SUMMARY: Meeting Kate's family

DISCLAIMER: Navy NCIS is the properties of Belisarius Productions, Paramount Network Television, DPB (The second greatest being in the cosmos) and CBS.

Kate was taking pictures of the crime scene. A Marine had been killed when he had saved a woman from being shot during a purse snatching. The Alexandria Police had called them in to work their side of the case.

Tony was doing the sketching and Gibbs was taking measurements. Ducky was doing his job, but he was doing it much quieter since Gerald wasn't out of rehab yet.

"Excuse me, officer," said a woman from the crowd.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am," said the Alexandria police office. "This is a crime scene. You can't come through here."

"But we have to," said the woman. "That car you have taped off is our car. We have to get home and get the baby down for a nap."

Kate stopped taking pictures and moved behind Tony so she couldn't be seen. She recognized the voice of the woman as her aunt.

"Hey, Jethro," called out Caitlin Rose to Gibbs when she saw him. Gibbs leaned toward Ducky and said something quietly. The doctor covered the body so the child couldn't see it.

"K2," called back Gibbs. "Look, Kate..." Gibbs turned to see a hateful look on Agent Todd's face.

Kate step out from around Tony to see her Aunt Millie, Caitlin Rose, and Jean, Douglas' SO. "Hello," said Kate to her family.

"Kate," called Caitlin Rose. The child waved at Kate and Gibbs.

Kate smiled. She looked back at Gibbs with a look that clearly said, 'Kill me now.' She turned back to the women and moved toward them.

"Your car is going to be stuck for a while, Aunt Millie. We have to get some evidence off of it before we can release it."

"What happened here Kate," asked Jean?

"I can't really go into it right now, Jean," said Kate. "I'm sorry."

Tony leaned over to Gibbs. "Does that woman look a lot like Kate or I am I just seeing things?" asked Tony. The two women could be twins. Kate was two inches taller then the other woman. The hair was the same color, but Kate's hair was longer. They smiled the same way. The only other difference was Jean was several years older then Kate.

Ducky looked at the women too. "Oh, yes, the two could be sisters," said the doctor. "Don't you think so, Jethro?"

"Yeah," said Gibbs. That funny feeling Gibbs got when the two of them had taken Caitlin Rose home just popped back up. He still couldn't understand what was going on yet.

"Can I come over and see Jethro?" asked Caitlin Rose.

"No, honey," said Kate. "This is our crime scene, and we have to keep people out of here until we get all of the evidence bagged up."

"Oh," said the child. "When would you tell him to come over when he gets a minute to talk to me?"

Kate smiled down at the little girl. "Sure, K2," said Kate, moving back to the others. "Hey, Gibbs, your future wife wants to talk to you when you get a free moment."

"Okay, Kate," said Gibbs as he went back to measuring.

"Umm," said Tony. "Kate, did I just hear you say Gibbs' 'future wife'?"

"Yes; please tell me I am not hearing things, Jethro?" said Ducky.

"Yes, Kate said my future wife," said Gibbs with laughter. "I went out with Kate and her younger cousin one Saturday. She asked me to marry her when she got old enough."

Tony looked over at Ducky to make sure he had understood the statement. Ducky returned the look. Now they were both lost somewhere in that statement. Ducky would find out what the heck that meant from Jethro.

Gibbs and Kate just smiled at them both. If they wanted anything more on the story, then the two of they would have to ask about it.

When it was time to move the body, Gibbs had the almost everyone stand between them and Caitlin Rose, so when it was moved to the gurney and taken to the truck, she didn't see a thing. Millie had Caitlin Rose turned away to make sure she didn't see the body.

Kate had moved over to her cousin's SUV. She took pictures of the blood that was on the side of it. She then started to take swabs of the blood.

"Caitlin, dear," said Aunt Millie from the other side of the taped-off area, but in front of the SUV. "Jean called Douglas, and he is coming to get us. Is it all right if I reach over and hand you the keys?"

Kate moved closer to her mother's only sister. When she did, her gun came into view of Aunt Millie.

"Oh, dear," said the older woman. "You are wearing your gun."

"Yes, Ma'am, she is," said Gibbs as he walked over to Kate. He handed Kate a few more baggies. "We all carry our guns when on duty."

"You must be Mr. Gibbs," said Aunt Millie. Looking up at the man, Millie knew why Douglas looked down on him. "Douglas and Caitlin Rose have told me about you." The woman looked Gibbs up and down. She had inspected, detected and rejected the man in front of her. He wasn't good enough to speak to, as far as Millie was concerned.

"That I am, ma'am," said Gibbs. He was getting some kind of enjoyment out of pissing this woman off. "Like your son, Douglas, I was a Marine before I joined NCIS."

"Well, Douglas didn't tell me that," said Aunt Millie, a little surprised by the statement. How could someone like him be a Marine just like her Douglas?

Gibbs' cell phone rang. "Gibbs," he answered, walking away from the ladies. Kate turned back to her aunt.

"Yes, if you really want to give me the keys," said Kate. "You can, but I don't think we're going to have it for much longer. I need to do a couple more things, and I'll talk to Gibbs about it."

"All right, dear," said Aunt Millie. She kept the keys and moved back over to Jean and K2. "Kate said she would talk to her Gibbs about getting the car released."

"Oh, dear," said Jean. "Maybe I shouldn't have called Douglas then."

"Don't worry about it, dear," said Millie. "Douglas will get the car for us. He has Kate wrapped around his fingers. She will do whatever he wants her to do."

"Mother," said Jean. "Kate can't just release the car without Mr. Gibbs' okay. He is the boss. I swear, you and Douglas are taking this dislike for anyone Kate works with too far. You don't even know them."

