So me and surferdude8225 ride to school together cuz her sister is one of my best friends and neighbor so I get a ride with them. Anyways this dump truck cut us off and there was water leaking out of it. Surprisingly when we got out of the car at school we both said 'Hey what would have happened if a body came flying out of that dumpster…' We're both a little morbid now, thanks to television :) But hey, that's where Chapter 26 came from, so don't be hating on our morbidity.
Reviews please! I think I might up my review demand to 200 by chapter 30… Cuz I can and I like logging in and seeing a ton of reviews for each new chapter.
Trivia time! What episode of Emergency! did Mark Harmon guest star on? I have it on DVD and it's awesome :). My sister said he kinda looked like Zack Effron and know we know what Troy Welton will look like old…lol
And some really, really, really, spectacularly AMAZING news! I got into Salem State! (Hint, Kate's going to be going there eventually for college too, we both wanna be teachers) I'm just super pumped I got in; I was starting to get worried I wasn't going to get it. It's the only school I applied to. :)

January 2009
"Hey, Becky," Kate said as she climbed into the passenger's seat of Becky's ancient white Mercury minivan.
"Ready for epic torture?" Becky asked with a dramatic sigh.
"Am I ever?" Kate replied as she broke apart one of her Eggo waffles. "I hate the first Monday after Midyears."
"At least you're a Senior." Holly said from the back seat while she was texting her boyfriend Eric. "Robbie's faking sick and he somehow got to stay home today."
"Mom knows he faking, Holls." Becky said. "Hence the list of chores he needs to do before she gets home from work taped to his bedroom door."
"Nice one Mrs. Tee." Kate said. "Faking sick is an art form, and one I've perfected."
"Especially when we have a major paper due the next day." Becky said with a laugh.
"Hey," Kate said. "At least I play the sick card the day before it's due so I can write it and hand it in on time. Unlike a certain red headed driver I know."
Becky's hand shot out from the steering wheel and smacked Kate's arm.
"Hey!" Kate protested. "I bruise easy."
"No you don't, Dip-Shit." Becky replied. "You bruise normally."
"Well you've obviously never played 'Punch Buggy' with Abby." Kate grumbled as she finished the first of the three waffles that served as Kate's breakfast.
Becky rolled her eyes and fiddled with the radio stations until Kate smacked her hands away from the dial.
"I love this song!" Kate said. "And you love me, so you're going to leave it."
"Fine." Becky laughed. "I love U2!"
"Thanks." Kate said with a smirk "I knew I had good taste in music."
"Eww!" Holly said as a dumpster on a flat bed truck pulled out in front of them began to leak water. "That's nasty."
Kate rolled her eyes at the freshman. "It's just water, Holly."
"But it looks brown." Holly said as she silenced her cell phone.
"They came from the construction site over by the Potomac." Becky said. "There's probably river shit in it."
Kate began to sing along with the chorus at this point and cranked the stereo. "I still haven't found what I'm looking for… HOLY SHIT!"
A human skull had jarred free from the dumpster in front of them and hit the windshield of the van. Becky swerved upon impact, and on the slick road from the early morning showers, the van spun around and the back end slammed into the back of the dump truck. The truck stopped moving and the occupants of the van let the breath they hadn't known they'd been holding.
"Holly?" Becky cried hysterically. "Are you okay?"
Holly groaned. "I think so. My neck hurts and I got slammed into my seat a couple of times, but other than that I'm okay. I hope."
"I'm okay." Kate told her friend as she whipped out her cell phone to call 9-1-1. "I'm calling it in. Are you okay?"
Becky's brown eyes were enlarged and she shook her head 'no'. "I think I'm going to be sick." She whispered and threw her door open and puked the contents of her stomach up onto the pavement.
"Put the E Brake on," Kate said suddenly. "We're facing downhill."
Becky nodded when she stopped throwing up and put the car in park and set the E brake.
"9-1-1. What's your emergency?" The 9-1-1 operator said.
"My friends and I were just in a car accident." Kate told the woman. Her voice was shaky and she sounded like she was on the verge of crying. "This skull popped out of nowhere and hit our windshield and I think there's a body in the truck we hit!"
"Are you hurt?" The woman on the line asked.
"I don't know." Kate said as she began to hyperventilate.
"Where are you?" the woman asked.
