A/N: If you haven't read my first Five-O/Big Bang Theory crossover, you won't know what I mean by Raj Does It Again, but that's okay, it doesn't really add that much to this story.

Chapter 17: Raj Does It Again

Raj jumped up from the computer station he'd been working at and rushed across the ops centre to Eric and Nell as the connection closed between them and the take down at the university.

"I found it!" Raj stated after a moment of hesitation as Nell looked at him suspiciously.

"The Van?" She asked and jumped up from her place.

"Yes," Raj stated. "I followed it through three days of footage - lost it, found it, and lost it again - until I found this." Raj added and showed a still shot, from a satellite, of a yard full of vans that all looked the same.

"It's a needle in a hay stack." Eric sighed.

"No. Needles," Raj stated, "because there are multiple vans!"

Nell's jaw dropped.

"That's why I kept losing the vans. Then when I traced one back to this lot, I ran other license plate numbers and pieced together the chain of events. One from the pier. One from a hotel. One from a house in Orange County. One picking up Moira three days ago from the university. So I looked into the business documentation and guess who is listed as a partial owner for the rental company?"

"Maksim Holick!" Hetty stated as she walked into the ops centre and everyone jumped.

"Exactly!" Raj stated and then covered his mouth with his hands.

"Well done Raj." Hetty said and smiled. "Once everyone arrives at the boat house, I want you to have a plan to take down that business." Hetty ordered and walked out again.

"Does she always do that?" Raj asked finding his voice again.

"Always," Nell and Eric stated in unison.

"I heard that," Hetty stated as her face appeared on the giant monitor in the centre of the room.

"Sorry Hetty."

She disappeared again.

"Well Raj, it seems like you may have saved the day." Eric stated with a smile. "Again - or so I've heard."

Raj blushed.

"Now that we have all these vans we may have the evidence we need to find these other missing men." Nell interrupted as she pointed at the list of the other test subjects on Project Chameleon.

Raj nodded again, "there is also a home address listed in the business file for Maksim Holick."

"Good catch Raj. You might have a career in espionage after all." Nell said with a playful grin and dove back into her work.

"Thank you, but I think I'll stick with the physics." Raj said jokingly but he too returned to the station he'd been working from and continued to dig deeper into Holick's financial statements.

Steve and Sam arrived at the boat house before anyone else and dove right into the interrogation of Moira Littleton. Steve sat at the table - face to face with Moira - while Sam lurked in a corner. Sam played for the home team, therefore he would have home field advantage, and even though Callen wasn't present to interrogate, Sam would be ready to intimidate. Steve liked the affect.

"So Moira how does a girl like you get involved with a guy like Frank Delano?" Steve asked.

"I'm not saying anything until my lawyer is here - but I haven't gotten my phone call yet so you two may be waiting quite some time."

"Your lawyer isn't coming because you waived all your rights when you got involved in terrorism." Sam said from the shadows.

"What are you talking about?" Moira asked with an angry sort of manic laugh. "I'm a nuclear physicist and a woman. Who are you going to convince that I am a terrorist?"

"You think that those things are going to cancel out the fact that you've killed four naval officers and a wanted fugitive from Hawaii?" Steve asked.

"I told you already, I didn't kill anyone, and I'm not involved with terrorism. My research is all to do with nuclear energy. I may be a mad scientist but I'm not terrorist."

"But you are bitter."

"Bitter that I'm innocent and being held against my will in some run down shack by two men who clearly haven't ironed out their good cop, bad cop, routine. Is this a joke? Where are the hidden cameras? What do I win for figuring you two chumps out?" Moira asked sarcastically.

"This isn't a joke."

"You two aren't the brightest crayons in the box - are you boys?"

"It looks to me like the joke is on you." Steve stated with a smirk. "We're not cops."

"We're Navy SEALs," Sam said with a sigh, "and you're being held by NCIS for the murders of five men, the theft of top secret government secrets and equipment, for aiding and abetting fugitives from the state of Hawaii, and if you must know, the cameras are located here and here." Sam added and pointed at the two corners of the ceiling.

"So back to my initial question, how does a girl like you get involved with a wanted, dirty cop and all of his accomplices out of Hawaii?" Steve asked calmly from his seat.

"How does a Navy SEAL get involved with a man like Frank Delano - if you aren't cops and he was one?" Moira asked argumentatively.

"My task-force followed him here." Steve answered. "He was the big fish back home."

"Oh so you are a war monger and you've brought that all back to American soil - bravo - and you call me a terrorist." Moira stated.

Steve smiled. "I am the leader of a task-force commissioned by the Governor of Hawaii. Clearly some people like my methods."

"Well don't you have horse shoes up your ass, and what did it get you out of - another tour in a country where the people don't even want us there?"

"My specialty is weapons and arms dealers, terrorists and the transportation and sales of illegal weapons and peoples that may pose a threat to national security. You fit into that category." Steve stated.

Sam chuckled from the corner, "he's really good at his job."

"Here we go, circling back around to me and this foolish idea that I'm a terrorist." Moira stated with a roll of her eyes. "I guess it's time for me to bring back an oldie but a goodie as well. I want to talk to my lawyer!" She added more aggressively.

"Maybe we should take over," Callen said as he and Danny - still dressed as billionaire business men - walked into the interrogation room.

"Let me guess - not really millionaires are you. I guess I'm not getting any money for my research now - am I?" Moira asked with disinterest. "Good thing the lot of you aren't hard to look at or this would be a complete waste of my time." She added sarcastically.

"We still want to talk about your research." Callen said as he drew up a second chair - as Steve opted to stand and Danny took his place at the table next to Callen.

"I don't think I'll be saying anything to you without my lawyer."

