A/N: I apologize for being absent for so long. So much has been happening that I found it hard to fit in the time. BUT I'm back with another chapter. Please Read and leave a small message of opinion at the end.
Reid felt himself go numb as they walked into Autopsy. McGee who was still a little squeamish in the room gave him a sympathetic look. Doctor Donald "Ducky" Mallard, Chief Medical Examiner was busy with an Autopsy on another body from a different case.
"Ah, Timothy. What brings you down here? No doubt Jethro has you running around. Who's your young friend?" Ducky said looking up. His assistant, Jimmy Palmer also looked up. He waved hello before busying himself again with the body.
"Ducky this is Doctor Reid. Reid this is Doctor Mallard, and that's his assistant Jimmy Palmer. " McGee said introducing them. Reid gave a small wave.
"Pleasure to meet you Doctor Mallard." He said.
"Oh, call me Ducky. Aren't you a bit young to be a doctor?" he said.
"I work with the Behavioral Analysis Unit in Quantico." Reid answered.
"Genius?" Ducky asked.
Reid nodded his head.
"Yes geniuses aren't as recognized as they used to be. Some recognized names of geniuses are, Isaac Newton, Leonardo da Vinci although he was also a polymath. In today's society however they aren't as recognized. Pity though." Ducky started to explain as he went back to working on the body.
"Ducky Gibbs needs you to go over every little detail of the murdered women, please." McGee interrupted.
"I'm guessing his famous gut is at work. I'll get on it as soon as I've finished her. Mr. Palmer. Can you please get those files out?"
"Sure thing Doctor Mallard." Palmer said before taking off the protective gear worn during an autopsy. He rummaged through a few files before placing a stack of them onto Ducky's small steel desk.
"All done Doctor Mallard." He called out.
"Thank you Mr. Palmer." Ducky answered grunting as he struggled to cut out an organ.
Reid felt his stomach contract as nausea welled up inside his own body. McGee, sensing his discomfort –he'd had a previous experience not long before – bade them goodbye and continued on their way.
