A/N: Okay sorry for the long wait but I wasn't getting any reviews and I didn't know if anyone wanted me to continue. Well this chapter will have the NCIS agents in it and if I get there character wrong please forgive me. I haven't watched the show as much as I've watched CSI and I believe I'm not getting those characters perfect either. Please review because reviews make me happy. Here is the chapter:

Chapter Four:

09:30 June 9th 2002
Outside NCIS Headquarters

All four NCIS Agents were gathered just outside HQ discussing the Minn murder. Gibbs stood sipping his coffee as the others argued over motives. All their evidence had run up dry and both of their suspects had disappeared. Earlier Gibbs had received a call saying one has been found dead in a Las Vegas hotel and one of there CSIs was being sent of to help out on this side. They had pulled into the lot ten minutes ago with some breakfast and had gathered at one of the tables.

Tony was wearing jeans and a black button up shirt under a beige jacket. He was sitting across from Kate and both had different motives. Kate was in a pair of tan dress pants and a red tank top under her black NCIS issued jacket. McGee agreed with Kate on her motive and was wearing a suit under a black trench coat.

Gibbs was listening to the all their theories and motives as he sipped his coffee. He was in black pants with a black button up shirt over a white tee shirt and under his black NCIS issued jacket. He was sitting next to Tony with his back to the table. McGee was across from him trying to be included in the argument.

"Come on Tony you have no evidence to support the ex-husband as the murder," Kate exclaimed. "Well you do but still he has no motive."

"Please she got remarried and he didn't," Tony shrugged. "He was jealous."

"Then why not kill the new husband," Kate smirked.

"Well you say it is the Lt. but yet the evidence against him is explainable. It is his house and his bedroom," Tony replied smirking himself. "What motive does he have?"

"Affair," she began holding up a finger for each motive. "Possible she wanted divorce. Disrespected him. Anything really to piss him off," shrugged. "He is my suspect. I mean ..."

"Wow sweet ride," Tony said as a black corvette with a license plate that read 'rule one'pulled up right into the parking space in front of them. Kate rolled her eyes as the door opened.

"I am not going to die of coffee," a sweet voice said from inside. The women sounded as if she was half serious and half joking. "So what I had three cups on the plane and four since I got off ... yes I'm on my fifth but I don't care right now ..." The women stepped from the car and shut the door.

She wore a pair of blue jeans with a black leather belt that had a cell phone clipped to it along with what appeared to be a gun holster and a badge. Her shirt had remand pink flowers and black palm trees overlapping that rested right above her jeans and showed some skin in the front.(A/N If anyone wants a better visual I got the outfit from the episode Cross Jurisdictions. Catherine wore it at the end of the episode. Back to my story) A pair of black boots stuck out underneat her jeans. Her cell was being held in her left hand and a briefcase and cup of coffee was in her right.

"Hey look a red head for Gibbs," Tony whispered, receiving a smack in the back of the head from Gibbs himself, referring to the strawberry blonde hair that was flowing in the soft breeze.

"Look War I have to go ... corvette why?" She laughed softly. "I didn't pay for it someone is trying to piss me off ... rule one oh and we can't forget the rose with a card reading rule two ... nope I won't tell you what either rule is bye," she hung up and placed her phone in the clip on her belt. Reaching up she lifted her sunglasses up and placed them on the top of her head. Walking over to the table she smiled. "Anyone care to tell me where I could find Special Agent Gibbs?"

"How may I help you," Gibbs asked standing up to face her.

"I'm here about the Minn murder case," she replied placing her briefcase and coffee on the table. The others around the table also stood. "I take it," she looked at Kate. "Your Agent Caitlin Todd," she tilted her head towards Tony. "Agent Antonio DiNozzo and Agent Timothy McGee." She smirked at their surprised looks. It looked like they hadn't been informed of her arrival. Turning to look at Gibbs she was surprised to see he also looked confused. "I'm Catherine Willows from the Las Vegas Crime Lab."

"Oh I'm sorry I was expecting someone ..."

"Younger?" she smiled and he laughed causing the other three to open their mouths in shock.

"No nerdy," he corrected with a slight smile.

"Oh I left my nerd glass at home but I'll try by best to remain nerdy," she gave him a sweet smile. Kate watched Tony look Catherine up and down and rolled her eyes slightly. "Well your not exactly what I was expecting either."

"And what exactly was that Ms. Willows," Gibbs asked.

"Well," she reached up and replaced her sunglasses over her eyes. Grabbing her briefcase and her coffee she turned. "A Conrad Ecklie in away. Shall we get to work?"