Kate rattled off the streets names of the intersection and the number of occupants in Becky's car.
The traffic in all directions had been stopped by curious on lookers and the Good Samaritans that wanted to help the girls get out of the van.
"Help is on its way." The dispatcher said and Kate could hear the wail of the sirens approaching them.
"Thank you." Kate said and she hung up the phone.
"Slider's stuck." Holly said as she tried to jimmy it open.
"Ya think?" Kate replied sounding very much like her father. "The back end of the van is caved in, Holls."
"Mom and Dad are going to freak." Becky moaned
"They'll get over it, Hun." A woman in the crowd told Becky. "You girls are alive, that's what counts."
Kate nodded as she got out of the van and pulled the passenger's seat up as far forward as it would come to help Holly climb out. "Maybe if we're lucky," she said. "Ducky'll write us a nice Doctor's note excusing us from class for the week."
Becky nodded weakly and sank to the ground in the middle of the street. Kate walked around the front of the van to her friend and felt her knees give out as she surveyed the damage to the van. The entire rear end on the passenger's side was crushed and caved in. It was a miracle that Holly hadn't been killed when the van had hit the truck.
"Oh. My. God." Kate whimpered as she sank down next to Becky. "How the hell did this happen?"
Holly joined them as a man in a black suit pushed his way through the crowd. "FBI, what's going on… Oh dear God."
Kate, Becky, and Holly turned to look at the dumbstruck FBI agent.
"We got hit by a skull." Becky said meekly. "See?" she pointed to the human skull in her windshield.
"Son of a bitch." The man swore. "If it's another crazy cannibal serial killer I swear I'm gonna shoot somebody."
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
After the local LEOs and the fire department had arrived, roped off the scene, stopped the smoke from coming from the van, and witness statements were being collected did Kate get to see an EMT.
"What happed?" The FBI Agent asked Kate.
"Who am I talking to?" Kate held her hand out for his badge. "Ahh!" she hissed as the EMT wiped antiseptic over a superficial laceration on her forehead.
"Special Agent Seeley Booth, FBI Homicide Division." Booth said as he handed Kate his badge for inspection. "You're a feisty one, huh?"
Kate smirked. "Do you know my Uncle Toby?" she asked sweetly. "He works at the Hoover Building too."
"What's his last name?" Booth asked.
"Fornell." Kate said as a smile bosomed on her face.
Booth's eyes grew to the size of saucers. "Tobias Fornell?"
"Yupp." Kate said as the EMT started to pull glass shards out of Kate right hand. "I thought windshields weren't supposed to break apart like that."
"Me too." Booth said as he turned to look at the now destroyed windshield. "I guess slamming into a flat bed truck does that to it."
Kate shrugged and Becky blushed from her gurney across from Kate.
"So, Kate, what happened?" Booth said turning back to them.
"We were driving along moaning about school and then Becky let the truck out in front of us. Holly started to complain about the water runoff and then out of nowhere, BAM! We get hit by a human skull. Becky lost control of the van and I guess we hydroplaned until we hit the truck."
Booth nodded as he jotted down Kate's statement. "Where do you go to school?"
"Paul VI." Kate replied as she picked at one of the pleats in her uniform skirt.
"You're Catholic?" Booth asked.
Kate nodded. "Yepp. You?"
Booth nodded. "I'm looking for a good elementary school for my son Parker."
"St. Barbara's," Kate replied automatically. "Tell Sister Rosita Kate Gibbs sent you and she'll shave your tuition in half."
Booth smiled. "I think I'll give her a call tonight then."
"She won't be at the Rectory tonight." Kate informed him. "Mondays are bowling nights for the Sisters."
"Bowling Nuns?"
"They kick some serious ass." Kate said smiling. "Sister Rosie taught me how to bowl when I was five. Once I'm eighteen I'm joining their league."
"Booth!" his partner, a forensic anthropologist, called from the remnants of the windshield with the scull in one hand. With the other she was gesturing him to join her.
Booth handed Kate his card and she cut off his speech. "I know the whole schpiel. Go."
Booth nodded and took off.
Becky slid off of her gurney and hopped up onto Kate's. Becky and Kate grabbed each other's hands, looked at each other and burst into laughter. "I'm soooo sorry." Becky told Kate.
"It's not your fault." Kate told her best friend. "If it wasn't us it would have been that sweet old lady behind us."
