Kate Samantha and Tony came in to see a package on McGee's desk. "Ohhh McGoogle got a package." Tony said.
"That we aren't gonna open before he gets here." Samantha said to Tony.
"Ok fine." Tony said sitting at his desk.
Tim came in and smiled. "Oh goody it's here." He said.
"Who says goody?" Tony asked.
"What is it?" Kate asked coming over to his desk.
McGee pulled out an old computer. "This is my old MAC SE. Got it for my 11th birthday. She was my first." Tim said.
"This is gonna get really strange isn't it?" Tony asked Kate.
"Going to?" Kate asked.
"Wait Samantha didn't you have a mac before highschool?" Tony asked.
"No I had an apple. That I had to clean out cause of you." Samantha said.
Gibbs came in. "Gear up." Gibbs said grabbing his gun.
"What we got?" Tony asked.
"Petty officer Lynn was killed." Gibbs said walking around his desk towards the elevator.
"Get your mittens it's cold out there." Gibbs said.
SCENE
Ducky and Jimmy pull up arguing about roads. "Lovers quarrel Ducky?" Gibbs asked.
"Mr Palmer got us lost again." Ducky said.
"I'm sorry but I'm not stupid to think that J comes after I. At least in the American alphabet it is." Jimmy said. Ducky went off on a rant about the alphabets.
When Kate gets a call about something. "I'll be there." Kate said.
"We'll get the body back to NCIS." Ducky said.
"Ok." Kate said heading off.
Samantha was looking at something when a commotion happened she saw a woman coming at Ducky. She got her gun out and screamed. "STOP NCIS." Tony who was talking with someone heard the fear in Samantha's voice touched Gibbs' arm and ran back to the scene.
"Ducky?" Samantha asked as the woman runs away.
"I'm fine. It's just a defensive wound." Ducky said holding his hand up for them to see the knife went through his hand.
HOSPITAL
Abby walked into the hallway where the receptionist told her to go. Jimmy stood up when she came through. "Where's Ducky?" Abby asked Samantha.
"He's in the trauma room. Should be out in a few minutes." Samantha said.
Palmer looked at Abby. "You're so.... Calm." He said.
"I am. If I keep going to crazy town every time one of gets hurts. I'd have to have my mail forwarded there." Abby said to Jimmy.
Just then a couple of nurses rolled Ducky through. "Hey Ducky." Samantha said.
"Dear Samantha. Glad you could come." Ducky said.
"Ducky." Abby said.
"Abby? Ooh how kind of you to visit." Ducky said.
"Oh they gave you morphine." Abby said.
"Just a drop. Oh Mr Palmer please call dr. ahhh.... Jordan." Ducky said.
"Dr, Hampton?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes. On my desk you'll find her number, while I my self lay here getting much numer." Ducky said giggling.
"I'll go get Gerald here in a few minutes and bring him here." Samantha said.
"Oh good. Nurse more anesthetic and don't spare the horses." Ducky said as the nurses's pushed him away.
"Does Morphine make you that loopy?" Jimmy asked.
"You should know Palmer. You went to medical school." Gibbs said.
"Samantha you were on Morphine. Were you that out of it." Jimmy asked.
"Not what I remember of it." Samantha said.
"I'll walk you to the car so you can go tell Gerald." Gibbs said placing his hand on Samantha's back.
MALLARD RESIDENCE
Samantha got out of her car and went and knocked on the door. Mrs Mallard answered it. "Yes?" She asked.
"Hi Mrs. Mallard. I'm Samantha Dinozzo. I work with your son." Samantha said smiling.
"Oh you're the dear girl who was pregnant that Donald kept talking about." Mrs Mallard said.
"Yes Ma'am. Is Gerald home?" Samantha asked.
"The black servant? I'll get him. But you should know that he's taken with my son." Mrs Mallard said.
"I'm aware. Can I speak with Gerald?" Samantha asked.
"Lillian let Samantha in. I think Robert is waiting to take you for a walk ." Gerald said.
"Ohhh Robert I'm coming." Mrs Mallard said walking off.
Samantha smirked. "She's something." She said.
"Yes she is. But I take you're not here to discuss Mrs Mallard." Gerald said.
"No. Listen Gerald. Ducky was stabbed in his hand a while ago. I woulda called sooner but got stuck at the hospital. If you want I can stay with Mrs Mallard and you can go on." Samantha said.
"No. Robert can stay. You drive me? I can but all I have is his Morgan. He took my car this morning." Gerald said.
"Alright you wanna run talk with Robert?" Samantha asked.

