NCIS meets SHIELD c12
As Nick and Tim entered the ballpein they found Ellie at her desk just looking at her computer screen unaware to their entrance, they both once again shared a concerned expression with each other before sitting at their own desks and not a minute later Gibbs came in and called them out they had a new case. Nick kept sending Ellie concerned looks and it was starting to get to her but before she could say anything about it they had arrived at the crime scene. So instead she got out of the car and headed over to Gibbs, he directed Nick on witnesses and coordinate with the local police that were there with McGee and Ellie was on documenting the evidence so she pulled out her camera and started taking photos. Jimmy pulled up and started his examination so Gibbs stood there waiting for him, Tim came over to run fingerprints to find that it did match the name on her uniform the victim was Lieutenant Kelly Charles. So he sent Nick and Tim to go to Norfolk where she was stationed now that the scene was documented and Jimmy was ready to move her back to the Navy Yard. Gibbs took Ellie back to do some research on her. As Ellie pulled up her record which to her seemed perfect, she had worked hard and rose through the ranks she had several recommendations, she had done two tours over in Afghanistan and was a recipient for a purple heart. She knew that Gibbs would want more so she dug deeper and into Kelly's life. When Tim and Nick returned she felt as though she knew Kelly Charles, Gibbs then sent Ellie and Nick to her apartment to search it. While Gibbs was taking Jack to go and talk with her family that lived just outside of the city. McGee would be running things from here by checking up with Jimmy and Abbey then he would help Abbey with her laptop, when Ellie and Nick brings it back from her place.
Ellie was once again driving to the apartment, this brought up the topic that Nick always brings up seeming that he never gets to drive. This made Ellie smile as the banter once again started and didn't finish until she had arrived at their destination. They searched her apartment taking her laptop and documenting it only to get interrupted by a roommate who returned as they were searching the place. Nick managed to calm her down and got her statement as Ellie continued to search the place but nothing really was out of the ordinary. As they were leaving her roommate made them pause as she asked if her death had anything to do with the Marine she was helping. They got the full report from her which wasn't much considering but it was enough.
"Apparently Kelly was helping out a fellow Marine named Teddy, that was all her roommate remembered. That Kelly was worried about Teddy and scared that he was going to do something reckless." Ellie stated over the phone back in the car.
"Right I will search the names of those in her unit to see if any of them are named Teddy." McGee stated
"I already did, there was one that used to be in her unit his name was Theodore something…"
"Theodore Williams." McGee replied looking over Ellie's research. "He was medically discharged."
"Yeah her last tour, she was made the recipient for the purple hear because she dragged her comrades away from the Humvee while under heavy fire, getting them to safety, it was the only reason as to why Theodore and another made it back alive." Ellie stated
"You remembered that from her file?" Nick asked
"You know I have a good memory. Plus it was inspirational." Ellie shrugged.
"Right you two should head back to Norfolk see what you can find out about Theodore while I try and find him." Tim replied
"We can do that." Ellie stated at the same time as Nick's
"Who put you in charge?"
"Gibbs." Both McGee and Bishop replied to Nick together. He didn't reply on ended up grumbling something under his breath that neither one heard. Ellie drove back to Norfolk where they talked to Kelly's CO he was surprised that they were back seeming that he had already answered Nick and Tim's questions earlier. He became even more surprised when they asked him about Theodore Williams.
"Evidently he was a good Marine, he lost one of his legs in Afghanistan and barely made it back alive. Kelly stayed with him even when he pushed everyone away, she stayed to make sure he was going to be ok. That was the kind of Marine Kelly was, always concerned about her fellow brothers and sisters in arms. She cared for him even after a trashed her car, he blamed her for bringing him back alive broken."
"Would he hurt her?" Nick asked
"No, not now at least last I heard he worked things out with her, this was 9 months ago."
"What about the other one? The 2nd Marine that came back injured was he discharged too?"
"No, he has returned to active duty. He passed his psych and physical…he was grateful for Kelly too, she helped him also by training with him."
"Sargent when was the last time you heard from Kelly?"
"Yesterday, she came in even though it was her day off, I already told you this." He said looking to Nick.
"What was she doing?"
"She came in and looked over some files."
"Do you know what files?" Ellie asked this grabbed Nick's attention he didn't say this before.
"You didn't say this before." Nick spoke up.
"When you left I thought over everything that happened yesterday…And it would be logged to see what files she brought up." He said answering Ellie's question he turned to his computer and brought up a list of reports that Kelly looked over. "This is strange, she has brought up personal files but none of these names are in her unit, two of them have been discharged.
"Can we have a list of those names?" Ellie asked he nodded then printed them off for the two NCIS agents. Nick and Ellie then returned to the Navy Yard to report back to Gibbs.
AN: Well back to business or is it? Until next time.
