Undercover NCIS

Chapter - Seven

It took a second for me to recover from the blast. I saw the man who shot at me walking towards me and I reached for my gun. The guy shot but I shot back and he fell to the ground. Sirens and flashing lights came up and I had them arrested and the ME loved the paper work I gave him. Vance drove up. "Mason. We gave you this case to help. You are supposed to assist." He said. "Sorry Vance. I have been on my own for so long.. it won't happen again." I said and got in the car with him.

Vance drove me to NCIS where we went upstairs and past Jethro and Tony. My lip was busted and we still went into MTAC. I filled in the officer who didn't look shocked. "Mason you are dismissed from MTAC Officer Dale and I have something to discuss." Vance said and I walked out.

I went downstairs. "Mason." Jethro said and I looked at him with maddened eye making him look a bit scared. "I went on my first case. The idiot had a bomb." I said and Tony walked up from behind with Jackson who was knocked out. "I see he didn't give you much trouble." I said and Tony went to touch my cheek. "Jethro is Dad still here?" I asked turning towards him to see him shake his head. "The shop needed him back so he sends his love." Jethro whispered making me smile. "Tony. I am so looking forward to drinks tonight if your available." I said as Tony passed Jackson to me. As I made it to the elevator Vance joined me. "I'm planning your next assignment." He said. "Director I was thinking maybe I could review old cases so that I'm not in the field as much. I just I couldn't do that to my son. I just got him back he doesn't need to lose his mother." I said and Vance nodded. "Come with me. I'll show you where we keep the old case files." Vance said and we went into the garage.

It had several boxes of cases. "Closed cases, unfinished cases. You name it." Vance said grabbing a box and setting it down for me. "Thank you." I said and took the box home.

Several hours passed and Jackson was playing by himself and then Jethro got home. "What are those?" He asked picking up Jackson. "Old cases. I asked Vance to go over them. See what was gone by with a fine tooth comb and what wasn't." I said and looked at the clock. "Do you mind looking after Jackson tonight? I know you have no one to be with... no offense. Maybe I should look into buying my own place that doesn't have you taking a boat outta the basement every year." I said and Jethro smiled. "Maybe. You love this house too much." He said making me smile. "Go." He said and I went out the door just to see Tony drive up..

In the car I told him I have very different margarita recipes that all taste good but didn't have any ingredients. He drove me to the store and I grabbed several fruits and Tony got tequila. When we got to his apartment I mixed a blend of different flavors. We were both very drunk and I couldn't help but grab his tie and kissed him.

Tony kissed back and we striped Tony was passionate and pinned me against the wall. As the night disappeared and the day came I woke up before Tony and went home. I left a note talking Tony I had fun and was looking forward to next time.

I made it back and showered. I got out and Jethro was with Jackson. "You should hire a babysitter. I have to work some nights." He said. "Don't worry Jethro. I have things planned. Finish up some cases and find a place for the two of us. Tomorrow he starts school and I'll be out of your hair." I said and walked away.

A few weeks passed and I was moving into a house that Jethro and I fixed up for a cheap price. The cases I went over were piled up in one area where I would put them on their own shelf and I picked out several cases where I'd stare at them for hours and make a copy and pin it in my own office I have now. I found a connection in one case with two different people murdered two different way but they both had broken ornaments on the floor in random locations.

I found several more cases in the area and I marked them on a map. Fourteen deaths each with a broken ornaments when its July. Each murder within a month of each other. NCIS was more into less paper work so the arresting officer arrested the one who the jury found guilty. Jackson goes to school and comes back and I get to hang out with him.

I had a few hundred more cases to go through and several more dates with Tony. Four weeks had passed and I found four more cases with the same arresting officer and ornament picture. This was now a total of eighteen deaths. The arresting officer was Derek Walsh. Ex Marine. I put the case file together called the sitter and before I left I kissed Jackson's head before leaving.

I went upstairs past everyone and sat in front of Vance. "Special Agent Derek Walsh. Murdered eighteen people in two years. Possibly more. I want him arrested and each of these people who were claimed guilty released. This isn't a request. You can review and bring someone else in to look at this and double check. Each case has had Derek there. In the crowd or arresting officer." I said and he started looking. "Bring me Gibbs." He said and I sighed. "I'm gonna get Derek in an interrogation room. You can get my brother." I said and went out of the room going downstairs where the extra agents go.

I found the room of Derek's and walked in. "Special Agent Derek Walsh. I'd like your help on an interrogation." I said looking around the room and then the door shut. He stood there and I went after him causing him to grab my wrist and pull it behind me. "Scream and I'll dislocate your shoulder. Also you found out way faster than I thought you would." He said smelling my hair. "I only find the truth and bring it to justice." I said throwing my head back and he let go of my arm and then throwing me back into the door. "You've gotta be shitting me. Your Mason Gibbs." He said and twisted my arm back making me flinch from the pain. "Follow me and I'll kill you." He slammed my head into the wall knocking me out.
