Chapter Four: Russians
"Gibbs! I found the gun!" Abby said bouncing up and down in front of the screen. It had been three days and we hadn't had any word from Megan.
"What was it Abby?" Gibbs asked as we stood in the Ops center.
"It turns out I was right. The gun is from Russia. It's an ORSIS T-5000. The caliber is .338 Lapua Magnum and has a rotary bolt action. The magazine can hold from five to ten rounds. The factory is privately owned in Moscow and is run by renowned world-class long range shooters" she said looking at us while a picture came up on the screen.
"Thanks Abbs" Gibbs said.
"Why Gibbs, I'm hurt. That's not all I found out" she said. That caught our attention.
"I did some digging, it seems that Elizabeth Meadows was exceptionally handy with a sniper. G Callen, can you guess which sniper that was?" Abby asked looking at me.
"I'm guessing, Abby Schuito, that the sniper was an ORSIS T-5000" I said crossing my arms and leaning against the table in the middle of the Ops center.
"Correct you are. Elizabeth Meadows has killed at least twenty of the Russian Mafia's enemies using that type of gun" Abby said while twenty pictures of men popped up on our screen.
"These are all the men she killed?" Kensi asked.
"These are only a handful of men she killed, these just happened to be for the Russian Mafia. She's killed at least thirty more. At least that's what her track record says, but I'm pretty sure she's killed close to sixty others" Abby said before taking a sip from a large cup that was labeled Caf-Pow!
"Is there any way we can find out exactly how many people she killed Abby?" McGee asked.
"Nope. I'm telling you guys; Megan has used her skills as an NCIS agent to cover her tracks, and good. I can't find anything on her linked to all these murders" Abby said.
"Then how do you know she committed these murders for the Russians?" Ziva asked.
"She has it all on file for us" Abby said pulling up the files linked to each one.
. . .
She walked into the warehouse, her boots barely making any noise on the concrete. The man was standing in the middle of the warehouse waiting for her.
She loaded the gun and then said "Do you remember me Viktor?"
The man turned around and his mouth opened wide in shock. "Elizabeth…you're supposed to be dead" he whispered.
"Supposed to be, yes, but now I won't be the one dead" she said before aiming the gun and shooting him in the leg.
Viktor cried out in pain and fell to the ground. He held his leg, trying to stop the bleeding. "What do you want?" he asked.
"Where is he Viktor?" she said aiming the gun again.
"I don't know! I haven't seen him since you died! I swear!" he said. She pulled the trigger again and blood flowed from his arm.
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
. . .
The phone in the Ops center rang and Eric answered it. He quickly put it on speaker. There was screaming in the background.
"Callen, Gibbs, it's been a few days" said the voice and I recognized Megan's voice. I heard cursing in the background and recognized it to be Russian.
"If you keep moving Viktor, the pain will only become worse and so will the bleeding" Megan said calmly. The man cursed her in Russian and she laughed a bitter laugh.
"Eric, if I were you, I would try to find Viktor here, he's your only witness. If he dies, it's all on you" she said as Eric and Nell quickly began to type on the computers.
Gibbs, Kensi, Ziva, and I headed towards the cars.
"Guys, she's in a warehouse out near Venice Beach. It's the third warehouse on the left" Eric said. Gibbs hit the gas and I saw Kensi hold on, obviously she wasn't use to his driving like we were.
We got there and quickly went into the building, guns ready. There was a man lying in the center of the warehouse in a pool of blood. Ziva quickly went over to him while we cleared the area.
"We need an ambulance!" she called while Kensi pulled out her phone.
I went over to the man and then said in Russian "Where is she? Where is Elizabeth Meadows?"
"Gone, she left ten minutes before you got here" he said grasping my jacket.
"What did she want?" Gibbs asked.
"Mikhail" he whispered before closing his eyes. The paramedics rushed in and loaded him up onto a stretched.
"Kensi, get Deeks to meet you at the hospital. I want you two to keep an eye on him and make sure she doesn't come back to finish what she started. See if you can get any more information out of him about the man called Mikhail" I said.
Kensi nodded and rushed to ride in the ambulance, her cell phone out calling Deeks.
I pulled my phone out and said "Eric see what you can find out on this guy and the guy called Mikhail. Kensi should be sending you pictures to get facial recognition soon".
"Is he alive Callen?" Eric asked. I knew that what Megan had said about him being the only one who could save him had bothered him deeply. I knew that if Viktor had died, then Eric would blame himself.
"Yeah Eric, he's on his way to the hospital. He should make it" I said before hanging up.
"She could be anywhere by now Gibbs" Ziva said as she came up to us.
"She's around here, she'll want to watch" I said walking out of the warehouse and looking around at the many buildings that surrounded it.
"How do you know?" Ziva asked.
"She'll want to show us that she still can surprise us. I know her a lot better than most people" I said softly before walking towards the car. Gibbs followed saying "She'll show up sooner or later"
"Let's just hope its sooner. I don't want any more bloodshed" I said getting in the car and we all headed back to headquarters.
And that chapter is done! Hope you liked it. Let me know what you think.
