Chapter eleven
Tony came with a big yawn downstairs already showered and dressed, ready to go after breakfast.
'Whoa, what did you do! Stayed up all night?', came Shannon's shocked voice.
'No ma'am, only half of it,' came his sleepy reply. 'Is there coffee?'
'Sweety, you do remember to whom I'm married?'
'Point taken, as for your question, had a rough night.'
'Yeah, I can see that, and don't you start your FLETC training today?'
'Yeah, I start at nine and if things work out the way it's supposed to I'll be in the office at noon.'
'Hold on DiNozzo, I'm gonna talk to Morrow, ask him to clear you from FLETC.' spoke Gibbs.
'But all agents are supposed to follow FLETC.'
'Yes, but I hope your six years of experience will make Morrow reconsider, you could still make the assignments and I'll look them over but I need you on this case.'
'No complaints from me, I'm not much of a school banks kind of guy.'
'Let's go then,' Gibbs started to walk to the door when a voice stopped him.
'Leroy Jethro Gibbs, you sit your but down and let that boy eat some breakfast first, not everybody can survive the morning on coffee alone!'
Tony had to laugh, he just couldn't help himself.
'Your name is Leroy?', he asks between laughs.
Gibbs glared at Tony who quit laughing but still had a grin on his face.
'I would love some breakfast Shannon, thank you.'
Gibbs sighed and simply went for another coffee.
'See if you can find out who the commander is that our dead Petty Officer had words with, I'll be with the director.'
Tony gave Gibbs a nod and went to work.
Ten minutes into it Stan came in.
'Morning probie, shouldn't you be at FLETC?'
'Gibbs wanted me to hold off for a little while, he's talking to the director to see if I can learn the job in the field.'
'That would be nice, have you find anything on the commander?'
'I made some calls, the commander she had a fight with is Harold Jones, he is stationed at Quantico right at this moment.'
'Now, isn't that nice and convenient', Stan says.
'It is, so let's check it out, probie, gas the truck!', came Gibbs' voice from behind Tony whom immediately grabbed his chest from surprise.
'Jesus Gibbs! Give a guy a warning the next time! You almost gave me a heart attack!'
Gibbs ignored him and Stan laughed.
'You'll get used to it man, come, I'll show you the garage'
Together they walked away.
They arrived at Quantico and Tony had to fight to not throw up his breakfast.
He had been in a car with Gibbs a few times now but this was the first time he drove like...like...like well, he couldn't come up with something or someone to describe Gibbs' driving with.
'What the hell Gibbs! Were you trying to kill us!? If I was still a cop I would have pulled your as over, gave you a ticket and kept your drivers license, you damned bastard!'
Gibbs snorted.
'Like your police car would be able to keep up with me.', he lead them all to the front desk showing the woman behind it his credentials.
'I'm agent Gibbs, NCIS, we called for Commander Jones.'
'Ah, yes, can I see your agents' credentials to?'
Stan showed her his while Tony wasn't to sure what to show her.
'Tony there only just came to us, he doesn't have his credentials jet.'
'That's okay, as long as you can vouch for him it will be fine.'
Gibbs gave her a nod and she called for the commander.
'He'll be here in a minute, you can wait there.', she said while pointing at a couple of chairs.
They didn't have to wait long, after less than five minutes Jones came to them and shook their hand.
'We can talk in my office sir, it's a little more private.'
They followed Jones to a small office.
'What's this about?'
Tony spoke.
'As I explained we have a couple questions about Petty Officer Holly Swan.'
'She in trouble?'
'She's dead Commander, killed.'
'What! What happened?', Jones exclaimed 'She was off duty, heading for a good time in Baltimore.'
'There was a hold up in the Starbucks she was getting coffee at, three men entered and one of those guys seemed to know her, spoke to her then shot her, we identified him as Robbert or Rob Jones.', explained Tony. 'have you ever heard of him?'
'Yes I have, a couple months back Holly and he started to date, it went well for a few days but then he started to freak her out till the point that she lost sleep over it, I spoke to her about it and she admitted being scared from him admitting that he had raped her and that he got her pregnant, she asked me for help and I went to talk to him, a day after that she came at me, angry, yelling that I shouldn't have gone to him, she was really pissed about it.'