Becky nodded. "I still feel responsible, though. I mean they just took my baby sister out of here in an ambulance to Bethesda."
"Holly's going to be fine." Kate said as she pulled Becky into a hug. "It's just a precaution, you know that."
Becky nodded. "Booth doesn't look to happy."
Kate looked over and saw the FBI Agent was holding a set of Dog Tags off of a pen and a look of pure fury was emblazoned across his visage.
"Twenty bucks says he calls NCIS." Kate said to Becky.
"Twenty says he calls Army CID." Becky retorted.
"You're on." Kate said and they shook on it as Booth stormed over to his SUV next to the ambulance.
"So who you calling?" Becky asked. "Army CID?" she added hopefully.
"Or NCIS?" Kate piped in.
"What's it to you?" Booth asked as he went through his contacts list.
"Twenty bucks." The girls answered in tandem.
"And I've got the NCIS switchboard in my phone book if you need the number." Kate added.
"What's the number?" Booth asked her.
Kate rattled off the NCIS Switchboard number from memory and just as Booth was about to press 'Send' on his phone the Major Case Response Team truck rolled up to the tape.
"They're here." Kate said pointing to the truck. "And they made pretty good time for an agency that hasn't been called in yet, officially speaking of course."
Leroy Jethro Gibbs put his sedan in park and stalked over to where Kate was after flashing his ID to a LEO. He pulled her off of the gurney and into a bone crushing hug that rivaled Abby's.
"Hey, Dad." Kate said. "Nice to see you again."
Jethro just hugged her tighter.
"Dad, chill!" Kate gasped. "Oxygen is becoming an issue!"
Jethro let go of Kate and kissed her temple before pulling Becky into a hug as well.
"I'm okay, Mr. G." Becky said. "Just a little shaken up."
"How'd you get here so fast?" Kate asked. "Agent Booth hasn't called the Switchboard yet."
"The Dean's office called me when you failed to show up for homeroom and first period." Jethro said as he took in his daughter's minor injuries. "I had McGee and Abby trace your cell phone."
Kate groaned. "I thought you promised me to never ever do that! Ever!"
Gibbs sighed. "Well drastic times call for drastic measures."
"I wasn't intentionally skipping!" Kate said. "I was in an accident and I'm fine. I was going to call you once we got to the Hoover Building."
"Kate!" Kate looked up to see Tony running over from the truck.
"Crap." Kate muttered. "How upset did I get Tony?"
"Pretty damn upset." Jethro responded. "I think he was more worried than I was."
"Tony!" Kate said as the Senior Field Agent scooped her up in a bear hug that was tighter than Jethro's and Abby's combined. "We're alright, calm down. Okay?"
Tony let her go and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Don't you DARE scare us like that again, young lady!" he thundered.
"Yes, Dad." Kate replied playfully.
Tony sighed and hugged Kate for a second time. "I'm sorry, I over reacted."
"Totally rational reaction." Kate said. "I could have died. Your tweak attack was totally in line."
"Kate!" Kate stood on her tip toes to see over Tony's shoulders. It wasn't her fault she was five foot four. Height had not been something she inherited from her parents. The voice that had shouted her name belonged to Tim McGee.
Kate stepped away from Tony and initiated the hug with Tim. He was still a little unsure about initiating hugs between himself and his Boss's almost eighteen year old daughter.
"Are you okay?" Tim asked Kate as he hugged her in a very Timmy-esque bear hug. There was the soft squishy belly and the very strong muscular arms wrapped around her in a protective manner.
Truthfully speaking Tim was Kate's favorite on her Dad's team. She loved Tony as an older brother, the over-protective, overbearing older brother, but still he was her brother. Ziva was the kick ass best friend and kinda sister, Abby was her sister no questions asked. But Tim, Tim was different. He seemed to be the meek and mild computer geek that was afraid of his own shadow. But when Tim was confident in himself, he was different. He didn't let anybody walk all over him and he fought back when Tony started on the 'Mc-Nicknames'. Tim was the best person Kate could take her boy issues to. He didn't judge her on what clique the boy was in, he didn't make any threats against said boy's reproductive system, and he just listened. That was what Kate needed. And Tim knew that, he got to play the big overbearing brother with Sarah, and with Kate, he was the chill guy.
