"Mr. Aramis Pairs was mauled by a rather large animal"
"Tell me something I don't know Duck"
"The animal in question was Feline in species"
"So you're telling me that there is a Lion walking around that place?"
"Or a Mountain Lion"
"And how exactly does a Mountain Lion walk around without anyone noticing?"
"Why Jethro that's your job" Ducky chuckled.
"I'm telling you Abby he was huge! Like a mountain!"
"Wow!"
Ziva rolled her eyes at the two, though she had a small smile on her face, she too was an amazed at Tim's family and how energetic they were, and she wondered how the calm, and patient, McGee came to be.
"His Mom was hot too!"
"Tony!" Ziva scolded.
"What? She was!" Tony insisted, "and if I was sure Daddy McGee wasn't going to eat me, I would have hit on her"
"But he would have and I wouldn't have stop him"
Tony rubbed the spot where it had been slapped.
"Why aren't any of you upstairs with McGee?" Gibbs asked.
"Ummm..."
Both Tony and Ziva glanced at each other guilty before hurrying to the elevator.
"Awww, I wanted to know more about the McGee Clan" Abby pouted just as one of her babies dinged.
"You can ask him later, what you got for me Abby" Gibbs said as he handed her the large red and white cup.
"Well, Ducky's guess was almost right, the Marine was killed by some kind of big cat, but here is where it gets hinky"
Abby clicked her on her mouse and a picture appeared on the big screen.
"Abby, why am I looking at a Sabretooth tiger?"
"Because that's the match I kept getting" Abby explained with a pout, "everytime I redo it, I get this! I think someone is playing a joke here!"
"Keep working on it" Gibbs said giving her a kiss on the cheek, then left.
When he got back to the Pen, his team was goofing off…again, with Tony as the ringleader…again.
"Come on Probie, you can tell me, was it retroactive water? Something in the air?"
Gibbs didn't want to know what Tony was asking, but he had a clue.
Tim's family, he still couldn't wrap his head over the fact that Tim, who was calm and patient came from a family as energetic as the one he met….or so touchy.
The whole two hours they were there Gibbs also noticed something else.
For one thing Tim and his brothers wouldn't looked their parents directly in the eyes, Raven always sit or stood to her husband's right and their oldest son to the left. Tim always sat to the right and an inch back when near any of his parents or siblings.
It was even odder with the way they spoke.
Gibbs wasn't sure if they noticed, but Tim's family and the townsfolk tended to slip up with their words, such as Cub, pack, mate, and other words, that made Gibbs's gut do a dance.
"No Tony, me and my family are not a experiment gone wrong…although we're starting to question Orion" Tim said bringing Gibbs out his thoughts.
"Really?"
Gibbs never got to hear Tim's answer because Tony's desk phone ranged.
Victor yawned and arched his back, a deep loud purr rumbled through his chest.
"Someone's happy"
Victor grinned up at his mate.
"Got to see my Cub today after nearly three months, I have every reason to be happy"
Raven chuckled before joining the other on the rug, she purred as she nuzzled his cheek.
"I know, and he was right his Teammates do smell good. Too bad we met them under different circumstances"
Victor's jaw tightens at the thought of the body, it did not sit well with him at all that someone had snuck into his territory and killed without him knowing.
"Do you think it could have be a Hunter?"
"No, Leo told me that it had the scent of a Were and that just pisses me off even more" Victor growled.
"And why you had the boys follow him"
"Of course"
"You know he's not going to be happy about it, especially when the boys start babying him, and you don't want to even get me started on Sarah, you know what a tongue that girl has"
" She gets that from you and besides I'm Alpha I can do whatever the hell I want, like this!"
Raven squealed when Victor pounced.
After finding out very little on the Marine, Gibbs sent them home, surprisingly it was around 7pm, the earliest they've ever left.
After paying the cab driver and saying goodbye to Ziva, Tim made his up to his apartment door and wasn't even surprised to find it full when he opened it.
"Welcome back Runt!"
"How the hell to you all even fit in my apartment?" Tim asked as he closed and locked the door.
He nuzzled his brothers in greeting and then the other two males that were there.
"Hello Mark, Nick" he said, "I didn't see you two in town when I was there"
"We were at the University" the one called Mark said.
"I forgot that you guys went back to school, what are you studying again?"
"Law" the once called Nick answered.
Mark and Nick were twins, long dark brown hair and light blue eyes, they were same age as his brother Orion, and while they weren't as muscular and big as his brothers they were tall.
"That's great, Leo get out of my refrigerator, I don't have the money to feed you're black hole of a stomach"
Leo cursed when his head hit the top of the refrigerator, before pulling out and closing it.
"Doesn't matter, there nothing in there to eat" he said, "I thought you said you were eating"
"I am, I just never said it was at home"
"Take-out?"
Tim nodded, flinching when Kuma glared at him.
"Every day?" the older brother asked.
"Well not every day, only when we have cases and stay late"
"So pretty much every day"
Tim sighed but nodded.
