"So what have her got" asked Gibbs.
"Well Greg's body was found at The Gap, now this is a place where suicide jumpers go. We did find some blood and footprints. But Agent Cartwright did say a lot of people head up there" McGee told him.
"Of all the people I spoke to they all said the same thing that he was well liked, enjoyed sports, mates with everyone and could have a beer with them" Tony explained.
"Not liked by everyone" Gibbs put in. "This feels like a cover up. Duck what have you got" he asked spying Ducky walking towards them.
"Fit as a fiddle. Though the bullet didn't kill him. I did find traces of drugs"
"What kind" asked an interested Gibbs.
"I won't know until Abby does a tox screen" replied Ducky.
"That can be done tomorrow. It's time we headed back to Tilda's"
When they arrived back at Matilda's place they found her on the front verandah arguing with someone. Abby was at the front door looking very worried.
"Leave me alone Rover" they heard Matilda say.
"Problem here Tilda" asked Gibbs eyeing off Rover.
"He's been here for 20mins Gibbs, going crazy" explained Abby.
"Crazy! I'm not going crazy I'm here to talk to my girlfriend" replied Rover.
"I'm not your girlfriend Rover" Matilda told him.
"I heard about your dad, I thought I'd come round..."
"Rover. I don't know what kind of a name that is" said Ziva shaking her head.
"It's a nickname that Matilda gave me"
"yeah coz you're like a dog; yapping at me, growling at me"
"Perhaps if I throw a stick" suggested Ziva. This caused Rover to glare at her. "Or I could..." as she whispered something into his ear.
"Fine. I'm going"
"Thanks Ziva" a relieved Matilda said.
"How do you know him" asked Tony, following Matilda inside.
"We dated for about six months. I dumped him, can't accept that it's over"
"Yeah" responded Tony. "I know what you mean. I've had a few women like that"
3AM:
Gibbs stirred in his sleep. He had heard a noise. Opening his eyes he reached under his pillow to find his gun. Moving quietly and slowly so not to disturb Ducky, he moved to where the noise was heard. He found Matilda sitting in an old tree house. "Permission to come up" asked Gibbs.
"Permission granted" responded Matilda. "Dad built this when I was a kid, used to play in it all the time. As I got older, it was a place to come when I got angry with dad; he always knew where I was though. I miss him Gibbs, so much. It hurts. Why would anyone kill him? He was a good bloke"
"I can sit here and tell you that it will get easier Matilda, but it won't. The little things hurt the most. You just have to remember the good time...that's what your dad would have wanted. I don't know who killed him, not yet anyway. But I'll get him. I promise" Gibbs told her as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.
"Thanks Uncle Jethro"
They moved back toward the house. When they were inside they heard a scream and a thud. Gibbs ran up the stairs with gun drawn towards the noise, Matilda was close behind. Gibbs entered Matilda's bedroom to find his team; all with guns drawn at a man doubled over in pain.
"Kurt?" Matilda questioned. "What are you doing here?"
"You know him?" asked McGee.
"Yeah, my boyfriend"
"I heard about your dad, so I came home" explained Kurt who was picking himself up off the ground. "If I knew about the welcoming party"
"Sorry, I didn't know who you were" offered Ziva quietly.
"Kurt. This is Jethro Gibbs, Tony DiNozzo, Tim McGee, Ziva David and Abby from NCIS in the US." Matilda introduced him.
"Jethro Gibbs" he said looking at the silver haired man. "Good to finally put a face to the name. Greg told many stories about you"
"How'd you get in" asked Tony.
"How I always got in late at night. Through the window"
"Where have you been?"
"Up the coast. Camping with mates" came the simple reply.
7AM:
All were up in the Potts household showering, dressing and getting breakfast.
"I'm so sorry about last night Abby. I would have warned you if I knew he was coming"
"Don't worry about it Tilda. I was shocked at first but after I got over it, he was hot!"
"I don't think he's your type Abs" Tony told her.
"You don't know my type Tony"
"True. After all there was Probie" Tony said with a smirk.
"HEY!" McGee responded as he Gibbs slapped Tony, as tony almost choked on his juice.
"Where's Kurt" asked Gibbs entering the kitchen.
"Probably gone for surf" Matilda answered with a shrug.
"Surf? He surf's" asked Tony.
Matilda looked at him.
"Can he teach me?"
"I guess...ouch!"
"He is not leaning how to surf" replied Gibbs pointing at Tony, after he had Gibbs slapped Matilda. "He wants to be Cop Point"
"Pointbreak boss" responded Tony with a roll of his eyes.