"I think I'm going to make a sign that says 'I'm okay! Stop asking me!' and tape it to my forehead." Kate said teasingly as she gave Tim a little peck on the cheek.
McGee flushed a little in embarrassment "Sorry, it's an automatic reaction." He muttered.
"It's fine." Kate said. "I think it's cute you guys are all so worked up over lil' old me."
Tim laughed and noticed Kate was shivering. "Hey, go grab some coveralls from the truck for you and Becky. You two must be freezing."
"You have no idea." Kate said. "Thanks, Timmy."
Tim smiled and pushed her back towards the truck. "Change! Go!"
"Becky!" Kate cried and motioned her best friend towards the MCRT truck. "We get to steal Ziva's coveralls!"
Becky shuffled over to the MCRT truck and let Kate get changed first. The older of the two stripped off her North Face, school uniform; blazer, skirt, blouse, neck tie, annoying knee socks, school approved Mary-Jane type shoes, and dropped them unceremoniously into the brown evidence bags McGee had left out for them. She grabbed a Sharpie marker out of a drawer and scribbled 'Kate's clothes' on them and left them on the seat in the back. She pulled on the blue coveralls, a pair of gum boots she found in another cabinet and pulled on a sweat shirt that she knew belonged to Tony. The Italian wouldn't care that Kate had taken it, after all it was January.
Kate hopped out and Becky repeated the process and came out without a sweatshirt. "Hey, where's Ziva?" Kate asked McGee once they were back under the tape and with Agent Booth.
The ambulance had left because the EMTS knew Ducky wan enroute and that he was an MD as well as an ME.
Tim shrugged. "I don't know. She drove."
"Great…" Kate said as she scanned the scene and still couldn't find Ziva. They had been on site for twenty minutes and Ziva had just vanished. "How do we tell Vance that we lost the Israeli Ninja Chick?"
"I am not lost."
Kate and Becky whirled around to see Ziva had crept up behind them with Agent Booth's partner.
"Don't do that!" Becky shrieked. "You almost gave me a heart attack."
Ziva smirked like the cat that ate the canary.
"Good to know." Kate said. "So I hear Dad let you drive from the Yard."
"He did." Ziva said as she observed Kate in the oversized OSU sweatshirt and blue NCIS coveralls. Seeing no major injuries that she could aggravate, Ziva pulled Kate into a hug.
"I am glad you were not gravely injured." The Israeli woman told Kate. "I would have had no one to beat into a bloody pulp in retaliation for you injuries."
"Thanks, Ziva." Kate said with a confused smile. "I think."
Ziva smiled and hugged Becky as well. "You're not forgiven for sneaking up on me, yet." Becky told the older woman.
Ziva nodded. "Duly noted."
The forensic anthropologist next to Ziva stepped forward to speak with Booth. Booth, had been locked in an argument about jurisdiction with Gibbs while the girls had gotten changed. Tony had found two decomposing bodies in the dumpster. At this point they couldn't tell if the bodies were civilians or military personal.
"I want the skeletal remains brought to the Jeffersonian." She told Booth. "Along with the dumpster to search for the rest of the remains."
"Hold up." Jethro growled out. "None of those things are going anywhere until my ME gets here and takes a look at the bodies."
Doctor Brennan's jaw dropped. "I'm the leading expert on forensic anthropology in that nation! And a liaison to the FBI. There are bones, there for I take them back to my lab!"
"You found Dog Tags that indicated he was a Marine smashed into his jaw." Tony said as he approached the group in front of the FBI issued Suburban. "That makes this an NCIS case, Doc."
"Not only that," Jethro added, "That skull nearly killed two daughters of an active duty Marine and the daughter of an NCIS Special Agent in Charge and the former Director."
"Thos two guys DiNozzo found could be civilians." Booths said putting in his two cents. "NCIS doesn't handle civilian cases. The FBI does."
Kate nudged Becky. The two girls were on the fringes of the little pow wow. "I smell a joint investigation." She told the red head in a sing song voice.
"DUN, DUN, DUN!" Becky said with a giggle.
Ziva heard the girls and shook her head and smiled. The innocence of youth was firmly in their grasp. Neither one of them had seen any real dead bodies so far. And they were under direct orders from Gibbs to keep it that way. "This will be a crapping contest, yes?" she asked the girls.
"Pissing." Kate replied automatically correcting the Israeli woman's blunder. "A pissing contest."
