Chapter 5
As Gibbs, Ducky and Palmer walked into autopsy, the first thing they noticed was the warm air and the really foul stench. Gibbs could swear he could taste the rotting flesh.
"They must have turned off the generators for the autopsy room," Gibbs said as he covered his mouth and nose with his hand.
"I should have some candles over here," Ducky said as he walked over to his desk.
All of a sudden the three of them felt an icy chill go up their spine in contrast to the warm air in the room.
"What was that," Palmer asked.
"I think you should take out your lighter Jethro," Ducky told him.
"Yeah your right," Gibbs said reaching into his pocket.
He pulled out his lighter and read the inscription on it. He then suddenly bursted into tears. He sat on one of the tables and covered his face.
"What 's wrong Jethro," Ducky asked as he walked to Gibbs.
"I don't know," Gibbs replied sobbingly, "I just feel really sad."
"Come here," Ducky said with his arms outreached.
Gibbs placed the lighter down on the table, leaned in and hugged Ducky, who hugged him back, and continued to cry on his shoulder.
"I miss them," Gibbs said, "I can't believe they're gone."
"Who," Ducky replied, "who's gone,"
"Kelly and Shannon," Gibbs replied, "they're gone."
"There, there Jethro," Ducky told him, "there in a better place now."
"I know but I miss them," Gibbs said.
Palmer suddenly noticed a shadowy figure by the door.
"Um agents Gibbs, I think you should light that lighter right now," he said.
Gibbs and Ducky both ignored Palmer and the creature as they continued hugging.
"Seriously you guys, we should really turn on that lighter," palmers sad as the creature slowly walked into the room, but Gibbs and Ducky were oblivious.
"Dude seriously we should really do something," Palmer continued but to know avail.
As creature started to suck in the air, Palmer had enough.
"Screw this," he exclaimed grabbing the lighter off the table.
He opened it and flicked it on making the shadow stalker disappear out of the room. The air then started to get warm again.
"I'm sorry about that Ducky," Gibbs said wiping his tears, "I don't know what came over me."
"It's ok Jethro," Ducky replied placing his hands on Gibbs shoulder, "It wasn't your fault."
"Thanks though," Gibbs said.
"Anytime," Ducky replied.
"Here you go agent Gibbs," Palmer said as he handed back the lighter.
"Thanks Palmer," Gibbs replied pocketing the lighter, "and if you tell anyone about this, I will kill you with my bare hands, you got that?"
"Yes, I won't agent Gibbs,' Palmer said nervously.
