A/N: Sorry for the delay folks, here's a new chapter for you! To my latest followers/favourites, welcome aboard! To my reviewers thank you so much! And sorry for not replying to your latest reviews, but i'm pretty busy & want to get this posted! I love reading your comments, they keep me inspired!
Without further ado, let's see exactly what Ms Delilah is going to say! And how Gibbs, Tony & Myles will react or even Hollis...
Gibbs was shocked but he narrowed his eyes at the woman "explain!" he barked, he knew he wasn't alone in his shock at the news.
"His mother Susan is my dad's sister" Delilah whispered
"Explain why you didn't say anything earlier!" Gibbs barked, while he hadn't seen her since they'd gotten back from the port, she could have surely said something already! They'd been looking into the man for some time!
"Didn't think it was my cousin that we were looking for, thought it was someone else, Loch is a common Scottish name" Delilah remarked "I don't believe he had anything to do with Kaplan's disappearance" at least she hoped he didn't, but she'd had very bad feeling about it all.
"He kidnapped my son!" Gibbs barked furiously.
Delilah stared at him, she knew something had happened, the amount of activity on the base had increased as her time in the park went on. She presumed it was something to do with Kaplan's disappearance, but she wasn't expecting this! "I'm sorry?"
Gibbs narrowed his eyes again "Are you telling me that you don't know that your cousin & these men attached & kidnapped my son & left 3 others in the hospital?!" he demanded
"Including my brother!" Myles added
"No" Delilah admitted "and I don't know who you & your brother is"
"I'm Lieutenant Myles Bond and my brother is Captain Michael Bond, he's fighting for his life because of your cousin!" Myles barked
"These men, these men" Gibbs barked standing up & pointing to the headshots on the table "they kidnapped my son! They assaulted Captain Bond, NCIS Senior Agent Quinton & Ensign Evans, all three of whom are in hospital! Your cousin has been identified as the ringleader! You are going to tell me every g-d damn thing you know!"
Delilah shook her head "my cousins couldn't do what you're saying"
"Then why'd you go AWOL? You were gone for hours? You go meet with him?" Tony demanded, he was still reeling from learning that the guy was her cousin! He then had a thought & grabbed his phone to text his team.
"I…" Delilah began, she took a breath "I was trying to work out if it could have been him, and I haven't seen him in over a year" she replied.
Gibbs had caught something she'd said earlier "you said cousins, are you telling me that these men are also your family?!" he barked.
"I don't understand what's going on!" Delilah yelled half crying it out.
Gibbs held up the photo of the man sitting in the other interrogation room "Name!"
"Jethro Lancert, Loch's brother" Delilah whispered "I don't know what's going on!" she cried again, could they not give her a minute?
"When was the last time you spoke to them Delilah?" Hollis asked, she couldn't believe Jethro had been right & she knew more than she'd let on!
"Yesterday" Delilah whispered
"What did he say?" Hollis asked, trying to be smoother than Jethro was being.
"Just asked what I was up to, we try to keep up with each others lives" Delilah answered, she had no idea what her cousin's had to do with any of this mess!
"What did you tell them!?" Tony asked briskly.
"That I was here in Naples working on a case & if possible I'd stop off to see them on the way home" Delilah replied.
"Details! You mention anything about me or my family?" Gibbs demanded
Delilah took a breath before lifting her head "Look, I know you think that my cousins are involved in this, but my family are peaceful. I really don't believe they are involved"
Gibbs stood & turned to the mirror "roll the video of the pair leaving the snipers nest!" he ordered
Myles kept a firm gaze on her as she watched her cousins walk down the street.
Delilah saw her cousins walking down a street "so they're here in Naples, they didn't tell me but that doesn't mean it was them that kidnapped or assaulted anyone!"
"The other one!" Gibbs barked, while he knew it was going to be hard for himself to watch, he needed to show the lady that it was them that took his boy, that assaulted the trio, he pointed to screen "Watch!" he barked.
Myles watched her as she watched the video, he tried to zone it out himself, he couldn't view it again. Listening to it though was just as painful & he just couldn't stop himself when it finished "your cousin ran my brother over! Shot him! And took Phoenix! You're family are anything but peaceful!" he barked coming closer to her.
Tony couldn't say he didn't feel the same way as Myles, but he stepped forward to try to pull Myles back a bit & calm him down.
Delilah didn't know what to say, she was horrified! "I….." she took a breath, she was utterly beside herself! "I'm sorry, I'm.. I've never known them to…." she just couldn't say it.
Gibbs took a few calming breaths, having that video play again had been excruciatingly painful. Sitting himself down he eyed the lady, he could see that she was genuinely shocked "I want every goddam detail you know! And you can start with the conversation from yesterday!"
Delilah took a few deep breaths "Loch called me and we spoke for maybe 20 minutes, I asked how they were, he asked how I was. I…."
Tony saw she was hesitating "you what?!" he demanded, he didn't care how shocked she was, he wanted answers!
"I told him that someone here had had an issue with me & asked if I was connected to a MacDonald Fielding, thought maybe he'd know him or anything, because I don't" Delilah finally said, she did her best to avoid Gibbs's gaze.
Gibbs eyed her "you mention me by name?"
"Yes" Delilah swallowed
Tony heard a knock at the door & opened it, Zuse passed him an envelope, he simply nodded before closing the door again & facing Delilah, he walked right up to her & placed the image in front of her from the folder he'd been given "so you don't know this man?" he'd placed an image of Mac in front of her.
