Lieutenant Adams
Gibbs and McGee, pull up in the blue sedan outside of a house with white picket fencing in a desirable neighborhood. They pull in and both get out of the car. Gibbs leads the way down the path to the front door where he knocks loudly on the door. They wait silently for someone to answer them.
A man who looks to be round about 20 years old opens the door in boxers and a navy blue t-shirt. “How can I help you,” he greets the Agents standing outside his front door.
“Are you Lieutenant Adams,” Gibbs demands calmly.
“Who wants’ to know?” the man asks
Gibbs and McGee retrieve their badges and show them to man, “Special Agent Gibbs, and Special Agent McGee, NCIS,” Gibbs introduces them.
“NCIS, what’s happened? Am I meant to have done something wrong?”
“You tell us,” Gibbs says, “We are investigating the murder of one of your colleagues, Sergeant Thompson and wondered if we could have a word.”
“Now?” the man asks dumbly.
“Well we can either have a chat here now or down the station, whichever you prefer.”
“Come on in,” the man says reluctantly loosing the Agents into his house.
Gibbs follows the man through the house into the kitchen, McGee following behind them silently.
“Lieutenant Adams,” Gibbs starts, “What was your relationship with Sergeant Thompson like?”
“Call me Ben, please,” Lieutenant Adams states, “He’s my senior officer and was also training me to be a sniper, why?”
“Did you get along well with Thompson?”
“We have our minor differences, but doesn’t everyone. What are you implying?”
“Right now nothing,” Gibbs states, “we’re just trying to get a feel for Sergeant Thompson’s life, who he worked with, what he did in his spare time, that sort of thing.”
“Well I can’t tell you much about his personal life, we weren’t close. I know he had a son, Joseph but that’s about it. He kept himself to himself at work, and I’ve never really spent any time with him in a personal setting. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help. What happened exactly?”
“Right now, because this is an ongoing investigation all I can tell you is that him and his son we’re each shot twice, at the boy’s school. If you think of anything else please get in touch.” Gibbs says handing him his card, “I’m sure we will need to speak to you again sometime.”
With that Gibbs and McGee leave the house and head back to NCIS headquarters.