Gibbs walked in front of her leading the way. Tony walked up on one side of her and Kate on the other. McGee walked behind everyone as they made their way into the building. "So Ms. Willows ..." Tony began.

"Catherine." She interrupted sipping her coffee.

"Okay ... Catherine mind if I say you look stunning in that ..."

"I'm too old for you kid," she looked at him out of the corner of her eye. He had stopped walking but the others continued. Kate was laughing along with McGee.

"Oh I have to tell Abby that one!" She exclaimed and Tony ran to catch up. Again he was standing next to Catherine.

"Well I know you're not too young for Gibbs and I must warn you he has a thing for red heads," he looked at Gibbs to make sure he wasn't listening. Thinking he wasn't he continued. "All three of his ex-wives had red hair."

"And this is a bad thing," she replied stopping all three in there tracks. Walking up next to Gibbs she smirked. The others rushed to catch up again. They were heading towards a meeting room to discuss the case, having easily gotten through security after Gibbs confirmed she was with them. "Is Agent DiNozzo always like that or is it only when he forgets to take his meds?"

"Always," Gibbs replied. Slightly behind them Tony Kate and McGee were discuss their bosses' behavior around Catherine.

"It looks as if he has a nice side," Tony had a small smirk. "Or he is flirting. Either way this is a big change. We must warn Abby."

"For once Tony I agree with you," Kate said receiving two shocked looks.

"At least we get to see a side of Gibbs we've never seen before," McGee replied.

"Who rented the corvette for you," Gibbs asked. "And what is rule one?"

"A friend rented it and rule one is nothing important," she lied about the last part.

"Boyfriend?"

"Single."

"Hard to believe that someone with your looks is single."

"Well trying to raise an eight year old girl, work, and date is rather hard. Not to include some other things in my personal life."

"Let me guess divorced."

"Once and apparently you have been divorced three times I believe," she smirked at the small smile he had.

"Tony talks too much."

"Tony is easy to handle," she replied. "I work with two Tonys' back in Vegas. The macho girl magnet."

"What about the other people you work with?"

"Let's see there is the adult teenage lab rat, the brunette who needs to learn that her efforts are best put elsewhere, two men that Tony can't even compare to. In both the looks and brains category, Nick is from Texas and is brilliant when he needs to be and Warrick grew up in Vegas and knows what to say and when. A 5'11" workaholic who needs to learn to let people in more often and not to run away from his pathetic problems whilst chasing others. But he is a great friend to have."

"Here we are," he lead them into a meeting room where a man was already standing.

"Gibbs," the man acknowledged the man with a nod.

"Catherine Willows Director Tom Morrow," Gibbs introduced and then walked towards the back of the room. Tony and McGee went to take seats. The Director followed Gibbs while Catherine went to the front and opened her briefcase. Kate walked up to her.

"What is rule one?" She asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Don't sleep with the ex-husband," she stated simply and pulled out a couple folders. Placing her coffee down she looked at Kate. "What do you really want to ask me?"

"Um ... what do you think of Gibbs," she asked softly and yet nervously.

"I hardly know him," Catherine turned and walked over to where Gibbs was. Kate went over to Tony and McGee and quickly filled them in. "Look I'm not interested in getting to know each one of you," she informed the two men who both looked at her. Tom was smiling slightly. "All I care about is finding Aimee Armstrong and putting a murder behind bars."

"Aimee Armstrong is missing," Gibbs asked. "Do you have evidence to prove that?"

"Seeing how her father is the victim and he was found alone in a hotel room yes. Greg is still processing our DNA evidence. The Vics is Major Armstrong, she forced back laughter and a smile. "Now he has to compare that to all six swabs of DNA we collected at the scene," behind her the other three were listening closely. "Jacqui confirmed Greg's DNA match with the Vics fingerprints and is now comparing his prints to the 17 prints and one hand print found at the scene. Bobby is having fun with the service weapon we found.'
'The samples of DNA come from," the three files she had pulled from the briefcase were sitting on the table and not once did she look inside one. "A bloody tee-shirt girl small, the hand print, and the other four are from various parts in the room from the struggle. We also collected a Dora the Explorer book bag, his .9 mm service weapon from the nightstand - hasn't been fire all bullets in magazine. The bloody hand print we found was small, childlike most likely from Aimee Armstrong she probably touched her dad before she was taken. And Dr. Al Robbins is faxing his autopsy report over to Dr. Mallard. COD was blunt force trauma to the back of the head. Most likely due to the lamp on the nightstand, found broken near the body. Robbins found parts of the lamp in the back of his head and sent it to Hodges who is comparing it to our lamp, Grissom could also be doing it but he has bigger things to worry about right now. Time of death was around 7:30."

