When they got into NCIS, the first thing Gibbs made her do was head to Abby's office. She gave Gibbs another reminder that he is NOT to work on this case and that after checking with Abby and the rest of his team, she was taking him directly back up to her office. He hesitantly agreed, but knew it was the only way he could get into the building.

When they got into Abby's Lab, they were met by the bouncing black haired woman trotting over to envelope Gibbs in a hug so he caught her and returned the hug before kissing her cheek. "Did you get anything?"

Abby told him nothing much had changed from an hour earlier but that she had a partial print she was running. The print came from the exterior kitchen door and so far no matches came up which made Gibbs start thinking. Even a partial would have come up if it was someone from NCIS, FBI, CIA, or any other federal agency. It would have also popped for someone they had arrested or someone who was in the service. "Abs, how long has it been searching?" She turned to look at him with a crooked grin. "It's been going since about 1am."

Gibbs lightly grabbed her arm, "Abby, have you been here all night?" She looked him in the eye very briefly, "ya, I needed to find something. When I did find the partial it was late and there was no way I was going to go home and go to bed with the partial print." He pulled her into another hug, kissing the top of her head. "Thank you baby." Abby stood up and had a tear in her eye, "anything for you Gibbs".

Just then, Tony, McGee, and Ziva all walked in and were asking how he felt, which of course he changed the subject quickly. As they were filling Gibbs in on their leads, Gibbs kept shaking his head. "No, we haven't hit it yet. None of that even makes sense."

As they were talking, they all heard Abby's machine bing and she ran over to it as they all spun around. "Gibbs.." She turned back to look at him as he approached and the others gathered around. "The partial came back as belonging to Lance Corporal Dale Simmons. Looks like he just got back from a 13 month deployment three days ago".

They could all tell by Gibbs' face that he didn't know him. "McGee, you get all the information you can on this guy. Ziva, DiNozzo, get down to Norfolk and talk to everyone who lived in the housing near Debby and anyone who she worked with or hung out with. If you run across Corporal Simmons, bring him in." They all nodded and did as they were told. He turned leaned over to give Abby another kiss on the cheek, "Thank you Abby. I owe you." She just smiled, "may I go take a nap now?" He just chuckled and squeezed her shoulder one more time, "absolutely."

Gibbs and Jenny left the lab and went down to see Ducky and Palmer. Ducky was just finishing the autopsy on Debby and Gibbs walked in. "Jethro, what are you doing here?" Gibbs had paused just inside the door and took a deep breath. "Just checking in, Duck. Did you find anything we could use?" Ducky shot Jenny a look and she nodded to tell him it was ok then she got a phone call, so she left to go back to her office.

Ducky looked to Palmer, telling him telepathically, to put the body in the freezer while he kept Gibbs busy over by the desk. Gibbs was looking to the floor and saw Ducky walking across the room, so he hobbled along behind him.

Ducky sat at his desk with the folder holding Debby's autopsy, so Gibbs grabbed a rolling stool and sat next to him. "Just tell me Duck." Ducky looked his friend in the eye, "Jethro, did you know Debby was pregnant?" Gibbs' eyes looked right past Ducky, "No… how far along was she?" Ducky responded softly, "about 14 weeks. I took a sample of DNA from the fetus and will get it to Abby." Gibbs just blinked and didn't say anything while Ducky studied his friend.

"Jethro. Is there any possibility of you being the father?" Gibbs didn't even look up and Ducky could tell the man was thinking, "Oh, Duck." Gibbs shook his head and stood up, reaching for the table. Ducky didn't know what that meant, but wasn't going to pry.

"Everything else I found, was semen, substantiating the fact that she had just had intercourse. Although I did collect the semen, I will assume it will come back as yours." Gibbs rolled his eyes at the thought of everyone handling his dna. "The cause of death is the obvious gunshot wounds but there is no way to know if the shots to her abdomen and chest came before the headshot." Gibbs just shot Ducky a look before he turned to leave but Ducky jumped up, "There's one more thing!"

Gibbs stopped to listen, "Had she ever mentioned about being raped?" He could tell by the look Gibbs gave him, that he had not known. "Without a doubt, she had been raped in the last few months. It isn't fresh, but she does have scarring."

Gibbs looks at the floor, "No, she never mentioned it." Ducky watched him, "it most definitely is not a new injury." Gibbs nodded and looked his friend in the eye. That was enough for Ducky to know Gibbs understood.

