NCIS meets SHIELD c13
Everyone was back in the ballpein working away at their desks trying to find a link between Kelly and the list of names she was researching. McGee was down in Abbey's lab working away on the Lieutenant's laptop while Abbey worked on the evidence she was given from the crime scene. Nick was working on trying to locate Theodore now that Tim was working with Abbey leaving the other names on the list for Ellie and Gibbs with Jack's help she had offered to work this case.
"Found something." McGee came running into the ballpein grabbing his gear.
"McGee what did you find?"
"Not me Lieutenant Charles on her laptop she kept coming back to this address I figured we go and check it out."
"Right, grab your gear." Gibbs instructed making it clear they were all going. They took two cars to the address that Tim had forwarded them that led them to a warehouse.
"Do we need a warrant?" Nick asked
"No this is foreclosed, condemned to come down. I called the bank and they said we could enter." Tim replied. Ellie looked around the outside of the warehouse and it certainly gave off a bad vibe so she wasn't surprised that Gibbs made them suite up and enter the warehouse with weapons drawn.
"Abandoned warehouses give me the jeebees." Nick stated but he as the others were focused on what they were doing.
"Not abandoned." Gibbs replied as they then all heard it hushed voices whispering down in the office area the lights were on. So the NCIS agents moved in taking caution, it was a good thing they were as that was when the gunfire started. They all dropped for cover as bullets hit the area around them. Ellie was with Nick and Jack leaving McGee with Gibbs across from them, Ellie looked over and saw McGee calling it in as Gibbs was keeping him covered. Torez was firing back joining Gibbs so Ellie did likewise. She tapped him on the back forcing him to look at her.
"Cover me." She shouted
"What?" he asked but she didn't have time to repeat it as she started moving she heard Torez swear but nevertheless he covered her as she sprinted to the next pillar in time as she heard bullets make contact with the concrete. She turned back to them but they were also covering behind their own pillars. Right now Ellie was the one in the lead so she gave cover and waited trying to hit someone she jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder to see Jack standing behind her.
"That was crazy." Jack told her
"I know, no doubt I will get an earful later but look." Ellie pointed out that those firing on them were taking cover behind some large crates. "We couldn't see that before." Ellie stated
"Right what do you want to do?"
"Cover the others, let them move up."
"My ammo is sparse." Jack replied making Ellie think on hers, she too was getting low.
"Then we need to resolve this before we run out." Ellie replied about to start shooting again but an instinct told her to wait, it was a good thing she did as bullets ripped into the pillar they were behind forcing both of them to crouch down that was when the lights went out.
"That can't be good. New plan?"
"They seemed to be focused on us."
"I don't think that is a good thing." Jack replied as more bullets could be heard, that was when something caught in Ellie's peripheral vision forcing her to look up. A shadow? She looked up making sure no threat was coming from above. That was when it moved again but it wasn't going for them or anyone from her team. More gunfire was heard followed by thumping as bodies dropped. She was trying to see through the darkness but it wasn't really happening.
"Did you see that?" Ellie asked
"What?"
"I think someone is up running along the walkway up there." Ellie stated still looking up trying to decipher the shadows.
"I can't see anyone?" Jack stated as more gunfire was heard
"Is it just me or is there less guns firing?" Ellie asked
"You're right." Jack stated after thinking about it and concentrating on the gunshots. There was more yelling and someone screamed then the gunshots stopped. "Could be a trap?" Jack stated but Gibbs took this chance to move up with Tim and Nick.
"You're crazy." Nick told Ellie when he got next to her Gibbs made the signal for silence then the NCIS agents moved forward and were very surprised to see what was behind the crates. Tim lowered his gun looking over the dead bodies each one shot, a couple of them were still alive moaning away and their weapons were discarded.
"What just happened?" Nick asked
"That is Mike Gileon. One of the Marines Kelly was investigating. He was dishonourably discharged." McGee stated not answering Nick's question mainly because he didn't know.
"Looks like we had a guardian angel." Jack replied looking over the bodies and how some of them had fallen, "it did seem someone was on the walkway." Jack added looking to Ellie
"What?" Gibbs asked turning to Ellie
"I thought I saw a shadow up there, maybe I didn't. I don't know what I saw." Ellie replied checking her own weapon. "Good thing I was on my last mag." She added
"I only had three more bullets left." Nick stated the others weren't any better. That was when Gibbs realised how bad off they were if it wasn't for whomever saved them he didn't want to think about what would have happened. Speaking of he looked at Ellie and gave her a glare at her recklessness. As Jack secured those still alive and Tim and Torez went to clear the rest of the building.
"Gibbs I know that was reckless and I didn't think it through but I am fine. I was trying to protect you guys, I knew we had to move forward or who knows what would have happened I was the one to spot where the shooters were hiding." Ellie tried to explain but his glare remained and she actually shuffled on her feet looking down. "I would apologise but I know how you feel on that…"
"Gibbs you may want to see this." Torez called out saving Ellie from his glare, she did know that it was not over he will talk with her later about it. Gibbs went into the office area where there was another two bodies but what really grabbed his attention was the stockpile of weapons on the table and the bags of cash.
