Chapter 4

"Hey Ducky what have you got," asked Gibbs.

"Well the victim was...," Ducky started to say but once he saw me he stopped, "Kate?!"

"Hello Mr. Mallard. No I'm not Kate," I said

"Ducky, this is Detective Jessica Todd and her partner Detective Daniel Moretti," said Gibbs.

"You can call me Ducky, Miss Todd," said Ducky.

"Thank you Ducky, you can call me Jessica or Jess," I said.

"Good, well since all the new introductions have been given I guess you wanna hear about the victim?"

"Yea," said Gibbs

"The victim was tortured from about a week before she was murdered until she died. No food in her stomach contents so I'm guessing he only gave her water. She had been raped, and torture Gibbs. She was strangled, which knocked her unconscious and then killed at her house."

"Just like the others, damn it," I said.

"Others? How many others?"

"Five."

"Can I see the autopsy files?"

Sure I'll get someone to bring them from upstairs."

"McGee go get the files and Moretti go with him," ordered Gibbs.

"Yes boss," replied McGee and then he left with Moretti.

"I gave Abby some DNA evidence and some other things you know she'll enjoy. You should go see Abby about that," said Ducky.

"I will but first what's the COD?" asked Gibbs

"I thought that was obvious boss," said Tony and in response to that Gibbs slaps him on the back of the head.

"Well you shouldn't go for the obvious Tony, it can deceive you," I said

"That's correct my dear but this time the obvious is what killed her: a GSW to the chest, heart to be more specific, after she was shot in the back. Also she was killed last night in between 2100 and 0030 if that helps any," said Ducky.

"Thanks Duck any more info...," Gibbs started to say but then Ducky interrupted him.

"I know call you."