Millie gave her soon-to-be daughter-in-law a dirty look.

Kate moved back to the side of the vehicle and got down on her knees to check along side the SUV. Kate would turn around occasionally to check on Gibbs, to see if he was off the phone yet.

Douglas parked his white SUV down the street from the taped-off area. Getting out of the car, he walked back to the crime scene. "Mom," called out Douglas.

"Here, dear," said Millie.

Kate's head popped over the hood of the SUV. "Hey, Digger," said Kate.

"Hey, Kite," said Digger. "What have you gotten my car involved with?" he asked, giving Kite a playful stern look.

"Well, I took it for a joyride and parked it and left it here for your family to figure out," said Kate with a laugh.

"Caitlin," said Ducky. "We are going to leave now." Arlington Police had given the body to Ducky to autopsy.

"Oh, okay, Ducky," said Kate. "But I want you to meet my cousin Douglas first."

Both Kate and Ducky came under the tape and pulled off their gloves. Ducky stuffed his in his pockets and Kate did the same in her pocket.

"Douglas, this is our medical examiner, Doctor Donald Mallard," said Kate. "This is the one I didn't introduce you to before at NCIS."

Ducky put his hand out to shake Douglas' hand. Douglas hand came up and shook the Doctor's hand.

"Ducky," said Kate. "This is my favorite cousin, Douglas Ingalls."

"It's an honor to meet you, sir," said Ducky. "These lovely ladies are related to you, Caitlin?"

Kate smiled at Ducky. "Yes; I would like you to meet my Aunt Millie--she is Douglas' mother," said Kate. "And my Mom's only sister. This is Douglas' fiancé, Jean, and their daughter, Caitlin Rose."

"Well, it is always my pleasure to meet such beautiful women," said Ducky.

Kate kept from laughing out loud. Ducky just won every one over in the group. Now if Gibbs or Tony could have done that too.

"Likewise," said Douglas. "Kate has told me that you have done almost everything under the sun, and all of it legal."

"Well, that is a bit stretching it," said Ducky. "But almost true. I really have to get back to the office." Nodding at the group, Ducky turned and got into the truck with the body and drove away with it.

"Kate," said Tony from the other side of the rope.

"Sorry, I have to get back to work," said Kate. "Hang tight for a couple of minutes. Depending on what Gibbs says to the question I am going to ask him, you will know when you can have the car back."

"All right," said Douglas.

Kate moved back to the other side of the tape. "Gibbs," said Kate.

"Well, nice of you to join us," said Gibbs. Kate smiled and shook her head.

"I'm sorry," said Kate. "But my family wants to know when they can have their car back."

"When we're done with it, Kate," said Gibbs. "You know that." Gibbs reached up and rubbed his forehead. His stomach was starting to hurt, and it didn't help that Douglas was here. Gibbs saw the man standing next to his snotty Mother.

"Yes, Gibbs, I do," said Kate, "but I wanted to tell you I took the swabs of blood off the car."

'One more thing to hate about the man,' thought Digger. 'He smarts off when he doesn't have to.' Digger heard what Gibbs had said to Kate. 'It's a good thing that this one is her boss and she can't get into his pants like Kerry's. Now I just have to worry about the other doofus. Now that Chase is FINALLY going out with Kate, maybe she will not have to worry about those other two at all!'

"Douglas, dear," said his mother.

"Yes, Mom," said Digger.

"Is this going to take long?" said his mom. "Caitlin hasn't had her nap this afternoon."

"I don't know, Mom," said Douglas. "We're just going to have wait and see what Kate and her boss say."

"Oh, dear," said Millie. "By the way, Caitlin called Mr. Gibbs Jethro when we saw him the first time."

"I'll talk to her about it, Mom," said Digger. "I told her once she couldn't call him by his first name."

"All right, dear," said Millie. She couldn't understand why Douglas so lax with his child. She was never that lax with Douglas or his sister.

Gibbs and Kate moved over to the SUV and looking at it some more.

"You took a swab of all of them," said Gibbs.

"I took two of each in case you say Douglas can take the car," said Kate.

Gibbs just stood there lost in thought. He looked at SUV and the blood splatter and where the Marines body ended up. Something wasn't right, but Gibbs knew it had nothing to do with the crime scene.

"OK, Kate," said Gibbs. "Your family can take the car now. As long as you are sure you took swabs of everything twice."

"Great," said Kate. "I will let them know." The agent moved back to the edge of the sideway. "Douglas, you can take the car home now."

"Thanks, Kate," said Douglas.

Tony came over and helped Kate pick up the tape so the women could get into the car without breaking the tape. They were still working on the crime scene.

Gibbs moved over to K2. "Hey, I'm sorry that I couldn't talk to you," said Gibbs.

"That is okay, Mr. Gibbs," said K2 as she looked over at her father and then her grandma. "I understand your work is important."

Gibbs smiled at the child and reached over and touched the top of her head. Caitlin Rose laughed at Gibbs.

"Come, K2," said Douglas as he comes toward the child.

"Okay, Dad," said the child. Lifting her up into his arms, Douglas walked away with her to the car. He put her into the back seat and strapped her into the car seat.

Jean and Millie got into the SUV and drove away. Douglas walked back down the street to his SUV.

"So, Kate," said Tony. "Is your family always such pains in the butt?"

"Aren't all families, Tony?" said Kate.

"Okay, you have me on that one," said Tony.

"Hello," said Gibbs. "Working a case here, people; we need to find a killer." The older man walked away from Tony and Kate.

They smiled at each other and followed Gibbs back to the work.