'That's what the fight was about?', Gibbs asks.
'Yes sir, I apologized to her told her that I saw no other way.'
'She forgive you?', it was the first time Stan had spoken and the commander had to turn around to face him.
'Yes sir, she did, wanted some time for herself to calm down and relax, that's why she was in Baltimore.'
'There were two other man with Michaels that day, can I show you some pictures so you can see if you know them?'
'Yes sir, go ahead.'
Tony showed him the sketches of the man looking like Heath Ledger and of the man looking like Michael Clarke Duncan.
'These were the men with Michaels.'
'No, sorry but I don't recognize either of them.'
'That's okay commander, if you remember anything else please don't hesitate to call.', said Tony as he put the sketches back in the file.
Gibbs gave the man his card and they left.
They sat down in their chairs at the office, they had learned a lot from the Commander but it was a lot of information that would be useless in finding Michaels, he didn't recognize the other two men so they basically had nothing.
'Okay probie, sum up what we know.', said Stan when Gibbs left for coffee.
'We know that the Petty Officer and Michaels were involved, Michaels freaked her out and she went to a colleague she trusts and told him she got raped, was pregnant en scared, the Commander went to talk to Michaels, the PO had an argument with him about that, she left for leave to Baltimore where she got shot by Michaels and two other accomplices who are yet to be identified which is probably why he probably chose them.'
Stan nodded.
'Then there is the question of how he knew them, and why they were there.'
'What if their soul purpose was just that, be there hold everyone busy by being scared and take the fall with him.'
'Could be, you think your old department is willing to take a look at those sketches?'
'I could fax them over to my old partner, he can ask around if anyone knows them.'
Stan gave him a nod.
'Do that, once your done I'll introduce you to the other members of the team.'
'There are more members?'
'Well yeah DiNozzo, we don't do all the work you know.', said Gibbs from behind him.
'The MCRT, that stands for Major Crime Response Team, works closely with the chief medical examiner and the forensics expert.'
'Okay, let me get this fax out and I'll come with you.'
Tony turned to scan the sketches in and to send a mail to Danny asking him about the sketches before faxing him.
'Ready when you are Stan.'
Stand went to get up but Gibbs stopped him.
'I'll introduce you, Stan, go for lunch.'
Gibbs walked to the elevator and Tony hurried after him.
'Kelly is coming over tonight for dinner, thought I should let you know.'
'Okay, thanks for the heads up.'
Tony spoke calm and like it didn't mean that much but secretly he was overjoyed that she was coming.
How could a woman he didn't even know for a week, mean this much to him?
'Did the director agree on letting me just make the FLETC assignments and let me learn while following you guys in the field?'
'Yeah, told him we need you in the field not in a class.'
They arrived at the lab and Tony could hear music blasting.
How the hell can anyone work in such noise?
Gibbs stopped the noise, didn't even try yelling at the figure.
'Hey!...oh hey Gibbs, what are you doing here? I have nothing for you, who's that?'
Whoa, all those words in only one breath...
'New agent on my team, Burley is going to take a promotion soon.'
'WHAT! But Gibbs, he can't leave, who will be having your back!?'
'Hence the new agent Abs,' Gibbs turned to Tony. 'Tony DiNozzo, meet our forensics expert, Abigail Sciuto, Abs, meet Tony DiNozzo.'
Abby looked with piercing eyes at him, had he done something wrong?
'Be nice Abs.'
'You better watch his back buster, or I will kill you and leave no evidence behind, understood?'
'Yes ma'am, I understand, and I will.'
She turned gave Gibbs a quick hug and went back to her work.
Tony and Gibbs left for autopsy, Tony still not to sure what to think about Abby.
'Don't let her scare you, she takes a while to warm up to people.'
'I noticed...'
They came in autopsy when Ducky was just weighting a liver.
'Ah Jethro! Did you come to introduce your new colleague to me?'
'Yeah Duck, Tony, meet doctor Mallard, Duck, this is Tony DiNozzo.'
'Nice to meet you doctor.'
'Yes, it is nice meeting you and please call me Ducky, all my friends do, I'd shake hands but...'
'That's okay doc...Ducky.'
They left autopsy and went back to the bullpen.
'Let's go to lunch before getting back to the case.'
