As they walked away, Danny let go of hold on his aura, and he heard Abby squeal again. He smirked to himself, and pulled it back in.
Gibbs noticed the squeal, and the smirk run quickly across Danny's face. He had to think of a way to get this kid away from everyone else so he could ask about it. They got into the elavator and rode down to the morgue to meet the medical examiner, Donald 'Ducky' Mallard.
Danny was a little worried about going into the morgue. Ghost liked to hang there until they realised they were dead, and left, to either the afterlife, the ghost zone, or to haunt whatever they felt like haunting. He would have to hide his ghost sense as best as he could. The moment they stepped into autopsy, Danny's ghost sense went off, and he thanked God he was behind everyone so they couldn't see. He also thanked God it would only go off once unless another ghost entered the room. Danny looked around quickly, and saw the ghost of a marine standing by his body.
Said body was on the autopsy table, being autopsied by an older man in a bowtie, and a younger man in srubs. Danny guessed the older man was Ducky, and the younger one was Jimmy Palmer. His uncle had told him about Palmer, and his way with words. He would have to talk to the Marine soon. He hoped he could go ghost first.
Ducky was talking animatedly to Palmer, who was smilely like an idiot, taking in every word. "You're too early Jethro. I do not know how the man died." Ducky said, not looking up.
"I was poisoned." The Marines ghost said. No one, but Danny, heard him though.
"I'm not here for that Ducky. We're here to introduce you to someone." Gibbs said.
Ducky looked up. "Who?" He asked.
"This is Danny. He's my half-sister's son." Tony said, pointing to Danny who was looking at the ghost. "Maybe we should talk elsewhere." Tpny said, thinking Danny was staring at the body instead.
"What, why?" Danny asked. "I don't mind the autopsy. I've seen one before." Danny said. He had showed a ghost the autopsy of his own body once, and had to sit through the whole thing before they ghost moved on.
"You have?" Ziva asked.
"Yeah." Danny said. "It's nice to meet you Dr. Mallard, Plamer." Danny said, calling Palmer what Tony did.
"It's nice to meet you too Daniel." Ducky said. For once, Danny didn't mind being called Daniel. He hated it when the social worker called him Daniel, and didn't like it when the fruit-loop called him Daniel, but he didn't mind Ducky calling him Daniel. "I didn't know You had a half-sister Tony."
"I've never met her before. And I'll never meet her either. Madison, her husband, and their daughter died about two weeks ago in an explosion." Tony said. He wondered how many times he wuld have to explain this. Danny wondered the same thing, though it didn't really bother him all that much.
"Oh. That's awful Daniel. I'm sorry to hear that." Ducky said. Palmer had yet to say a word, and no one seemed to mind.
"It's okay Dr. Mallard. I knwo they're in a better place. They wouldn't want me to feel sad." Danny said, smiling. He smiled a lot to cover things up. Most of the time it was fake, but he kind of liked the people at NCIS, do he didn't need to. He could fool anyone with his smile, he had done it before.
"You are such a good person." Palmer said. "Let's hope they aren't ghosts." He added
"Palmer." Ziva said. "Ghosts don't exist."
"I was just saying." Palmer said.
"But ghosts are real Ziva." Danny said. "My parents used to fight them. They were paranormal experts."
"If you say so Danny." Ziva said, still not believing him.
"I don't care if you believe me or not. " Danny said. The Marine's ghost looked at Danny, and Danny looked back, nodding a hello. The Marine straightened up, and nodded back.
"What are you nodding at?" Ziva asked. "Is there a ghost there?" Danny only smiled, and for some reason it made Ziva want to back away from him. Scarier thab Gibbs. How is that possible? She asked to herself.
"Anyway." Everyone looked at Tony. "I wanted you to meet him. I've already introduced him to Abby. She kind of freaked out."
"Why?" Palmer asked.
"She said soemthing scared her. She tried to ward off Danny. She made a cross with her hands. Danny thought it was funny." Tony said.
"It was funny. Abby is nice. I like her. She's a lot more chirper than Sam is." Danny said.
"Sam?" Ducky asked. "And also, you can call me Ducky. Everyone does."
"Okay Ducky. Sam is my girlfriend back in Amity park." Danny said. "She's a goth like Abby, but she's a lot more serious."
"That inseresting." Ducky said.
Danny's ghost sense went off, and he prayed no one noticed. he looked around, but saw no one. He asumed the ghost was hiding from everyone, even him. He hoped it would maybe help the other ghost find it's way to the ghost zone, or even move on. He listened as Ducky talked to Gibbs about the Marine on the table. He was found outside a bar, and he still didn't know how the man had died. Danny wondered if he should suggest they check his blood for poisons, but dicided not too, knowing they knew what they were doing. Danny looked around. The Marine's ghost was gone, and wondered why he would hide himself from Danny. Danny could tell he was there, and he could also feel the other ghost. Something about the ghost seemed familier, and Danny wondered where he had felt the presence before.
All of a sudden, everyone felt a suddenly felt very cold, but brushed it off as just them being in the morgue. Danny knew better, and looked around again. The Marine's ghost appeared out of nowhere, and yelled "HELP ME!" At the top of his lungs.