Gibbs saw her eyes widened at the image "name?!"
"That's… " Delilah took a breath "that's Jeremiah Fielding, my uncle, he died just under a year ago"
"Jeremiah?" Gibbs, Tony & Myles all queried, huh?
"Yes" Delilah answered "who's he to you?"
"How'd he die?" Gibbs asked, he wasn't going to answer her question yet.
"According to my dad he died in a car accident in Scotland" Delilah answered, why were they now interested in her uncle?
"Did he live in Scotland?" Gibbs asked, car accident his arse!
"No, Texas" Delilah confirmed
"When did you see him last" Gibbs prodded
"Maybe 3 years ago? I only saw him on the odd occasion he came to DC once I lived there" Delilah answered
"You never went to Texas to see him?" Myles asked, what the heck was Mac playing at?
"No, he never liked people visiting his home & my mother didn't like us to go either" Delilah answered
"Your mother didn't like your uncle?" Gibbs prodded
"My parents divorced when I was 5 & my mum moved me & brother with her to the US. She didn't really like us spending time with our dad's family, said they were the wrong sort. I never saw it when we did go during some of our summer vacations" Delilah answered, she took a breath "look, while I'd love to sit here & tell you about my family history I don't understand what's going on. I am truly shocked at what my cousins have done, can you give me some hint please?"
Gibbs picked up the picture of Mac to show to her "this man, this uncle of yours, Jeremiah"
Hollis wondered where he was going with this, did he know this Jeremiah?
"What about him?" Delilah asked
"The name we, I know him by" Gibbs stated & took a breath "MacDonald Fielding! The man that stole my family from me over 20 years ago!"
Hollis's eyes widened Delilah's uncle was the same person that stole his family? My word! She had no idea what to say! Things were rather complicated!
Delilah paled, she didn't know what this MacDonald had done but "you have your family here with you"
"Because 10 months ago I found out what he'd done & I'd gotten them back!" Gibbs said briskly before adding "oh, and he didn't die in a car crash, he was shot by an equally sick man in the ensuing fallout" he didn't care he was being harsh, he really wasn't caring about her at all!
Myles was enjoying seeing her pale & shocked, she should feel bad! Her family was truly fucked up! He then felt his phone vibrate & he looked to see who it was, it was his brother! "Got something! Mrs G wants you all to come back up! Like now!"
Myles stepped forward & held his phone out for Gibbs to see, he didn't want to tell her a word "sir" he remarked, showing him the screen.
Gibbs took the screen in & his eyes widened, while he wanted to keep going with Delilah, he wouldn't delay in seeing what Marcus had, especially if his wife wanted him up there! He rose & turned to his agents in the observation room, he simply beckoned them out of the room with a swift head motion.
Gibbs looked down to Delilah "you are going tell my agents every single little detail you know about your family & answer any questions they have or so help me g-d, you will not like the consequences!" he barked, he looked over to Hollis "do not interfere!" he remarked briskly before leaving the room swiftly motion for Tony to follow as well, he knew Myles would be on his six anyway.
"Boss?" Donnelly asked cautiously, he must be seething, absolutely seething!
"Every detail Donnelly, every little bit of her family connections I want" Gibbs remarked eyeing his agent
"Of course boss" Donnelly nodded "do you want us to use this connection with our other guest? It might be just the revelation to get him to trip up" I mean they now knew his name! Jethro Lancert, they could use that!
Gibbs considered it, it may but.. "no, I don't want him knowing that we've got his cousin & that we know who he is & how they're all related" he shifted his eyes to Johns, her SFA "get Yates & some of the others to run the names she gives us" his shifted back to Donnelly "lets get the intel working for us without letting on anything, the less he knows we know the better"
Donnelly nodded "right boss, she looked to her SFA "get Meoli or Dodd down here, they can remain in the observation room & feed the names upstairs to Yates & Aymond"
"Yes ma'am" Johns nodded
Tony had seen the text so he knew why they were leaving but Hollis hadn't come out of the room yet, so he presumed she was staying but then he saw her emerge.
Gibbs saw that Hollis had just come out of the room "if you stay in there, you keep out of Donnelly's way! Or Johns will remove you!"
"I am just as shocked at this revelation as you are Jethro" Hollis remarked the last thing I want to do is stand in the way of getting information, but I'd thought you'd keep going?" Surely he'd not leave until he'd gotten all the information.
Myles could see Gibbs tense further, there was clearly no love lost between the pair "because my brother's got something on the plane that took Phoenix!"
Gibbs didn't even say a word he simply started walking down the hall, both Tony & Myles were on his six in an instant & he realised fairly quickly that so was Hollis, he let out a breath, why was she coming to? He was almost at the squad room when he saw Tristan.
"I was just coming to get you" Tristan remarked "there are some people here to see the two of you" she looked between Gibbs & Tony.
Gibbs & Tony shared a look, there were people here to see them, now of all times? Who could possibly be here of importance with the relevant clearance to gain access to not just the base but the NCIS building too? They were on total & complete lock down?!
Tony followed close behind Gibbs into the squad-room, he saw a cluster of people standing in his bullpen & as he got closer his eyes widened in complete shock, what on earth? What were they doing here?
A/N: So she is related to Mac! And she is related to those men, not good! But she did seem very shocked at the news, and at least her mum knew something was up with her father's family!? The question right at this point in time is what does Marcus have on the plane? And who are in the squad-room to see Tony & Gibbs?
