We went back to the lab to figure out how the shooter dug the bullet out without leaving any kind of marks on the case or the bullet itself. I went down to see Abby while I waited. "Good afternoon Abby my dear." I said and sat down out of her way. I brought a laptop with me to go over all the evidence. "Hello Gambit. Did you bring me anything?" She asked and looked at me happily. I smirked and pointed to the table that was behind her. There stood a caff POW waiting for her to drink. "You snuck that in here didn't you?" She asked as she took her first drink. "No I walked in saw you typing, placed it on the table and told you good morning as I walked to the desk. It isn't hard to walk like Gibbs my dear. Isn't that right Gibbs." I asked and saw out of the corner of my eye Gibbs walking into the light. "I have been looking for you Gambit." He said as he kissed Abby on the cheek. I saw this and a flash of anger shot through my body. I blinked a couple of times and shook my head. "I needed to get away from Tony. I love him to death but he will be the death of me." I told Gibbs while I looked for his gift for the day. I found it and handed him a large cup of coffee. He looked at me for a few seconds and took a sip of the hot java. "This is good. Where did you get it?" He asked me while we looked on the monitor. I smiled and looked at him. "I made it this morning and because it's my favorite brand I thought you should have some." I whispered to him and walked back to my laptop. I stared at my screen then back at Abby's screen. I stopped breathing for a second then smiled. "I know how he did it. The bullet we found has been shot but it isn't the weapon. The true weapon is a meat bullet. The killer shot one bullet. Picked up the shell and bullet. Went back home and created a meat bullet. Then he froze it and when he was ready he shot Petty Officer Jones with it. Giving it enough force to stop his heart but not enough to leave his body. When we looked into him he didn't think to look for some meat just floating around inside of him." I said in about three breathes. I smiled at Abby and Gibbs. Abby gave me a thumbs up and Gibbs smiled at me. He went through his jacket pocket and gave me an apple. I took a bite and licked my lips. It was such a juicy apple. "Come on Gambit lets go tell the team." He said and offered his arm for me. I placed my hand on his elbow and we walked to the elevator. We rode up a little till Gibbs hit the emergency stop switch. He looked at me for a while, just staring into my eyes. "Diamond why do they call you Gambit?" He asked me. I smirked and grabbed a deck of playing cards that were in my boots. "I always have cards with me. That and I always win a bet. I haven't lost a single bet in all of my gambling carrier." I told him and flipped a card into the air and showed it to him to be the black spade ace. He smiled at me and turned the switch back on. We rode in silence until we finally our floor. We walked out and told the team how Petty Officer Jones died.
(after the case)
I was packing up, I was angery at myself. We found out that it was Petty Officer Jones' higher up that shot him. He killed Jones because he was caught flirting with his girlfriend. We went to him on the ship and chased him for a while. He grabbed me and tried to us me as leaverage. It would have worked if I wasn't already pissed off. He hit me and gave me a black eye and a bruised rib. I growled as I started to walk out. I don't do well when I am in pain. I waved bye to Tony, Ziva and Mcgee. Telling them goodnight and that I would see them tomorrow. I started to step out when I realized that Gibbs wasn't in his office. I turned back to go and say goodnight when I heard a voice. "You know Gambit you are going to be the death of me." There was Gibbs leaning against his car smiling at me. I walked towards him smiling. "I didn't mean for it to happen. Its not like I enjoy being punched in the face." I told him as he examined my face. He sighed and just shook his head. "You have to be more careful. We just got you Gambit. We wouldn't want to lose you so quickly now would we." He said mainly to the stars that were over head. "Wouldn't dream of it Jethro. Wouldn't dream of it."
