Hey Guys! Sorry for the two/three month wait but here is Chapter 17. And can I just say that I love you guys? Cause I do. Even when this story went on an unannounced hiatus for a bit, there were a few of you who didn't give up on me, and its for you that I want to finish this story. This may be short but I hope that it tickles your fancy.
Gibbs closely followed the FBI agent to a meeting room where a giant cardboard box sat on the table. Fornell closed and locked the door, wanting to ensure that whatever was said in this room was not to be interrupted by an outside party. He turned to observe Gibbs, who was growing more and more impatient as the seconds ticked by, and Fornell didn't blame him especially since the other had an agent in the hospital room down the hall.
"Okay I'll make this quick so you can get back to your agent. We intercepted this box the same day your agent was kidnapped; we learned that from your director." He added at the confusion glinted in Gibbs' eyes. "Anyways, we were told to wait for you to be done with your investigation before handing it over, and if I am assuming correctly you are done with this case." Fornell said as he walked the short distance to the box, and slowly lifting the top flaps up revealing papers, tapes, and pictures. At first Gibbs was unsure as to what this had to do with Alaister and the case and he opened his mouth to tell Fornell this when a certain picture caught his eye.
"This is…" He said as he reached for the picture. "This is DiNozzo…" He said staring down at the image of his second in command in his jogging shorts and old University t-shirt.
"Everything in this box is about him." The voice of the FBI agent snapped him out of his daze.
"What?"
"Gibbs, this Alaister guy has been tailing DiNozzo for the last few months. There are copies of bills, phone bills, credit history. They even got the address of his old childhood home, and not to mention all the pictures. I don't know who this guy was Gibbs, but he was seriously twisted." Fornell said, pulling out the things as he mentioned them and placed them in front of Gibbs, who looked like he wanted to kill someone. "It's as if he wanted to know as much about your agent as he possibly could."
The NCIS agent was silent as he stared down at the documents, making Fornell a bit uneasy.
"That didn't deserve to die the way he did." Gibbs said, breaking the unsettling silence. "He should have died slow and torturously." He said before Fornell could question his friend.
The FBI agent stood for a moment, silently agreeing with the other before clearing his throat.
"This box is now in the jurisdiction of the NCIS as of further notice as it does pertain to your case." He said as he put all the papers and pictures in the box. "Now, Jethro go back to your agent, he needs you more than I do at the moment. And don't worry the evidence transfer papers have been taken care of." The FBI agent said as he made a shooing motion with his hands.
"Thanks Tobias." Gibbs said before exiting the room and leaving the other agent alone.
"That boy had got that man in the palm of his hand." The older man said to himself as he picked up the box and exited the meeting room, making sure to leave his number at the nurses' desk just in case Gibbs had any questions and he wasn't at his office
Meanwhile, Gibbs pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number that he was supposed to have dialed the moment they had stepped foot in the hospital.
"Shepard."
"Jenny, we found him. He was shot, but we're at the hospital. He just got of surgery about an hour ago"
"Gibbs, I thought I told you to call me the moment you…"
"I'm calling you now, and that's all that matters."
The director rubbed the side of her head with one hand and sighed.
"Fine. I want the doctor to call. I want to know how long my agent will be out for."
All she got in response was a grunted agreement before the line went dead. The director sighed as she hung up the phone and rested her head back against her chair. That man never made her job easy did he?
I added Jenny in the end cause its been awhile since she was mentioned XD
Now, I have talked with that review button down there and it says that its sad cause barely anyone presses on it. So save it from its depression and leave me a review? It benefits all three of us; the readers, the author, and the review button. Until next time my lovelies!
