Chapter 14
Gibbs's team was at lost. The only clue they had were the messages, and those were so far, a dead-end. The team members were at their desks, until they saw Agent Wagner approaching them.
" Hey Gibbs. "
" Wagner. "
" Have you heard about Palmer already? "
" What about him? " The other agents looked at them, paying attention to the talk.
" Someone shot at his place last night. "
" What?! "
" Yeah, I got called. I know he works pretty closely to your team. I was wondering if you or one of your agents would have anything useful. " The agent looked from him to the others, who were already standing up next to them, concerned.
" Is he alright? " Asked Ziva.
" Yes, he was not at home at the time. He left for a walk. "
" And you have any leads? " Asked Tim.
" None so far. It's why I'm here. I already talked to Ducky, he has no clue how this happened. Palmer says he doesn't either. Do you guys have any ideas? "
The agents looked at each other, and said they had no idea.
" Anything in his personal life? Anything he mentioned? "
" I can't say he did. He's a very private person. " Said Gibbs, the others agreeing with him.
" That's what everybody else said too. How about any cases? Any people that could have grudges against him? "
" No, Ducky is the one that testifies at court, he's just the assistant. " Said Gibbs, his gut churning. This happening right after they got such a weird case. He did not believe in coincidences. Could this maniac be targeting his team? He would have to talk to Ducky. " We'll let you know if we think of anything. "
Agent Wagner left the bullpen. leaving the team to think about what they had learned.
" Boss, do you think this may have anything to do with this case? " Asked McGee.
Gibbs grabbed his coffee and walked out of the bullpen.
" I take that as a maybe. " Said Tim to no one in particular, returning to his desk.
