Sharp: I think I know exactly the kind of man you are.
Ducky: One moment of weakness does not define ones character.
Sharp: Doesn't it?
"I don't suppose you have a minute?"
Gibbs set down his coffee cup and gave his friend his full attention.
"How is the Director?"
"Hangin' in there."
He looked relieved. "So this whole ordeal is over then?"
"Is it?"
"I don't understand?"
Gibbs stood up. "You came to talk to me Duck…"
"That I did."
"Then talk."
The ME paced briefly. "Mrs. Sharp, do you believe she was innocent in all this?"
"Do you?"
"My opinion doesn't matter."
"It matters to me Duck."
"She is a conniving, manipulative woman. I do not believe this is the last we will see of her."
Gibbs examined his friend. "What happened between you two?"
"Not amongst my proudest moments I'm afraid."
"We've all got 'em."
He had to smile. "Some of us more than others."
"Whatever is in your closet can stay there…if she comes around again, I'll be ready."
Ducky nodded slowly.
"Question is, will you be?"
But all he got was the back of his friends head as he turned to walk away. And Gibbs was left to wonder just how dark the secret in the closest really was.
