Chapter 6

"Lift your hair up," Gibbs demanded as soon as he walked through the door of the interrogation room where Genvieve Staton has been confined into for almost a whole 24 hours.

"Excuse me?"

"Lift. Your. Hair. Up."

"Why?" she asked him confused. It was such an odd request. Ducky stepped into the room looking at Jenny intently.

"We found a baseball bat, there's two different types of blood there, one matches you," Gibbs said showing her the files. "I just wanted to be sure. This is Doctor Mallard, he's the ME here, he's going to check if it was you, or maybe your twin Jennifer Shepard."

"I don't know a Jennifer Shepard, and I'm the only child!"

"Funnily enough, she was too!"

"Urgh!" Genvieve said frustrated lifting her blonde hair up showing the back of her head where she knew there was a small scar. She didn't know where the scar came from but it was there nonetheless. Ducky walked over to her examining her scar touching it and trying to date it from the way that it looked.

"My dear, we ran some tests, your fingerprints, your DNA, it all matched Jennifer Shepard," Ducky said gently watching Gibbs' reaction more than Genvieve. "Jennifer, my dear, it would be easier if you just come clean now."

"I'M NOT JENNIFER!" Genvieve shouted at them outraged. She pushed Ducky away and stood up fast, only to be hit by a dizzy spell and collapse. Jethro was there by her side catching her, not letting hit the floor. He looked over at Ducky who looked worried as he called for help.

"What's wrong with her, Ducky?"

"She may have suffered a mild or maybe severe head trauma and that's what caused her amnesia. I wouldn't know; I'm going to order an MRI and a CAT scan just to be sure as soon as she gets to Bethesda."

"I want you to keep this low profile Duck, the hair particle that we found was connected to Leon. I don't want him finding out that she's here, or that we're onto her," Gibbs whispered right by his old friend who nodded his head.

"I shall try," Ducky said watching the paramedics come through the door and take Genvieve onto the stretcher. It was a good thing that Vance was out on vacation ... or so he says. Since Abby had called telling them a match of Leon Vance's hair with the hair that McGee had found near the gloves on the garbage can. As far as Gibbs knew, Leon Vance didn't go out into the field, nor did he move the field into his office like Jenny did. He was in all sense of the word, a Director and nothing more.

"Call me if there's any progress," Gibbs said walking away knowing that Ducky was going to follow Genvieve to the hospital. He didn't need to worry about her. He called his team telling them to meet him at his home knowing that everything now had to be hush-hush because of Vance's sudden involvement in the case.

He got to his house with his team already there with his boat waiting for him. Gibbs knew that his team was determined to find out who was the killer and why it was linked to Genvieve or Jenny. Whichever one she preferred to be called as. Gibbs already knew that Ducky would find out the scientific reasons – if there were any – for her forgetting who she was. Hopefully, Ducky could also find a way to reverse it.

"Boss, we got motive," DiNozzo said as soon as Gibbs stepped into the basement. McGee had his laptop there and so did Ziva. They knew that Gibbs had no other technology but a tape player and a small TV set.

"You waiting for me to ask, DiNozzo?" Gibbs said looking at his team for answers. They all spoke at once telling what they all had found not knowing which he would listen to, he put his hand in his mouth and whistled to shut them up and get their attention.

"McGee, what did you find?"

"Leon Vance is a great cyber-geek, but he's not such a great field agent. He leaves the little things that he doesn't think we look for because it's so simple and with our technology now we'd just leave it off."

"To the point, McGee."

"Point is that, Vance left out that we can look at the doorknob for fingerprints, and because there are security cameras and he was able to hide in the shadows so that he wasn't seen, his hand print was very prominent on the doorknob. He probably put the gloves on as soon as he got through that door as to not look suspicious."

"Ziva? What did you get?"

"It's too dark to see, but according to the street cameras around, there has been a car that circles around like surveillance in the street. Checked the car, it's a stolen one, probably bought for cash underground without changing the owner name so it's hush-hush. I can't make out the face of the driver but there should be someone in the neighborhood that could ID the driver."

"That's good Ziva, why don't you go with McGee to interview the neighbors again but this time ask about that yellow car. The fact that it's yellow – an uncommon color should help you two."

"On it Boss," Ziva and McGee, said walking up the stairs.

"What about you, DiNozzo?"

"I was just thinking, Boss. Why kill the man, what did Petty Officer Andrews ever do to Vance to get Vance to risk his job and reputation to kill him, so I snooped around," Tony started. He took the papers that he was looking over and presented it to Gibbs. On the front was a picture. "This lady told me that she overheard Vance and Andrews talking, that Andrews pieced it together how Genvieve Staton was Jennifer Shepard. He was here one day to talk to Vance and revealed that he knew the whereabouts of Jenny Shepard."

"That's when Vance didn't want him to come out with it to the people and killed him. That right, DiNozzo?"

"That's what I'm getting at. It's enough motive, I mean, if Vance had anything to do with why Jenny was killed and how she disappeared from the face of the Earth, then he probably has something to loose if anyone found out that she was still alive."

"Yeah, like his job," Gibbs said sarcastically. Now that they had motive, all they had to find was sufficient evidence to nail Vance. Regular evidence that would nail regular citizens wasn't going to work. The evidence against Vance had to be a lot more than that, to nail the Director of an Agency, it had to be a lot more and they couldn't just go on their guts or assumptions or twisted facts. It had to be cold hard facts and plans.

"Boss, if that is Jenny, why didn't she just tell us in the first place?" Tony asked Gibbs. He was the expert in all things Jennifer Shepard, so he figured that his boss could answer that. "I mean, what's she trying to hide. We've already found her, got her DNA and everything. So why still pretend?"

"I don't know, DiNozzo," Gibbs admitted. He wasn't one to lie after all. "But I'm going to find out."

As if on queue, Gibbs' phone rang, his caller ID saying that it was Ducky calling with news about the Director.
