Lies, Secrets, and Truths
*I am sooooo sorry it took me so long to up-date but come on guys if you don't review I won't up-date!
Gibb's P.O.V
We were back in the bull pen trying to find a lead on Mia Chan's killer but so far nothing. Mia Chan seemed to be the perfect petty officer, her commanding officer said she had a bright future and she had a lot of friends, got along with everyone, never got in trouble, and always did all of her work and did it well. McGee was going threw her emails, Ziva was going threw her bank records, and DiNozzo was going threw her phone records. But so far nothing.
Tony seemed very tense and out of it. "DiNozzo! Go down and see if Ducky has anything!" I barked at him. He got up and walk to the autopsy without a word. What was up with him today he was fine yesterday, okay maybe I shouldn't have yelled at him he really hadn't done anything wrong I just was angry that I couldn't have saved those people and the youngest daughter was almost a dead ringer for Kelly. I had just needed to let some steam off and Tony never seem to be bothered by me yelling at, he'd usually just bounce back with a joke and a big grin. I would have to fined out what was wrong with him.
Tony's P.O.V
From outside the autopsy I could hear Ducky talking to Jimmy, so I slipped into the room and hung back the corner waiting until they noticed me and just listen to what ever Ducky was saying. "You know Mr. Palmer I have seen many odd murders in my life time but this is by far one of the most strange and bloody. Why once I did an autopsy on a young man who's wife killed him by painting her lips with clear nail polish then coating them with cobra venom, one kiss and that was it for that poor fellow. As it turned out he was filing for divorce because he caught her cheating and she would get nothing from it unless he died before the divorce was complete, she was caught and jailed along with her lover which was who she had gotten the cobra venom from. But from what I can tell there is no really see clear motive, while she was not married if she was pregnant that could have been a possible motive for a secret lover to keep her quite but she is not pregnant and as far as I can tell she is still a virgin." droned the elderly M.E to his assistant as he weighted the liver of the young petty officer.
"Thats nice Dr. Mallard" Jimmy Palmer replied and I could tell he was only half listening to him, I had taught him how to drone Ducky out a while ago. We respected and was very fond of the elderly M.E and found he did have some very interesting stories to tell but for the rabbling did get kinda annoying. "Oh I do wish you would call me 'Ducky' being called 'Dr. Mallard' makes me feel like such an old man which am I not." I had to smile at this, Ducky was old enough to be Jimmy's grandfather or at least father. But then I was old enough to be Ducky's grandfather's grandfather, not that I would ever look it.
I cleared my throat loudly and they both looked up. "Ah young Anthony what brings you to my humble abode." Ducky asked and I smiled at the 'young Anthony' comment 'Oh Duck if you only knew'
"The prison warden Duck, he wants to know if you had anything." I told him. "I wished I did but sadly I do not. This is a very odd murder indeed, she has no real injures expected the ones you see. But what is very very odd is that there is very little blood in our young petty officers body not even a quart of blood in her body. Even with the vast amount of blood at the crime scene there should still be more blood than there is in the body. Also what disturbs me the most is the two twin puncture wounds on her neck, I think her blood was drained and I think she was alive when I happened. Oh yes this young lady died a very slow, painful, and horrible death." Ducky said.
I knew that this was true but I had to play dumb less they suspect I knew more than I let on and that might lead to some uncomfortable questions, but still I had to help. I scanned the body my vampire hyper vision better than any microscope, then I spotted something. "Hey Ducky what are those marks on her upper arms?" I asked pointing to a clue I had found. "Oh what marks Anthony?" Duck asked moving to my side to look where I was pointing, I knew to human eyes the marks would be almost invisible so I pick up a magnifying glass from a nearby table a held them over her arm bringing out the small but deep crescent moon shaped marks. "Oh my I did not see those! Why they look liked finger nail marks but they are very deep and it looks almost as if there is some flakes of nail polish in them. But how on earth did you see them?" Ducky asked and I shrugged of the question and turn to leave saying over my shoulder "I'm going to go check with Abby."
Abby's lab was as always pounding with music and my hyper hearing always protested being in here to long. As soon as I walked in I had 135 pounds of goth leaping into my arms shouting "Tony Tony are you okay? You seemed so sad yesterday!" " I'm fine Abby really I am. I feel much better today. So can you please let go I can't breath!" I knew that she was squeezing me very tightly but I just pretended that I couldn't breath, cause in actuality I didn't even need to breath! Abby let go of me and pranced over to her lab table, "So Abby did you find anything yet?" I knew the chances were slim but hey this was Abby, if anyone could do it she could. "No! And it is bugging the crap out of me, my babies can't find anything so far! But I will not give up. Our killer has take the name of vampires in vain and for that he shall pay!" she declared passionately as she held up a test tube.
I smiled leave it to Abby to have already decided a vampire did this, even if she was right. I could tell she was frustrated and upset by not finding anything so I knew I just had to give her a hint like I gave Ducky. "Hey Abby is there any chance the killer could be a woman?" I asked her knowing it would get her thinking in the right direction. "Huh maybe but why do you ask?" she questioned looking a bit confused. "Oh Ducky thinks he might have found some nail polish flakes in some wounds on the body." I told her not saying I was actually me who had found the markings. "I will start look from that angle and see if I find something." she told me much more brightly.
I started to leave the music giving me a head ache but Abby caught my arm and held me back. "Oh and Tony can you please please pretty please with a cherry on top can you go to a club with me tonight! Its the club's opening night so everyone can get in for free and drinks and food are all half price! Its call 'The Dark Side' and its a vampire themed club so you have to dress the part, I'll bring some fangs for you! We could go out to that pizza place that you like so much for dinner then go to the club just for a few hours. PLEEEEEEEEASE!" Abby begged in that puppy dog voice she knew I could not refused but still I had try. "Abby I would love too, but you see a great friend of is visiting me and I haven't seen her in years."I told her "Oh thats okay just bring her along. I'd love to meet her." She said happily "Okay fine." I sighed "Yeah! Meet me at Luci's at nine!" she cheered after me as I left her lab.
*Sorry this wasn't as long as the others but I felt I needed to get a new chapter up.
