Chapter 61

AN: Thank you for all the reviews for Chapter 60. Sorry I took so long getting this up. My oldest daughter just moved out and is expecting a baby soon so I have been kind of busy. Well here it is. I hope you like it.

Gibbs stormed into the bullpen and he was demanding answers. "DiNozzo, I want Mr. Curry taken to interrogation. I want my questioning of him on tape." Gibbs commanded. "McGee anything on Sam's father or the cases he handled."

"On it Boss." Tony said heading toward the conference room.

"Well Boss. I haven't found much. Seems that the local police station where he worked has yet to join the 21st century totally. Not all their files are on computers. I will have to call their records officer in the morning." Tim reported. "Sam, I do have a question for you. Did you know there are two Billy Walter Waverlys in South Park cemetery?"

Samantha thought for a moment. "Really? Oh I remember my dad was adopted the first Billy Walter is my grandparents' still born son. Then when they adopted Daddy they gave him the same name."

Gibbs looked at her. "Really, that's kind of strange."

"I always thought so too. Mama said they wanted a son by that name so they refused to change it." Samantha informed him. She moved over to Gibbs' desk and sat down. "I can't imagine being named after your dead brother. But Daddy was happy with it."

Gibbs looked at her and walked over to his desk where she was sitting still rubbing her aching head. He walked up behind her and began rubbing her shoulders. "Why don't you go down and get some rest? I'll go talk to David. I bet I can get some more information about this file his bosses want."

"No Gibbs I want to listen in. Maybe he will say something that will help me remember. Daddy must have said something about this or maybe I can remember someone who does." She turned and looked up at him. She had a sorrowful look in her eyes. He could tell that it was tearing her apart. First, David not being dead. Next, he is demanding a file of information about people who would fake deaths or worse. "Please let me listen in." He could not resist her anything. He nodded and then reached for her hand. He helped her up and they walked toward the elevator.

"Keep looking McGee. There has to be something either on Daniel or the people he works for." Gibbs grumbled.

"On it Boss."

NCIS

Gibbs escorted Samantha into observation. She looked up at the window seeing David angrily sitting at the table. Tony was standing in the corner staring at him. "You sure you want to listen in. He's mad that you walked off. He is not happy with me right now. "Gibbs asked her producing a can of diet coke from his pocket. "Thought you could use this."

She looked at him and smiled. Then looking around the room and seeing that they were alone she took the can and sat it down the table. She leaned into him placing her hands on his chest. "I'll be fine Jethro." She laid her head on his chest listening to the comforting beating of his heart. "He left me. He did not have faith in our love to face these people down. He thought I was just a kid and could not face something about my dad."

Gibbs reached down and lifted her chin so that he could see into her beautiful eyes. "I'm here. Whatever we find I am sure your dad was the upstanding man you always believed him to be."

"Oh I am sure he was. He must have been investigating these people. He had to be."

"Do you know what he was working on before he died?" Gibbs asked.

"He was made a Major in charge for all uniformed personnel and basically chief detective. They wanted him to be Chief of Police but he wanted nothing to do with chicken dinners and politicians. A lot like a special agent I know." She stood on her tiptoes and began kissing his cheeks working her way to his lips. After a passionate kiss, she pulled back. "Remember David changes nothing. You are my hero now Jethro. Whatever we find out about this we are together in this."

Looking around the observation he smiled an evil grin. "We can continue this after this mess in all over. I am the boss here you know."

"Think kissing me in observation would undermine your authority Agent Gibbs." She giggled.

"Maybe." He smirked lightly kissing her on the forehead.

Samantha smiled at him. "Never. You're Gibbs. They are all afraid of you." She kissed him again. "But I'm not" She giggled and kissed him again.

"I know that," he smirked. "Now time for become Special Agent Gibbs and go break this SOB." He waved his hand down over his face changing it from a grin to the stoic face of the marine he was.

Samantha whispered into his ear. "Go get him Boss. Let's see what he really wants. Now I have one of your gut feelings Jethro. I don't think he came here after all this time to see me again."Gibbs nodded with a frown. His gut was in sync with hers. He did not like the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to fall.

NCIS

Meanwhile Abby made her way up to the bullpen She had run every test she could imagine trying to figure out who this David Curry was and why he is messing with her family. When Abby entered the Bullpen, McGee was hard at work at his computer and Ziva was on the phone with the border patrol in Texas trying to find if David had crossed the border alone. "Timmy, where's Gibbs?"

"Tony took David down to interrogation. Gibbs wants to talk to him and wants it all on tape." Tim told her. He could see that Abby was upset. "What's wrong Abbs?"

"I don't like this Timmy, not one bit. Gibbs can't lose her. It will kill him." Abby was almost in tears. Ziva had just hung up the phone and she looked at Abby.

"Don't worry Abby." Ziva walked over to them. She put her arm around Abby's shoulders. "Things are going to be fine. I overheard Samantha's discussion with David. She despises him." Abby looked at her. "She told Gibbs nothing is going to change."

