"He looks kinda... peaceful."
"Are you kidding me McGee? He looks dead."
"Don't be so dramatic Abbs."
"Yeah Abby. Listen to Kate. If he was dead, his eye wouldn't be twitching like that."
"What do you know Tony?"
"Plenty... Katie. I only see dead people like every day and most of the time, their eyes aren't twitching."
"Guys... shhh! We have to decide who is going to wake him up. McGee?"
"No way Abbs. I already spilled his coffee this week. I'm not going to wake him up too."
"Chicken."
Gibbs stirred slightly and opened one eye.
"Ahh!" Abby screamed. "Geeze Gibbs! You really need to warn somebody before you just wake up like that."
Gibbs sat up quickly in his chair. "Why the are the four of you hovered around me like a bunch of vultures?"
"Because we smell fresh meat!" Abby joked.
"We started going through the trash bags downstairs and we found a few things that you might want to see," Kate told him seriously.
"So what am I looking at here Abby?" Gibbs asked.
"This... is part of a broken bottle."
Gibbs glared at her, also shooting her an, 'I don't have time for games' look.
"Okay sorry. It is what we believe to be a bottle that contained Cyanide. See the letters 'CY' right here?" Abby pointed.
"No. I am part blind remember?"
"Well trust me, they're there. I am running a few tests on the residue on this piece of broken glass to confirm that it is in fact, Cyanide."
"Good work Abby. Let me know when you get the results," Gibbs said, kissing her on the forehead and starting to walk away.
"Wait Gibbs," Kate piped up. "There's more."
Gibbs turned around and walked towards Kate. "What else?"
"This," Abby said, over to his right. She was holding up a navy magazine.
"A magazine?"
"Not just any magazines Gibbs. This magazine has Nick's name and address on it. See?" she paused. "Don't answer that. Anyway, I found out... well actually McGee did, that this magazine was delivered to Nick's house the day before he was killed. And for Haven to have had this magazine, she had to be at Nick's house the day he was murdered since she apparently didn't visit him the day before!" Abby explained excitedly.
"But wait Abby," Kate said, coming to a realization. "I don't mean to rain on your parade but, Haven called in the murder. So of course she had to be at his house."
"But why take a magazine?" Tony asked.
"That's my next point and the best part," Abby said. "There's a bullet hole through the last few pages and blood. Which I ran a DNA test on and I won't get the results until a few more hours, butI think that maybe, Haven placed the magazine over his face before she shot him to stop blood from getting on her clothes, that way there was less evidence against her. Then when she realized there was blood and a bullet hole in the magazine, she had to take it because her fingerprints were all over it. Which I am checking for those too. So don't worry Gibbs, I've got everything covered there. This is all so great!"
Kate stood for a moment, thinking over everything that had just been said. "Abby... you're innocent."