As Gibbs finally hobbled into the elevator, Ducky handed Palmer all the dna and the bullets to take to Abby. "Mr Palmer.." Ducky yelled as Jimmy was walking out the door. "Be sure it gets into Abby's direct hands and she signs for them." Palmer nodded, knowing that was the protocol for all evidence samples so he furrowed his brows and shrugged. "Will do."

Jimmy felt the elevator ride up to Abby's floor was quite awkward as Gibbs didn't say a thing to him, so he was happy when the door opened. Gibbs stayed in the elevator until it reached the top floor and he hobbled to Jenny's office and sat on the couch.

She could tell his brain was working in overtime so she stopped what she was doing and walked to sit on against the front of her desk. "What did they find?"

Gibbs paused for a moment and finally looked to her, "Abby came up with a partial print and I sent Tony & Ziva out to talk to the others where Debby lived. I have McGee working on a background for a Lance Corporal Dale Simmons." He paused again and she studied him closer. She had already received the report from Ducky, but she wanted to test him to see how much he would tell her. When he saw how intently she was waiting, he took a deep breath and finished telling her that Duck had discovered Debby was pregnant.

Jenny walked around and sat back at her desk, "and? Do you think you were the father?" Gibbs shook his head, "no." Jenny grinned and looked away, "thank you for at least telling me everything." He leaned back on the couch and put his hands behind his head, "I didn't tell you anything you didn't already know."

She felt bad as she knew he felt undermined, but it was one of those moments when she needed to remind him she was in charge. She returned his comment with just a smirk and looked him in the eyes, "it's one of the perks."

About three hours went by and McGee knocked on Jenny's door before he entered her office. "Director, Boss, I found as much info as I could on the Lance Corporal…" Gibbs sat up, "put it up on the screen" McGee made a gesture to Jenny asking to use her computer so she moved, allowing him space to log in and get it up on the big monitor.

"Lance Corporal Simmons was deployed in Afghanistan for 18 months, just got back about 5 months ago. He is stationed out of Norfolk and looks like he's a bit of a hot head. He was arrested 3 years ago for assault and had been written up by his CO on this last deployment for failure to follow orders and a physical altercation with another officer."

Jenny shook her head, "sounds like a great guy." Gibbs stood up, "Call Tony & Ziva, I definitely want this guy brought in today." McGee nodded, "on it boss. Anything else you want from me? Can I get you anything?"

Gibbs smirked at the younger man, "I'm all set, you work on getting the warrant for Simmons." With that, McGee left and quickly called Tony & Ziva before heading down to write up the warrant application.

Tony & Ziva had been at Norfolk for about an hour and had spoken to several people who knew Debby. No one knew of any issues or problems she had. One of her close friends said she seemed happy to be meeting up with Gibbs that night. They knew Debby had broken up with the Lance Corporal and were happy she was happy. One of them said Debby had seemed in a funk lately and had a hard time getting rid of Simmons.

Gibbs got up and waddled down to see Abby. She acted a little different when he asked if she had gotten anything. Just then, Jenny walked in behind him and he sighed, "I thought you were running to the men's room?" Jenny stood with her arms crossed, looking right at him. He just sighed again and shook his head, "whatever." Jenny looked to Abby, "Do you have anything Abby?"

Abby looked at both her bosses and smirked and responded quietly, "Actually, I did. Over here, I have the dna report on the semen." She paused, not making eye contact with either of them while Gibbs stretched his neck and blushed. "As expected, semen came back as only yours. No other DNA besides yours was found in or on her body." Gibbs took a deep breath and blinked. "What about the baby?"

Abby looked to both of them and looked to Gibbs' eyes, "Well, we can rule out Lance Corporal Simmons'." She could tell Gibbs was waiting for her answer, "not yours either." Gibbs squinted and licked his lips.

"So she's been with at least three partners in 4 months?" Jenny looked to Abby who just made a face and looked at Gibbs. "Ducky had said she has fairly new scars indicating she was raped in the last few months. I need to talk to this guy. If he isn't the father, he may know who is.

Just then Tony called Gibbs and told him they had custody of Simmons and some other info that they would share when they get into the office. Gibbs told the others what was happening and Jenny reminded him that he can not be part of the interrogation which made him sulk but he knew she was right.
