Chapter 15

Tim found himself alone in an interrgation room with Erin. Fornell had quickly explained that no one would be in the observation room. Tim looked at Erin who had been quietly fidgetting in her seat. "Is Jess okay?"

Erin nodded as she said "Yes. She and Russ found out that they are expecting a child. She needed to talk because her parents will kill her."

"Oh!" Tim replied as he replied at his own hands.

Erin's eyes narrowed as she tried to read Tim "What do you really want to know?"

"I--uh--why didn't you tell me that you and Agent Hopkins had dated?" Tim questioned as he saw her eyes quickly dart to her hands.

Erin shook her head as she tried to speak but finally replied "It was over a long time ago."

"Abby and I haven't dated in a few years but I told you about her." Tim stated matter-of-factly.

Erin argued back quickly "No, actually I figured that out then asked you about it."

Tim sighed as he look at Erin "I am sorry. They keep bringing things like that out in questioning. I trust you Er. It's just that they are really trying to bring you down on this murder."

"This is my fault Tim." Erin began as tears fell down her face "I wanted him to sober up but I-- I didn't thi--think he would leave."

Both agents jumped when the door opened up and Agent Carter, Gibbs, and Fornell stood in the doorway.

"Agent Morgan, you are free to go." Agent Carter grunted into the room.

Erin quickly jumped up in confusion as she asked "What? Why?"

"You forget when, where, or who?" Agent Fornell replied as he chuckled at his daugther.

Erin glared at her father as she felt Tim step behind her.

"Someone came forward that witness the murder." Carter answered as he quickly walked out of the room.

Erin smiled brightly as she leaned into Tim. She quickly turned toward him and was pulled into a hug. She pulled away and hugged her father. "Let's go home Erin."

Twenty minutes later, Erin was following Tim to the company car. The ride to Headquarters was quickly and Erin had agreed to meet at Tim's after a quick trip home. Erin parked her car in her parking spot and ran into her apartment. Once inside, she quickly jumped into the shower. Erin laid the clothes that she was planning to wear to Tim's on the bed but when she walked out of the bathroom she jumped because not only were the clothes on the bed but a familiar person as well.

"What are you doing here?" Erin stated harshly as she fastened her robe.

The man smirked and spoke with a British accent "Need a favor from you."

"Don't think that will happen Trent." Erin replied as she quickly grabbed her clothes and walked into her bathroom.

Trent smiled as he answered "You will or you will be the prime suspect in another boyfriend's death."

Erin quickly opened the bathroom door and walked out of the room with a glare toward the intruder. "What do you mean another boyfriend's death?"

"Oh, you know Agent Timothy McGee. He lives in Silver Springs. I know for a fact that you are meeting him tonight." Trent stated with a crooked smile.

Erin walked over to Trent and tried to grab a knife from the dresser, but Trent quickly grabbed it as he shook his head "Not nice."

Erin exhaled quickly as she said "You hurt Tim --- I will kill you."

Trent chuckled as he said "All you have to do is meet me at Langley at 0900 tomorrow morning. That will give you plenty of time to say goodbye."

Erin glared at him again as she walked close to Trent and quickly slapped him across the face. "You were the reason I was interrgated by the FBI. You killed Scott!"

"Sorry love but I didn't kill him. He was becoming too much of a risk." Trent explained as he stood up from her bed.

Erin ignored the statement as she walked to her closet and began to put her shoes on.

"We could have a heart to heart with your mother or step-father. We could meet your biological father or even your little sister. She is a beautiful girl." Trent warned as he watched Erin quit putting her shoes on and turn her attention to him.

"You bastard!" Erin began as she heard her cell phone begin to ring. She picked it up and looked at the caller ID. She sent a warning glare to Trent then answered her phone "Hey! Yea. I am about to leave. No..no its okay, just a little pest problem. No, just a sneaky weasel. I'll see you soon."

Trent smirked as he said "I am not keeping you am I?"

"Not anymore." Erin said as she finished putting on her shoes and grabbed her keys. She was about to open the door when she felt a gun to her back.

"We aren't finished here, love." Trent replied as he pushed the gun in her back.

Erin turned toward Trent as the gun was pointed at her chest "I'll think I will turn down the CIA's offer."

"That is the wrong answer." Trent replied as he quickly slammed Erin into the wall.

Erin tried to fight back but Trent had the upper hand.

"One more time. Meet me at Langley or everyone you care about will be dead tonight." Trent repeated as he shoved his arm in Erin's throat.

Erin quickly nodded as he lower his arm "Okay. I will. Leave my family alone. That includes Tim."

"Just meet me tomorrow and don't be late." Trent replied as he kissed Erin on the lips and left the apartment as he said " Au revoir!"

Erin took a deep breath as she slid down her door and began to cry.
