NCIS meets SHIELD c6
"Back to work we still have a killer to catch." He gruffed making McGee and Torez jump to action they headed to their desks but stopped as the elevator door opened and Sam came out with three other people two of them were in suits the one next to Sam was her soulmate Gibbs didn't catch a name except maybe a nickname Nat? He watched as they strolled through the ballpein as if they owned it none of them even looked at them as they walked past, he did note that the two suits were walking in the front as they walked up the stairs heading for the director's office. Gibbs looked at Jack before getting up and following after the strange agents. When he entered the room he saw Sam leaning against the wall with Nat the two suits were in front of Vance's desk talking with him when he entered they both turned to him and to any other agent he might have found it unnerving at their identical expressions. Jack moved away from him so she was standing next to the wall happy just to observe, she noted how Sam's partner was watching her with an unwavering expression.
"Gibbs we have been asked to assemble in one of our conference rooms. Get your team and meet us at conference room 3." Vance stated but Gibbs didn't move.
"Just who are you?" Gibbs asked
"I am Commander Hill, we will explain everything when you assemble your team. It is best to gather your people it will save us having to repeat ourselves." The female suit lady stated Gibbs glared at her but she held his glare. He begrudgingly complied getting his team all into conference room 3 where they all looked at the agents in the suits waiting for them to begin.
They were in the conference room for three hours listening, arguing and finally settling on an arrangement. Gibbs looked around his team when Commander Hill read them in on what it was the object they had recovered at Norfolk. Several shocked expressions followed by an awkward silence as they digested what it was and how dangerous it was. Ellie was looking at Sam throughout most of the briefing Jack noticed how when Sam did meet Ellie's gaze she would look away almost instantly. She also noticed that her soul mate was watching everyone in the room closely and those times Sam did look at Ellie she would lean in closer to Sam offering support. When the debriefing was finally over Gibbs brought up Clark's death once again.
"What about his death?" Maria asked looking at him.
"We still have our own jobs to do and that is to find his killer." Gibbs stated looking at Sam this time as he said it. He noticed that the woman standing next to Sam tensed she seemed like she was going to step forward but Sam put her hand on her arm stopping her.
"I already told you agent Gibbs I did not kill him."
"We have footage of you fighting men where his phone was."
"Let me remind you I was being tortured there so whatever happened in that room was self-defence and secondly Clark was not part of it."
"His phone says otherwise."
"Just because his phone was there does not mean he was there."
"So you saw everyone in that room?" Gibbs asked
"Yes."
"Where are they then? Who were they?"
"Not a problem anymore."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Most of them are detained."
"And the rest?"
"On the run."
"Why don't I believe you?"
"Believe what you want it's the truth."
"Why would you let them get away when they tortured you?" Gibbs asked he again saw the red haired agent tense at his questions but Sam remained completely calm.
"Because we needed them alive. They had something we needed so I didn't kill them."
"Did you get what you needed?" Jack asked she was interested in this conversation she could tell the other SHIELD agents were tense with Gibbs questions but Sam was completely relaxed she was holding Gibbs's gaze as they talked like the others weren't even there.
"That wasn't my job."
"Enough, I will have some agents bring over files on those we obtained. This line of questioning is over. You have all signed the nondisclosure agreements. We will be leaving." Maria stated grabbing everyone's attention Jack noticed that ever since stepping foot in the room Maria was the one in charge giving off a higher authority vibe and she was very good at it. Gibbs found himself losing in a glare off with the Commander he was the one to break away.
Maria now that the documents were in the hands of Agent Shaw she was one of SHIELD's best lawyers Maria led them out of the conference room she noted how Sam seemed to want to stay and talk with her sister but nevertheless she followed them out heading for the elevator. As they walked through the ballpein Sam looked over the row of empty desks her gaze landed on their M.E. and Scientist who watched them, they both seemed surprised but her gaze continued over them until she was looking at Maria once again. Her heart rate had picked up and anyone looking at her wouldn't see a change in attitude but Maria and Natasha both knew her very well and instantly could tell something was wrong. Director Vance had followed them out as did Gibbs and his team.