Kate , Tony and McGee were watching a video that a busy body recorded on their cell phone of the attack. "Quit at staring and Sam's ass and concentrate on the woman McGee." Kate said smirking.
"I..... I wasn't." Tim spluttered.
"You wasn't what McGee?" Gibbs asked as he came in.
"Nothing boss." Tim said looking at the video.
"How's Ducky doing?" Kate asked.
"Should be fine. Lucky for him he's an ME." Gibbs said looking at the video.
"We found a video on youtube that someone posted about an hour ago." Tony said.
"Can we get a clear shot of the woman's face?" Gibbs asked.
"No too grainy. Sam might be able to tell me something to sketch." Kate said.
"Yeah. She went to tell Gerald." Gibbs said.
"And here I am back." Samantha said coming in dropping her bag on her desk.
"He get to the hospital ok?" Tony asked.

"A neighbor caught the attack on a camera phone and posted to YOUTUBE." Tim said.
"Do you think you could tell Kate the features of the woman enough to run a facial recognition program?" Gibbs asked.
"I can give it my best shot." Samantha said.

Samantha was at her desk working on the profile for the woman who attacked Ducky when Gibbs came in. "They released Ducky yesterday morning." Gibbs said setting his coffee down.
"Ain't that early?" Kate asked.
"They observed him bout all they needed to do." Samantha said.
"I went and saw him last night. He told me what happened in Afghanistan." Gibbs said.
"And?" Tony asked.
"Javid Daoub was a prisoner. He was tortured by someone called 'mr Pain'. He went to Ducky for help to be patched up." Gibbs said.
"So Ducky didn't kill him?" Tim asked.
"No. He did. But to ease his pain." Samantha said knowing where this story was going.
"How did you know that?" Kate asked.
"Read it somewhere. History is an amazing thing." Samantha said.
"So do we have a picture of this Mr Pain?" Tony asked.
"I do. Sent to all of you. Plus to Abby." Samantha said as her phone rang.
"Agent Dinozzo." She said.
"I'll see to it." Samantha said hanging up.
"Gerald Ducky left and he didn't say where he was going." Samantha said.
"I do. Call Gerald back tell him you'll be there to pick him up in 10 minutes. Then meet me at the Embassy." Gibbs said standing.
"What do you want us to do?" Tony asked.
"Find Mr Pain. And when you do bring him to the Embassy. I have a feeling we're gonna need a miracle to convince these people Ducky didn't kill this Javid guy for fun." Gibbs said heading out.

EMBASSY
Gerald Samantha Tony and Kate came in to see Gibbs talking to Ducky and the Ambassador. "Why is Donald turning himself in?" Gerald asked.

"Ok." Tony said. Once the two older men were in a room together. Mrs Daoub was ushered into room where the NCIS agents were standing watching the debate.
When the debate was all over everyone walked out of the room. "Doctor Mallard. There won't be any charges filed against you." The Ambassador said.

"Dr, Hampton." Gerald said kindly.
"Jimmy why don't we go and give Doctor Mallard and his friend some time." Jordan said.
Once they were out of the morgue Gerald crossed over to Ducky and held him as he cried. "Come on Old man let's go home and rest. I think it's time we got you some more pain medication." Gerald said pulling Ducky up.

GIBBS/DINOZZO HOUSE
Gracie and Tony were in the living room watching a movie. Samantha was washing the dinner dishes with Gibbs. "When Jimmy asked you about when you were on Morphine. You told him you don't remember. Do you not remember?" Gibbs asked.
Samantha dried her hands. "I remember waking up in immense pain sometimes and wanting to just go to sleep and not wake up in pain." Samantha said a few tears rolling down her cheek.
"Did you ever think of just surrendering to the morphine?" Gibbs asked.
Tony who was standing in the doorway cleared his throat. "Gracie requested that her Poppa come watch something with her before she has to go home." Tony said smirking.
"Yeah. This ain't over." Gibbs said to Samantha.
"Yeah I know." Samantha said going back to her task. Gibbs touched Tony's arm as he passed.
Looking into the living room seeing Jethro sit down and tickle Gracie Tony walked over and wrapped his arms around Samantha. Her sobbing shook her body and Tony kissed her head. "It's ok sweetgirl. It's gonna be ok." Tony said.
"I'm sorry." Samantha said through tears.
"I heard the question. And no one would blame ya if you thought of it one or two times." Tony said.
"You wouldn't?" Samantha said getting paper towel to dry her eyes.
"No. Samantha I watched you fight so hard to win that fight. One day I walked in and you were crying cause you were so much pain. As much as I love you it was all I could do not to reach over give you more morphine." Tony said wiping his eyes.
"Daddy?" Samantha asked confused.
"I couldn't sit there and watch you go through that Sammie. I just couldn't." Tony said tears rolling down his cheek. Samantha hugged Tony and they cried together.
