Prologue
Rating: K+ for now, will probably go up in later chapters.
Disclaimer: I own neither NCIS nor Rizzoli & Isles nor The Lion King.
A/N: This is just a short summary of 'Rizzoli & NCISles', written from Abby's POV. The real beginning of 'Four Years Later' is the next chapter.
My name is Abby Sciuto and I work for NCIS. Never heard of that? Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Four years ago, we helped Boston Homicide find the killer of a young female Marine... well, Team Gibbs helped them. Team Gibbs, that's Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Tony DiNozzo, Timothy McGee, and Ziva David- no wait, Ziva was still a Mossad liaison officer for NCIS back then.
Anyway, Team Gibbs drove up to Boston while I stayed in D.C., till the day I got an e-mail from McGee. He wrote that Dr Maura Isles, the Boston Medical Examiner, reminded everyone of Special Agent Caitlin Todd, a former colleague of ours who'd been shot dead by a terrorist. In fact, Dr Isles looked so much like Kate that Gibbs- quoted as saying, "I don't believe in coincidences"- thought they were related.
And he was right, because when I went to Boston the next weekend and ran a test on samples of the doc's and Kate's DNA, they were almost 100% identical. The result was confirmed by the birth certificates Detective Jane Rizzoli got from the hospital: Dr Isles and Kate had the same biological parents and were born on the same day, just twenty minutes apart- in other words, they were twin sisters, but they sadly never got to know each other 'cause they grew up in two different adoptive families.
I'd planned to already fly back to D.C. that evening, but my flight was cancelled, so I spent the night on Detective Rizzoli's couch. We talked a bit, I told her about Kate, and then we somehow got to the topic of boyfriends. Jane said there were basically two types of men: Some hated that she was a cop and the others wanted her to put those handcuffs to use. I asked if she'd ever considered dating a woman, which caused her to choke on her beer and in between coughs reply something along the lines of, "All the guys who think I'm gay, I can live without 'em going all, 'Ha, we knew it!', on me."
However two bottles of beer later, Jane reluctantly admitted that she had a crush on her (female) best friend. She didn't want to talk about it to said friend, though, 'cause she wasn't sure if the other woman was feeling the same way. I suggested they could watch The Lion King together. (My first boyfriend and I confessed our love to each other while watching that movie. The boy later turned out to be gay, but Jane didn't need to know that.)
The next morning, we- Team Gibbs, Jane, Dr Isles, and me- hit the road to D.C. and arrived there in the afternoon. Tony said he had a date and Gibbs probably went straight to his basement to work on his boat, but the rest of us went to visit Kate's grave.
I don't know what exactly happened in Boston that Sunday evening, but on Monday morning, Jane texted me that she and the doc had finally admitted their feelings for each other- while following my suggestion to watch The Lion King, which I rewarded myself for with an extra Caf-Pow (or two or three...).
Speaking of Caf-Pow, that's the reason why I'm not in my lab right now, but on my way back from the nearest supermarket. Usually Gibbs gives me my Caf-Pows when he comes down to my lab to ask me what I've found, but Team Gibbs is out at a crime scene and I immediately needed a dose of caffeine.
Passing by the cemetery, I notice two people walking towards the exit where I am. Since I'm squinting my eyes against the bright sunlight, I'm not 100% sure, but one of them looks a lot like Kate and assuming that Kate didn't suddenly rise from the dead, it's quite probably her twin sister, Dr Maura Isles from Boston. And the dark-haired one next to her could be Detective Jane Rizzoli... I decide to wait for them and say hi.
A/N: There'll be two or three more chapters for this, so it's not gonna be as long as 'Rizzoli & NCISles' (Sorry guys, I don't have much time to write at the moment).
