The Shocking Discovery Chapter 2

The Manager tells Tony and Ziva some of the names and a description of what the guys look like.

Tony and Ziva stood up from their seats

"If you can think of anything else, please give me a call." Said Tony as he pulled out a business card and gave it to the Manager

"Alright, no problem." Said the Manager

Tony and Ziva walked out of the Manager's office; walks out of the restaurant, goes over to the NCIS issued car, gets in, and drove off.

With Ducky in autopsy...

Ducky was jotting down notes on the autopsy report when his assistant, Jimmy Palmer came through the automatic doors.

"Ahh Mr. Palmer, could you please take this to Abby?" Said Ducky as he held up a container with some kind of fluid in it.

"Yes, doctor." Said Palmer as he took the container to Abby's lab so she can run it though the Mass Spec to identify the substance in the fluid.

After Palmer left, Ducky got up from his desk carrying a clipboard in his hand to the autopsy table with Jessica's lifeless body on it.

"Now that's see if you can tell us who you're killer is." Said Ducky as he began to inspect the body some more

A few minutes of inspecting the body again, Ducky spots something that's inside Jessica's arm. So, Ducky takes scalpel to her arm, makes a small cut, and takes the tweezers to take the round object out of her arm.

Next Ducky held the small round object to the light and he could see the letters RTC.

Meanwhile with Abby...

After Palmer brought the container to Abby, she started pacing up and down her lab again with a Caf Pow in her hand to analyze the situation she is in.

"Why haven't I seen this coming? I mean dating older men is a sign of maturity, but... wait a minute, I think I know when I fell in love with him (meaning Gibbs). I think it's when I was trapped in that evil automatic car, I was yelling for help, and when Gibbs came down to the evidence garage, he saved my life. That's when I realized that I'm afraid to lose him, I can't live without him, and I don't know what I'd do without him." Thought Abby out loud as she was starting to figure out that she's been in love with him the whole time that they've been working together.

To bring Abby out of her thoughts, Major Mass Spec beeped indicating that the test on the fluid was done; she walked over to the machine and looked at the small screen showing that the fluid had some kind of poison in it; it's called 'Cyanide.'

After that, she walked back over to her computer waiting for the results on the murder weapon. While she was waiting, she continued to analyze the situation with Gibbs she was currently in.

"Or was it that one night when I went to Gibbs' house to talk to him about the 20 year old case of Pedro Hernandez?" Then suddenly it hit her like a ton of bricks, she had asked him; how much she has been like a daughter to him, how much he loves her and that if he'll love her no matter what. He didn't say anything to her and all he did was stared at her.

Maybe he didn't see her as a daughter, she was going to find out sooner or later but she right now she has work to do and some of her machines need attention.

With Gibbs and McGee…

They had just arrived at Robert Patterson's house a few minutes ago when they were walking up the path that led them to the front door; they heard a noise coming from inside the house.

So then, they drew out their guns and Gibbs counted to 3 on his fingers indicating to McGee that on 3 was when they were going to kick in the door and yell 'NCIS put your hands up.'

1… 2… 3

Gibbs kicked in the door and McGee went inside the house then Gibbs followed

"NCIS!" Said Gibbs as he yelled through the house

Next, they followed where the noise was coming from and when they reached the room; what they saw was not pretty. What they saw was Robert lying on the floor covered in blood. Gibbs crouched down to Robert's body and then he found a note in the upper right hand corner pocket.

At this point, Gibbs put some gloves on, took the note out of Robert's pocket, and slowly unfolded it. It says;

'Hello Special Agent Gibbs.'

"Ahh! Hell, I hate it when this happens." Thought Gibbs as he took out his cell phone to call Ducky and Tony

A few minutes later…

"Time of death, Duck?" Said Gibbs

"Time of death: 1600 (which is 4:00 pm in regular time)." Said Ducky as he pulled out the temperature tool out of Rob's stomach

"I'll go get the gurney." Said Palmer as he walked away

"McGee?" Yelled Gibbs

McGee stuck his head in from around the corner.

"Yeah, Boss?" Asked McGee

"Bag and Tag." Said Gibbs

McGee just nodded his head and started bagging and tagging.

By that time, Palmer wheeled the gurney over to where Robert's body was and started helping Ducky to wrap his body into some kind of plastic martial. After that, they lifted his body up and into a black body bag that was on the gurney. After that, they lifted his body up and into a black body bag that was on the gurney. At last, Palmer wheeled the gurney out of the house and into the NCIS issued truck that he and Ducky take to get to the crime scenes.

As soon as the body was out of the way, Tony and Ziva started taking photos of stuff that was in the room where Robert was shot. While they were taking photos, Ziva bent down to get a closer shot of an object; Tony took this as a opportunity to take a picture of her ass.

FLASH!

A microsecond later…

SMACK!

This only meant one thing; Gibbs gave him one of his famous back of the head slaps.

"Oww, thanks boss." Said Tony as he rubbed the back of his head where Gibbs had slapped him for such rude behavior

"It better not happen again or you'll be on coffee duty all month!" Said Gibbs

DiNozzo nodded and went back to taking a few more photos.

Ziva started looking at the photos on the display screen of the camera making sure that they are all accurate.

"If you ever do that again; you'll be sleeping with paperclips through your eyelids." Said Ziva, slightly pissed and she wishes that he'll grow up already

Tony winced at the thought

"Alright, alright I'll stop!" Said Tony throwing his hands up in surrender

About 5 minutes later, they pick up the evidence and their equipment and then they head back to the Headquarters.

Back at the Headquarters…

Up in the bullpen with Abby

She was sitting at Gibbs' desk writing him a note to come and see her once he got back because she found something.

At that moment, the elevator went:

Ding!

The 'Ding!' indicated that the team was back from the crime scene. So, when the doors open Gibbs, the fearless leader came out of the elevator first with an empty coffee cup in his hand and the rest of the team followed him.

"Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs!" Shouted Abby from across the bullpen

Gibbs walks over to his desk and drops the empty coffee cup into the waste basket.

"What, Abbs?" Said Gibbs

"I found something that might give you another lead." Said Abby as she got up from his desk

"Alright, let's go. The rest of you; keep working" Said Gibbs as he walked out of the bullpen with Abby

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Tony pulled his feet to the top of his desk and leaned back. After that, he was about to get into his desk drawer to pull out a straw to through spit balls at McGee.

"Don't even think about it, Tony" Said McGee, not looking up from his computer

"But come on, McGoogle!" Said Tony

"No" Said McGee, slightly annoyed

To be continued…

What do you think is going to happen next?
