MATILDA'S HOUSE
"Why are we here boss?" Asked McGee.
"McGee" hissed Ziva.
"What?" he questioned. "I'm only asking the question you were thinking and Tony's too afraid to ask"
"Hey!" Tony responded.
"Matilda's father was murdered" answered Gibbs.
"So why aren't the local feds handling it" asked Tony.
"They did handle it" replied Matilda. "But they cocked it up. They said dad committed suicide; they interviewed no one and didn't do an autopsy. My dad would never commit suicide" she told them.
"I'm going to freshen up" Gibbs told them. "When I'm done, we will head to the NCIS base in Sydney"
"So what's the story with Gibbs" asked Tony when he knew Gibbs was well out of hearing range.
"Story?" asked Matilda.
"Yeah...Uncle Jethro. We know he's an only child."
"Dad worked with Gibbs and Mike Franks. Dad was an agent from Australia working in the US. Dad and Gibbs became solid mates; dad was Gibbs' best man at his wedding to... Dianne. Dad meant my mum in the US, they married and 4yrs later moved back to Australia to raise me. Mum died when I was little...breast cancer. Dad wanted no one else but Gibbs to be my god father. Dad even named me after Kelly... Matilda Kelly Potts."
Tony nodded in understanding.
"Let's go" came Gibbs voice.
"You know how to get there right?" asked Matilda a little worried.
Gibbs flashed her a piece of paper.
"And remember we drive on the left hand side of the road" she called out after them.
NCIS SYDNEY
Gibbs and his team entered the building and was greeted by Special Agent Alex Cartwright "Ahhh....Special Agent Gibbs, welcome to Australia"
"Special Agent Cartwright" Gibbs acknowledged as he have a small nod of his head towards the other man "id like to see Greg Potts' body and also the report" Gibbs continued not missing a beat.
"So down to business then" which earnt Cartwright a Gibbs stare.
"Down to business it is then" concluded Cartwright as Gibbs nodded.
AUTOPSY:
"Athletic looking man" stated Ducky.
"Yes, Agent Potts was very sporty; everything from touch footy right through to surfing" said ME Shelia Collins walking over to the men.
"Why wasn't an autopsy done Dr...." asked Gibbs
"Collins. No autopsy as he died of a bullet wound, blind Freddy could see that. It was suicide" answered Shelia.
"Not according to his daughter" Gibbs responded gruffly. "This is Dr. Mallard and his assistant Mr. Palmer they will be doing an autopsy. You can watch if you want" and with that Gibbs left the room.
"Is he always that straightforward" Shelia asked.
"Yes" responded Palmer a little too quickly which earnt him a glare from Ducky. "Err...Ahhh...Um... what I meant to say Dr. was..."
"Agent Cartwright, the report on Greg Potts death. Where can I find it?" asked Gibbs.
"There isn't one" Cartwright answered, which caused another glare head his way.
"Not the answer he wanted" whispered Tony.
"Why not?" asked Gibbs angrily.
"We didn't think it was necessary"
"Ziva, McGee" Gibbs barked. "Agent Cartwright is going to take you both to where Agent Potts' body was found. Find something"
"What about me boss" asked Tony.
"Interview any witnesses with the help of Agent Clancy"
"This is where we found Special Agent Potts' body. His car was 200 meters behind us" Agent Cartwright told McGee and Ziva.
"Where is his car now?" asked Ziva.
"Back at the office, impounded"
"Nice view" stated McGee as he looked out over the cliffs and the ocean.
"They call it The Gap" offered Cartwright. "It's where jumpers come"
"Jumpers" asked a confused Ziva. "I do not understand"
"Jumpers. People who commit suicide come here, they go over the safety rail, walk to the edge and jump" Cartwright further explained.
"Oh"
McGee began to take photos and climbed over the safety rail. Ziva followed. "I doubt you will find much. It happened four days ago. Do you know how many jumpers would have been here since then?" questioned Cartwright.
AN: I'm sorry if this offended anyone, if anyone reading this has known a person commit suicide I'm very sorry. Please get them the help that they need, there are people who will listen. Even if it's you that they can talk to.
