Work Text:
As he and the team continue investigating the death of Larry Fuentes, a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps who allegedly fell to his death during a late night training exercise, Gibbs can't shake off the feeling that his gut is telling him this isn't an accident.
No.
If...
If anything, it's much worse.
Murder.
If that's the case, then his fellow Marines just went from witnesses to suspects.
All of them.
It's going to take much longer than usual to get to the truth.
But Gibbs would like to know if it is a murder, who had motive to kill Fuentes?
Did he see something unexpected?
A possible crime being committed?
If so, what was it?
How bad?
Is it something that could get a fellow Marine court-martialed?
Sent to military prison for life?
Gibbs doesn't know yet, though.
Neither does his team.
But they will see to it that Fuentes gets justice.
Nothing's going to stop them.
And that is a promise.
