Chapter Three: Her Team:
"Morgan Bradford Andrews was a thirty-two year old NCIS agent who transferred from the New York office to the one in Russia. He was also a former Marine, who was given a honorable discharge after receiving shrapnel from an IED explosion in Iraq. He has a mother living in Arkansas and a brother living in Atlanta, Georgia. He wasn't married, and he had no kids" Eric said pulling up a picture of the man who had once been on Megan's team.
He had black hair that was kept buzzed short, him being a Marine was evident. A picture of him and another man came up. They were flanking a woman with dark brown hair that curled at the ends. They were neutral expressions while the woman had a cold look in her eyes. She had on a long coat and I saw her hand was reaching into it. She was most likely reaching for a gun.
"This is a picture of Agent Andrews, Agent Briars, and Megan, back when they were working undercover in Russia. They were Elizabeth Meadows bodyguards, even though it was clear from her rap sheet that she didn't need them. The Mafia thought she was undependable, so they had two of their best protect her" Nell said jumping in.
"She left three clues. The gun of Agent Briars, the brass from a sniper, and the dog tags of Agent Andrews. Eric, get Abby up on screen" I said. He nodded and a few minutes later loud music came towards us.
"Abby" Gibbs said.
A few minutes later a black haired Goth woman's head popped up on the screen. In her hand was a sniper.
"Gibbs! G Callen!" she said.
"Is it safe for Abby to be holding a sniper?" Kensi whispered to Tony. He nodded.
"Abby Schutio, have you talked to Megan?" I asked.
The cheerful woman's face fell. "She isn't talking to anyone. Vance has been screening my calls, so I haven't been able to try much. I did try before, but, she didn't answer" she said.
"What did you find on the brass Abbs?" Gibbs asked quickly changing the topic.
"The only prints I was able to find on it were Megan's, which isn't very surprising" she said.
"Anything else Abby?" I asked.
She shook her head. "I'm still trying to find out what I can, but Megan was discreet. Whatever kind of model it was, it's not something we use. My guess is it came from Russia and was one she used as Elizabeth Meadows. Until I find which one, there's nothing else I can give you. Sorry guys" she said.
"Thanks Abbs" Gibbs said.
"Gibbs, is it true?" Abby asked.
"Is what true Abbs?" he asked.
"That Megan is hunting down the guys who killed Agent Briars and Agent Andrews?" she asked.
"It seems like it Abby" said Gibbs. She nodded and then walked away, we cut the feed.
"She's covering her tracks well if it's hard for Abby" McGee commented.
"She's one of us McGee, she knows what she's doing and she knows what we look for. She was part of the OSP, her being found will be tricky" Tony said. We all nodded our agreement.
"I think we should try the people who know her best" Hetty said coming in. After the visit from Megan she refused to stay home saying she could be of some need here. Nell wasn't straying far from OSP either, even though she seemed totally calm, she was still shaken.
"Who?" Ziva asked.
"Besides from Mr. Callen and Mr. Gibbs, there is one other person who knows her. He knows her better than anyone" Hetty said looking at me.
"Matthew Thomas" Gibbs and I said together.
"Who's Matthew Thomas?" Sam asked.
"Her brother" Kensi said quietly.
. . .
Gibbs and I knocked on the door that belonged to Matthew Thomas. A man answered and we immediately recognized the emerald green eyes. A toddler was in his arms, and he clearly didn't look happy to see us.
"Callen, Gibbs, what are you doing here?" he asked. He looked just the opposite of his sister. While Megan's hair was a sandy blonde and fell straight to her shoulders, her twin had dark curly hair that he kept shaved short.
"Can we come in Matt?" Gibbs asked.
The man sighed and stepped out the way. "With you two I know I don't have much of a choice" he said.
A redhead, Matthew's wife Amanda, came in as we walked into the living room. "I thought I heard familiar voices. Callen, Gibbs, it's been a while since we've seen you around here. Here, honey, I'll take Claire and go put her to bed" she said taking the toddler in her arms and heading up the stairs.
"Megan's not here" Matthew said sitting down in an armchair and crossing his arms.
"You know she's back in town?" I asked.
Shock went through his eyes. Clearly his twin sister didn't tell him she was in Los Angeles.
"No, I didn't. I thought you finally came here wondering where she was, after four years" he said.
"I'm afraid not Matthew. We thought you're sister would be here. We thought she would come see you and your family first thing when she got back in town since it's been over four years since you last saw her" Gibbs said. Matthew shook his head.
"I haven't seen Megan since she came by and said a hurried goodbye four years ago. I thought maybe Callen and Meg had gotten into it and she was leaving. When you didn't come around looking for her I thought you had gotten the message. You're telling me Meg didn't leave because of you two?" he asked turning to me. I shook my head.
"Megan left on assignment in Russia four years ago. We've just received news that she's back in Los Angeles and we want to talk to her. We thought maybe you could help us with that" Gibbs said.
"You flew all the way across the country just to talk to her? I know you don't like phones Gibbs, but that seems a little extreme for even you. Why don't you tell me what's really going on?" he said.
I looked at Gibbs and he sighed nodding.
"We believe your sister has been involved in the deaths of two men from the Navy and an NCIS agent" I said gently. Matthew's eyes flashed in anger and they reminded me of Megan.
"You're saying my sister is a murderer? That's impossible. Megs loves NCIS and being an NCIS agent more than anything. She wouldn't go and murder three people if there wasn't a cause. There has to be an explanation" Matthew said.
"We believe something that happened while she was undercover in Russia has made her act like this. That and technically, she isn't herself" Gibbs said slowly.
"What do you mean 'isn't herself'?" Amanda asked coming to sit on the arm of the armchair, putting a comforting hand over her husband's.
"Megan was given a personality while undercover, under extreme stress, it seems, and both personalities have collided and formed an extreme ultimate personality. That personality is what she is now. She's technically not herself or the person she was while undercover, she's a mixture of both" I said trying to make it simple for them to understand.
"What personality was she supposed to have while undercover?" Amanda asked. She was a doctor, so she would understand this much more than her husband would.
"A coldhearted assassin" Gibbs said as shock spread across their faces.
"We aren't in danger are we?" Amanda asked.
"Don't be ridiculous Amanda, Megan wouldn't hurt us" Matthew snapped.
"You just heard Gibbs and Callen, she isn't herself, there's no telling what she can do. She's already killed three people Matthew" Amanda argued.
"Our operational psychologist thinks that it's highly unlikely for Megan to come here. While she does remember you, you won't wish to harm you, so she'll stay far away, probably won't have any contact with you, but if she does, it won't be face to face" I said.
Amanda looked relieved. She brought us coffee and then after finishing it we left, Matthew walking us to the door.
As we reached the door and we walked out Matthew grabbed my arm. I turned back to him and he said "Bring my sister home Callen. She still loves you, and I know you still love her. The way the two of you acted when you were together doesn't go away, even after four years. If anyone can bring her home, alive, then it's you, Gibbs, and your teams. I've lost all my other family besides my sister Callen, I can't lose her either. Please, bring her home".
I looked at the man and saw the truth in his eyes that reminded me so much of his sisters.
"I'll bring her home Matthew, I promise" I said before walking out into the Los Angeles night.
Gasps, Megan has a family. I hope Callen can keep his promise and bring her home alive. What did you think of this chapter? Hit the little review button and let me know. Thanks to all the readers and reviewers!
