Nowhere To Go: Investigating Officer Gray

"DING!" the lift door opened and Gibbs walked into the office, he sees his staff all at their desk, Tony and Kate were going through some papers while McGee was on the computer. He asked as he walked to his table "What have we got?"

Kate stood up and walked to the front of Gibb's table while Gibbs took a seat.

"I went over to Petty Officer Gray's ship and talked to her CO, he said that she was a good officer and followed orders" said Kate

"But!" said Tony as he got up and walked up to Gibb's table, standing alongside Kate

"Some of the ladies on the ship says that Petty Officer Gray was the kind that well…got along well with guys" said Tony

"Wait!" said McGee as he typed like mad on his keyboard, "Look at the screen!" he said, and all turned around to see the plasma screen

"This is Petty Officer Gray's file, she's been involved in fights" said McGee

"Ooh! Cat fights! Oh, and Gray's hot too!" said Tony, Kate rolled her eyes while Gibbs got up and smack Tony's head

"Pay attention!" said Gibbs and he got back into his seat again. Tony rubbed the back of his head

"Her fight involved a Petty Officer… Jennifer Wilder" said McGee, then he pulled up Wilder's file and put it on screen

"They both trained together" said Tony

"Her file is almost the same as Gray's, it's clean but only for that 3 fights with each other" said Kate as she folded her arms

"And she's pretty!" whispered Tony to Kate, Kate rolled her eyes again, Gibbs whacked Tony's head again

"You have ears of a dog!" said Tony as he rubbed his head, then he could sense Gibbs standing up and he quickly made a save "And that's good! Investigators like us must be sensitive to these kinda things!"

"McGee!" called Gibbs as he walked to the screen, "Any idea why they fought?"

"No boss, both refused to tell the reason for their fights, so it was never recorded" replied McGee

"Where is she now?" asked Gibbs

"She's transferred off to another ship" replied McGee

"McGee, give Kate the location! Kate, get Petty Officer Jennifer Wilder here now!" said Gibbs, Kate nodded and went to her desk to get her stuff and took a piece of paper that McGee had just printed out and left

……………………………………………………………………………………

Petty Officer Jennifer Wilder sat in the interrogation room, both her hands on the table, putting her hands together, her thumbs ran in circles around each other. She was nervous, when Kate called her in, she didn't explain why she was being taken to NCIS. Both Tony and Kate were watching in the other room. Both standing at the Window that was a mirror on the other side, arms folded.

"You think she has anything to do with this?" Tony asked Kate

"Maybe, you?" asked Kate in return

"Nah! I don't think so, a girl that hot couldn't have done something like that" said Tony

"You're so shallow! Don't you ever learn!" Said Kate with a little annoyance in her voice, Tony just smiled, as if he didn't hear what she said, but he did

Gibbs walked into the interrogation room with a glass of water in one hand and a file tucked under his other arm, he sat down in front of Wilder and put the glass on the table, then he pushed it to her.

"Why am I here, sir?" asked Wilder, trying to put up a brave front but her voice betrayed her nervousness as it shook a little when she spoke, she took the glass of water with both hands and took a sip

Gibbs opened the file he had and took out a picture, it was the picture of Kelly Gray

"Do you know her?" asked Gibbs as he pushed the picture to her, she put down her glass and took a look. She nodded in recognition.

"This is Kelly Gray. We trained together and we even served on the same ship once " she replied

"She's missing" said Gibbs

"How?" asked Wilder, she looked genuinely concerned

"That's what we want to find out… we read both your files, the only black marks you both had on the records are the fact that you both fought each other. But you never revealed the reasons of your fights" said Gibbs, as he looked at her, scanning her face for whatever emotion, she seemed sad, then she said

"We both were friends, but then I found out that she and my boyfriend were both cheating on me, I got angry and I confronted her, and she ended up being such a bitch, saying some stuff that really hurt me" said Wilder, then paused. "I took a swing at her and she pushed me to the floor and we both fought, working on the same ship with her was really hard for me. Every time we met we would exchange insults and at times we would end up in fights. I couldn't take it anymore, so I got myself transferred. But that was 2 years ago"

"This boyfriend you talked about…what's his name?" asked Gibbs

"Jack Reeves…but he died a year ago in a car accident" said Wilder and tears got into her eyes, she took her glass of water and drank it all

"I may have hated Kelly 2 years ago, but I've forgiven her. I didn't do it if that's what you wanna know. I've not seen her for a long time" she said and put her glass down. Gibbs nodded and took her glass and stood up and left the room

"Boss, her story checked out, Jack Reeves did die in a car accident, it was drunk driving" said McGee over the phone.

"What about the time of the crime, where was she?" asked Gibbs.

"Witnesses saw her in a bar the whole night and went home drunk around 2 in the morning... it couldn't have been her then" said McGee

"Don't be too sure!" said Gibbs as he hung up on McGee

The door to Abby's lab slides open and Gibbs enters to find Abby at her computer, typing rapidly, Abby turns around and sees Gibbs and smiles

"Aww! For me!" said Abby as she took her Big Gulp from Gibbs

"I've got you something else" said Gibbs and showed her a glass inside a plastic bag, it was the glass used by Wilder

"Ah, evidence!" said Abby and took it from him

"I've got her saliva and finger prints on that" said Gibbs

"It'll do!" said Abby as she put on gloves

"So, what have you got?" asked Gibbs

"I've only managed to get half of the blood samples tested. McGee gave me at least a hundred of them. But then again it was a big puddle of blood. I just put in the other half for tests" replied Abby as she opened the plastic "With the results I've gotten so far, I can be certain that it's the Gray's blood, it's an 80 match"

"How long till the rest are done" asked Gibbs

"It'll take hours… till tomorrow" replied Abby

"That's not fast enough! I'm giving you tomorrow morning" said Gibbs as he walked away

"Hey! Gibbs! Where are you going?" asked Abby

"Home! Remember, I want this by tomorrow morning" said Gibbs as he left the lab

Kate, Tony and McGee were in their office. McGee and Kate were packing their stuff, Tony only watched.

"Oh well! I guess it's the office floors for me tonight" said Tony, Kate and McGee pretend that they didn't hear that

"Oh well, goodnight, Tony!" said Kate as she walked to the lift and waited for the lift to come

"Night!" said McGee as he took his stuff and started to walk, as he walked in front of Tony's desk, Tony jumped at McGee and grabbed his arm

"Please probie! Please let me stay with you for a few nights! Please! Ok! At least one night! Guys like me are not meant to sleep on their office floors" pleaded Tony. McGee shook off Tony's grip and ran for the lift

"Ding!" the lift door opened just in time, both Kate and McGee got in the lift. Kate pressed the close button repeatedly, when the door closed, both Kate and McGee laughed
