NCIS meets SHIELD c3
AN: warning there is mention of violence in this chapter.
"I need to get after her, I think she is in trouble. Why wouldn't she talk to me…" Ellie started as they got into Jacks office.
"I need you to tell me everything about Sam."
"I need to get after her." Ellie began but Jack silenced her holding up her hand.
"You need to tell me everything about Sam." Jack repeated Ellie looked at her about to argue but Jack had a certain look in her eyes that had her halting her arguments. So she spent an hour in Jacks office.
Torez was tailing Sam Bishop and her lawyer they were in a black sedan driving for half an hour before pulling over at a diner entering the diner Torez pulled over and waited in the car. 10 minutes passed and he couldn't see them so following a hunch he entered the diner he didn't see them anywhere swearing silently he went to the back door entering the alleyway he looked around but didn't see them. He started down the alley shaking his head, he had no idea where they went to. Pulling out his phone he dialled the number dreading this phone call he called Gibbs.
Gibbs was at his desk waiting for Bishop to finish with Jack, he had just gotten the call from Torez stating he had lost her. He was not happy about that so he called him back here, McGee was working with Abbey in the lab so he decided to head down there to see if they had found anything. He was stumped by Ellie's sister, her reactions to what was happening had him suspicious of her especially with her reaction over the money what was she up to?
"What have you got?" Gibbs asked entering the lab to see McGee and Abbey working at the computer. Abbey looked up to him and smiled as he came in, it being clear that McGee had informed her of everything that has happened.
"You can't think Ellie's sister had anything to do with this? Do you?" Abbey asked
"She is hiding something, now what have you got?" he asked again
"Sorry right, well we have a partial running and maspec is running some substance that Jimmy had found on the body. Other than that we managed to get some of the data from his phone, it looks like someone tried to erase it before the smashed it."
"You found something?"
"Yep…" she said bringing up a picture on the screen this made Gibbs sigh as he leaned in trying to identify what was in the photo. "This is the first one and I have no idea what it is it could be a sculpture of some sort. I had more luck the second one it was badly damaged but I managed to piece it together it was a photo that was received before Jimmy's time of death. This was followed by a message. I couldn't put the message together all I got was this assorted group of numbers. But the photo was this." Abbey stated pulling up a photo, she didn't recognise the person in it but clearly Gibbs and McGee did.
"Don't show this to Ellie." Gibbs stated he kissed her on the check before he started walking off.
"Why? Wait I have more." Abbey said stopping him from exiting as the computer bleeped.
"What else?" Gibbs asked
"It was a video it took longer but it just finished now." She said as she pulled it up, there was footage of the same girl from the photo tapped to a chair the sound was muffled at first Abbey thought it was damage but it turned out the person that was recording it had their hand over the microphone.
'Tell us why you want it?' A man shouted at the girl in the chair but she didn't respond there was a thump as another man punched her across the face.
'Tell me what we want to know.' He said again
'Go to hell.' The girl replied another slap but the man stepped back on instruction and a new man stepped forward he was holding a cattle prod.
'Last chance.' The first man stated but she spat at him and was rewarded with the prod to the ribs her fists clenched and she screamed the scream was clear enough. 'Now answer us?' he said but the girl actually started laughing, she was rewarded with two more jolts and a three more punches.
'You weren't supposed to knock her out we need answers.' A voice to the side stated the punching man came back into view with a bucket, but before he chucked it on her he checked her pulse.
'Shit, you juiced her too much.' He said cutting one of her hands free that was when things got blurry as the cameraman moved. He then dropped the phone but it was still recording and a lot of crashing noise came next followed by shouts. Before the phone went dark.
"What was that?" Gibbs asked
"Was it sent to his phone or was it recorded on his phone?" McGee asked
"Recorded on his phone." Abbey replied she was still somewhat in shock at what she had seen.
"The footage was blurry can you get any identities?" Gibbs asked
"That is as best as I can clean it up, none of the men actually look at the camera, I could get an id on the girl."
"No need we know who it is. Again don't show this to Ellie, I need to talk with Jack McGee I want you and Torez to find her." Gibbs stated leaving the lab.
"Wait McGee who is that?"
"That is Ellie's sister, looks like she is now a person of interest." McGee stated heading up to the ballpein to Torez leaving Abbey in the lab.
Gibbs knocked on Jack's door she opened the door he was surprised Ellie wasn't there he looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"She said she was going to try to get in contact with Sam." Jack said inviting him in,
"Abbey has sent you something up." Gibbs stated looking at her expectantly.
"Everything Ellie told me doesn't add up to the person I saw in interrogation. There is something else too. She has a soul mark." Jack stated
"Sure that is rare but what is odd about that?" Gibbs asked
"It was female writing." Jack replied before shifting her gaze to her computer pulling up the file that Abbey had sent her she sat in silence as she watched the video and leaned back in her chair once it was finished thinking over everything she knows.
"I think we need to talk to her again."
"Do you think she killed him? It could have been self-defence." Gibbs stated
"I don't think she is a civilian." Jack stated but looking at Gibbs she could see he already figured that out.
"Torez and McGee are trying to locate her now." Gibbs stated
"Be careful Gibbs she was tortured we have no idea what happened, she didn't exactly look to be in good shape at the beginning of the video."
"You think she was tortured before the video?"
"Looks like it. But why? Why was she tortured? What was the 'it' they were talking about?" Jack replied
"We will just have to ask when we find her." Gibbs replied before heading up to brief the Director he looked as he saw Ellie at her desk on her phone he met Torez's gaze making it clear for him to keep an eye on her before continuing up the stairs. He was in with Vance for ten minutes talking when his phone went off it was from Torez, he was with McGee and they had followed Ellie who was now meeting up with Sam what did he want them to do. Gibbs then left Vance grabbing Jack as he left the Navy Yard heading to the place that Bishop was at. They were at a diner when Gibbs entered with Jack he had Torez and McGee out back in case she tried doing the disappearing act. Torez entered through the back door blocking that exit he moved up closer.
"Gibbs?" Ellie asked confused he didn't sit down he was looking at Sam she was looking up at him and held his gaze.
"You need to come with us." he stated he was a little surprised that she wasn't that surprised to see him there she tilted her head before nodding her head standing up Torez went to take her arm to escort her and she flinched away from his touch she brushed it off and Torez did step back to give her space Jack ended up walking beside her to the car. When they went back to the Navy yard they were back in the interrogation room with Jack and Gibbs.
AN: so what do you think? I like to hear your thoughts until next time.
