Chapter 48

" Boss, Noelle is awake. "

" Get her statement McGee. "

" Boss, if you don't mind sending someone else. I don't want to be the one she has to tell those things to. "

Gibbs got quiet for a moment before answering.

" Fine. "

" And Boss, she's asking for her bracelet and her necklace. Is Abby finished with them? "

" I'll see what I can do. " And finished the call.

Half an hour later McGee was surprised to see the whole team arriving, Abby and Ducky included.

" What are you all doing here? "

" We came to meet her of course! " Said Abby excited, a huge smile on her face.

" And she dragged all of us too. " Said Tony, only to receive a punch in his arm from her.

" Is this a field trip of some sorts? " They all turned to the door of the room. Bobby was standing there, looking at each of them, analysing them. " I know some of you, but not all. " He turned to Abby and Ducky. " You are? "

" I'm Dr. Donald Mallard, please to meet you Mr. Singer. " Said Ducky, his usual polite self, extending his hand to the other man.

Bobby briefly shook his hand.

" Dr? "

" I work as a medical examiner at NCIS. "

" And I'm Abby, I'm a forensic scientist. " Said Abby, smiling.

" So why is the whole department of feds here? "

" We are just here to get her statement, and the rest of the team decided to come to meet her. " Said Ziva, trying to calm the man.

" Why? "

" Why what? " Asked Tony.

" Why would all of you want to meet her? Is it standard for the Navy feds? " He folded his arms in front of himself and leaned against the door frame.

" Mr Singer we do not mean any harm to Noelle. " Said Tim. " We just worked on this case because of her mother and wanted to meet her. Nothing more. "

He looked at them, suspicious. He then sighed and moved away from the door frame.

" You gonna stand there all day? " He entered the room, the team not far behind.
