Chapter 9: Case Closed?

Gibbs went into Abby's makeshift lab to pick up the evidence when he noticed that she was still asleep. He didn't bother her and left when he found what he was looking for. He went back to the Interrogation Room that had Ms. Gardner inside. He saw Yugi walking away from the room as he was walking by, noting that the teen looked very sad.

He just entered the room when Ms. Gardner had laughed again.

"What's so funny?" Gibbs asked.

Tea looked at Gibbs and said, "Well, I've been charged with murder and somehow…it's amusing!"

Gibbs looked at the girl hard and noticed that something changed about her. He thought long and hard before it all came to him.

"Someone stop Mr. Mutou IMMEDATELY!" Gibbs shouted before leaving the room.

Yugi was at a full blown run when Kate, Gibbs, Tony, and McGee had run out of the Interrogation Rooms. They didn't notice that Tea was laughing harder.

"Kid, freeze or die." Tony ordered.

Yugi turned around and said, "I'm running from the monster that is coming for Abby and Mai."

"Right-" Tony said before Abby ran right past them.

"Tony, take care of Mr. Mutou, Kate, McGee, follow me." Gibbs said as he went in Abby's general direction.

Ducky wandered out of his office to notice Julius sitting in his office, staring at the computer.

He walked in and asked, "So, what's going to happen to you, Julius?"

When he didn't get an answer, he walked closer and noticed that his protégé was dead. Slit in the throat with the same knife that was supposed to be in Abby's lab.

"Oh, dear…" Ducky said before going towards the Interrogation Rooms.

Gibbs, Kate and McGee walked in and saw something that was quite shocking: Abby standing in the doorway and Tea still in her seat, horrified beyond belief.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Tea screamed.

"Admit it, you killed Dr. Cassidy!" Abby shouted.

"Alright, I killed Cassidy. Just go away!" Tea screamed again.

Abby turned to see Gibbs, Kate, and McGee pointing their weapons at her.

Ducky appeared behind Gibbs and said, "Jethro, put the gun away. It's true…Julius is dead. Killed with the same knife that killed Lt. Anderson."

Gibbs and the others put their guns away. Abby walked with Ducky to pack up their equipment. It was when Abby walked past him that he noticed that she had mismatched eye colors, one brown eye and one gold eye. He decided not to ask now, but wait for later.

Gibbs walked in again to read her her rights under military law.

The group walked away from their cars, another case solved. They were feeling a little better that Dr. Cassidy and Lt. Anderson would be avenged by justice.

"Hey, Abby, when did you start loving Egyptian stuff?" Kate asked.

"Since a few days ago…why?" Abby asked.

Kate tapped the ring on her finger and said, "Well, the ring for starters…"

"Dr. Cassidy gave it to me. He seemed a little worried about Ms. Valentine so he gave it to me." Abby said.

"Well, here's our stop, Tokyo International Airport, everyone out." DiNozzo said before parking at the rental space.

Everyone got out before Gibbs' cell phone started ringing.

"Hello?" Gibbs asked.

"Hello, Agent Gibbs. Stay out of anymore business about the Millennium Items." The voice said on the other line.

"Who is this?" Gibbs asked, earning the attention of everyone else.

"In case you aren't listening, let me explain it to you." The caller said before hanging up.

Gibbs hung up, wondering what the caller meant. He turned around to notice a red dot pointing at the rental car's gas tank. His eyes widened at this.

"EVERYBODY GET AWAY FROM THE CAR, NOW!" Gibbs shouted as he ran clear.

The rest of the group got the message and started running away from the car as well.

They didn't get within 3 feet before a shot was heard and the car blew up.

"Is everyone alright?" Gibbs asked.

He noticed that there was one person that didn't make it and had a piece of shrapnel embedded inside her skull.

That person was Kate.

I'm sorry if anybody is worried that I killed Kate. I needed something to go on for the sequel. Just don't flame me. I also know that it's a bit off the beaten path (I know that Arry killed Kate via Sniper Rifle) but I wanted to, as stated, have something to go on for the sequel.

Don't forget…Read and Review.
