The Shocking Discovery Chapter 9
One Thursday morning at 0845, a Navy Officer was driving; talking on the phone to someone when suddenly a car comes by and the person who is driving the car pulls a gun at the Navy Officer and shoots him.
The car goes off of the road, hitting a tree and the phone was laying on the ground.
At NCIS Headquarters...
Gibbs had just got a call about a dead Navy Officer and when he got off of the phone Tony was doing something crazy.
Standing up from his desk, he walked around it, and he slaps Tony on the back of the head.
"Let's go. Dead Navy Officer" Said Gibbs
The crew grabbed their gear and headed out
They head to the crime scene with Ducky and Palmer following behind them. When they got there, they got out of the vehicles and had a look around first.
Ducky then gets the body temperature to tell the time of death, Tony searches the car, and McGee spots the phone.
Ducky finds out the time of death and says not more than 24 hours ago and tells Gibbs that the Navy Officer was shot in the head.
After Ducky tells Gibbs that the Navy Officer was shot in the head brought back a painful memory of Kate Todd.
Gibbs goes over to the dead Navy Officer's car and starts to have a flashback of the day that Kate was killed.
When Gibbs comes back to reality, Ducky tells him he'll know more when they get started on the autopsy.
Once they arrived back at the Headquarters, McGee took the box of evidence down to Abby's lab so she can start processing them.
Abby takes the box of evidence and starts tests' and McGee is doing a trace on the phone while Ducky gets the results of who the Navy Officer is.
Ducky does the autopsy and he finds out who the Navy Officer is. His name is Ryan Dempster.
When Gibbs came down to autopsy for a report on Ducky's findings, he heads up to the bullpen to round up his team and goes to the base and talks to the CO.
They go and talk to the CO and finds out what Ryan was doing, asking if he was married or had a girlfriend. The CO tells them the wife's name and they go visit her off base and gives her the bad news. McGee and Ziva has gone back to base after telling Ryan's wife the bad news to check his computer and anything they can find.
A the time, they couldn't find anything. Gibbs heads upstairs to talk to the director about the case. Gibbs talks to him and finds out that he will be working with another agency on this case, he calls Mike Franks in to help. It's a serious issue dealing with a group overseas.
Gibbs and Ziva heads to the wife's house and talks to her while Ziva looks around for something. Now he talks to her and she says she hasn't seen him in a day and Ziva finds some bank statements.
While McGee searches in the bank statements, Gibbs goes back down to autopsy and talks to Abby.
Ducky fins a piece of fiber stuck in his fingers and sends it to Abby for samples. Mike makes some calls to get information while Gibbs, Ziva, and Tony heads back to the base and chats with the CO. When they are chatting with the CO and the others; they find out that he's been secretly seeing someone else.
McGee finds something very interesting and tells Gibbs and he goes to talk with the wife about it. McGee found a large sum of money in the statement and Gibbs asks questions about it. Gibbs asks her about it but she doesn't know anything about it, while Tony and Ziva searches for the mystery person.
It's now lunch time and somebody from the team goes to get something and Gibbs goes down to hang out with Abby while the others are having their lunch break. They start talking about anything that's not work related.
"So, Gibbs I was thinking that..." Said Abby as she started to play with her hands
"Thinking that what?" Questions Gibbs, he was sitting on a stool next to her
"Well I was thinking that we could go and visit Jackson this weekend. I think it's about time you and your father should patch things up."
"Well I could if he would talk to me. Maybe I'll give it a try to talk to him" Said Gibbs tugging on one of her pigtails
Gibbs and Abby are talking and hanging out while Tony and McGee goes to the base and finds out what kind of person Ryan was.
Taking his cell phone off of the clip from his pants, he dialed Jackson's number and waited patiently for him to answer.
After the third ring...
"Hello Leroy, is that you?" Said Jackson at the other end of the phone
"Yeah, Dad it's me. I want to patch things up with you I'd like to come see you to tell you some news."
"What news?" Asked Jackson with an eyebrow raised
"I'll tell you when I get there." Replied Gibbs
"When are you coming down?" Asked Jackson
"This weekend." Answered Gibbs who was looking at Abby for confirmation
She just nodded her head 'yes'
"See you then. Take care" Said Jackson
They both disconnected the call and they get back to work
"It will take some time to find out the results from the murder weapon." Said Abby as she was dusting for prints on the gun and running it through the system
Now, Ziva and Gibbs is going over the crime scene again to make sure they didn't miss anything.
