Chapter 3
Jethro stepped into the elevator, he was on his way to Autopsy. Once the elevator had gone down past Abby's lab it reached Autopsy. He exited the elevator and walked into the large room that is Autopsy. He walked over to Ducky who was performing an autopsy on the dead petty officer, with Mr. Palmer assisting of course.
"Anything for me Duck?" Jethro asked.
"Well the crack in the skull was quite severe I would say it was defiantely fatal. The killer used some kind of blunt object to smash it, I would estimate it took three or four blows before it rendered our young petty officer dead." Ducky replied showing Jethro the x-rays.
"Anything else Ducky?" Jethro asked.
"I sent some DNA from the skin abrasions up to Abby and I imagine she's told you who they came from by now?" Ducky said walking back to the autopsy table.
"Yes she did. She is also trying to work out what caused this crack in his skull. Do you have any suggestions?" Said Jethro.
"Like I said, it was a blunt object possibly a hammer or some other kind of tool. But I can only speculate, Abby will be able to give you a better idea I imagine. You know this reminds me of a case I had just after I graduated medical school, the patient was.."
"Ducky." Jethro said, cutting him off.
"Sorry Jethro. Right Mr. Palmer let's get him sewn up." Ducky said.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Jethro walked back to the elevator and went up to Abby's again, hoping she had found what caused the skull damage.
"Abby. Do you have something for me?" He asked, walking over to her.
"That I do." Abby replied.
"Well, you gonna tell me?" Gibbs asked.
"Gibbs you know I like a drum roll before I deliver the bombshell." Abby said, smiling at him.
Gibbs just looked at her. And she said, "Fine no drum roll. The damage to our victim's head was caused by the wooden end of a hammer."
"That's good Abby. Anything else?" Gibbs replied.
"Would I disappoint you like that Gibbs?" Abby asked, walking over to the Plasma where Gibbs was standing. "From the direction the hammer was held in I can also tell you that he was most likely standing when it hit his skull."
"Good work Abbs." Gibbs said, leaving to go back up to the squad room.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Gibbs walked out of the elevator and over to his desk. "DiNozzo, do we have an ID yet?" He asked.
"Yeah boss, our victim's name is Corporal Jeffery White, he was in the same unit as Brennen." Tony replied. "They had served together for three years including a tour in Iraq."
Gibbs went to walk away when Tony said, "Oh and boss you'll find this interesting, he was also in the same unit as Sergeant Benjamin Stuart."
This, Gibbs thought, was his way to get the Stuart case back from the FBI. But first he would pay a visit to Jenny. "Good work." he said walking up to Jenny's office.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Jethro walked into the director's office with a grin on his face, he loved it when this happened, when he had the opportunity to take a case back from the FBI.
"Jethro." Jenny said, slightly surprised to see her old partner.
"Jen." He replied.
"What can I do for you this time?" Jenny asked.
"Call the FBI and get our case back." Jethro answered.
"You know I can't do that Jethro." Jenny replied.
"You can now, we have a connection between a new case and that one. So get dialling." He said pointing at her phone.
"I knew you wouldn't let go that easily Jethro. You never were too good at that." She said.
"Really Jen?" He said.
"Before I do any dialling Jethro I'd like to know what you meant before, when you said you'd like to take me up on my offer, did you mean what I think you meant?" Jenny asked.
"I'm sure you know what I meant Jen." He said, walking closer to her.
"Is this your way of bribing me Jethro?" Jenny asked.
"It could be." He answered, "But I know you Jen, you're going to call the FBI and get my case back, you want it as much as I do."
Jenny just smiled back at him, she knew he was right. Their faces were now centimetres apart they were just starring at each other, both knew what was to happen next. But who would take the first step? Jethro decided it was his bribe, so it would be him. He broke the distance between them and pressed his mouth against Jenny's and began kissing her, she returned the gesture. Jethro could tell that she missed this from him and he was happy to give it to her, like she said earlier he never was too good at giving up on something.
Well? Please review :)
AN: I was just reading through this chapter and I found I had called the victim Jeffery White and it sounded familiar, then I realised that it was from the episode "Chained" so I'd just like to point out that there is no connection and it is a complete coincidene - despite what Gibbs says this one is a coincidence. Just thought I'd mention that.