Abby smiled and nodded her head. Deep down she knew how Samantha would feel. She had seen her love for Gibbs grow over the past months. "Good. Anything on that file you were looking for."

"Nothing, I was hoping either David would provide us with something more or maybe Samantha would remember something. Can't call the Roswell police until tomorrow. Their files are not totally computerized and I am not sure Sam's dad would have it in the main files anyway."

"Did you search safe deposit boxes? Maybe he put it in there and Samantha does not know about it." Abby suggested.

"That's an idea." He began typing with a new enthusiasm. Abby went over to Gibbs' desk and started searching as well.

NCIS

Gibbs ran his hand through her hair, kissed her gently on the lips and then walked out of observation heading for David's interrogation room. The interrogation tech entered the room after Gibbs left smiling briefly at Samantha. Samantha sat down in a nearby chair grabbing her diet coke off the table and opening it.

Gibbs stepped quietly into the interrogation room. David looked up as he entered and scowled at him. "Where's Sammy?"

Gibbs sat down at the table across from him. "I believe she asked you to not to call her that." Gibbs paused. "Pretty adamantly I might add."

"Ok, I know she is mad at me. I can understand that." He looked up at the one way glass behind Gibbs. "I never meant to hurt you Samantha." Behind the glass Gibbs could feel Samantha's glare at this man she used to love.

"She is not in there." Gibbs replied. "You're here to talk to me."

"Bullshit" David growled. "She would demand to listen. It is my suggestion to you Agent Gibbs, if you want to stay with Samantha you don't argue with her when she gets that look in her eyes." Gibbs had a small grin on his face. He was so right. He knew that look well. When she locked her jaw and refused to budge he could not deny her anything.

"Enough of this Curry. Why now? You never answered her questions in the conference room. Why fifteen years? You said that you never believed she had any of the information your bosses want."

"No not consciously. She may however have something she does not know about."

"Tell me what you think she knows." Gibbs quietly asked. With his eyes he looked over at Tony who was now standing behind Curry watching his boss expertly interrogate their visitor. Gibbs then motioned with his head toward the door. As if by telepathy Tony knew that Samantha was indeed in observation and Gibbs did not want her to be alone. Tony quietly slipped out of the room.

Tony's move did not go unnoticed by Curry. "Tell my lovely fiancé hello for me, Agent DiNozzo." Tony turned and glared at him.

Tony was angry. "How did he know my name? How dare he call Sam his fiancé in front of her family?" he thought. Curry just looked at him and smiled. Tony glared at him again with his anger boiling up in his gut. He left the room without and word and stepped into observation. He walked up behind Samantha and gently began to rub her shoulders saying nothing.

Back in interrogation, Gibbs slammed his hand down on the table. "Curry!" he barked. "I asked you a question. Leave her reactions out of this. What makes you think she knows something about those bastards you work for?"

"Really letting your jealousy show here Agent Gibbs." Curry smiled an evil smile. "Her dad was looking into my bosses. Upon his death all information related to his investigation disappeared."

"So you think a sixteen year old girl would know about a police investigation her dad was running? Really Curry."

"Absolutely. To be marrying Samantha, Agent Gibbs you don't know her very well."

"Keep my personal life out of this Curry. Samantha is a Marine and I investigate cases involving Marines. She needs to know why you left her at the altar."

"I told you Gibbs. I did that to protect her." Curry was almost screaming. "These guys are ruthless. They want that file and they will kill to get it."

"I get that but why now. If this information has not serviced in fifteen years what makes them think Samantha will find it now?"

"Don't know that. They just told me to come here and start looking into it." Curry reached for the glass of water that he had sat down on the table and took a drink. Samantha on the other side of the window was watching him intently. Her eyes almost popped out of her head. She turned to Tony and he saw the look of shock on her face.

"What's up Sam? You look like you have seen a ghost."

"I think I did. Come with me Tony. I want to check something out." Samantha walked out of the room and headed toward the conference room. Tony was following closely behind her.

NCIS

Gibbs was still in interrogation dealing with David when Samantha and Tony returned with Abby and McGee behind them. "Who's going to be the one to break Rule 22?" Tony asked.

"I'll do it. He won't try to kill me." Samantha smiled. She walked into observation and began to tap on the window. McGee noticed the pattern immediately. She was using Morse code. "Gibbs, we have something to tell you," she tapped. She continued to repeat until she noticed that he was aware of the message.

Gibbs glared at the window but got up and walked out into the hall making his way past the crowd now in observation to Samantha. "What's up?"

"That's not David, Gibbs." Samantha told him.

"What? But the DNA said it was. We risked accessing the DNA data base to find this out." Gibbs looked puzzled. "Abby was there a mistake in the testing."

"No Gibbs. There was no mistake. The DNA matched. It matched David Curry in the data base." Gibbs looked at her with a puzzled look. He glared at all of them. He was extremely frustrated with the whole situation.