"Sam and Steve weren't lying when they said you don't get a lawyer." Danny said. "And as we technically work for the government and come here with pretty much carte blanche from all kinds of people, and because we really aren't as sexist as you think we are, we're going to treat you with the same respect and persuasion techniques that we'd use on any man." Danny explained.

"You're bluffing. I can see it in your eyes - pretty boy." Moira stated cockily.

Danny rose an eyebrow to Callen who smirked at Danny.

"It's gotta be the hair," Callen stated.

"I've been saying that for years." Danny said with a nod.

Sam caught a glance from Danny and opened the trap door in the floor of the boat house.

"You gonna water-board me?" Moira asked defiantly.

"No," Callen half laughed as he shook his head. "That's not how water-boarding works, but you're a physicist, I'm sure you could figure that out. I don't expect you to be familiar with torture techniques, but they are all rather complex."

"Oh, and before you ask, it's not Keelhauling either." Danny stated.

"Keelhauling?" Callen asked with intrigue.

"You have a boat house and you don't keelhaul?" Danny asked in shock. "It's Steve's preferred method of interrogation torture in Honolulu." Danny explained, while from the corner Steve grinned and nodded.

"See, this here is what we in the business call networking. You never know what the other agencies are doing until you invite them in to show us a thing or two." Sam stated as he paced along the back wall.

"You men are animals!" Moira spat.

"I find that offensive!" Callen said with a shake of his head. "We were trying to play nice - trying to be civil. Hell, we were even gentle in the take-down and this is the thanks we get?"

"You ambushed me at my place of employment." Moira yelled.

"A place we already knew you were 'let go' from. Just finishing off your contract with your mentor as he slipped gracefully into retirement and you're being replaced by one of the other big names in Nuclear Physics. We call that motive. You didn't get fired because of us. You just don't have what Caltech is looking for in a star Physicist." Danny stated calmly. "And judging by your demeanor and the way you've been sassing all of us, I can see why they passed over you. I wouldn't want to work with you either."

"How do you know that?" Moira gasped.

"Well aside for the fact that we know you are bitter and being chased out of your lab as soon as your boss is out - Sheldon and his motley crew work with us." Callen explained.

"And we have access to more government and international intelligence then most people even think exists." Sam added. "We know a lot about you and have already formed most of our own conclusions based on study, research and networking with other people within your field." Sam said as he pulled a bait box out of the water as Steve placed a rather large knife on the table before Callen.

"Take my hand," Danny said with a smile.

"No!" Moira screamed. "What could you possibly be baiting?"

"You're going to find out." Sam smiled.

"You're going to cut off my fingers, aren't you, and feed them to the fish until I tell you what you want to hear. That's inhumane!"

"We tried to do things the easy way!" Steve yelled as he swiped the knife off the table and slammed it down again - making a horrible clattering noise.

"All right, gentlemen, that is enough of that. Perhaps Miss. Littleton needs a woman's touch." Hetty stated as the door to the interrogation room was opened just before Sam could start to play out the charade. "I'll take over from here. We have a new assignment for all of you." She added and shooed the four men out.

"You're really in trouble now," Callen stated just before he left.

"Now it's just you and me." Hetty said pleasantly as she sat down before the suspect.

"Who are you?"

"Henrietta Lange - but I don't expect you to know who I am."

"I'm not afraid of you, Henrietta."

"Oh, Miss. Littleton, you will be."

"What's going on Eric?" Callen asked as he, Steve, Sam and Danny walked out and turned to the monitors in the common room.

"Rajesh may have broken this case for us." Eric answered.

"Way to go Raj!" Steve stated proudly.

Raj nodded silently from beside Eric and blushed slightly.

"Kensi, Deeks, Kono and Chin have already been re-directed to a van company on the city's north side and have LAPD backing them up," Eric explained, "but we've also found two other locations that we think belong to the other men on the test list, and a possible home address for Maksim Holick."

"That's a lot of variables," Callen stated.

"Yes. Hetty wants Danny and Steve to check on the two test subjects, while you and Sam hit up Holick's."

"But you have to return those suits before you head out!" Nell stated over Eric's shoulder, "Hetty's orders."

"We'll be right in." Callen sighed.

"We'll have everything ready when you get here." Nell stated and ended the transmission.

"Is it wise to send us in without one of you?" Danny asked.

"Don't you think we can handle it?" Steve asked and there was hurt in his tone.

"This isn't Hawaii, Steve. You don't have your immunity and means here."

"Yes, he does, Detective Williams, and so do you." Hetty stated as she appeared again and unannounced. "For this you'll be acting officially on behalf of NCIS. Welcome to the family."

Steve beamed proudly.

"But Hetty, the only thing keeping Steve under control and on his best behaviour was that lack of authority." Danny practically whined.

"I know, Daniel, but desperate times call for desperate measures, and Steven has a certain skill set that is useful to me." Hetty said and took Danny's hand between her and pet it. "You'll be fine. There will be adequate back up coming to you from Nell and Eric, and the rest of your friends. They will be watching your every move."

"Oh God, I wanna go home." Danny said with a sigh and followed Callen and Sam out to the awaiting vehicles.

Hetty shook her head slightly and waited for the door to close behind the men.

"Mr. Beale," Hetty called into the now silent boat house.

"Yes," Eric answered as the monitor sprang to life again.

"Moira and her cousin are working on bombs, but not as we thought. Get me everything you can on the nuclear power plants in the area, and get me Homeland and the FBI. I'll be back in the office shortly. Put our Caltech scientists on the power plants as soon as they get back to you." Hetty ordered. "If we don't act quickly Holick will be in the wind and we'll all be in very big trouble."
