"McGee, take Doris down to autopsy, our marines have made it home," yelled Tony from his desk without looking up.

McGee smiled encouragingly at Doris who seemed hesitant to leave the safety of her desk.

"You're the one who did OK in autopsy", he reminded her. He won a nervous smile from her as she followed him to the elevator.

Once the elevator door shut he noticed again, how close she was standing to him. Other parts of his anatomy were starting to notice too so he plunged his hands into his jacket pockets in an attempt to hide any suspicious lumps in his pants. Did it always take this long to get to autopsy?

He heaved a small sigh of relief as the doors slid open. Going into autopsy would do the trick. Better than a cold shower any day.

As they walked into autopsy, he heard Doris gasp "Oh my". He was about to say something comforting to his underling when he suddenly saw the sight that she had been viewing. For a moment he felt light-headed and the world zoomed out of focus. Reassuring Doris would have to wait until he could talk again.

"You OK?" now Doris was re-assuring him, this wasn't going to way he planned at all. The extra blood flowing to his head from the embarrassment nicely redressed the blood flowing out from shock; the world zoomed back into focus.

"Ah, yeah", he said uncertainly closing his eyes for a moment to shut out the vision. He opened his eyes again and saw the body pieces; the focus slid out again. Doris touched his arm, focus returned. So he stood there with the world zooming in and out of focus waiting for some kind of equilibrium to be established.

Then she touched his face, cupping his cheeks in both hands and with a rush he was back. She was touching his skin with hers and every part of his body was alive and tingling. A warm glow started to throb in his groin and he gasped at her wide-eyed.

"Is he OK", Doris asked Ducky with a concerned look on her face.

Ducky had left his work and was standing inches from him. His face changed from concern to amusement. "He'll be fine, now", he said with a sly smile returning to his work.

"I'm fine", he assured her taking a deep breath, but there was some regret when she lowered her hands from him. Maybe if he passed out, she'd give him mouth to mouth. He shook himself mentally; this Tony morphing was very draining.

"Ahhh, um , have you met Ducky?" he stammered.

"Sort of," she said turning to Ducky and smiling at him.

"Doris, Ducky, Ducky, Doris", he made the introductions, trying to ignore the blood thumping in his head. At least he wouldn't be passing out any time soon.

"Doris", Ducky began, "That's an unusual name for someone of your tender years."

"My parents were Doris Day fans", she explained.

"Ahhh, Doris Day," Ducky's eyes took a faraway look, "You are very lucky. She was both beautiful and talented. You should be proud of such a name."

Doris gave him a skeptical look.

"You know", he continued, undeterred, "I worked for years with a man whose first name was Napoleon. Don't know what his parents were thinking."

"Was he a special agent, Ducky?" asked McGee politely, hoping this conversation might lead to the actual case in hand.

"In a manner of speaking", Ducky hedged, "Now I suppose you've come about your marine bodies…"

"Yes", said McGee efficiently pulling out a notebook so he didn't have to look at the bodies.

"Well, no great surprise about the cause of death, they were blown to bits, but I found something interesting in the rectum of each of the victims".

McGee swallowed hard; it would be there.

"Yes, I've sent one to Abby," Ducky continued, "but I've just found another and I want to show you exactly where it was."

He reached up inside the victim's anus and pulled out a small capsule. Doris grimaced.

"Why?" she asked.

"I think it was something they were trying to hide," Ducky surmised, "I think they were going to try to swallow the information but couldn't so they went for the next best orifice."

"Charming", said Doris looking up at McGee, who nodded in agreement.

"Abby should be able to give you the contents of the other one by now", said Ducky by way of dismissal.

"Thanks Ducky", said McGee as they left.

"Promise me something", Said Doris as they headed towards Abby's lab.

"What?" there was a tinge of guilt to his voice, he was a little worried all this recent thoughts were on display.

"If we ever get kidnapped with capsules of information on us, we put it up our own rectums."

"Ok," he laughed, relieved.
