NCIS meets SHIELD c2
"Why am I here?" she asked again, this time before she got to answer Gibbs was pulling her out of the room out into the hallway.
"Explain." He stated
"It's Sam my younger sister, Gibbs I had no idea she was in DC. This makes no sense." Ellie replied
"Why?" Gibbs asked noting that look in Ellie's eyes meaning she was thinking something over that usually leads to something important.
"Let me talk to her." Ellie asked and after a small hesitation he nodded and watched as she re-entered the room giving Nick a signal he left the room closing the door behind him. Sam was watching her and Ellie couldn't help looking over the bruising and cut lip but her sister's eyes were the same the unwavering blue as she looked at her. "You need to talk to me Sam, I can't help you if you don't talk to me." She stated but she saw the determination in her eyes and her closing up once again.
"Why am I here?" she asked again.
"What do you know about Clark Doyle?" she asked
"He's dead." Sam replied straight faced. "Why are you asking me about a dead man?"
"He was murdered." Ellie replied carefully. "How did you know him?"
"We went out."
"How long?" she asked
"A while." Sam shrugged
"Do you know where his computer is?"
"No."
"Did you stay at his place?"
"A few times."
"We know you have been dating at least three months, talk to me please?"
"Ask me what you really want to."
"Do you know who would have wanted him dead?" Ellie asked that was when she saw it, in her sister's eyes she was shutting her out. "Sam?"
"What do you want from me El? Clark is dead it doesn't matter now." She replied
"We can get him justice." She stated but Sam turned her back on her she placed her hand on her head as she brought her legs up to her chest before resting her forehead on her knees. The door opened and Ellie turned to see Jack enter the room she came and sat next to Ellie looking at Sam carefully.
"You know who killed him? Don't you?" Jack asked this time Sam did look up from her spot tilting her head so she was looking at them. There was something in her eyes that had Jack on edge, she saw it when it was just her and Gibbs but she saw a complete change in attitude when Ellie entered the room but now she was seeing that same spark from earlier return. Just then the door opened once again both Jack and Ellie were surprised to see an unfamiliar blonde enter the room holding a brief case.
"Natalie Jones, Miss Bishop's lawyer. You have no right to question my client without her council present. Now if you don't mind I would like to talk to my client in privacy. You can empty the observation room and turn off all the recordings." Natalie Jones stated Ellie was in shook, Gibbs was fuming Jack was surprised so was Sam but she recovered more quickly but Jack noticed it. When the room was clear Sam looked up at the blonde who was standing in front of her.
"I don't recall calling a lawyer." Sam stated
"Maria sent me."
"Of course she did."
"She thought you needed back up considering who is on this team."
"I was doing fine."
"We can pull you out."
"I need to know what they know. You may want to get yourself comfy you are committed now." Sam said indicating for her to sit down next to her. This time Ellie didn't re-enter the room it was Gibbs and Jack they sat across from them.
"Is my client being charged with something?"
"Not yet, it depends if she intends on obstructing a federal investigation." Gibbs replied
"Ask away." Sam stated as Gibbs then opened the file bringing out pictures of Clark's dead body, Sam looked down before looking up at Gibbs.
"Most people who have been in a relationship for three moths seem to get some form of reaction teary or disgust."
"I'm not most people. You want me to shed a tear for a dead man? What is the point?"
"Grief?" Jack stated as Gibbs started bringing out more pictures of Clark's apartment.
"You were going out for three months but there was nothing there to indicate you stepped foot in his apartment." Gibbs stated this got a reaction from Sam as she turned to her lawyer looking at her expectantly her response was the slightest shake of her head.
"There should have been…there is that barbeque sauce is mine." Seeing the photo of the fridge. "It is not like we spent a lot of time there from him being stationed we mainly spent our time in the bedroom."
"Sam." Natalie warned
"No, where is Ellie?" she asked looking at Gibbs
"She is busy. You have me!" Gibbs replied as Sam looked at the mirror behind Gibbs Ellie who was standing next to Nick and Vance watched as her sister was being interrogated by Gibbs.
"Freaky it's like she is starring right at you." Nick told her as he spoke Sam turned to look at him and he yelped. "She can't see me right." He stated seeing Sam's eyes and how they held an anger in them. Ellie sighed once again being the focus of her sister's attention through the glass.
"Just ask me what you want to ask me." Sam finally stated not looking at him.
"Did you have anything to do with Petty Officer Clark Doyle's death?"
"No." Sam stated finally looking at Gibbs and he had to swallow seeing the look in her eyes. Jack was watching this scenario closely she could see the anger building up in the younger Bishop's eyes.
"Do you know where this came from?" Gibbs asked showing a picture of the bag full of money, Jack noted how this seemed to get her attention.
"How much?" Sam asked surprising everyone as that was not the typical answer they were expecting.
"Half a million." Gibbs replied hardening his glare Sam held his gaze without falter she knocked the table as she moved in the chair that was when her lawyer intervened
"She has answered all your questions. Are you charging her?" she asked
"Not yet…" before he could continue both the lawyer and Sam were standing up.
"Then we are leaving. If you want to contact my client again." Natalie hand placed a piece of paper on the table before walking Sam out of the room. Gibbs turned to look at Jack but she was up following them out to the elevator. The two women didn't talk, they stood in silence as they waited for the elevator. Ellie came running out after them side stepping Tim and Nick and standing next to Jack.
"Sam where are you going?" she asked her sister turned to look at her Jack noticed the flash of pain across Sam's eyes but then they hardened.
"I don't know you, leave me alone." Sam stated before getting on the elevator with her lawyer and Ellie noted that look in her eyes before the door closed they were pleading with her but she didn't know why. Ellie moved to the door pressing the button wanting it to come back up.
"Ellie, we need to talk." Jack stated
"Not now."
"Yes now, come with me." Jack said taking Ellie up to her office much to Ellie's protests.
