The Shocking Discovery
Monday morning at 0700
A person was jogging by the building that he lives in and from out of the corner of his eye, he spots something in the dumpster by the second window of the first floor.
The person walks over to the dumpster and lifts the lid up to find a dead person wearing some kind of a uniform.
At the NCIS Headquarters
"Gear up" Said Gibbs as he came into the bullpen to his desk to grab his badge and his gun
"What do we got boss?" Asked DiNozzo as he got up from his desk and grabbed his bookbag
"A dead Marine in Quanito. He was found in a dumpster by an apartment building" Answered Gibbs
The three agents grabbed their stuff and trolled behind their boss to the elevator
A few minutes later...
"Time of death, Duck?" Asked Jethro as he held a notepad and a pen in his hand
He is wearing his NCIS uniform which is a hat and a jacket that has NCIS in white letters on the front of the hat and on the back of the jacket.
"Time of death; 1600 2 days ago. I won't know more until I get him back to the morgue." Answered Doctor Mallard as he pulled the thermometer out of the Marines' stomach
The Marine wasn't wearing his name tag and he didn't have his wallet on him but maybe his killer took it.
So, McGee had to use a finger scanner to find out who the Marine was and when the machine finished the scan it showed that the Marines' name was James Wilson.
"His name is James Wilson. Married, no kids, and he was on leave." Said McGee as he read the information from the finger scanner
"Timothy, help me roll him to his side" Said Doctor Mallard
With that, McGee held James up to his side so Doctor Mallard can see if there is an exit wound. There was an exit wound on the other side of his right shoulder so the bullet might be somewhere in the dumpster or on the ground.
"McGee, DiNozzo, and Ziva; you three will have to go dumpster diving to look for the bullet." Said Gibbs "Don't come back to the Navy Yard until you've found it"
"But Boss" Whined Tony
"Stop you're whining DiNozzo!" Yelled Gibbs as he started walking towards the Charger
With that, Gibbs got into the Charger and sped down the road.
Ducky and Palmer had left a little over 2 minutes ago; with James Wilson's body wrapped up in a black body bag on the gurney in the back of the ME's truck.
5 minutes later...
"I found it" Yelled Ziva as she picked the bloody bullet up
Tony and McGee stopped digging and looked over at Ziva who had the bullet in a container.
"Well I guess we can go back to the Navy Yard now" Said Tony
So, they got out of the dumpster, they got into the Charger that they arrived in and drove off down the road. It was Tony who was driving
Back at the Navy Yard...
In Abby's lab
Abby was typing fearlessly on the keyboard running a piece of evidence though her favorite data base called 'AFAS.'
Using his handy sniper skills, Gibbs walked quietly into the lab holding a Caf Pow in his hand.
Now he was standing behind her
"What do you got, Abs?" Asked Gibbs as he put the Caf Pow down in front of her
Abby jumped slightly
"Jeez Gibbs, why do you always sneak up on me like that?" Asked Abby as she went back to typing
"I don't know. I guess I just love the effect that I have on you" Said Gibbs
"You know one of these days your sniper skills will get you into trouble" Said Abby with a cheeky smile
Gibbs raised an eyeborw
"What?" Asked Abby
"Oh really?" Asked Gibbs playing along
"Really." Answered Abby giving him her best stare
They both knew that this was a dangerous territory they were getting their selves into but they were just playing along with one another.
"Abs, your computer is blinking" Said Gibbs
Abby turned her attention back to the computer to find a line graph showing what kind of elements are in the evidence.
Sh just had just done testing the bloodstains from the Marines uniform that James Wilson was wearing.
Abby started to explain the results from the bloodstains but Gibbs had no idea what she was talking about because well he wasn't no expert in forensics.
"Come on, Abbs. In English" Said Gibbs as he suddenly became impatient
"It's rat poison and heroine, Gibbs." Said Abby
"That's good work, Abbs." Said Gibbs as he leaned forward to place a kiss to her cheek
'Oh geez, here comes the 'flutter of the heart' feeling again' Thought Abby
…
Just about as Gibbs reached the doorway leading into the hallway, Abby called out his names.
"Gibbs, wait! I have to ask you something" Said Abby
Special Leroy Jethro Gibbs turned around and walked back to where Abby was.
