Tim sat at his desk, he was wondering were Gibbs and Ziva were, he hadn't seen them since he got in.

"So what did I miss last night?" Tim looked over at Tony who was leaning back on his chair.

"Not much, Gibbs sent everyone home. I woke up on Abby futon at about four A.M and told him about the look out and the chase, turned out we didn't get anything. Ummm, oh Ziva got called back here at about eight to help Gibbs with something" Tony threw a ball of paper over into Tim's bin.

"How come he didn't just get you to help?" Tim questioned.

"well other than the fact that my back is killing me, he said Ziva was better for the job"

8:30 A.M

Ziva got into the truck with Gibbs, he handed her a coffee and began to drive.

"So what do we have?" She asked taking a quick sip of her coffee.

"Got another dead petty officer"

"Any connection to the others?"

"Not that I could find, I'll get McGee to did when he gets in"

"How was this one killed?"

"Execution style"

"that's new ?" Ziva remembered, he she was the fourth body to be found.

"Yep" Ziva sipped more of her coffee as she took in Gibbs words, it just wasn't making sense.

"What ya thinkin?" He asked.

"Are you sure it is the same killer?"

"Yep same blue triangle on the wall"

"It's just the there is no connection between the victims and three different methods have been used to kill the victims. Execution, broken neck and strangulation." She stopped.

"It's almost like there are three different killers"

"Don't you think is risky to re-activate Agent 2 ?"

"Why would it be, he has no memory"

"He' a federal agent, you remember how he reacted during training? It was noticeable and now he works with highly trained investigators"

"It doesn't matter do you really think a pathetic agency like NCIS can bring down this operation?"

"But what if he gets out of control? And beside last time the more he was active the more he began to remember"

"We still have Agent X, if we need to we'll sent her to terminate him"

"But I thought she was undercover in Russia?"

"Ha, we control her, she's the only project that completely worked"

"I still don't know"

Gibbs and Ziva arrived at the crime scene at nine.

"Where Is Tony?"

"He's gone home for a shower, a change of clothes "

"And McGee?"

"He really wasn't looking good, told him not to come in till ten"

"That is very considerate of you"

"Well he's no good to the investigation if he can barely stand" Ziva let out a small giggle.

"Beside the local police gathered all the evidence and took photos, not much left to do, and the only witness is Israeli" Gibbs said as he pulled in.

"They do not speak English?"

"Nope"

"How about if…" Tony stood in the bullpen flicking through photo's on the big screen, he'd been going on about connections between the victims none of which made sense or would work out.

"Look Tony, we need to start from the beginning "Tim suggested from his desk, he was holding his head in his hands trying to shield his eyes from the light.

"No, McGee what we need to do is get some kind of lead" Tony rubbed his chin then looked over to McGee noticing his head in his hands.

"You okay McGee?"

"yeah, just a head ache"

"You have been acting kinda odd lately" Tony moved over to McGee's desk.

"Yeah, I don't really know what it is, I just" Tim shook his head and looked up at Tony.

"Maybe you should go see Ducky?"

"No, I just think I need rest and probably aspirin" Tim smiled, trying to relieve Tony.

"Can we trust Agent X ?"

"Why wouldn't we, she is completely under our control"

"I mean with Agent 2, you remember how they where"

"That doesn't mean anything"

"Oh but I think it does, we almost lost control of both of them last time"

"No we lost control of Agent 2, not Agent X"

"Then why use Agent 2, we should leave him dormant and find a more trust worthy Agent "

"While Agent 2 may not respond well when used, but he was one of our best and he's the only one out of our original batch that is still alive "

"That doesn't mean anything"

"Do you remember Russia?"

"How could I forget?"

"It was Agent 2 that made it possible"

"I still don't know, I don't think it's the best idea"

"Well I've already started to re-con"

"How he responding to it?"

"Not well but better than he did the first time"

Ziva walked over to a young girl, about 15.

"Shalom, Hashem Sheli Ziva David"

Gibbs decided to look at the crime scene, he got there to find Ducky leaning over the body.

"Hey Duck, what ya doing here?"

"Ah, Jethro you know not to keep me from a body"

Gibbs smiled.

"So what do have Duck?"

"Well time of death was about five hours ago, so that's… around four AM, cause of death was a shot to the head execution style"

"I already knew that Duck"

"Yes well, I found a strange mark on the neck almost like a signature"

"Do you think it's linked to the blue triangle?"

"Perhaps but it's odd that our killer would start now"

"This is the third method used to kill the victim, maybe there more than one killer?"

"Maybe, but this is the first time this mark has come up, are you saying that a new player has joined our game?"

"hey Abby!" Tony yelled over the music.

"HI Tony"

"So anything new?"

"Ha, that sounds like a joke"

"Yeah" Tony smiled.

"So what brings you down here then?"

"Thought I'd pay you a visit, that and McGee boring me"

"Oh yeah that reminds me, how is McGee?"

"I don't know, he's been acting weird lately, he said he's just tired, got a head ache"

"Well McGee doesn't like people to worry about him"

"Yeah, well it's probably just this case and the fact that he's been staring at a computer screen the whole time"

"Did you get anything from the witness?" Gibbs turned to Ziva.

"She said it was dark and at first she didn't realise that there was a problem, she did pay much attention"

"Did she see what they looked like?"

"White male, tall, short hair, no visible scars or tattoos, dressed in black, she didn't see his face"

"Doesn't give us much to go on"

"She did however say that she thought she heard him speak to someone, probably through an earpiece"

"What did he say?"
"She couldn't make much of it out, her English I defiantly not good, but she thinks he said, assignment complete AG 2 Waiting"

"Waiting for what?"

"She does not know he turned and she ran"

"She didn't see his face when he turned?"

"She was scared Gibbs, she just ran"

"Well at least we got something, even if it's nothing"

"Maybe when we get back abby will be able to find something on the surrounding security cameras"

Any ideas? Next chapter will reveal even more. :D
