Abby was practically bouncing in place, when Kate entered. Despite her already caffeinated mood, Kate found herself feeling rather slow compared to the rate at which Abby was moving. Gibbs just smirked and said "Abby" she stopped her whirling and focused on them. She paused for a moment then "i was running the DNA on the crime scene, and it turns out there are two different types of DNA at your scene...which means..." she pointed both hands at tony, he paused then said as he spread his hands wide "our killer got cut" Gibbs simply raised an eyebrow, Kate murmured "or there are two victims" Gibbs glanced at her, only briefly before giving one short nod. His attention returned to Abby as she smirked. "That's true, but the different DNA was found on a knife, either our victim fought back or the killer-" Tony jumped in "killed another victim" Abby smirked "right" Gibbs walked around the computer and looked at the plasma "well?" "Well what Gibbs?" came Abby's reply. He turned around and barked "we may have another victim's DNA or the killers, which one Abby?" his glare was fierce and she said confidently "how would you like me to figure that out Gibbs? I only have a bit of DNA" his glare didn't waver "...I could run it through the database and find out if there are any matches" Gibbs said in a softer tone, one he used often on tony "well?" she turned and went back to her computers, typing furiously. Gibbs turned on his heel and strode out of the labs, Kate eagerly leapt to follow him as did tony.
Kate sipped from the coffee as the elevator continued on its journey downward, it was almost gone and she was mournful of that, now she knew why Gibbs loved coffee so much, or was it his giving it to her that had made it so wonderful? Either way she was content to enjoy it. Tony smirked "enjoying that?" she turned to him and raised an eyebrow "yes tony" "huh a little much don't you think? It is just coffee" she hissed "bite your tongue...its great coffee" once again she thought she caught the ghost of a smile cross Gibbs face "Dinozzo" but he said no more, the almost laughing tone in his voice stunned her, she decided that she wanted to hear it more often. The elevator chimed and Gibbs took off once more, leaving her and tony to once more follow in his footsteps.
However once they entered autopsy Kate was glad that she'd pretty much finished her coffee, because there was no way she could stomach any more now, the body lay exposed, pieced together like some demented jigsaw puzzle. Just as her fingers went numb, Gibbs took the coffee cup from her hands and drained it turning away and tossing it into a bin that ducky had placed out for him.
"I'm glad you're here Jethro" "you called me, duck" was his terse reply, Ducky moved around the corpse and his fingers pressed against it creating a sound that made her sick to the core, she couldn't help but let out a soft groan as she averted her eyes to the sight. Tony was not holding up much better than she was, but she knew they'd both be damned if they'd show it. Gibbs however seemed unaffected as he questioned Ducky what he'd found. She listened intently struggling to ignore the sounds that ducky's hands made as they shifted the pieces of the madman's jigsaw.
