NCIS Lab

Abby walked into her lab, as is usual for her morning routine, looked around to see if everything was there. Everything seemed in order. She walked over to the computer and pulled up the assignment that Gibbs had given her the day before. She checked her inbox and found a message from an unknown person. Before she opens the message, she reaches for the phone and calls Tony.

"Hello, Abby, got anything on the case?" Tony answered.

"Well….Not really I called for a different reason, I have an email in my inbox that is from an unknown person. I haven't tried a trace yet. What should I do Tony?" She asked him.

"I think you should try the trace. I'll call Gibbs and see what he says but whatever you do, do not open the email. You hear me DO NOT OPEN THE EMAIL." Tony yelled at her.

Ziva looked at Tony and said "Do you really need the phone? I think she can hear you in the lab."

Tony hung up the phone "Ha ha Ziva, very funny." Tony picked up the phone and called Gibbs. Meanwhile down in the lab Abby ran the trace on the email but came up with the email originating from her computer. She was confused but she ignored the email and started processing the evidence. As she was going through the list and matching up the evidence with the tag she noticed that a the bullet that killed Petty Officer Jeremy was missing. Immediately she called Ducky

"Hello, this is Dr. Mallard." Ducky answered.

"Ducky, its Abby, are you sure you sent me all the evidence for Petty Officer Jeremy?"

"Yes, I had Palmer take it up that is everything our officer had on him and the bullet that killed him. Why do you ask?"

"Because the bullet is missing from the evidence….oh my god I think someone broke into the lab. First the email originating from my computer and the missing evidence. Someone is trying to get us off their tails. Hmm I wonder-"

Ducky interrupted her "Abby, slow down. What email, and there is evidence missing?"

"Yes, the bullet is missing and this morning I found an email in my inbox, that when I ran a trace on it the results told me I sent it to myself, but the time doesn't match up. The time received said it was sent at around 5 this morning but I didn't get into the lab till 7."

"Hmm, have you call Anthony yet?"

"Yes he was the first person I called and he told me not to open it."

"Good idea. How about I send Palmer up to keep you company."

"Thanks but no thanks Ziva said she would come down- Gibbs is here so I better talk to him."

" Yes do that. Call me when you have an answer."

Abby hung up the phone and turned to Gibbs. She pulled up the inbox, and showed him the message, still unopened. " This is what I got this morning"

"Open it" The silver haired man answered. Abby opened it. The message read as:

Abigail,

I know your wondering how this got here, first you will try a trace, then dust the keyboard for fingerprints, and finally call the team. You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. Don't come looking for me or I'll have to take a dangerous step. Good luck in finding what's missing.

"What does this mean Gibbs? I have a stalker?" The Goth asked.

"I don't know, Abs we will have to wait and find out." Gibbs replyed
