"This is where Tony lives," said Kate, more to herself than Gibbs and McGee, as they walked up towards the building.
As they walked into the crime scene, an officer stopped them.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Special Agent Gibbs, this is Special Agent Todd and McGee, NCIS." Said Gibbs, showing the officer his badge and I.D.
"Oh, we've been expecting you." The officer led them closer to the suitcase.
Gibb's eyebrows rose as he followed the officer.
"Now, Special Agent DiNozzo found the body this morning at 0405, M.E said that he's been dead since yesterday morning," the officer said.
Gibbs stopped walking, turned to face the officer and nodded. The officer's cell began to ring. He raised a finger and answered.
Gibbs watched as the man for a second and then turned around to Kate. "Photos."
"Oh… getting right on it." She hurried towards the suitcase.
Gibbs walked up to Ducky, who was examining the body.
"Ah… Jethro, how are we today?" Ducky asked as Gibbs kneeled down next to him.
"What have we got?" Gibbs asked staring down at suitcase.
The first thing Gibbs noticed was the pair of cold hard eyes staring back at him. Then slowly the rest of the contents hit him. The body was dressed in a Navy uniform. Its head had been cut off its neck and placed on the chest. Both arms and leg were cut clean off the body. The arms were placed in an 'x' shape across the victim's stomach. The legs were placed on either side of the body.
"Poor chap. Time of death was probably yesterday morning but I'll do a better examination to give you an exact time." Ducky said.
"Cause of death?"
"Not sure, my best guess would be drug overdose or poisoning, something along those lines."
"And the…" Gibbs pointed at the limbs and head.
"Post-mortem. Didn't suffer much. Kind of reminds me of this one case I had…"
"Ducky," Gibbs said sternly
"It's an interesting story Jethro." Gibbs got up. "You would love to hear it, wouldn't you?" Ducky asked the body, "Of course you would."
Gibbs spotted Tony sitting in the corner. He looked above Tony; there was a surveillance camera. He walked over and tapped the lens.
"Boss, it doesn't work," Tony said
"Of course," Gibbs muttered. "DiNozzo!"
"Yeah boss?" Tony asked, looking up.
"Do the other cameras in this building work?"
"Some, not all."
"Which ones?" Gibbs asked, turning around to face Tony.
"Ah… That one and a few downstairs." Tony was pointing at a camera in the far end of the corridor.
Gibbs walked over to the camera that Tony was pointing at, studied it for a few minutes and then walked back.
"DiNozzo, get the tape from that camera," Gibbs ordered as he walked past and back to the crime scene.
"Yes boss." Tony jumped up and disappeared downstairs.
NNN
At NCIS morgue
"… And you'll never guess…" Ducky was telling the body about his adventure, when Gibbs walked in.
"Anything?" Gibbs asked, walking up the body.
"Jethro, you sure you don't want to hear about the time…" Ducky started.
"Ducky!" Gibbs warned.
"Yes, yes… Now, I've managed to narrow down the time of death to seven to eight, yesterday morning. Very well preserved though, most likely placed in a freezer after death. Cause of death, drug overdose, I think of heroin, but you would have to ask Abby. I've sent a blood sample to her. I found a minute hole in this poor chap's arm," Ducky paused and lifted the deceased's arm.
Gibbs took one last look at the body and then walked back out.
