A/N: This is one of the quickest updates I've done (that's just cos im swamped with work and next week doesn't look like ill have anytime them!  )Prinne, email me from my profile and we'll sort something out! I'm coming back home to Adelaide from Melbourne on the 15th April weekend (my 18th…..finally, bday!) Thanku's for the reviews:)… for #3: the answer is the band "Within Temptation" who had a song called 'Ice Queen' as a single from their album 'Mother Earth'! Congrts Sky27! ...Well! That's it just a short rant today! Lol! Thanx beta-Jenny+ Review me :P xxx claire

Kate, Gibbs, Tony and McGee stood on the other side of the glass of the interrogation room, studying their suspect who had to have restraints so that she would stay put! It was closing in on an hour and she was yet to speak a word since being taken into custody, other than the usual slander and abuse.

Kate stared intently at the suspect; she had this- unusual… gut feeling that she recognized the suspect from somewhere. It was on the tip of her tongue and now it was starting to annoy her.

"Do you think she's ready, boss?" Asked Tony, breaking their silent observation.

Gibbs turned to the tech guy and indicated to him to turn on the recording equipment. This one was going to be tough to break, but she hadn't met Gibbs.

The trio watched as Gibbs smoothly entered the interrogation room.

The woman barely raised a glance, her hands handcuffed to the back of her chair.

Gibbs- now in his usual cold demure- sat down opposite the suspect with his back to the mirror screen. Also on the table were a couple of evidence bags.

"Would you like to tell me your name?"

There was suddenly a 'thwack' sound made against the mirror glass, Gibbs ignored it by strongly clearing his throat and confidently continuing.

"Well, that doesn't matter really… I don't really need it except to name the file I'll be handing over to the FBI."

The woman looked Gibbs directly in the eye, matching his interrogation tactic.

"I don't have to tell you anything."

Gibbs chuckled inwardly; he'd begun to break her, "You know, a maximum security prison isn't a pretty place for a woman. Anyone for that matter, in fact every other day an inmate just-". Gibbs pauses and lowers his voice to a whisper, "-disappears."

Stage 2: Threat and Intimidation

"You are facing serious charges and no 'higher power' is going to help you out. You won't even be able to see the sky to pray where you're heading."

Gibbs opens a bag labeled "Jane Doe Evidence", pulling out a well-folded piece of paper. On it was a list of 20 lines of text in two columns. On one side there was what seemed to be initials of names and on the other a sequence of numbers.

Stage 3: Evidence explanation by reaction

"What does this mean?" Gibbs prodded, pushing the paper flat on the table and in her view.

The woman didn't even take a glance, she knew exactly what it was and wasn't going to give anything away. Gibbs recognized this immediately. It meant that whatever- or who ever- she was working for was going to be revealed once the meaning to the information on the paper was discovered.

Gibbs had gotten all he needed to know. He was now going to let her wait- hopefully let her paranoia take over.

Gibbs gathered the two evidence bags and left the interrogation room.

Inside the Viewing Room

Tony spoke up as soon as Gibbs left the room, "I think I've seen her somewhere before."

"Should I catalogue your magazines for referencing, Tony?" Quipped McGee as he approached the mirror screen so that he could eye to suspect more closely.

Tony asserted his agent status, again, by attempting to thwack the back of McGee's head, however since this was becoming a usual occurrence McGee had recently learned to duck.

THWACK! Went Tony's hand against the mirror screen.

All three agents stepped back in horror and…fright!

However they were all quite relieved when Gibbs continued on with the interrogation. A few minutes they watched as Gibbs picked up the evidence bags on the table and exited the room.

The trio quickly scurried for position- with the best towards the back of the room. Kate unfortunately became the sacrificial lamb thanks to a simultaneous back and shoulder push to the front by Tony and McGee.

A split second later Gibbs entered the room with a 'who-dared-to-disrupt-my-interrogation' glare…but instantly softened.

Are those two catching on? Damn those two are getting smart… Gibbs thought.

He decided to ignore it- for now.

"McGee…Tony- get onto records, search every database there is and find a name for this suspect!"

"Com'on Kate, we're going to see Abby."

The two…boys… breathed a sigh of relief and then dashed out of the room behind Kate as she followed Gibbs down to Abby's lab.

Abby's Lab:Tuesday 1021

(Hungry Lucy's- Journey)

"Gibbs!-" Exclaimed Abby as she spun around in her chair at her work station by the door, "I know what triggered the explosion that made Lt Mc Cutheans place deeper than the Grand Canyon!"

Gibbs leaned over her desk, unfolding the bit of paper and dropping it on her keyboard, however not stopping with their playful conversation.

"And?"

"And…" Abby imitated, reproducing that same poker face, "- the explosion was triggered by the door handle opening which mean that it was meant for Lt. McCuthen or Lt. Robertson. You guys just got in the way." She indicated to Kate.

"Lucky us" Kate smiled sarcastically crossing her arms against her chest.

"It was a triggered by a set of laser sensors, like the one used for home security, however instead of calling the cops this one ignited a timed 60 second bomb." Abby explained as she brought up picture on her screen of the 'alleged' sensors.

"A bit of over kill?" Gibbs suggested.

"They were just making sure that they were well inside the apartment first." Kate concluded.

Suddenly the thoughts of her visit to the apartment triggered something.

FLASHBACK

The label on one of the discarded shirts had Lt. McCuthen, so she now knew that she was in the right room. Kate scanned over the floor and then noticed a broken picture frame on the floor next to the bed. She picked it up and looked it over, it was a picture of a stunningly beautiful woman however the photo looked like it had been torn and then stuck back together.

"Must have been that ex-girlfriend…" She muttered, "…how lucky can he be to get her?" Kate noted and then turned her attention back to the laptop computer and checked for any recent files.

Kate stood silently still, no able to move a muscle as she assessed the information.

"Gibbs, Gibbs… I know who our suspect is!"