"Yes, that." Ziva said.
"Yeppers." Kate said as she shoved her hands in the pocket of the sweat shirt and rocked back and forth on her heals.
Becky shivered and Agent Booth noticed the slight action. "Here," He said to Becky. "Take my jacket. I've got another one in the truck."
"Thanks," Becky said as she pulled on the heavy woolen overcoat.
"No problem." Booth said with a smile and went to retrieve his jacket from the truck.
When he came back he said, "FBI was here first."
"Fluke." Jethro said without missing a beat. "You were behind them in traffic. My ME is about ten minutes out. Nobody goes anywhere unless Ducky clears it."
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
Ducky and Jimmy Palmer showed up fifteen minutes later.
"Terribly sorry, Jethro!" Ducky said as he got out of the ME van. "Abigail wished to join us on our journey to Fairfax."
Abby bounded over to Kate and Becky and pulled them into a giant Abby Hug. "Oh my Gosh! Are you okay? Where's Holly? Should Ducky look you guys over? Sit down until he does! Aren't you freezing in the coveralls? Gibbs! Why are they still here? It's twenty degrees! They've got to be freezing!"
"Abby!" Kate said. "Oxygen! It's needed!"
"Oops." Abby said, embarrassed as she let the two girls go. "I was worried."
"We're fine, Abby." Becky said reassuringly. "Just some scrapes and aches."
"Ducky can poke and prod at us all he wants." Kate said. "But first we got ourselves a turf war brewing."
Abby's eyebrows flew up into her bangs. "With who?"
"FBI." Becky replied. In her time spent with the Gibbs family, Becky had grown accustomed to members of Federal Agencies and the CIA, Senators, Congressmen, and every so often Diplomats showing up at the Gibbs's home. She was just as unphased as Kate was with the argument brewing between Booth and Jethro. "Mr. Gibbs is going to win, hands down."
"Duh." Abby said. "Gibbs ALWAYS wins. Well, except for that one time he worked with Tony in Baltimore the first time."
"That was then, this is now." Kate said. "But I'm thinking this one's going to be split between the agencies."
"What?" Abby asked, she was already dreading sharing her evidence with some snot nosed community college grad at the FBI lab. "Why do you say that?"
Kate shrugged as she began to bounce up and down on the balls of her feet to get warm. "Agent Booth seems like a guy who won't back down without a fight. He screams ex-Military, my guess is Army, sniper maybe, he did the really quick take in the scene and quick recovery thing Dad does sometimes. He's like a dog with a bone. He's gonna want a part of this case."
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
An hour later Kate was sitting in an interrogation room at the Hoover Building to give her formal statement. Agent Booth had stopped at the Gibbs house to let the girls put on some real clothes before they came to DC.
Kate had her UGG boot clad feet up on the table top, her legs crossed and was leaning back in the chair texting Becky in another interrogation room. Kate sighed as she typed out 'How long till Uncle Toby storms in?'
Becky sent back a smiley face and 'Ala Mexico two years ago?'
'Yup'. Kate texted. 'I give it 5 min max.'
'lol'.
Kate looked up when the door opened and Agent Booth came in with a legal pad and a couple of pens.
"Statement time?" Kate asked as she put her phone in her jeans pocket and sat up.
"Statement time." Booth said in confirmation.
"Do I need like an adult witness or a legal guardian or something?" Kate asked. "Cuz Dad's processing stuff, Tony and Timmy are too, Abby's up to her neck in evidence."
"What about your Mom?" Booth asked.
Kate bit her lip. "She's gone." She said sadly thinking about Jenny. To the outside world, Director Jenny Shepard was killed in a fire that destroyed her Georgetown home. To her family, she was gone deep undercover with Witness Protection to keep her safe from the La Grenouille's organization; they blamed her and wanted revenge.
Booth stopped. "NCIS former Director," he muttered. "Shit. I'm sorry, I didn't realize…"
"It's fine." Kate said sadly. "It's kinda hard getting used to it. I just got used to having a Mom again and then she's gone."
Booth smiled sadly. "I'll go call a child advocate for you."
"No need, Booth." A male voice said from the doorway.
"Hey, Uncle Toby," Kate said as she whipped out her phone and sent 'not even 2 min. I win' to Becky.
"Texting Becky?" Tobias Fornell asked Kate.
