(last chapter)
(8:54pm)
McGee sat down at his desk and began typing away at his keyboard trying to look for a lead of the Sailor's killer and Tony and Ziva's assailant. Abby began to process all the evidence they had found at the crime scene and looked through all the photos. Ducky and Jimmy started to examine the body found at the crime scene. And Gibbs' went to MTAC to speak to the sailors C.O.
(3:48am)
"Boss, I found something!"
"McGee, talk!" Gibbs bellowed
"Our sailor's name is Jeremy Tyler. Divorced once to Tara Williams. No kids."
"Bring her in I wanna talk to her." Gibbs ordered
"Boss I'm not done. I spoke to a friend who owes me a favor. He told me that one of the other seamen, Sam Fincher who, by the way... Not a big fan of him. Got in some fights both physical and vocal. They were both arrested and kept in custody overnight after a bar fight they had after being deployed 6 months ago.
"Bring Fincher in McGee." Gibbs re-ordered.
"On it boss." McGee obeyed and made a call on his phone.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Gibbs went down to Ducky hoping to get some answers.
"Hey Duck. Got anything?" Gibbs asked hopefully
"Well Jethro, our seaman here was taken out with one tap directly to his heart." Ducky began holding a specimen jar with a squashed 22 caliber slug in it.
"Oh, that reminds me. Mr Palmer! Please bring this up to Abby for analysis."
"Yes Doctor." Jimmy said in a loyal tone.
"What is interesting is that he has several healing bruises to his face and abdomen and more bruises and cuts to his knuckles which indicates that he might have been involved in some kind of fight or he was defending himself." Ducky continued.
"Other than his bruises and cuts he was a very young, healthy man." Ducky finished and sighed
"Thanks Duck." was all Gibbs said before he left to go see Abby.
"Its a shame for a young lad like you to die so early." Ducky sighed, talking to the dead body.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Gibbs walked into Abby's lab with a caf-pow in his hand. Her lab which was usually filled with loud, electric music was quiet and boring. He saw AFIS running down several fingerprints to match the one on the screen. And Major Maspec working down some kind of substance. Abby was sitting in the corner of the lab with Burt in her arms. She looked scared, worried, dejected, sad pretty much everything you could feel if two of your friends were in hospital unable to do anything.
"Hey Abs. What do ya got?" Gibbs asked trying to lighten the mood
Abby slowly got up from her hiding spot with Burt still in her arms.
"Hey Gibbs." Abby said in a tone like she had just been crying.
Gibbs knew what she needed. Gibbs walked up to her and opened his arms. Abby returned the gesture and opened up her own and they had a long tender hug.
"Please tell me that Tony and Ziva will be ok Gibbs." Abby begged
"Abs, They will be ok. I can say it for sure." Gibbs reassured
"But- But- what happens if Tony's wound bleeds out or- or- if Ziva suffocates in her own lungs? Gibbs what happens if they-" Abby trailed off avoiding to say the word.
Gibbs put a finger to her lips and said
"Abby, they will pull through." He tried to reassure Abby and emphasized 'will'.
"I'm gonna ask again. What do ya got Abs?" Gibbs said again slowly trying to keep her mind off the situation.
"Well I found a finger print on the shell casing Tony found at the crime scene. AFIS is running it down now. Major Maspec is running down a substance found in the victims hair..." Abby rambled (A/N sorry I know nothing about forensic stuff.)
"In the end, I found DNA belonging to... Sam Fincher."
"Thanks Abs. Remember, think positive." Gibbs kissed her on the forehead and left.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Gibbs went down to interrogation expecting to find Fincher sitting facing the one way window but found no one there. He checked the other interrogation room and found the same result. He was getting pissed. He went up to the bullpen.
"McGee! Where the hell is Fincher!" Gibbs barked
"Sorry boss but it looks like he's no where. I can't find him anywhere. I'm working on finding all his old addresses and trying to trace his phone but it's off. I'm also trying to track any burn phones near the addresses I managed to find to see if any belong to him." McGee rambled.
"Dammit McGee we need to find him put out a BOLO." Gibbs yelled sounding really pissed off.
"I'm trying boss I'm trying." McGee muttered.
"Well try harder McGee!" Gibbs barked and left to go upstairs to talk to Jenny.
A/N sorry this is so short and boring but I don't know a lot about investigating even though I watch NCIS a lot. I realized coming up with your own case and thinking about how to solve it is not easy.
