Chapter IV. (While Rose is on the phone)
Ziva walked over to Rose's desk and picked up the letter she had left.
"Hmm, let's see…'I finally found you'? What is that supposed to mean?" Ziva asked.
"Maybe she went on a long term vacation?" Tony suggested.
"Be reasonable, Tony." Tim said.
"No! I'm actually serious! I mean, think about it…they could be lovers or something and then he acted like a chauvinistic bastard so she ran away," Tony retorted, "Yes, that must be the reason! I am a G-E-N-I-U-S."
Ziva rolled her eyes, "I doubt it, Tony, especially if he gave her his phone number, and thought of her as a little sister."
Tony was about to reply when Gibbs cleared his throat, "Are we done talking about stupid theories?"
Tony started to protest again, but then Abby cut him off, "Yeah, like who is the Doctor, and who or what Torchwood is." While the rest of the team was trading ideas, Ducky was deep in thought. (Ducky's thoughts) The Doctor…why does that ring a bell? And Torchwood? A few years ago when I was visiting Canary Wharf, there was a dead/missing list. Wasn't there a group named Tylers on the list? Maybe they are related to her…I should do some research and possibly ask Rose later, after this of course. But the question is, should I tell the team? I mean Rose probably wouldn't appreciate it-"
"Hey Duck, something on your mind?" Gibbs interrupted Ducky's thoughts.
"Nothing, Jethro, just trying to figure out the letter." Ducky responded quite hastily. Gibbs gave Ducky a sceptical glance, but returned his attention back to the conversation.
"So who is Ian-to? Is it a boy or a girl?" Tim asked.
"Ianto is a Welsh name, pronounced Yan-toh, and is most likely a boy." Ducky responded. Everyone looked at him, with curiosity. "Sorry, force of habit. I travelled to a lot of places in Europe, and that was a popular Welsh name when I visited there."
"What about the Doctor? Is that derived from a certain place?" Ziva asked.
"The Doctor…I don't know. Doctors are common, like I am, for example, a Doctor. Doctors are all over the world."
Gibbs thought for a moment, it seemed like Ducky was hiding something that he didn't want the rest of the team to know. He noticed that Ducky didn't respond to eye contact as well, and spoke rather quickly, and spoke with a deeper Scottish accent. Gibbs narrowed his eyes and suggested, "Well, why don't we do a search on 'The Doctor' and see what are results are?" Everyone was about to agree and get going when Rose walked in, with a huge smile on her face.
(A/N: Sorry about the wait. I am currently working on another story right now, but I will probably update this later today also.)
