A/N: Hi world! Wow, I can't believe I'm finally doing this! Ok, I have to say BIG thanks to Kristen (tivaentirelyatyourmercy), Vi (WritingFromTheSoul) and Mel (Smelly The Pirate) for all the encouragement and support. This is my first ever fanfic, so give me good, honest advice and view it with an open mind! It will be the first of a series I'm gonna do called Best Of Both Worlds.

Abby had barely set foot in her lab when she heard her phone ringing. She rushed to answer it, not bothering to take off her coat. "Abby Scuito, Forensics?" she asked, setting her Caf-Pow! down on the desk. "Got some evidence for ya, Abs," Gibbs' familiar voice flowed down the phone. Abby grinned. "Gibbs, how did you know I was in yet? It's only just gone 7!" Gibbs chuckled. "McGee's on his way, He'll fill you in." He hung up as the elevator pinged and the doors opened. McGee entered the lab carrying an evidence box and a Caf-Pow!. "Hey Abby!" He said, dropping the box on the table and greeting his favourite Goth with a hug. Abby grinned and accepted the Caf-Pow!. "Thanks, Timmy; I've almost finished this one!" Abby took off her coat as McGee began sorting through the evidence box. "So what's the case?" Abby asked, now dressed in her lab coat and gloves. "Dead Marine found buried beneath a tree not far from here," Tim explained. "Need an ID and age...and Ducky's gonna call you about the time of death. Our victim has multiple defence wounds and it looks like he was shot at close range." Abby nodded and picked up a shirt from the box. "Are you staying to help, or does Gibbs need you?" McGee shrugged. "I guess I can help." Abby smiled and handed him a pair of gloves. They soon had all the evidence laid out on the table and were beginning to process it when Abby's phone rang again. "Abby Scuito, Forensics! Oh hi Ducky!" Abby answered cheerfully. "Are you coming to visit me?" McGee stared at Abby's back, waiting for the phone call to end. "Oh, OK then...not yet, but I will do soon. Thanks Ducky!" Abby hung up and turned back to McGee. "OK, Ducky says that the time of death was around 2am this morning." Tim nodded. "Got a hair on the shirt," he said, picking it up with tweezers and examining it closely. "Could be our killer's!" Abby took it and ran it through her computer. They got no match until Ducky sent up the skin tissue from the victim. Gibbs walked in and Abby's computer pinged. "Got a match!" Abby cried, not realising that Gibbs was behind her. "Quick, McGee, go fetch Gibbs!" McGee spun around to see his boss, Caf-Pow! in hand. "Already here, Abs," he said quietly, walking up behind her. "What've ya got for me?" Abby smiled and clicked the computer mouse, bringing the ID up on the big screen. "OK, so I ran the DNA that Ducky generously provided me with, and I got a match. His name's Petty Officer Robert Dunmore, on leave since last week. He's got a wife and two kids, and has just celebrated his 25th birthday," Abby said quickly. McGee followed Gibbs around to the plasma screen and frowned at the picture. "Good work, Abs...McGee, got anything for me?" Gibbs asked, staring at McGee. McGee swallowed and started typing on the computer. "Er, doing a background check on Petty Officer Dunmore now Boss. Also found a hair on Dunmore's shirt, no matches yet." Gibbs nodded and placed another Caf-Pow! in Abby's hand. She smiled and threw away her old one. "I want to know who that hair belongs to, McGee!" Gibbs yelled as he walked into the lift. "Yes, Boss!" McGee called after him.
