7pm," answered Tony. "I was at the gym here from I think 6 to 9 letting some steem off," responded Percy. McGee quickly pulled up the video footage of the time in the gym. The team watched Percy attacking the sand sack furiously. "Holy crap. What kind of bad dad did you have?" asked Tony. "Meh, that was just because my uncle irritated me much. He keeps bugging me about my cousin and his partner as the two shut him out after an very awkward situation," replied Percy shrugging. "That's a joke right? Or did you just lay around the gym after you finished that?" asked Bishop. "I sort of lost track of time," replied Percy. McGee speed run the footage and Percy did not stop unless it was to drink something. Only when some came in at 8:13 and yelling at him to leave and pay for the damaged Sandsack, Percy left after giving the money for the Sandsack while apologizing. The whole team just starred at Percy. "Like I said I lost track of time, happens a few times," said Percy. "You destroyed a Sandsack and given that you had enough money on you I doubt it was the first. You didn't even ask the price," stated McGee. "I mean yeah. I sometimes do go overboard, but that was the first one here," responded Percy. "Not even Ziva managed that," commented Tony stunned. "Who is Ziva?" asked Percy. "She was an agent here after she left the mossad," answered Tony. "She probably knew how to control her strength and emotions. As a mossad agent you get trained to not let your emotions get the better of you or at least that is what I was told," said Percy and got his phone out. He pressed a contact and waited for the other one to pick up. "Hey, Chiron. I got some bad news," stated Percy. The team looked curious. "McLang and Gorizia were killed yesterday. I believe you are also missing their sister Miranda. She witnessed it and is currently at the NCIS to get questioned," said Percy. There was a change in his posture that Gibbs noted but didn't commented on it. "Yeah, of course I'll help her as best as I can. I call once I know more. You got to inform McLangs mother, they have trouble reaching her. Otherwise keep it to yourself, you know how the others will react should they know the murderer is still on the run," said Percy and hang up. Percy took a deep breath. "Who is Chiron?" asked Gibbs. "It's the camp director. He is way to much into history and as a joke we all call him Chiron. Honestly I sort of forgot his real name," answered Percy scratching his neck. "How long do you know him?" asked Gibbs. "Since I was twelve. If you think he was it you are dead wrong. Every camper is like they are his kids. The world would need to end before he lays a hand on one of us," replied Percy. "How sure are you?" asked Tony. "As sure as I am standing here. I would put my life in his hands and that of my friends and family. He won't harm anyone of our camp or outside. The only time I saw him attacking someone was when a guy tried to kidnapped a young camper," answered Percy. "Sometimes you can trust the wrong people," commented Gibbs. "Agent Gibbs I would be careful with your next words. He saved my life and that of others. He is the most upright guy I know. I put my hand in fire to plead for him. I would die for him as he is willing to do the same for us. No matter how screwed up we are," warned Percy. Tony and McGee looked shocked at Percy while Bishop looked godsmacked at him. Gibbs just smiled a bit. "Good to know," stated Gibbs. "Now can I talk with Miranda?" asked Percy but it was easy to tell that he was still irritated. Gibbs nodded at Tony.
Tony lead Percy to the questioning room. When the door opened Miranda looked up annoyed and weary. "Hey," greeted Percy amused. "Percy?" asked Miranda. Percy nodded, but Miranda narrowed her eyes. "Show me your camp necklace," demanded Miranda. Percy looked surprised but pulled the necklace up from beneath his shirt. "They k-killed th-them," stuttered Miranda. Percy smiled sadly at Miranda and opened his arms. Miranda flung herself at him in the next second. "I already infromed camp about their death," stated Percy while hugging Miranda. "They protected me because we got attacked first. After that some guys showed up and demanded that Jay gives them information about something he worked on, but he refused and stepped infront of me and Malvo. They threatened to kill us if he doesn't. Malvo told me to run and hide, which I did. He stayed to help Jay fight to guys, but they were outnumbered and the killers pulled out guns," retold Miranda trying hard not to sob. Percy hugged her tighter. "Thanks Miranda. They will get them. The best team the NCIS has is working on the case," said Percy. Tony looked dumbfounded at Percy. After a while Miranda let go. "Are you injured anywhere?" asked Percy. "No, just some bruising that will heal in a few weeks," replied Miranda. "From what are the bruises?" asked Percy. "When I ran one of the guys followed me. He tripped me but thanks to Annabeth teaching I managed to get free again. I lost the guy while hiding in a shadow like Nico does," answered Miranda. Percy smiled. "Good. How bad did you injure the guy?" asked Percy. "I think I gave him a concussion," answered Miranda proudly. "Great," stated Percy smiling approvingly. "Jackson, can I talk with you for a second?" asked Tony. "You're alright if I leave?" asked Percy looking at Miranda. Miranda nodded. "I come by later and bring you something to eat," said Percy before following Tony out.
