A/N - Sorry the update took so long.

He didn't know it, but Leroy Jethro Gibbs was under constant surveillance from the moment that package had landed on his desk. When he stepped out for coffee, he was followed. As he stood in line in the coffee shop, waiting for his turn to order, he could feel a pair of eyes burning into the back of his head. Covertly, he scanned the patrons in the coffee shop, looking for something that stood out. No one did.

When it was his turn, he approached the counter. "I'll take a large coffee. Black."

As he waited for his coffee, he scanned the room once more. He locked eyes with an attractive woman standing in line for her coffee. The woman blushed and looked away shyly. Her dark hair curtained her pretty face, making her green eyes stand out. The woman didn't look at Gibbs again as she took her coffee and left.

Gibbs thought nothing of her, as he took his coffee and returned to NCIS.

"What are we even investigating here? An old locket? I don't understand why we're even wasting our time on this," McGee complained as he stood in Abby's lab with DiNozzo, Bishop, and Abby. The music was louder than usual.

"Someone sent out the Gibbs signal. He's like Batman. He has to help," DiNozzo explained.

"I think there's definitely a case behind this locket," Bishop countered. Abby's fingers were dancing over the keyboard, excitedly pressing the keys.

"Bishop's right, guys. There are traces of blood on this locket," Abby explained. She was dressed as she usually was, in all black. "And I found a sketchy finger print on the letter. Hopefully I can trace it back to whoever wrote it."

Suddenly, a sharp beeping sound silenced the room. Everyone checked their phones.

"Boss wants an update. Let's go," DiNozzo announced. The three turned and stepped onto the elevator.

"I'll call Gibbs as soon as I've got something!" Abby shouted after them.

Gibbs sat behind his desk as he watched his team enter the bullpen. "Well," he said. "What do ya got?"

McGee spoke first. "Boss, I did a search on Bandera. The USS Bandera was an attack transport of the US Navy. It was used during World War II, and was decommissioned in 1946. I assumed that the grandfather mentioned in the letter served in the Navy. So I did a search on all seamen who served on the Bandera during it's time and came up with two seamen who both served on the Bandera in 1945 and later died in 1969."

"Good work, McGee," Gibbs said. "What are the names?"

"Well, Boss, I already narrowed it down to one. One of the men died in a car crash, and the other died from a gunshot wound. So I think it was pretty obvious who our victim is. His name was James Everett Montgomery. He died from a single gunshot wound to the back of the head."

"DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked, expecting a detailed report.

"Uh Abby found traces of blood on the locket, and a slight fingerprint on the letter. She's still working on it," Tony explained.

"Bishop, I want a full background on James Montgomery. Now. DiNozzo, go back and help Abby. I need that fingerprint identified. McGee, find out where Montgomery was buried, and then get the body to Ducky."

The team got to work, and Gibbs leaned back in his chair. His mind was racing. Who sent him the Locket, and why?
