"Tony!" said Abby excitedly as she saw Tony walked into her lab. She became more excited when she saw what he was holding. He had brought along a Big Gulp with him. Tony was acting Gibbs-ish again. But it didn't bother Abby, the more Gibbs the more Big Gulps for her. Tony passed the drink to her. And she took it and took a big gulp from it.
"What have you got?" asked Tony
"Ok, I got the test for DNA… the blood from the scene of the crime and the saliva on the glass Jennifer Wilder used is not a match… Her fingerprints didn't match any of the prints that I have on the crime scene" she said
"And?" asked Tony
"And there is something really strange… I can be certain the blood that was on the bed is the missing Petty Officer's but I'm not so sure about the blood found on the floor" said Abby
"What do you mean?" asked Tony
"Well, it's close enough of a match to be Gray's… but why would the blood on the floor be a 80 percent match while the one on the bed a 90?" asked Abby
"Could it have been influenced by something in the material or something?" asked Tony
"I'm working on that" asked Abby
"Oh and I ran the prints through the database. I've still got nothing" said Abby
"Ok, I'll tell Gibbs" said Tony and he started to walk towards the exit
"Hey, wait! Tony! Tony!" Abby called after him. Tony was already out of the lab but he heard Abby calling after him and came back to her lab.
"Yeah?" he asked
Abby took something out of the drawer from her desk and threw it to him "Catch!" she said
He caught it with one hand. "Good catch!" said Abby
Tony took a look at what he caught. It was a squeaky toy pig.
"What's this?" asked Tony as he squeezed it. A snorting sound came out.
"You have a squeaky toy that snorts?" asked Tony
"Call it a snorty toy… McGee says you sound like that when you sleep!" said Abby
"I do not! He's exaggerating!" said Tony as he threw the toy back to Abby.
"Well, did probie tell you he's got quite a temper!' said Tony
"McGee? A temper! No way!" said Abby
"Oh yeah! Woke me up in the middle of the night… yelling at me for snoring and whacking me with a pillow" said Tony as he begin to walk out
"No way!" he heard Abby say as he walked out of her lab.

"So, we're back to square one!" said Gibbs after listening to Tony.
"Maybe we missed something?" asked Kate
"Maybe you are right... Kate! Tony! McGee! Go back to the crime scene and see if there is anything you can find. Kate, talk to Gray's grandmother again!" said Gibbs
Kate was driving the car. Tony was next to her on the passenger seat messing with his phone while McGee was at the back seat having nap. Obviously, McGee was very tired.
Tony put his cell into his pocket and started looking around the car to see if there was anything for him to do. Then he saw Kate's bag. She had placed it in between their seats. Tony looks at it and saw a bright multi colored paper. He looked up to see Kate paying attention to the road. Tony looked at the paper again, wondering what it was. The curiosity got the better of him, he took the paper out when she was not looking. Well, at least he thought she would not see him. As his hand got down her bag and pulled out the paper. Kate noticed movement. She turned and saw him taking something out of her bag.
"Tony" she exclaimed. One of her hand tried to grab her paper back. She wasn't looking at the road anymore. Tony looked in the front and yelled "Car!"
Kate looked in front and saw that while she was distracted she went off to another lane and in front of her was an incoming car. She took a hard turn and avoided it in time going back to her own lane. She could hear the driver of the car that she nearly crashed into yelled "Don't cha know how to drive!"
Kate shot Tony a look and said "Tony! You nearly got us killed!" she took a look at her rear view mirror and saw McGee still asleep and unaware of what had just happened.
"I'm not the one driving" said Tony as he read the contents of the paper he so rudely took from her. It was a card. Kate snatched it from him and stuffed it into her pocket.
"Well, I'm not the one who distracted the driver by stealing her stuff" said Kate as she punched Tony for a being an idiot. She liked him. Yes, it was true. But at times, he just annoys the hell out of her.
"So, a reunion party, huh?" asked Tony with a smile. The paper was an invite to Kate's High School reunion party. Kate was now really mad. She didn't say a word. She felt like a volcano inside. Ready to burst at any moment. Then she noticed he had taken out his phone again, and he was pressing the keys like mad. She wondered what he was doing.
