Gibbs's Vampire

Looking For Answers

Since she already had a death grip on him it wasn’t hard for Gibbs to catch Faith as she passed out. There were a LOT of unanswered questions about this girl in his arms. Like what kind of life did she lead in which she had to learn to become a cold, unemotional, killer. How had she taken on hundreds of men without getting shot? If she had been under sedation when they went to get her back how had she manage to kill a couple of people like nothing? Why was she showing no signs of having been shot? And what the hell was that a few minutes ago when it appeared she was in two places at once?

Gibbs lifted her up bridal style and gently carried her over to one of Duck’s tables. Now was not the time for questions. Now was the time for helping her. But first they had to figure out what caused her to pass out in the first place. He gently laid her on the table then stepped away so Ducky could get in close and check things out. He was worried about the girl that was friends with Abby. She seemed to hold a lot of mystery that she didn’t appear to be letting go anytime soon.

Gibbs looked at Tony, he seemed worried.

“Call McGee. Tell him what's going on. Then go assign a few cops to watch over her room," Gibbs told Tony, who nodded without question and left the morgue. Gibbs figured if he kept Tony busy it would keep him from worrying too much. Unlike Gibbs and Ziva it seems the rest of his team took a slight liking to the raven haired fighter. Abby was already close to the girl, McGee was generally a friendly guy and liked anyone and Tony was friendly when it came to the women. Ducky also seemed to care about the girl, even though he was worried about her past. But as he said. She is only but a child. One that had to grow up too fast too young. Gibbs was inclined to agree with that. Sure she was about Abby’s age, but the young woman seemed to be much older then her childhood friend.

“She almost took me and an armed guard out when coming in here,” Gibbs told Ducky.

“Really?” Ducky looked down to the girl on his table, a young child who he feared for. “What could possess such a young child to grow up so cold and distant? To turn her body into a weapon of death and destruction.”

“That’s what I plan to find out Ducky,” Gibbs said before leaving the morgue. He wanted to know anything and everything about this girl, and if she wasn’t going to tell him he would find someone who would. The first place he would look is the family Thomson. She claimed to have changed her name, which means she must have inserted herself with a family of that last name at some point. As he got off the elevator he was almost run over by McGee. Luckily McGee noticed before crashing into him.

“How is she boss?”

“Alive. I need you to look into everything you can about her.”

“But we tried....”

“Try again!”

“Right boss,” McGee ran over to his desk and sat down typing away on his computer.

“Also try looking under Thomson. See if we can't find something there.” Gibbs had just sat down when his phone rang. Picking it up he listened as Ducky spoke to him. “I’ll be right down,” He said. Gibbs hung up and stood up making his way back towards the elevators.

“Boss?” McGee asked.

“Don’t worry McGee, just work.” Gibbs was unsure about what was going on. Duck said he needed him back down in the morgue right away. He hoped it wasn’t something bad. He didn’t want to tell Abby her friend has passed away due to unknown reasons. Getting out of the elevator he made his way into the morgue. “What did you find Duck?”

“Nothing. Which seems to be part of the problem. But that’s not why I called you down here...”

Gibbs noticed the look on his friend's face. He had bad news. “Give it to me Duck.”

“I’m afraid she is dead. I should have checked first, maybe I could have helped her... but I didn’t think....”

“Ducky...” But Gibbs didn’t finish as Faith gasped and opened her eyes before jumping off the table. Again Gibbs wondered what secrets this girl held.
