"Boss! Gibbs! We got a call."
"Where, McGee?"
"Montgomery, small town past Norfolk. Some local LEO's found a woman, they think she's a Naval Officer."
"Call Ducky…Grab your gear! Tobias, we'll continue this later."
"Of course."

"Ms. Scuito?"
"Fornell! What brings you to the Navy yard?"
"An FBI agent was found by DiNozzo. Before I could get too far into it, they got called off on another case. I thought I'd take the time to see where you are with the undercover assignment."
"Well, not too much further. I really haven't been approached by that many guys…or girls."
"No one has tried to contact you more…intimately?"
Abby turned abruptly so Fornell couldn't see the obvious blush that crept over her face.
"Nope, uh huh. Just an email or two."
"Damn, I was hoping to get this wrapped up quickly. Well, keep me informed."
"Aye, aye!"
Abby watched as Agent Fornell stalked out of her lab, sighing in relief from not being caught. On one hand she did feel somewhat guilty, the Director had given her an important case and instead of concentrating on it she was thinking about a certain silver-haired fox. She took a few calming breaths and decided that she would do her best at the assignment…after all, isn't that what Gibbs would do?

"What'a we got, Duck?"
"Jethro, as I have said many times, I may be good, but I am not that good. We just only arrived!"
"Well, let me know--"
"Yes, yes, when I have something."
"McGee!"
"Boss?"
"I want this area sealed off within a five mile radius. Tony's already started sketching, help him and Ziva take statements and collect evidence."
"Right, on it."
"Jethro!"
"Yeah, Duck?"
"It seems our Naval Officer was a Lieutenant. She's been badly beaten and I'm afraid to say, raped. But of course, Mr. Palmer and I will--"
"Know more once you get her back, I know…she looks…"
"Awful, I know. Poor girl. It's hard to say what she's had to endure."