"Let me explain Jethro. I was sitting watching you in interrogation and I got a feeling something was hinky." Gibbs looked at her and motioned for her to continue. He had a look of impatience in his eyes. "Well when he drank from his glass. He used his right hand." Gibbs gave her a look like so. "Listen to me Jethro. David was left handed. This is not David. This man is right handed. David would never lift anything with his right hand. I had been injured in an accident playing Little League"

"So, if this is not David who the hell is he?" Jethro demanded.

"Well, we took his finger prints off the coffee cup he had in the conference room. This is Alexander Curry. David's twin brother." Samantha told him. "I had forgotten David had a twin. I never met him because he was in prison when David and I were together."

"Identical twin, Gibbs." Abby added. "They share the same DNA but not finger prints. Being he is an ex-con his prints were in IAFIS."

"So David was killed in the accident. Alex is here trying to pass himself off as David." She told him. Samantha immediately felt Gibbs' arm slip around her waist. "Why?"

"Don't know but I will find out." He kissed her on the cheek, turned around using a military turn and walked back into interrogation.

"I want to watch this. " Samantha replied sitting down in the chair. The rest of the team did the same thing.

"Well what did my lovely fiancé need?" Curry asked smiling. "What did she have to share with you?" He tapped out the Morse code copying Samantha's message.

"Well so you can tell me David why you switched from a left hander to a right hander?" Gibbs sat down in the chair opposite him. "It seems that David Curry was very much left handed and it seems that you're not."

"So she finally figured it out," he smiled. "Wondered how long it was going to take her."

Inside observation Samantha gasped. "He wanted me to find out. I am confused why put me through hell for this."

"I think Gibbs is about to ask him just that." Ziva interjected.

Gibbs reset himself in the chair and stared at the man. "Well Alex why put her through all that hell? Did you think pretending to be your dead brother would help her remember any information?"

"Yes," he grinned. "Got you busy looking. Didn't it?"

Gibbs turned and looked back at the glass and raised his eyebrows. It was not clear. Alex wanted NCIS to find that file. He wanted them involved. "Well Alexander you are out of luck. Once we prove your brother is indeed dead we are done. Whatever your bosses are up to I really don't care. So unless you have something else I plan to escort you to the gate of the Navy Yard and send you back. You and they have done enough damage for one evening."

Samantha looked at the team sitting around her. "Has he ever done that?"

"What?" Tony asked.

"Just let someone go like that."

"Not that I can remember." Tony replied.

The team turned back to interrogation waiting for Gibbs to continue. "You have anything else you want us to do." Gibbs asked sarcastically.

"No, I know you will find out where that information is."

"What's make you think I will keep looking?"

"Well Jethro, from what I have learned about you in my research you don't just let things drop." Curry smiled. "Especially where the darling Samantha is concerned."

Gibbs glared at him but he knew he was right. He would keep looking into this because she might be in danger. Gibbs got up and walked toward the door. "You don't know what I will do Curry." He turned toward the window. "DiNozzo, get in here and escort our guest out to the gate and kick his butt out of here."

Tony looked at the others. He left observation and opened the door to interrogation. He motioned for Curry to get up and leave the room. Curry turned and looked at the window. "Sammy my dear, I hope we meet again soon."

"Just get the hell out of here, Curry." Gibbs ordered. "Stay away from Samantha. She lost your brother and seeing you only causes her pain. I will not have her in pain."

Curry just snarled and left the room followed by Tony with a confused look.

NCIS

Gibbs walked back into observation and straight up to Samantha who had tears forming in her eyes. The whole team quietly exited the room leaving Samantha and Gibbs alone. "You ok," he whispered putting his arms around her.

"Yes. This had been a rollercoaster night." She took his face in her hands. "Are you sure sending him away was the right thing to do?"

"My gut tells me so. We can keep track on him while he is in this country and we can put a BOLO on his passport. That way we can tell when and where he leaves the country."

"What about Daddy?"

"We can continue to check into that. I want you and Kelly safe so I want to see what we can find on this guy and his "friends"."

"You think we can put this on the back burner for tonight. I feel like crap and I just want to go home and reconnect," she whispered.

"Sounds like a great idea." Gibbs smiled. He took her hand and led her out of the room.

NCIS

Tony led Alexander Curry out of the building and opened the door of his car. Tony drove him out to the gate. He waited with him until the cab security had called arrived and Curry got inside. "Hope we never meet again Curry."

"I have a feeling we just might, Agent DiNozzo."

"Not if I have anything to do about it." Tony grumbled.

As the cab pulled away from the Navy Yard Alexander Curry grabbed his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hola Carmelita my darling. The seed has been planted. Special Agent Gibbs now has the ball and I am sure he will move heaven and earth to find out what you want him to find out. "

On the other end of the phone was a woman with a Spanish accent. "Alexander my dear I sure he will. I can't wait I get to meet Agent Gibbs."

"Are you ever going to tell me what you have against Agent Gibbs and Samantha?" Alex asked.

"Maybe someday. All I can say is that they both owe my familia their lives." Carmelita replied as she hung up the phone.