"That's not healthy at all Runt"
"I know, but it can't be help"
"Well starting today, that's going to change while we're here."
Tim sighed, he didn't mind his brothers being here, he knew that his Dad would send them to watch over him and Sarah after it was discovered that the scent surrounding the dead Marine was a Were, but they tended to baby him, more than they did Sarah, mostly because he was so sickly as a child, being the Runt and all.
"Now get out of those clothes and shower, Orion run to whatever store is open and get some stuff, the usually is good. Leo and I will get the luggage unpacked, Nick call Sarah again and tell her to be ready in two hours, she's staying the night over here and that Mark will be picking her up" Kuma ordered.
All five males went to do as they were told, Kuma watched them for a moment before following Tim into the bathroom.
"You're not going to wash me too are you?" Tim asked as he undressed.
"Want me too?"
"Even if I said no, it wouldn't stop you"
"No it wouldn't, but you know why we're here don't you"
"Couldn't this have waited until I wasn't naked?"
"You make it sound like I haven't see you naked before, and answer the question"
"Yes I know, Dad's worried, seeing as how there was some unknown Were around the territory"
"That's only part of the reason, we're always worried about you and Sarah. The pack has never had Cubs as young as you and Sarah leave, especially when neither of you are even close to the coming of age."
Kuma watched Tim as he turned on the shower, he waited for his little brother to answer him.
"I can take care of myself" Tim finally said.
"Even during the full moon?"
"Can't you wait until I get out the shower, that you ordered me to take?"
Kuma watched his brother step into the tub and close the curtain, he then undressed and stepped in.
"Kuma!"
Outside the bathroom Leo decided he didn't want to know.
Tony and Ziva stared, and stared. and well... stared.
"It reminds me of a pile of kittens" Ziva finally said.
Yesterday before they left, Ziva had somewhat bullied Tony in giving both her and Tim a ride to work today, Tony had gotten Ziva first because Tim won't answer his phone and Tony was to grumpy to care. So after picking up Ziva he turned around and went to get Tim, only to find the younger Agent not answering.
So one pick lock later, both Tony and Ziva found themselves here, staring down at the pile of McGees and two males they've never seen. It was literally a pile, feet and hands were in faces and other body parts, and bodies were positioned in seemly impossible way.
"Are you going to just stare all day?"
Both Agents jumped and whirled around, there was Kuma leaning against the door frame , smirking.
"Where did you come from!" Tony exclaimed waking up the others.
"Secret, and you know you really shouldn't sneak into people's houses, you might get shoot or mauled" Tony shivered at the feral grin they got; Ziva narrowed her eyes as though daring the man.
"Kuma stop teasing them" Tim yawned as he pushed an arm off his leg, "hey guys I'll be ready in a minute, Sarah get up, you need to get ready."
A mess of hair popped up out the bodies and murmured something.
"While they get ready, are you hungry I made pancakes" Kuma offered.
"I'm going to marry you're brother Probie"
Was the first thing Gibbs heard when his three Agents stepped off the elevator.
"Something you want to tell me DiNozzo?"
"Morning Boss"
"Good morning Gibbs, McGee's brother made Tony have an orgasm" Ziva said with a grin, Tim snickered.
Gibbs raised a brow then decided he needed more coffee.
"Funny" Tony said, sticking his tongue out the Officer as he went to his desk.
"Kuma made pancakes" Tim explained to his Boss.
"I didn't know pancakes was the way to making you an honest man DiNozzo"
Victor really hated these town meetings, they were so boring, but as Alpha he had to join...at least that's what his mate says every time he whines about going.
"Alpha, have you figured out who has hunted in our territory?" asked one of the elder pack members.
"No, I'm letting the humans deal with finding whoever did this" Victor said.
"But Alpha!"
"Quiet! I said I was going let them find them, I never said I was going to let them deal with punishment as well, whoever did this will be punished by my hands, but until then no one is to be alone at night or day. You will always travel in groups of two or more, same for runs and the full moon. If you see or hear anything suspicious, come to me immediately, break any of these rules and you will be punished. Understood?"
"Yes Alpha"
Marine Aramis Pairs was your average Marine, young , good family, loyal girlfriend and a good solider. No drug problems, no reason for anyone to kill him, especially in a town as small and secluded at Rosemary.
"Looks like you may be stumped on this one Jethro" Jenny said, when the Agent came in to report.
Gibbs just gave her that look.
"But of course that's not going to stop you" she then said, "keep me posted then"
Gibbs nodded and turned to the leave he was barely out the door when Jenny spoke again.
"Oh and Jethro" Gibbs turned to look at her, "there has been…rumors going around that Tony's getting married, who's the crazy woman and when can I expect an invitation?"
"McGee's older brother" Gibbs said smirking at the surprised look, "he made Tony pancakes".
"It must have been some damn good pancakes"
All these clues and they can't get it? Makes you wonder how they caught all those criminals doesn't it?