"Yes, Abbs?" Asked Gibbs
"I'm just going to come right out and say it; when are we going to have our first date?" Asked Abby slightly jumpy and excited
Gibbs thought for a moment and then an idea struck him
"You know the Marine ball that we have every year?" Asked Gibbs as he felt slightly like a teenager asking a girl out on their first date
"Why yes I do." Answered Abby
"Would you like to go with me?" Asked Gibbs
"Yes. But on one condition" Said Abby as a picture started to form in her mind
"And what is that?" Asked Gibbs, curious
"You have to wear your Marine uniform." Replied Abby with a cheeky smile plastered on her face
"Alright, deal." Answered Gibbs
"So, it's a date?" Questioned Abby
"It's a date." Stated Gibbs, giving Abby a peak on the cheek
Upstairs in the squad room...
The three agents were at their desk looking for a lead.
All they had to work with was; the rat poison & the heroine, James is married to a redhead named Emily Wilson, age 32, works at a hotel, and her credit card records state that she had purchased a gun 3 years ago but they don't have enough evidence that would point out that she killed her own husband.
While Gibbs went to go see if Abby or Ducky had found anything, the three agents looked at Emily and James' background and several of their family and friends had guns.
42 hours later...
The team had just wrapped up the case and it turned out to be one of James' old friends named Mike Miller who had injected the rat poison and the heroine into James' system. After Tony had picked him up and took him to interrogation, it took Gibbs 30 minutes to get him to confuse that he killed James. The reason why he killed James was that James had owed Mike money 2 years ago for a gun.
Flashback
2 years ago
It was in the middle of winter, the temperature was below 25 degrees, and out was covered in a sheet of white snow.
James Wilson, age 31 was at home when his cell phone rang. He grabbed his phone from his dresser and looked at the caller id; it was his friend, Mike.
"Hey man, what's up?" Asked James
"Nothing. Hey listen, my friend Brian just brought the gun that you wanted over here. Do you still want it?" Asked Mike from the other line
"Yeah, I'll stop by after work to pick it up, alright?" Asked James
"Alright. I'll be here. I'll see you later man" Answered Mike
With that, they both hung up and got ready for work.
1700 (5:00 pm) hours later...
James had just got off of work and now he was in front of Mike's house. He parked his car in a empty parking spot and walked up the path that led to Mike's front door.
About 15 minutes later...
James came out of Mike's house carrying a red duffel bag with a handgun inside it. Then he went home and placed the gun inside a safe.
End of flashback
The rest of the week went by and since the team hasn't had any cases, they spent the rest of the week catching up on paperwork. After that, Gibbs told them to go home and come in on Monday at 0600 and that he'll see them at the Marine Ball on Saturday which would be tomorrow.
Saturday Morning...
With Abby
It's 9:00am and the sun was making its way through Abby's bedroom window. Abby's head popped out from under the black covers and blinked her eyes for a few seconds. After that, she stretched out her body like a cat does in the morning. She looked around the room before setting her feet on the floor, she realizes that the floor is still chilly and so she slips on a pair of black fuzzy slippers with skull heads on the end. She yawned and realized that today is the big day, jumping out of bed she turns on her favorite song while dancing towards her closet. She opens the closet door while humming along with the song trying to find the shirt that Gibbs favors. She pulls out a black v-neck shirt with pins holding the open part together,there was a picture of a skeleanimal cat on it.
She grabs a short light pink plaid skirt before heading into the bathroom, she washes her face, and brushes her hair. She puts her hair up in her usual Abby pig tails but does a zig-zag pattern on her hair. She looked up in the mirror and smiled leaning forward applying make-up. She knew tonight would be on a actual date with her silver-haired fox, she jumped slightly accidentally getting some lipstick on her chin, she wiped it off and got dress ,walking into the kitchen she poured a glass of orange juice and made some eggs.
She turned her music off and got one good look in the mirror before putting on matching (pink plaid) knee socks and her combat boots. After that, she headed outside where her 1931 Ford Coupe hot rod was and drove to the DC mall. After parking in a spot at the DC mall she headed in knowing exactly where she was going, after walking five feet she stop infront of a shop n blood red lighting letters read "Punk Rock Bridal" with bow tie at the end of bridal,there were some dresses already on display in the window for people to see.
