CHAPTER 3
The next day, McGee smell a nice aroma of food and it was his favorite. Eggs and Bacon. He knows who was cooking it so he went to greet her "Good Morning Abs?"
"Good Morning Timmy, I'll prepare breakfast today because I want to say thank you for letting me sleep here"
"You don't have to Abs."
After that, Tim receives a phone call from an unknown number. He said
"Special Agent McGee, who is this?"
"Good Morning Probie, where are you? Gibbs needs us at the Washington Dock. There is a dead body there. Come quick.
Before he could answer Tony, he heard Abby shouting and asking him
"Timmy, do you want espresso or just plain old coffee?"
Tony heard a female voice and asked Tim
"Who is that Probie?"
"You don't wanna know."
He signaled Abby to be quiet because he doesn't want Tony to know that she was sleeping at his house.
"I'll be there in 15 minutes"
"Wait Probie, you still haven't told me about that girl voice that I just…" Before he could finish his sentence, Tim turned off his phone and said to Abby
"Next time, can you speak in a low voice when I am on the phone? Quick, let's eat our breakfast because Gibbs needs me at the Washington Dock."
10 minutes after that, Tim sent Abby to the NCIS HQ and continued his way to the dock. 5 minutes after that, he finally reached the dock.
"Sorry boss, I am late. I had to do something just now?"
Tony made fun of him "Does it has something to do with a girl, Probie?"
"No, Tony. It's something else?"
Gibbs quickly asked Tim "Don't care what did you do, you need to take pictures of the crime scene"
Tim nodded and proceeds to the crime scene and he saw something familiar about the dead body
"Boss… Isn't this Samantha Steward, the Lady that met us yesterday?"
"Yes, that was her."
Tim snapped some pictures and notices something strange about her.
"All her fingers at her feet are gone. Who would do such a thing?"
About 10 feet from the body, Tony found some bullets and shouted "I found some bullets here."
"So pack it and bag it, Dinozzo"
Without hesitation, he packed the bullets and get back to the crime scene
In the NCIS Squad room, Tim was still trying to figure out why the fingers at Mrs Samantha are cut off. A piece of paper caught his eye and it was the letter that the victim gave. He completely forgot about it because he had so much to do. He quickly decrypts it using his computer and it was really shocking. The letter goes like this
If you are able to decrypt this letter, this means that you have someone that is really good. Don't bother looking for prints in this letter because it doesn't have anything. I would just like to say, I will be making the greatest performance of your life and the ending will be epic where millions will die with the nuclear weapons in my hands. If you are smart, stay out of this.
Tim quickly gave the letter to Gibbs and he handed over the letter to the Director. The Director read the letter and asks Gibbs
"Gibbs, I think we're dealing with a killer here who's trying to get the nuclear weapons. We must find Lt Casey Dixon and Admiral John McGee.
"We'll do what we can Leon"
Gibbs went into Abby's Lab to find out the ballistics report
"Did you find anything about the slugs that we got Abbs?
"Yeah, I found something that might interest you. The slug that we found is from a 9mm Handgun and it was used in 2 unsolved murders."
"That's good work Abbs."
Gibbs was about to leave when Abby stopped him
"Wait Gibbs, may I have the permission to talk freely."
"You always talk freely Abbs, what is it that you want to talk about?"
"It's about McGee; did the director ask you to find Lt Casey Dixon and Admiral John McGee?"
"Yes, he did. Why do you want to ask?"
"Last night, I went to McGee's place because I heard he got a fight with Tony yesterday."
At that moment, Tony was on his way in to Abby's Lab when he heard her talk. He hid behind the door quietly and listens to Abby
"What did you mean, Abbs? They fought about what?"
"It's about McGee's dad. Tony angered Tim by saying that having an Admiral as your father is a good thing but it's a bad thing for McGee"
"Why do you say that, Abbs?
"When McGee was a little kid, he always wanted to spend time with his father but you know the Admiral has many things to do. So he barely had any memories with his father growing up. And the worst thing is his father didn't come to his Graduation day in MIT, he felt devastated and he never talks to his father again."
Tony felt that he pushed his younger agent to the edge and slowly left the Lab
"So you are saying that it's better not to bring the admiral because of McGee?"
"No, I am just worried on how Tim will react when he sees his father again."
"Don't you worry Abbs, I'm sure that he will handle it or I will remove him from this case"
After that Gibbs left the Lab and Abby said
"I'm sure hope so."
After that, he went to the Autopsy Room to meet Ducky
"Anything interesting Ducky?"
"Aah... Jethro you are always coming at the right time. I just finish operating the body and I found something rather interesting.
"What is it Duck?"
"I can say that the Gunshot wounds are the part that kills her but her feet that attracts my attention.
"Why do you say that, Duck?"
"As you can see, her fingers at his feet are cut off for some reason. The thing that shocks me the most is the time the feet is cut is much longer than her gunshot wounds."
"What do you mean, Duck. Are you saying…?"
"I believe so Jethro, she was tortured while she was alive. The rope marks at her hands confirms my theory. Why would someone to that to her?"
"Maybe it has got to do with something like information on the route of nuclear weapons?"
"Does anyone else know this besides you?"
"Yes, the whole team, Lt Casey Dixon and Admiral John McGee."
Ducky looks confused and asked Gibbs.
"That Admiral is he related to Timothy?"
"Yes, he is his father."
"That is surprising, well you got to find the other two. Bye Jethro
After that, Gibbs went back to the Squad room feeling stunned and determined to find this lunatic.