"You memorized all this," Tony said shocked.

"Yes I also collected most of that evidence, touched the body, took pictures of the scene, and I also read over the case files on the plane here so I knew what we had."

"And what exactly is this Grissom busy with," Tom asked sternly.

"With him ... who knows," she said a bit angrily. Sighing she smiled. "Arguing with the sheriff and Ecklie on weather or not it was a wise choice to send me here most likely."

10:00
Las Vegas Crime Lab

Grissom made his way back into the building having received two pages about his evidence. Greg had results along with Jacqui and both seemed a bit flustered when he arrived. Cocking and eyebrow he looked at them both. "Why are both of you in the Chem. lab?"

"Alright," Greg placed his hand on his results. "Blood from hand print shirt and lamp are a match to the vic, which was a bit expected. The hair follicle matches a blood sample from the lamp and has seven alleles in common with the Vic. The DNA from the bathroom sink, door handle, and bathroom floor all is a match - all came up in CODIS."

"Of the 17 prints," Jacqui began before he could ask questions. She too placed a hand on her results. "There are 3 unknown, small most likely a child and match that of the hand print. Seven belong to the victim. Another seven are unknown and all match prints in AFIS."

"Good job now tell me who they match," Grissom said getting irritated. "Otherwise they are no good."

"Um ... well," Greg picked up a file and handed it over at the same time Jacqui did. "They don't come with a name but ... there from the same case."

NCIS Meeting Room

Everyone was looking at her confused. She was looking down at the files in front of her and wasn't going to elaborate on her comment. Just as Kate was about to ask what she meant her cell phone began to ring. Quickly receiving it from its clip she answered. "Willows ...if I was skipping town why would I bring my cell phone with me ... Grissom sent me ... well again nights got the good cases ... Ecklie think hard about this. If I was trying to run don't you think I would have brought my child with me ... I'm not that cold Ecklie ..." her face slowly went from annoyance to anger. She was shooting daggers at the wall across from her. "She clawed me ... you are searching in the wrong place ... Ecklie you better hope that I forget that comment by the time I get back to Vegas because my first stop will be at the Sheriffs office," she hung up. Again her phone went off, letting off a laugh she answered.
"Willows ... Hello Sheriff ... Sheriff assure you that there is a logical explanation for that but right now isn't the time to be discussing it bye," she hung up and sighed.

"Uh ... what's going on," Tom asked suspiciously.

"Nothing," she replied. "It pertains to a different case back home. I've told you what I got you tell me what you got."

"Our Vic is your Vics ex-wife, Heather Minn remarried to a Lt. Seth Minn," Gibbs informed. "She was killed by a stab wound to the heart. Ducky can tell you more about the body latter. We found semen on the bed that belongs to Drake Armstrong, there was also fingerprints on the nightstand, headboard, and knife all belonging to Armstrong. Blood in bathroom belongs to Seth Minn, new husband, and a print on the knife belongs to him also. The blood on the knife of course is the Vics. At the moment Abby is working on getting into her computer, it is loaded with passwords. Our suspects were Armstrong and Minn now it seems like only Minn."

"I want to see the body and the crime scene before I do anything else," she informed. "I know I'm here to help you but in order for me to do that I have to look at everything."

"Okay. McGee go help Abby. DiNozzo, Kate go ..." Gibbs began but was interrupted by the ringing of Catherine's cell phone.

"Sorry," she said and pulled the cell phone back out. A large smile played across her face as she answered. "Hey! ... He did now. Aren't you a special little girl ... I'm not sure Grissom is up to a day like that again. He is rather old you know ... hey that is mean ... sweetie I have to get to work but I'll call you later ... Eddie will you put Lindsey back on ... you tried that already and you damn well know it isn't true," she was again getting angry. "I can't control where my cases take me. It is my job that is supporting hers your money is wasted on other things ... it meant nothing ... damn it Eddie put Lindsey back on the phone before I ... hello sweetie ... no mommy isn't angry I was just discussing something with your daddy ... okay I'll call you as soon as I can okay ... love you baby bye," she hung up. Again everyone was looking at her.

"McGee go now," Gibbs said quickly getting back to work. "DiNozzo, Kate I want you to take Catherine's files and go read over them. Look at all the pictures and notes she has and see if you can find something she or someone else may have missed. Catherine we have a body to visit."
