Chapter 3: Poisoned, or Not?
Jimmy lowered the phone. What just happened? Had the phone disconnected? No, the timing was too precise for that.
He redialled the number, getting only ringing. Frustrated, he hung up the phone and wandered around his small apartment.

Ducky pulled the gloves off his hands. "We have to find him."
Gibbs nodded. "Try his phone?"
"He doesn't carry a cell phone, but I will try his home," Ducky answered, walking over to the phone. He quickly dialled the familiar number.
--
Jimmy jumped when he heard the phone. He walked over and glanced at the caller ID. Dr Mallard. Jimmy sighed, picking it up, "Yes Doctor?"
Ducky released the breath he hadn't realized he was holding, "We were wondering where you got to, my boy."
"I'm sorry Doctor, I'll come back in, if you need me to," Jimmy said, silently hoping that he didn't.
--
Ducky looked at Gibbs with a silent question. Gibbs nodded. "Agent Gibbs needs to speak with you."
Jimmy sighed, "I'm on my way." He hung up.
Ducky furrowed his brow, "He's never hung up on me before."
"Maybe he thought you were finished?" Gibbs suggested.
"You misunderstand me Jethro," Ducky said quietly, "He always waits for me to hang up."

Jimmy walked into the building, grumbling slightly. He entered the elevator, and caught himself trying to push the button for Autopsy. He moved his finger over to the correct button, and pushed, after taking a deep breath.
The elevator stopped at the next floor. Jimmy looked up, surprised. Abby walked in. "Hey Jimmy!" She said cheerfully. She saw his expression, "Jimmy? What's wrong?"
Jimmy thought about not telling her, but she was his friend, "The girl from the high school," He started.
"The one with Ducky? Speaking of that, why aren't you with Ducky?"
Jimmy looked down, "Her name is…was Tonya Palmer, and she's my baby sister."
Abby's smile fell, "Oh, Jimmy," She pulled him into a tight hug.
Jimmy hugged her back, happy for the contact.
The door opened, and they broke apart, "I'll see you later Abby."
"Bye Jimmy," Abby said quietly. The doors shut again, and she exited at her lab. Turning to her babies, she said, "Alright guys, we need to find out what happened to Jimmy's sister, pronto."
At that moment, a beep sounded. Abby looked over to the screen. "Nice guys!" She said, walking over to identify the poison. "Or, not poison."
A/N: Ok, that was my attempt at more description. I think I'm going to leave this story here for now, and work on finishing A Chance Encounter, which only has a few chapters left. Let me know what you think! Thanks to Oxymoronic Alliteration for the suggestion!