Kate nodded. "Yupp, it's official statement time. Wanna be my legal guardian for quarter of an hour?"
"Why not?" Fornell said as he pulled out the chair next to Kate. "You watch Emily for me every Friday."
Kate giggled and rolled her eyes. "Because the only other babysitter she likes is Mr. Parker's Dad. And Mr. PD works at for the FBI too."
Tobias sent a quick glance over to Booth.
"You're Mr. Parker's Dad, aren't you?" Kate asked Booth as she wrote down wt happened on the way to school that morning.
"How'd you guess?" Seeley said smiling.
"You mentioned having a son named Parker." Kate said. "And Uncle Toby just glanced over at you. I gotta know who my babysitting competition is."
"I just think it's really weird that Diane and Rebecca live next to each other." Tobias said. "Small world, huh?"
"Don't get me started on that damn ride." Kate said. "Callen made me go on it twice when we went to Disney because I wouldn't stop singing the pirate song."
"How old were you, seven?" Tobias asked. "It's expected, you were little and excited."
Kate smirked. "Yeah well, look where we are ten years later…"
Tobias sighed and shook his head at Kate's dramatics.
Booth shrugged and Kate just kept writing.
Five minutes later Kate threw down her pen. "Finished!" she cried triumphantly. "Now what?"
"You go do the same thing at NCIS." Booth said without missing a beat.
"Can't you make a photo copy or something?" Kate asked.
"That would be cheating." Booth said. "And Director Vance made it very clear to my boss that he wants a handwritten statement from the both of you."
Kate nodded and met up with Becky in the hallway where they were escorted to the elevators. Alex, Kate's sometimes body guard, met them in the lobby of the building to take them to the Naval Yard.
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
A half hour later Kate sat in her dad's office chair sulking as she was on facebook and Becky was at McGee's desk doing the same. Kate was upset because she really did have to rewrite her statement because Leon "I'm the Boss Now" Vance said she had to.
"So…." Becky said as they waited for the team to appear in the Bull Pen. "Wanna watch The Princess Bride?"
"Sure." Kate said as she got up and headed for Tony's desk to find the DVD. "Tony's got it here somewhere."
Becky smiled, "Inconceivable!"
"Why do you keep using that word?" Kate asked doing her imitation of Inigo Montoya. "I do not think it means what you think it means."
The two girls burst into peals of giggles as Kate put the DVD in the computer and put the computer screen up on the plasma screen behind her Dad's desk. They commandeered Tony and Tim's chairs and settled in to watch the most amazing love story of all time.
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
March 2009
"KATE!" Kate put her English book, The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, down on her bed and went down stairs to see what her father wanted.
"What's up?" Kate asked as she came down the stairs.
"We caught the people behind the body dumps that caused your accident." Jethro said as he headed for the kitchen.
"So it took you like a month and a half to crack the case?" Kate asked curiously as she hopped up on the island top.
"It went cold after a week." Jethro said. "They covered their tracks a little too well."
"So how'd you find them?" Kate asked as she played with an apple from the bowl of fruit next to her.
"They slipped up." Jethro said as he made himself a sandwich. "Off the island."
Kate hopped off and asked. "Slipped up, how?"
"Somebody left his prints all over one vic's wallet. Abby didn't have a chance to run them until last week, and then we brought down part of the DC Mob."
"No way!" Kate said. "The Mob?"
"Nah." Jethro said. "I just wanted to see your reaction."
"Then who?" Kate asked eagerly.
"Serial killer from Bethesda. You don't need to know the name." Jethro said in reply.
"No fun." Kate said good naturedly. "But thanks for letting me know. I'm gonna go call Becky and tell her."
"Kate," Jethro said to his daughter who lingered in the doorway.
"Yeah, Dad?" Kate replied.
"If you two are going out tonight, stay out of trouble."
"Always try to." Kate replied and disappeared up the stairs.
When Jethro went up to her room to let her know he was going back to work her heard her talking on the phone with Becky,
"…and then Dad told me it was the DC Mob! And I bought it!" Kate laughed and listened to what Becky had to say. "Yeah, I know. Turns out it was just some serial killer from Maryland. No, he won't tell me the name either."
Jethro smiled and headed back out the front door and back to the Naval Yard to process the serial killer who had just narrowly missed adding his daughter to the list of victims.
~o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o~
