CHAPTER 18
The team were now wide awake and looking to Gibbs for direction.
He wasted no time "Find her"
McGee immediately went to a computer and started typing furiously, Ziva and Tony not far behind him.
After little more than an hour McGee called out "Think I've got something here boss"
Gibbs moved to look over McGee's shoulder.
"She has 7 cell phones registered, at 3 different addresses. 2 are currently switched on, both showing at this address"
"You three" Gibbs said indicating his three agents "Go pick her and be careful!"
The three agents moved towards the house cautiously, they circled the property checking windows and doors carefully.
Reluctantly they split up, Tony and McGee going in the front, Ziva, alone, taking the back door.
Co-ordinating their movements, prepared for a fight, Tony knocked.
When there was no response and no word form Ziva to indicate anyone had tried to leave through the back, Tony knocked again, louder, yelling out "NCIS, open up!" at the same time.
This time the boys heard movement and tensed; their weapons ready.
The door was opened by a petite brunette.
"Anne Brooks?" Tony asked
The woman nodded.
"You are under arrest for the murder of Lieutenant Terrance Williams" Turning the woman round and cuffing her, Tony finished reading her, her rights while McGee gave Ziva the all clear to come in. Together they cleared the building, verifying that the woman was alone.
Calling the local LEO's to secure the scene, they took Ms Brooks to the Navy Yard.
Back at the Navy Yard, Gibbs marched in, glaring at Vance as if daring him to challenge his right to be there.
All Vance did was nod and step aside.
Gibbs marched into the interrogation room and started without sitting down.
"Who is your partner?"
"Which one?" was the flippant reply.
"Let's start with the one doing the killings, then we'll move onto Gow"
At the mention of Gow's name Brooks looked up sharply.
Gibbs smirked at her until she dropped her gaze and told him what he wanted to hear.
"His name is Danny Bridges, his address is down Southeast DC way, you'll probably find him there"
Gibbs threw her a notepad and pen, she quickly scribbled the address.
"Gow?"
"He'll be at work, he's always in the office, says it gives him the perfect alibi"
Gibbs stood up and left the room.
Walking into the observation room, he barked orders at his team. "McGee, find out everything about Bridges. DiNozzo, David, bring in Gow"
When they had left, Gibbs turned to Vance "She spilled too easy"