He was… text-messaging Abby. "I don't have to sleep in the office tonight!" Tony thought to himself. And he smiled.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Soon, Kate, Tony and McGee had reached the petty officer's house. McGee was still asleep. Just as Kate parked the car, Tony's phone rang telling him he had a message, he quickly took out his phone and read what the message was… "Yes!" he said out aloud all of a sudden, his hands up in the air as if he had won something. Kate knew whatever the message was, it was good news for Tony. McGee woke up because of Tony, he looked around and said "oh, we're here!"
Tony and McGee both entered the crime scene again. It was pretty much the way they left it. But this time they had to do a more thorough search, they couldn't risk missing out on anything. Kate was in the living room with the grandmother of Kelly Gray. Her eyes were puffy and red, obviously she had been crying. The thought of her killing her own grand daughter had crossed the team's mind. But they tested to see if she did take her sleeping pills on the night of the crime. It couldn't be her.
"Do you know anyone who might wanna harm Kelly?" asked Kate, using Gray's first name to make it feel more informal.
"I really can't think of anyone who would do such a thing?" replied the old lady. She sat in her chair both hands closed together.
"Angry ex- boyfriends? Stalkers? Anyone? " suggested Kate
"Kelly did have her fair share of angry ex boyfriends, but I don't think they would do such a thing to her" said the old lady
Tony walked into the living room and smiled at the old lady
"Erm, ma'am, may I have a look inside your room?" asked Tony
The old lady nodded and Tony walked to her room.
Tony walked into the room, it had a simple décor, a dressing table, a bed an old radio and it had a door linked to a toilet. He looked around the bed. Then he looked at the dressing table. There wasn't much on it. Just a comb and a few cosmetics. He opened the drawer of the table and then he found an white envelope. It was already opened and it had something very thick in it. He took a peek realized it was a bunch of photographs. He pulled out one of it to have a look. His eyes widen. There were 2 Kelly Grays in one picture. He walked out to the living room.
"Erm…ma'am, may I steal this agent from you for a little while?" asked Tony.
"Sure, it's ok, I'll get you some juice" she said and walked to the kitchen.
Tony sat in front of Kate, and passed the envelope to her
"What's this?" she asked, and she opened it and took out a picture
"She has a twin?" asked Kate all of a sudden
"No, Kate, that's not a twin, it a cut out of herself! Of course it's her twin!" said Tony sarcastically. The old lady walked to them with 2 glasses or orange juice and gave it to them. Then she noticed that they were holding her white envelope.
"Oh, you found that old thing!" she said as she sat down.
"Kelly has a twin?" asked Kate
"Yes, that's Kerry!" replied the old lady
"Where is she now?" asked Tony
"She's married now…staying on the other side of town with her husband Eric" said the old lady
"Didn't she come to see you after this happened?" asked Kate
"She called once, crying, telling me to take care of myself" said the old lady
"Why didn't she come down her herself?" asked Kate, she felt that it was very odd that her grand daughter wouldn't come down to see her own sister
"She doesn't like coming down here… they used to live near here, but something happened between her and Kelly and they never spoke to each other anymore, Kerry never visits me here" said the old lady.
"Erm… I think we should be going, thank you for your time!" said Kate and took her glass of orange juice to drink. Tony had already downed his. McGee walks in and gives Tony and Kate a I've-found-something-look.

"Ok, I know. Send McGee back here to check on Kerry Gray and the husband Eric" said Gibbs on the phone, he was walking to Abby's lab.
"Ok boss!" said Tony over the phone
As the door to the lab slides open, Gibbs is immediately greeted by Abby who was standing by the computer. "Hey Gibbs!"
"Abby!" says Gibbs and takes out something from behind his back revealing her Big Gulp. She takes it from in happily
"You didn't call me down her just so you can get your drink now did you?" asked Gibbs
"That and I've just thought of something" said Abby as she showed him the file on the computer about the DNA test with the blood samples.
"I've figured out why there can big such a difference in the test…I think she has a sibling or a twin" said Abby
"I already know she has a twin…this is what you called me for?" said Gibbs as he extended his hand to grab her Big Gulp
"What? When?" asked Abby as she snatched it back
Gibbs snatched it back and said "Dinozzo just called me and told me that"
"Fine, so you know she has a twin, but I just proved that the twin was at the scene of the crime" said Abby
Gibbs gives her back her drink and said "Fine, you win!"
