AN: Sorry it's been so long since I've uploaded. Life got hectic after college. Enjoy the Chapter.
A few days later we got the call. We had a new case. "Dead Marine in Quantico." Gibbs motioned for us to grab our gear. We did and followed him out to the truck and cars. Jazz and I drove the car with Tim. Ziva and Tony rode with Gibbs in the truck. Ducky was already there when we arrived. I looked at the body, It was a young man with short cropped copper colored hair. I would recognize him anywhere.
"Jess, Jasper. Since this is your first crime scene you two can help Ziva and Tony." Gibbs gave the order and we nodded. All of us began to work. I was sketching the crime scene while Tony took crime scene photos. Jasper helped Ziva take crime scene measurements. Tim and Gibbs went to talk to the witnesses who had found the body.
Soon we had all of the evidence collected and were taking that and the body back to the Navel Yard. "Alright what do we know?" Gibbs asked. I looked up from my laptop. "Well his name is Edward Cullen. He has a wife named Bella and a daughter named Renesmee. He was adopted when he was young because his parents died from an unknown illness."
"His adopted parents are Doctor Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen. He graduated top of his class in both High School and College. He attended Forks High School and Dartmouth College. He met his wife Isabella, Bella, Swan while they were in high school. Apparently she is the daughter of the sheriff of Forks and came back home to Forks because her mother got remarried to a minor league baseball player." I told him looking back down at the laptop putting his service record up on the plasma.
"He was a Lieutenant Colonel and Served with me. He was a very good friend of mine and I know for a fact that he didn't have any enemies. He actually was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel after I retired and joined NCIS. He named me the Godmother of his only daughter. She is five years old now and very talented on the piano like her father." I sighed softly remembering my friend that had been by my side through basic training as well as through several missions. I pulled out a picture of Nessie and me on the swings at the park. "This was taken two months ago when they learned that I was going to become an agent." I shook my head returning to the case.
"He surprisingly didn't have any problems taking orders from me despite the fact that I was only a year older than him. He was a very good marine and someone who would have made a good agent in time. Sir, I want to be the one to tell Bella the bad news." I looked at Gibbs who was giving me a soft look.
"Alright, Jess, you can do the honors. Take McGee with you." I nodded and gathered my things before taking the keys from Tim. We were driving for about a half an hour when we pulled up to the Cullen house. I pulled into the drive way of the two story Victorian style house. I put the car in park and we got out. I walked to the door and knocked on it.
Little Nessie came and opened the door. She looked confused at Tim but when she saw me she lunged into my arms. "Auntie Jess." She squeaked. I smiled down at the little redheaded girl and held her close. "Hello sweetie, is your mommy here?" She nodded. "Mama is in the kitchen making lunch." I walked into the house with Tim following me.
Bella came out of the kitchen and saw me and then she saw Tim. "Jess, What's wrong? Edward isn't here right now." She said taking Nessie from my arms. "I know." I told her softly. I looked at Nessie. "Sweetie, I need to talk to your Mommy for a few minutes. Why don't you take my friend Tim here, and show him the piano and play him a song or two?" Nessie nodded and took Tim by the hand and lead him away. He looked back at me confused but realized what I was doing.
I walked with Bella to the Living room. "Bells I have some bad news." I told her as we sat down on the couch. "What is it Jess?" She asked softly. I sighed. "Bells. Edward was found dead today at Quantico. I am so sorry to have to tell you this but it is better coming from a friend than from my boss at NCIS or from Tony who would possibly try to hit on you. Or from Ziva who is former Musad." Bella looked shocked and then broke down in my arms sobbing. "Shh, Shh. I know that it is difficult but I promise you that we will find the one who did this and bring him to justice." I told her stroking her long brown hair.
Soon Tim and Nessie came back into the living room to see Bella crying. "Why is Mama crying?" Nessie asked walking over to us. "I just had to give her some bad news, sweetie." I told her. "Mama when is daddy coming home?" Bella, who had been calming down, burst into tears again. "He isn't sweetie. Your daddy was found dead today at Quantico." Nessie looked sad and I stood from the couch and picked my Goddaughter up and held her gently.
"Don't worry sweetie, we will find who did this and bring them to justice." She looked up at me. "Promise?" She asked in a shaky voice. I smiled at her. "Cross my heart." She nodded before burring her face into my shoulder and crying just as hard as her mother.
