Chapter 2
Tim hadn't spoken in the car although on the ride back to NCIS he had made about thirty calls all to the same number with no answer.
They entered the bullpen to see Vance and the two suits from earlier waiting for them.
Tim launched himself at the two men, "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP HER SAFE!" He yelled backing them both into a corner.
"Agent McGee?" Vance said.
"Sorry, Sir." The younger of the two agents said. "Her file was hacked into and her identity compromised yesterday, by the time we were given clearance she had already been taken, your identity was compromised too, but obviously they haven't found you yet."
"McGee?" Gibbs said waiting for an explanation.
"These Agents are from the CIA Gibbs," Vance told him, "and Agent McGee is to be put into protective custody as of now."
"NO!" Tim said. They all looked at him, "Not until I find Sarah."
Tim walked off and the others followed as he headed to MTAC. Even Vance was surprised as Tim's eye unlocked the door, "You have clearance for MTAC?" Vance said surprised.
"Nope. I wrote the programme for the Iris Code lock." Tim said and walked into the room, "Out!" He said to the two agents sitting at the computer terminals there, they looked at Vance and he nodded and they left.
They all sat at the chairs realizing that at that point all they could do was wait and watch Tim.
Gibbs had never seen his junior agent so angry and it scared him, it was a quiet controlled anger that radiated from every pore and he knew that if he wanted answers from Tim the best thing to do was wait him out.
Tim typed an IP address into the computer and the screen was filled with the image of the head of the CIA's office.
The African American man looked up sensing something was off and jumped at the sight of McGee with a headset looking back at him from a computer screen,
"Agent McGee, what can the CIA do for NCIS?" The man asked.
"Marvel Denali enacting protocol Blackbird." Tim said and the man blanched,
"God, Tim!" The head of the CIA said, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah Dave, we had our files hacked, and Sarah's missing."
"Is she ok?" Dave asked.
"She's scared but unharmed and I can't tell where she is." Tim said, "I got two of your men here trying to put me in protective custody, as well."
"Are they stupid, where are they?" He asked. The two CIA agents stood up.
"Here Sir." They said, Dave looked at them, "You are to follow Agent McGee's instructions to the letter, he saw Director Vance in the background, "Director Vance That goes for you too, on orders from POTUS."
"I need to read my Director and Boss in Dave," Tim said and Dave nodded.
"Ok, but just the basics Tim, unless we get to a point where they need to know more." Dave said calmly.
Tim felt his hackles raise a bit, "But….D…"
"That's my order Tim!" Dave said sharply and Tim nodded.
Tim turned to them and typed in the computer all at once files shot up onto the screen.
"Ok where do I begin?" He said.
"Operation Hydra started in the late '70's the CIA were testing kids at school to find the best and brightest as a heads up for recruiting; it was a background operation, run on a shoestring, until the '80's." He pulled up a file with his name on it.
"I was tested as I had skipped a few grades and started MIT when I was 12," He waited and watched as his bosses eyes widened and took in the information.
"My IQ was tested and it was off the charts, we had to amend the scale and I topped 250. Sarah as my sister was tested too, hers is 220."
He realized he needed to explain.
"Boss, Sarah and I are the smartest people on the planet. I started working for the CIA on my 15th Birthday, Sarah was 13 when she started, since we were kids we have been organizing Black Ops, and troubleshooting America's problems. The deal was we do this covertly so another country or group couldn't find us or kidnap us to work for them," He paused as he saw the irony in what he was saying,
"So you are working for the CIA and us?" Gibbs asked,
"No Boss, I work for the President and NCIS, Sarah and I are classed as National assets, I work for the President when they need me, NCIS, I do because it's who I always wanted to work for," Tim admitted.
"So why wasn't I read in on this?" Vance demanded an answer, he was mad that SECNAV hadn't said anything; although he himself was secretly pleased he had spotted Tim's potential years ago.
"Need to know and you didn't. SECNAV isn't on that list." Tim said simply.
"But the head of the CIA is?" Vance said angrily,
"Dave is part of the project, and he raised Sarah and me," Tim explained.
"Our parents signed us over to the government, me as soon as they found out my IQ, Sarah when she was 3 and started showing signs of how smart she was. We haven't seen them since, they were given a decent pay off though." He added as an afterthought with a hint of hurt in his voice which he quickly buried.
"And Penny Langston?" Gibbs asked
"Dave's mum," Tim clarified, Gibbs nodded, and this ticked a box he had, had concerning why Tim had called her Penny and not Grandma when they had first met her.
"So how is our dead marine tied into this?" Gibbs asked,
"His name was Cam Fordham, he was Sarah's bodyguard he posed as her boyfriend on campus," Tim explained, "He's been with her for a year."
"Are you two working on a project currently that might be a reason for her being taken?" Vance asked, relieved to see his Agent starting to calm down.
"Yes, A month ago we had Intel that a terrorist group had smuggled a nuclear warhead into the US and Sarah and I basically had to find it as the CIA had come up with nothing."
Vance paled thinking that right now terrorists had a bomb on US soil.
"We've been tracking various components and last night Sarah oversaw a raid on a power plant that had been converting uranium, it seemed ok the raid was a success and we finished up at 0300 this morning,"
"So that's why you've been up all night," Gibbs said.
Tim nodded. "We need to investigate the murder of this marine hopefully it'll lead us to Sarah,"
"Ok," Vance said, "Keep me apprised" he left the room and Gibbs turned to McGee.
"Right it's time, lets brief the others, where you can and get this sorted and find your sister."
"You two, keep out of my way." McGee said to the two CIA Agents, "Boss how do I explain them to the others?"
"I'll think of something," Gibbs said wondering if McGee really didn't know what to say or if he was just giving him something to do.
"About the Super smart thing boss," McGee said stopping him before they left the room, "I don't want the others to know. Here is the only place I feel normal I don't want to ruin that if I don't have to and besides Tony'd never let me live it down." He gave a pained grin.
"Don't worry Tim; your secret is safe with me although you'd better let me open the door to MTAC next time."
"Yes Boss," Tim smiled and they left for the bullpen.
