The Mummy and His Money - Chapter 3 - Meet Lieutenant Mark Schilz

Back at the Navy yard they all met in the garage. Abby was excited…the thought of seeing a mummy up close and personal was exciting. Not that she hadn't see mummies before, she had; on school trips and stuff like that, just not this close up.

She grabbed her face mask, protective face guard and electric saw and set to work. The team watched as she moved around the pod. "Almost done." she exclaimed as she switched off her saw.

Gibbs put his gloves on ready, "Find any besides the hunter's?"

"I pulled a few partials from the inside of the hatch that weren't his."

"The victim's?" Tony asked the Goth as he looked away from the laptop screen.

"I doubt it. Mummies aren't generally the self-help type."

"Run the prints through the military database."

"Sure. Oh, and there's a serial number on the underside of the tank. The paints worn off a little but I can bring it up."

Gibbs nodded. "Good. If the tank came off a Tomcat, somebody would have filed a TFOA report." Abby continued to cut her way through the pod.

"TFOA?" Caitlin hadn't heard that abbreviation before. She looked at her husband who looked at Tony, who clarified "Things falling off aircraft."

"Seriously?"

"Uhuh, that's what they're called." Caitlin smiled and shook her head at how stupid it sounded.

"Squadrons have kept files on those, going back to biplanes." Gibbs stated to no-one in particular.

"Ok guy's and girl. All done."

DiNozzo and Gibbs stood at either end of the pod, "One, two, three lift." They picked up the top of the pod and places it on the ground. 'Boy that was heavy' Tony thought to himself.

"Sailor on a half-shell." Abby said excitedly.

"Abigail, please."

"Sorry, Duck-man." They all stood around the now open pod. Caitlin grabbed the camera and started taking more pictures. Jethro loved how his wife had taken to this job so well. She still had things to learn but she was learning and learning quick.

"Well, it isn't unlike the Egyptians, however. They buried their mummified dead along with personal treasures, to accompany them on their journey to the afterlife."

Gibbs pulled out his flash light once again. He focused it on the golf club that Ducky was holding. Caitlin focused on the lieutenant's feet, "He isn't wearing any shoes."

DiNozzo saw this as his chance to say something…profound, "Well, Kate I kick mine off when I fly." she smirked at his comment, then resumed taking pictures.

Jethro reached into the 'casket' with his knife and looked around the mummy's neck. 'Aha' he said to himself, "Got some tags." he pulled them up from under the lieutenant's shirt, Abby read the writing engraved on it, "Lieutenant Mark Schilz."

"Well he isn't a golfer," Kate said looking at the golfers bag, "The bag belongs to a Lieutenant Lynch."

"A gold wedding band." Ducky lifted the mummy's arm, "Our Lieutenant left someone behind."

Caitlin took some more pictures of the mummy.

"Alright, we got a name, a serial number, TFOA report'll find the plane and squadron."

"And we'll be able to crack the secret of the mummy's curse in no time at all!" They all looked at her. Ducky sighed, "Abigail."

"What?"she asked innocently.

"Let's get to work." Gibbs ordered.

They all set to work, Ducky took the mummy to autopsy, Abby took the evidence to her lab for processing, Tony, Gibbs and Kate made their way to the elevator. "Tony, you go ahead up. Kate and I'll be up in a minute."

Tony looked between the two, "Everything okay?"

Gibbs said nothing, just looked at his senior agent. Tony took his boss' silence as 'shut up and go', so he did.

When the elevator returned they stepped in, Gibbs immediately pressed the emergency switch.

"What's on your mind?" Caitlin asked.

He smiled at her, "You are." he moved closer to her and placed his arms around her waist, brining her closer to him. She placed her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. "I'm alright."

"I don't want you to overdo it that's all."

"Jethro, I'm fine. Okay? I'll tell you if I'm not felling well. And I'm not going to overdo anything."

"Okay." he kissed her lips gently, "I love you."

"I love you, too." she gave him a hug. "Shall we get back to work?"

He smirked his signature smirk and flipped the switch back on. Both joined Tony and set to work.

A/N2: I'm not really a fan of this episode but I'm having fun writing my fanfic of it.
