NCIS meets SHIELD c14
"What exactly did we stumble on?" Tim asked
"Weapons smuggling? Weapons deal? Whatever it is it is dodgy and most likely got Kelly Charles killed." Nick replied
"Alright document everything." Gibbs replied and they all got to work, ambulances and police turned up but they gave authority to Gibbs and did what he wanted. He and Jack had searched the perimeter trying to locate who could have saved them but there no sign of them. Vance turned up when Jimmy did and well he was not impressed with the mess. When the FBI turned up a power grab started it was finally turned into a joint investigation which Gibbs was not happy about. Especially when the order was given the lead agent practically told him to go catch his killed and leave this to them. Jack found it interesting to see the vein in Gibb's forehead seemed to pulse as he held his anger in. He ordered McGee and Torez to stay here while he took Ellie and Jack back to the Navy Yard. NCIS was given some leeway seeming that Palmer turned up first and started examining the dead bodies. Gibbs just knew his case got a whole lot bigger and they will be working until it got solved. Back at the Navy Yard Gibbs and Ellie worked on in silence and when Nick and Tim came back they felt the tension in the room, Jack was standing off to one side watching them so Nick and Tim made their way to her.
"How long has that been going on?"
"They went in the elevator, it stopped and when it started again they came out and have been like that since." Jack replied knowing of Gibb's impromptu meetings in the elevator but this is the first time she had witnessed it not to have worked and possibly made the matters worse.
"Have you tried talking to them?" Nick asked
"I did and got glared at by both of them…it gave me chills." Jack stated
"So you decided to hide over here and spy on them?" Tim asked this made Jack look at him.
"What I am not spying on them…"
"Are any of you going to get some work done or are you going to stand here talking?" Gibbs asked from behind them making them jump and turn to face him, Tim and Nick jumped to attention and headed to their desks while Jack only continued to stare at him. "What?" he asked but Jack only shook her head before walking off. Gibbs sighed before returning his attention to his two agents that had returned.
"Boss about before…"
"Drop it, what did you find?"
"Nothing…" McGee paused at the glare he was getting from his boss. "I mean we found their books but it is all in code so will take some time to decode it. The FBI took the fingerprints and the injured men." McGee informed him and when Gibbs shifted his weight to one leg McGee tried to come up with something that would please him.
"None of those men in the warehouse was Theodore Williams so we were going to head over to his last known address." Nick stated coming to McGee's defence.
"Go." Gibbs said deciding to head down to Jimmy to get an update. Ellie remained at her desk, knowing that Gibbs would be keeping her on desk duty for the remainder of the case, or that was what he told her in the elevator.
Gibbs entered the autopsy room to see Palmer looking over one of the dead guys from the warehouse the one McGee recognised.
"What have you got Palmer?"
"Gibbs your early, I just got him back from the warehouse other than COD, gunshot to the head, I haven't anything else on him."
"What about our Lieutenant?" Gibbs asked
"Oh right. Lieutenant Kelly Charles, she was stabbed to the abdomen and bled out, she was stabbed 5 times but the first one would have caused the most damage."
"Was it long?"
"No, it perforated an artery. She would have died in seconds, she wouldn't have felt it."
"Do we know what knife?"
"That is up to Abbey to decide, along with the strange substance I found around the wound." Jimmy stated. "An interesting fact…and your gone." Jimmy said looking up to see the doors closing so Jimmy returned his attention to Mike Gileon. Gibbs made his way to Abbey's lab who was waiting for him when she heard the elevator ding, she pulled him into her lab and started talking so fast he had to make her stop and repeat and less since words.
"Sweat."
"What about it?"
"That is what was around her wound, the substance that Jimmy set up. It was sweat, I have it running through codis now."
"Do you know what type of knife?" Gibbs asked
"From the impression you would think just your standard combat knife, but it is not. See here the groove from the hilt. It was an M-9 Bayonet and guess who has this style of knife registered as their combat knife?"
"Who?" Gibbs asked and Abbey pulled up a photo making Gibbs smile he kissed her on the check before leaving the lab grabbing Ellie and Jack on the way out and heading for Norfolk.
AN: who did it? I know this chapter was short, for dramatic effect what do you think? Until next time.
