Rule 28: when you need help, ask.

TUESDAY 21ST JULY 12:34 DC TIME

"Penelope Garcia?" I asked knocking on the door
"Yes?" the blonde span round in her chair
"Officer Lopez, MI6. I'm a friend of Spencer, this is Abby Sciuto our forensic scientist." I explained standing awkwardly in the doorway
"Hi," she answered nervously, she seemed similar to Abby yet very different. Where Abbs presented herself as dark and goth Garcia seemed to try to keep her world bright through all the darkness she sees. I think Abby was nervous about working with her.
"Abby's just here to help, can you catch her up on the case?"
"Yes," she says simply "I wasn't expecting you so soon."
"Gibbs' driving, all I'm saying. Abbs I've got to run to the plane and I want to call spencer to talk to him so I will speak to you later," I told Abby also trying to reassure her
"Okay see you, Alex."

"So what have we got?" Gibbs asked sipping his coffee on the plane
"4 dead, Petty officer 1st class Peter Griffiths. 29, married, one kid. 2 weeks ago went on leave didn't tell his family, left for 'work' one morning and didn't come home, no CCTV or traffic cams picked him up. his body was found in a ditch just off the highway 2 days later but it looked like he died the same day he was taken. ME report says repeated blunt force trauma by some sort of metal object possibly a pipe they have sent the fragments to Abby and Garcia for analysis. ME still has all the bodies and is waiting for Ducky and Jimmy.
2 days after the petty officer was found Katie Ereck, 19, lives at home and has a long-term boyfriend. Family emigrated here from Ohio when Katie was 2. Left for college one morning but never arrived, again no CCTV or traffic cams. Her body was found 2 days later on the other side of the island but looked like she died the day she disappeared and was found just 700 meters from our Petty officer with the same weapon by the looks fragments found were also sent back to Quantico.
Tye Dreakson, 27 disappeared again 2 days later and was found, you guessed it 2 days after another 800 meters down the road. Same circumstances, the same weapon so it seems. Married with 2 kids, went out to work as a builder and never arrived still no traffic cams.
32-year-old Tasha Long single mum of one kid. 2 days later left work at a nursery to pick up her son and never made it to the school, no CCTV and was found this morning a few hundred meters away. Died 2 days ago same COD and weapon. She came to Hawaii 2 years ago as a nanny to a family but the kids aged out and she decided to stay in Hawaii."

"Anything linking a petty officer, a college student, a builder and a secretary?"
"Nothing, the petty officer came from money but wanted to serve his country, the builder was in care and just aged out, the college student was straight A's and the single mum was widowed a few years ago. all lived in different areas of the island in fact Dreakson- the builder- was a tourist."
"Gibbs the BAU has their own plane why can't we have one for the entirety of NCIS?"
"DiNozzo have you been paying attention at all?"
"No, sorry boss." Gibbs smacked him with the case file JJ sent.
We were all sitting on the plane on our way to Hawaii. Gibbs, Ducky, DiNozzo and Ziva sat around the table which was set for 4 while McGee sat on his own behind IMing Abby who was complaining, every so often I would chip in telling Abby that Garcia was brilliant and to get back to work but I did little to help. I had been sat with Gibbs, Ziva and Tony but after briefing them on the case I let Ducky take my seat as he had been sitting behind with Palmer who had fallen asleep and I went and sat slumped on the sofa looking at photos of Reid and me from when he was in London while also texting him. He didn't like texting but Hotch was keeping him busy so he couldn't call, he was keeping me updated, they had just arrived and the plane had come straight back and picked us up. Now they were in pearl getting settled, Tennant had let us basically start a task force from her conference room she had told Hotch that her team would help them with their knowledge of the island but they needed to tie up some loose ends in their case first.

TUESDAY 21ST JULY 13:27 DC TIME/ 8:27 HAWAII TIME
Soon we landed and disembarked getting a lift to pearl harbour, Tennant had sent 2 of her team.
"Hey, NCIS DC Major Case Response Team?" The female agent read from the back of her hand where she seemed to have made a note of our teams name
"Yeah, I'm MI6 Liason officer Alex Lopez, Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Mossad liaison officer Ziva David, NCIS Special agent Timothy McGee and Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo who is also our senior field agent. Our ME Dr Donald Mallard and his assistant Jimmy Palmer."
"Well I'm Special Agent Kai Holman and this is Special Agent Lucy Tara. Agent Tennant has asked us to bring you back to Pearl to meet the BAU. But it's gonna take 2 cars."
"DiNozzo, McGee, Ziva, Palmer go with Agent Holman. Ducky, Alex and I will go with Agent Tara." Gibbs assigned quickly. We loaded our Go-bags and jumped in the cars, Kai driving with DiNozzo pulling rank next to him Ziva and McGee stuck with a still drooling Palmer who still wasn't fully awake. Lucy hopped into our car starting it while Gibbs slid in next to her and Ducky and I took our seats in the back.

TUESDAY 21ST JULY 13:31 DC TIME/ 8:31 HAWAII TIME
We arrived at pearl a few minutes later Ducky and Palmer were escorted to the body and Commander Chase who seemed to be their ME while we followed Kai and Lucy to their Bullpen where they pointed us towards the conference room where the BAU were
"Agent Jareau?" I asked the blonde I knew to be JJ as I pushed open the doors
"Hey Alex, is this your NCIS team? And I told you to call me JJ!"
"Sorry JJ and yes this is NCIS' Major case response team."
"Would you like to introduce them to the team?"
"Sure," JJ led us to the conference room, Tennant had kindly let us basically lead a task force from her conference room at pearl. the Hawaii team were going to finish up their case before officially being assigned to the task force.
"Guys this is Spence's friend Alex and their team. Alex, do you want to do introductions?"
"Sure, this is Mossad liaison officer Ziva David, NCIS Special agent Timothy McGee, Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo who is also our senior field agent and Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs." I introduced everyone while the BAU looked up from their piles of files spencer waved and gripped the strap of his satchel with his other hand it looked like they hadn't been here long. I recognized a few from photos Spencer had sent in his letters, I recognized Derek Morgan. Aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner and David Rossi I also recognised but not because of the photos. Reid is a geek so he regularly recommends books he's read some are profiling books that he says about because he knows that it is my hidden passion. one of the books he has recommended is Rossi's book and I met Hotch in the same task force and Reid, we had to report back to our bosses daily as Spence refused to have a laptop of his own and me and Reid used to do it together so once a day Hotch's face used to light up my laptop.
"Well NCIS this is our very own SSA Derek Morgan, SSA Emily Prentiss," That's who I didn't know, I think to myself and file the name for later "Dr Spencer Reid, SSA Hotchner who is our unit chief and SSA David Rossi our units senior agent."
"Don't forget the lovely Agent Jenifer Jareau our communications liaison," Morgan informed playfully and JJ curtsied. I gave Reid a look
"Hotch I'm going to go catch Alex up."
"Okay JJ help get the NCIS team acquainted with the case."
