"We think he was the marine that was murdered." Ziva said.
"No, it wasn't." Jenny said confused.
"We are performing an autopsy now, if we-" Tony said as he was cut off.
"No, you don't understand," Jenny said,"My brother called this morning too."
Chapter 3
All three looked at each other in disbelief.
"Do you know where he is?" Gibbs asked urgently.
"Yea," she said writing down an address, "Here."
"Thanks." Dinozzo said.
"He didn't do it. I know hes a good person. He couldn't hurt a fly." Jenny said.
"We'll be the judge of that." Gibbs said heading out the door.
(Back at NCIS headquarters)
McGee was at his desk. waiting for the rest of the team when Abby meandered upstairs.
"Is Gibbs back yet?" She asked.
"Nope, I haven't heard from him." McGee said not looking Abby in the eye.
McGee felt awkward around her since he asked her if she loved him. He hoped it didn't ruin their friendship.
"You know, I'm flatered." Abby said blushing.
"Huh...?" McGee asked confused.
"I'm flattered that you'd ask." Abby responded awkwardly.
"Oh...That." McGee said.
"I've been thinking about it and- Gibbs!" Abby said.
"Abs...What did you find?"
"There were two sets of DNA on the knife. One of our victim, which Duckie should be identifying as we speak, and one of our killer."
"How do you know it's the killer's DNA." Tony asked.
"Well for now it's speculation, but since the knife was dumped at the site, and i can't find a trace of any other substance on the knife, I'd say that the other set has to be that of the killer, and whoever it is has a nasty cut."
"Good job Abs, Keep it up." Gibbs said leaving. "I'm going to talk to Duckie. Tony, McGee find Robert Stallings."
(Gibbs and Duckie...Palmer is on vacation)
"Whatcha got, Duckie?" Gibbs asked.
"Well we identified the body as Peter Galveston, but that's not all." Duckie said.
"What do you mean?" Gibbs asked.t
"Well after further analysis, we found that he had slight traces of canid DNA." Duckie responded.
"Like a dog?" Gibbs asked.
"Like a wolf." Duckie said.
"So, our marine had wolf DNA, what does that mean?" Gibbs asked
"Well old stories of werewolves are where my mind went first. A man who is cursed to live out his days as both man and wolf, changing only under the full moon." Duckie said.
"Well at least it can't get any weirder." Gibbs said.
"Oh, but it can," Duckie stated, "after the autopsy, we found that the cuts bruises and stab wound were all created after our victim died."
"Then how did he die?" Gibbs asked.
"Well we performed a tox screen on him and we found something we haven't really seen before." Duckie said.
"What?" Gibbs asked
"On his neck right here, there was a small puncture wound. Almost invisable to the naked eye," Duckie said holding a magnifying glass, "a needle, or syringe mark."
"So what did you find?"
"He had very high levels of Aconitum lycoctonum. It's an extract used commonly to freshen floral arrangements, and can be bought at many craft stores." Duckie stated.
"What exactly is it." Gibbs asked.
"Wolfsbane." Duckie responded.
"Oh, Abby is gonna love this one."
