NCIS: Arendale

Chapter 9

First thing, get Jack out as soon as possible. I have to keep him busy for about an hour.

Elsa of course forgot where she left the cold case file for our parents death. Still, it baffles me on how much she trusts him.

Sure she likes Jack, but maybe it's deeper than that.

I can ask her about it later. Right now, we need to put on our acting gloves on.

There's a show both of us have to put on.

*Jacks POV*

I noticed that Elsa had stopped talking in the middle of her sentence when I came in.

It made me suspicious to who she was really talking to. Of course she denied it completely. I really wish she will just tell me everything.

But if I can solve her parents case, maybe she'll finally open up to me. It will be on a major time crunch.

She only has two and half months left here. Two months left to try and get her to fall in love with me. Because... I am desperately in love with Elsa.

There I said it. Or rather, thought it. Still, it counts. It's not like I can admit it to anyone other than her.

And she's not ready for it yet, I can tell. My phone starts to ring. I check to see that it's Chad.

"Hello?"

"Jack, Pitch is on his way back to headquarters. You need to be ready for him."

"How long has he been gone?"

"About a couple hours at least.-" there's some mumbling on the other side.

"Sorry Jack gotta go." He hangs up suddenly. I jerk my phone away from my ear. They must have found his car, or caught up to it.

I sit down at my computer and pull up the newspaper report from three years ago.

The headline reads, King and Queen die on unfaithful voyage along with twenty other passengers.

I look at the picture of the king and queen together. They were amazing rulers....wait.

I narrow my eyes at the picture of the queen. She looks like someone I know. I dig further.

Their parents, the old queen has blonde hair, the old king has blue eyes. Like Elsa.

What am I thinking? I shake my head. Maybe I'm going crazy. But I can't stop myself and keep going into the royal family tree.

There are pictures of the two princesses when one was just a year old and the now queen was four. The youngest has red hair, freckles, and blue eyes. Just like her father.

I smile and look at the older sister. Almost white hair, just like her grandmother. She also has blue eyes like her sister.

Just as I'm about to close the window, I stop. Those blue eyes look oddly familiar, almost like-

"Jack." I close all the windows and look up at her. "Yeah?"

"We have to leave in a few minutes."

"Alright, I'll be there in just a second." I gather up my things. Elsa turns to leave, but stops looking at my computer.

"What's that?" She's pointing at the picture of the old rulers. Apparently I didn't close all the windows.

I exit out of the page quickly. "Nothing. It's nothing don't worry about it." I try giving her a reassuring smile.

Elsa doesn't look convinced. "Didn't you say that we had to get going? So that you could meet the queen."

"Y-yeah we do. Let's get going." She looks at my computer one more time before walking away from my desk.
