Kate turned to Gibbs and said, "are you going to question our C/O about Smith?"

Gibbs replied, "Yeh we're going there now."

She looked at Mac then said,"There's no point."

Gibbs said, "why."

she and Mac both replied, "tactical exercise weekend with no contact, you won't be able to get hold of her she will be the only one with a phone, and it will be turned off, you will need to wait till Monday."

He just rolled his eyes and said "fine we will go Monday."

She replied "can I go get her to bring her in, she won't talk on base and can I take Mac with me" her and Mac looked at each other and smirked,

He rolled his eyes and said, "yeah ok".

They were about to leave when Kate said "wait, guys" they turned around, and she continued "everyone come to ours tonight at 19:00 ill ask Abby, Ducky and Palmer, also Mac you can bring flyboy also invite Harriet and Bud. We can have a night of fun, and both sides can meet the other and get to know them."

Gibbs said "ok".

with that Kate said "give me five minutes" she kissed AJ and said "I will see you later I love you," with that she popped in to seeing Lilly who was in an induced coma to help her heal from her op and said, "Lilly we will investigate this fully, keep safe marine".

With that, she went and caught up with Gibbs, Tony and McGee and got in the car with McGee while Tony went with Gibbs back to headquarters.

Once they were back at their desk's Kate said "the hostage is a Lilly Smith 32 originally from LA, we both met in law school where we both did the first year and then dropped out and joined the Marines. This is where she met Edward Smith 35 they married two years into their relationship during our third year. We were both made sergeant as Edward made gunnery sergeant, he had been in two years before us, eighteen months into their marriage she left. He had forced her to, but he didn't know she was kept on reserves and made a deal with our C/O that if she needed to, she would be deployed on the next flight out to protect her as he was violent. She couldn't leave him as her family didn't agree with her marrying him, asked her to choose between them and him, she chooses him as he was nice to her at the time, he was also emotionally abusive. She took a few deep breaths; she was deployed three times for seven months each time, in the following six years I was in all because he beat her, she always went back at the end of the tour. He seemed to settle down in the last three and half years, until today, also I know it is to do with the Violence, that he went back down to the rank of Private".

They worked in silence for a while till McGee said: "Kate was he schizophrenic?"

Kate looked up and said, "No he was still in the marines he had been home for three weeks."

McGee said, "Kate he has been buying medication for it for the last fifteen years."

Kate said, "The bastard he knew he was but rather than getting help, he brought them offline and diagnosed himself so he could stay in the marines, no wonder she would always say it wasn't him and he acted completely different it must be when he's off his medication."

She took a few deep breaths and said "I will go tell ducky to see if he can find out when he last took them", with that she went down to autopsy.

Ducky looked up and said, "Caitlyn what can I do for you, my dear."

Kate replied, "Could you find out for us the last time he took his medications for schizophrenia please."

Ducky said, "Why dear, he doesn't have schizophrenia; he's still in the marines."

She replied "he is, he self-diagnosed and has been buying them privately off the internet for fifteen years",

Ducky replied "ok dear I will get that done and up to Abby" she replied "thanks, Ducky oh we're having a get together at mine tonight you and Palmer are invited be there for 19:00, it will be an introduction of my team and AJ's team to each other and for you lot to get to know my husband"

He replied, "thank you, my dear, I will come; Mr Palmer is up in Abby's lab so I will tell him when he comes down."

She replied, "No worry's Ducky I am going there now so ill tell him and send him back down, bye Ducky."

He replied "bye Caitlyn".

She then went up to Abby's lab and invited her and Palmer, they then continued to work till 17:30 where they all went home, Kate got the living room ready she also brought snacks, alcohol and stuff to make shots so that they could play games.