When she walks in she hears a "Hello, Abigail." Abby smiles as a short lady with thick red glasses came out from behind the curtain of the store, "What can I do for you?". She was half the size of Abby and had a black business suit on with a black widow brouch and black pumps.
"Hello Victoria" Said Abby "Remember that older gentlemen I talk about and won't keep quiet."
Victoria nodded
"He asked me to the ball and I need a dress that would wow him." Said Abby
Victoria smiled and nodded saying "Of course there are some dresses that are very chic today."
Victoria disappeared
2 minutes later...
Victoria reappeared with a dress and handed it to Abby.
Abby then walks into a dressing room and puts the dress on. The first dress was long with lace around the collar and it was hot pink. She stepped out, walked over to the 3 mirrors, and looked at herself through the three different angels of the mirror. She loved it but it reminded her of the outfit she wore when Kate Todd. She went back into the dressing room and changed wearing a black fluffy robe.
Abby handed the dress back to Victoria.
"Getting close" Said Abby
Looking around the store, Victoria found another dress. She walked over to Abby and handed it to her.
Abby changed and looked at herself in the mirror, the dress is Victorian that had a corset top with black roses. She smiled.
"I love it but this is something that they would know I wear. I need something that..." Said Abby
"That would make him melt into a puddle of water." Said Victoria finishing Abby's sentence "Then I have something that you might like. I made this one myself, you would look perfect in it"
Abby took the dress from Victoria's grip, went back into the dressing room.
1 minute later...
Abby stepped out, she stepped ontp the stool and gasped.
"It's perfect, Victoria!" Said Abby as she stepped down from the stool and hugged her friend
"I knew you would like it, always save the best for last." Said Victoria's
Abby smiled at herself in the mirror
"I have the accessories that would go perfect with it" Said Victoria
Later at the Ball...
It was a warm night as the moon shined brightly down at the Hilton Hotel where the Marine ball was taking place inside. Gibbs was pacing around wondering why Abby is taking so long, Ducky was telling a story to Ziva about the first time he went to a ball. Ziva just nodded and kept a small grip on Ryan who was her date for the night. On the other side of her, Tony was of course talking about how many good looking woman was there and betting McGee that he could get a number before the end of the night. McGee of course just shook his head trying to ignore him.
The song that was playing was 'Beautiful' by Akon and you will see why
Gibbs looked as his watch and wondered if Abby would ever show up... suddenly he spotted her.
Abby walks in, she had a silk black dress with no strapes, the dress clinging to her body showing off her curves. She has a Gothic necklace on; it has a red heart in the middle, and the chain is silver. She also is wearing black high heels that are 5 inches up from the ground.
'When I see you
I run out of words to say
I wouldn't leave you
'Cause you're that type of girl to make me stay'
As Abby walks across the floor to where the team was, Gibbs sees her, he freeze's, his jaw drops to the floor, and the sight takes his breath away.
Abby stops in front of Gibbs and smiles.
"You okay? Looks like you've seen a ghost" Questioned Abby
Gibbs just stood there; still amazed at how she looks until Ducky elbowed him softly
"You going to ask this beautiful young lady to dance?" Asked Ducky as he smiled
"Would you like to dance?" Asked Gibbs to Abby as he extended his hand to her who gladly accepted it.
With that, they headed onto the dance floor when the next song started to play and the song is called 'So Close' by John McLaughlin
…
Once they reached the dance floor, Gibbs and Abby turned towards each other; Gibbs gently pulls her closer to him, he took her hand in his, placed the other hand on her waist and then they started to sway back and forth to the music.
'You're in my arms
And all the world is gone
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive'
The team stared in aw. Ducky was astonished for them. Ziva thought that it was normal. Tony was thinking that someone's finally getting it on. McGee was a little jealous but deep down he knew that Abby would still be his friend and that she and Gibbs would be happy.
'A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close'
After the song ended, Abby pulled back from Gibbs, they stared at each other for a moment, and they... finally kissed. The kiss was short and sweet. They both pulled back, smiled at each other, and walked over to where the team was.
This is where you can find the dress, high heels, and the necklace that Abby wore
