After Charity had sent Burley with Senior, she walked over to the car. "Okay bag and tag anything and everything. Then get the car ready to take back to Abby." Charity ordered. "McGee, make sure you help Officer David."

"Got it boss." McGee said.

Charity stood and oversaw as they worked. She had the feeling that once the director found out, she would bench Charity from the investigation, so for now she would do what she could. She specifically watched Ziva. She's a trained assassin, not an investigator. Charity thought.

Once Charity was satusfied and the tow truck arrived, she made McGee and Ziva finish it up and them ride in the tow truck. Charity drove back in the car. When she arrived, she found Burley sitting at his desk. "You're supposed to be with the suspect." Charity said.

"I've got a guard with him." Burley replied. "Whose gonna interrogate him?"

"You are." Charity answered. "Take Officer David with you." Then she turned to Ziva. "I want you to mostly observe."

"Got it." ZIva replied.

"What are you two waiting for? Get up there." Charity ordered.

Burley and Ziva headed for the conference room. "Charity seems very agitated." Ziva observed.

"You would be too, if your number one suspect was your boyfriend's father." Burley replied.

"What?" Ziva asked.

"Our suspect is Anthony DiNozzo Sr, father of Metro Detective Anthony DiNozzo Jr." Burley answered. "Charity's boyfriend."

"I see." Ziva observed. "This is a slimy situation."

"Sticky situation." Burley corrected. Then he opened the door to the conference room. "Ladies first."

Ziva walked in and Burley came in behind her. They both sat down across from Senior. "Hello Mr. DiNozzo." Burley greeted. "I'm Special Agent Burley and this is Officer David."

"Another beautiful woman." Senior said, flashing Ziva a smile.

Ziva gave him a small smile.

"Mr. DiNozzo, did you know the man that was in the trunk of your rented Rolls?" Burley asked, sitting a photo of the man on the desk in front of him.

Senior took the photo and looked at it. "That's Ryan Langer." He answered.

"Petty Officer Ryan Langer." Burley corrected. "Can you tell me what happened last night?"

"I..uhm...I don't remember." Senior answered. "I must have had a little too much to drink last night. But I know I didn't kill him."

"That's all we need for now." Burley said. Then he stood up and Ziva did as well. They left the room and the guard walked back in.

When they reached the squadroom, Charity looked up at them. "So, what did you find?" She asked.

"He knows our Petty Officer, but doesn't remember what happened last night." Burley answered.

"Find out everything you can about him." Charity said. "McGee is working on our victim's back ground." Charity stood up. "Ziva, you're with me."

"Where are we going?" Ziva asked.

"Autopsy to speak with Ducky." Charity answered.

Once the two women were gone, McGee looked over at Burley. "What's going on with the boss?" He asked. "She still hasn't told me the name of the suspect."

Burley grinned slightly. "The suspect is Anthony DiNozzo Sr."

"Anthony DiNozzo Sr?" McGee asked. "Did I just hear you right?"

"Oh yes, you heard me right." Burley answered.

"He's Detective DiNozzo's dad?"

"Yup."

"This is very awkward for her, isn't it?" McGee asked.

Burley nodded.

"You're also enjoying this a little?"

"Yup." Burley answered. "She always makes us sweat it. Now she has to."

Charity and Ziva...

The two women rode down to autopsy on the elevator. "Burley tells me that this suspect is your boyfriend's father." Ziva said.

"Yes." Charity replied.

"This the first time you've met him?"

"Yes." Charity answered. "And he doen't know that I'm dating Tony. I'm not even sure he knows Tony's seeing anyone."

"What do you mean?" Ziva asked.

"From the things Tony has told me, they have a strained relationship."

"I see."

The elevator doors opened and the two women headed to autopsy. Ducky was standing by the body, doing his work. He looked up. "Ah, hello Charity. I suspected that I would be seeing you here soon. And who is this lovely woman?"

"Ducky this is Mossad Liason Officer Ziva David. Ziva this is our ME, Donald Mallard." Charity introduced them.

"Please call me Ducky."

"It's nice to meet you, Ducky." Ziva greeted.

"Okay, Duck, what do you got for me?" Charity asked.

"Our young Petty Officer was killed around midnight last night." Ducky answered. "As you can see he was badly beaten, of course he put up a fight."

"Is the beating what killed him?" Charity asked.

"Yes and no." Ducky answered. "What killed him was the blow to the chest. It caused his heart to stop. I took some blood and tissue samples from our victim. Abby is running a full tox screen."

"Has anyone taken blood from Mr. DiNozzo?" Charity asked.

"Yes, the EMTs did." Ducky answered. "Abby has the blood and is also running a full tox screen on him as well."

"Good work, Duck." Charity said, leaning in and giving Ducky a kiss on the cheek. Then she turned and walked towards the elevator, Ziva following her.

Ziva began to open her mouth to say something when Charity's cell phone rang. She looked at the screen. "Hello Director."

"I need you in my office, now."

"Yes Director." Charity answered and then hung up.

"You have to see the director." Ziva said.

"Yes." Charity replied. "You help Burley and McGee."

Ziva nodded. "Alright."

After Ziva headed for the squadroom, Charity was walking into Jenny's office. She walked in and found Jenny behind her desk. "What can I do for you, Director?" Charity asked.

"I heard that your suspect is Detective DiNozzo's father."

"Yes." Charity answered.

"And from what I understand you and the detective have been seeing each other."

"Yes."

"I'm going to let you continue to work this case, but if I think your judgement is questionable, if I think at any time you're anything but impartial, I will pull you off the case faster than you can blink. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal ma'am."

"Now, get back to work."

"Yes Director."

Once Charity was back down in the squadroom, Burley looked up at her. "You still on the case boss?"

"For now." Charity answered. "McGee have you been able to find out anything about our Petty Officer?"

"There are too many black bars across his service record." McGee answered. "I'm guessing that he was involved in a lot of classified ops."

"Ducky said that the COD was a blow to the chest that caused his heart to stop. He was also beaten pretty badly." Charity said.

"Petty Officer Langer being involved with black ops, would mean that he was highly trained." Burley said.

"Not to mention that he is significantly younger than DiNozzo." McGee added.

"There's no way he could have done it." Ziva concluded.

"So, when are you going to tell Tony about this?" Burley asked.

"As soon as I have even more solid proof that his dad didn't do it." Charity answered.
