Sorry that it's taken so long and I have no good excuses
I wish I owned NCIS and Torchwood but unfortunately I don't and I have to deal with my laptop which is held together with 4 pieces of sellotape.
Chapter 10
"Hi everyone woooww this place is packed!" Jack shouts as he enters back into the hub.
Everyone looks up at us and I look round to see Sarah and Abby deep in conversation probably about her physics homework.
"OK two things" I say to the six pairs of eyes looking at me "Firstly, Sarah do not dare ask Abby and/or McGee or Palmer or even Ducky to do your homework for you! Trust me I have made that mistake before and also do we have anything?"
"I looked at the CCTV cameras in the ally where our sci-fi marine was found and I saw a shadow leaving the scene" McGee answers
"I enhanced it as much as I could using the NCIS laptops but I can't quite get a face" Abby continues
"Ok sprog go and get all of the Pink shoulder faces that we know of from the boxes over there they're the special ones that I brought especially for you. Up load them on to the big screen. Tony help her. Abby, McGee with me. Ducky and Palmer continue the autopsy. Gibbs-"
"I'll go and get coffee" Gibbs answers and starts to ascend the staircase.
"Get more than one and take one of the Torchwood weapons with you" Jack says and presses a red button on the wall "Nobody presses this button but me. You got that sprog?"
"I know the drill Jack!" I reply
After the button has been fully pressed then the wall rotates to reveal a wall full of confiscated weapons and other USCTTR, Unidentified Stuff that's Come Through The Rift, he picks up a Compact M1911.
"Well it is a long time since I have seen one of those" I remark to myself.
"It should fit into your normal holster but if it doesn't you can always borrow mine" Jack says flirtatiously.
"It fits perfectly thanks" Gibbs replies and quickly disappears up the stairs. Jack takes Abby and McGee towards the computer screens and starts talking to them in some weird language that nobody understands. Some computer nonsense. "Tony over here." I call over and he follows me towards some files. Ok not some. A lot.
"I do have one question" Tony says
"Squirt" I say
"Its shoot Ziva. Shoot. Why, if Torchwood is so technologically advanced, do you keep these files in cardboard boxes and not on the computers?"
"Well, nearly half of these photographs were taken before USB sticks and digital cameras were invented to put them into the computer"
"Yes but Ziva scanners were invented for just this reason"
"Yeah, but when there are only five of you in the entire office and about 600 pictures to scan after each day of work, each taking around 5 minutes each, Could you be bothered?"
"I think that's the most logical thing that I've heard since about 9 o'clock this morning!" Tony jokes and we start to work through the pictures.
1 HOUR LATER
"Everyone, Breaking news" Jack announces from his office. Everyone, thinking he's going to say something important about the case, immediately stops what they are doing and looks up at him. "I am extremely hungry"
"So you are trying to get a free meal?" I ask teasingly
"Basically yes Sprog, we'll make a genius out of you yet"
"Sarah?"
"I heard my name?!" Sarah says looking down from Jacks office
"How is the homework going?" I ask "Good" She replies "Would be going better if you'd let your friends help me!" she adds childishly
"Yes well if I let my friend's help you will you understand what you are doing?"
"I wo-"
"I did not think so now get down here and we are going to go and get take out" I add. To be honest pretty proud of myself, as Sarah walks down the staircase leading from Jacks office.
"Where are we going for food?" She asks "Wherever it is it has to be better than normal Monday lunch at school!"
"And why's that?" McGee asks her inquisitively.
"Well Mondays we have this disgusting Tunary pastary thing, Tuesdays I have my singing lesson and by the time I get in there the only thing left are plastic cheese sandwiches ug-h, Wednesdays it starts to get good with Pizza, Thursday's are the best- chicken burgers yummy, Fridays is fish and chips and just to make it different for tea we always have the next day's lunches" Sarah replies and I am startled to hear that it has not changed since I was there.
"What do you have at weekends?" Tony asks obviously interested now we are talking about food!
"urrrrm...It changes but it's usually take out on Saturday and some form of meat and veg on Sunday"
"Traditional Sunday roast my dear? Sounds delicious!" Ducky adds obviously feeling a little nostalgic
"Well are we gonna get going or not?!" Tony asks
"Awww are you hungry Tony?!" I ask and pet his face
"Yes I am actually" He replies "Where are you going anyway?"
"oo oo oo"
"Yes Abby?"
"Why don't you go to Luigis? It's a Chinese takeout owned by this Italian guy who's family originally came from Spain"
"That sounds awesome! Oh Mum can we go there please?" Sarah says a little too excitedly
"Well I do not know where I am going-"
"Ziva its fine I'll take her! I wanna find out what you're really like miss-ninja-style-hieeeeyyyaaaa-David!" Abby replies
"Fine by me! I'll tell you all of her secrets" Sarah replies
"Sarah..."
"Fine I'll tell you some of her secrets. Now can we go please?"