McGee is till working on the bank statements and is close to finding something interesting.
Mike finds out that a group of people overseas is involved with arms dealing with that person.
Gibbs interrogates the Sergeant about what's happening also Tony and McGee goes to pick up the mystery person as well and brings her in for questioning.
Gibbs then gets the DNA from them both and give it to Abby.
During the interrogation, McGee walks in and hands Gibbs the bank statements and asks them about it.
Gibbs walks out of the room and Mike tells him about what he has discovered overseas. It was a shipment of weapons delivered to the states. He finds out that the Sergeant was involved and they just needed the DNA to confirm it.
Now, Gibbs is talking to the mystery woman about the affair and the mystery woman says it was going on for about 4 months.
Gibbs goes down to Abby's lab to see the results and he tells Abby good work with a kiss on the cheek. Then he goes back and talks to the Sergeant one more time. He talks to him and shows him the bank statements and the phone log where he had made several calls too.
After Gibbs got the Sergeant to confess, Tony comes into the interrogation room, handcuffs him and takes him out. Then Gibbs goes down to Abby's lab.
Down in Abby's lab...
Abby is listening to some music and Gibbs sneaks up behind her.
He leans into her personal space, takes one of the ear pieces out, and whispers into her ear.
"Listening to anything good?" Asked Gibbs as he whispered into her ear
Abby jumps
"Gibbs! You scared me" Shrieked Abby as she turns around and gives him a 'typical Abby hug'
They hug and they start talking then they start to kiss, that's when Mike walks in
"About bloody time you two. How long has this been going on for? I didn't know it was serious between the 2 of you" Said Mike sounding surprised and happy
Gibbs and Abby pull apart
"We only have been together for almost 4 months." Said Abby looking from Gibbs to Mike
"I'm happy for the both of you. I didn't think you two would ever get together, Probe" Said Mike
"Yeah well... Are you heading back to Mexico?" Asked Gibbs
"What are you trying to do Probe? Get rid of me" Said Mike
"No. I just thought you'd want to get back to your tequila" Said Gibbs
Abby then takes Gibbs aside
"Can I ask you something? Can Mike come over for dinner" Asked Abby
"Yeah sure." Replied Gibbs
Abby and Gibbs gets back to Mike
"Hey Mike?" Asked Abby
"Yeah darlin'?" Said Mike
"Do you want to come over for dinner at Gibbs'?" Asked Abby
"I would love to join the 2 of you for dinner before I go" Replied Mike
"Hey Abbs, me and Mike are going upstairs. Come up when you're done" Said Gibbs
"Alright, Boss man." Said Abby
With that, Gibbs and Mike head up to the bullpen.
Upstairs in the bullpen...
While Tony is using the 'Head', Ziva tries to get into his computer and McGee is on the lookout.
She is almost in until Tony comes back and he catches her.
"Ahh what are you doing at my desk Ziva?" Asked Tony as he entered the bullpen
"I was looking for something but couldn't find it" Answered Ziva as she walks away from his desk
Gibbs and Mike come out of the elevator and Mike follows Gibbs to his desk.
"Have you and Abby moved in together yet or have you even talked about it?" Asked Mike
Gibbs pauses for a few minutes
"No. We haven't talked about it yet but we will" Answered Gibbs as he grabbed his coat from the top of the filing cabinet
A few seconds later...
Abby steps out of the elevator and walks over to Gibbs' desk
"I'm ready to go" Said Abby
They start to leave and Gibbs turns his desk light off and goes to the elevator.
When they get outside to the parking lot, Gibbs and Abby get into the Challenger and Mike follows them to Gibbs' house.
On their way to Gibbs' house, Gibbs calls in ahead of time and he has it delivered to his house.
Once they get to Gibbs house and inside, Gibbs and Abby goes to put some comfortable clothes on and they go into the sitting room.
Gibbs and Mike sits on the couch while Abby goes to get some drinks.
Abby returns from the kitchen with 3 bottles of beer in her hands and she hands one to Gibbs and Mike.
"So, when did the two of you really start having feelings for one another?" Asked Mike as he took the bottle cap off of his beer
"7 months ago. After that, we started dating for a few months until it got serious." Replied Abby
There's a knock on the door and Gibbs goes to answer it and it's the delivery guy.
Gibbs hands him the money, the delivery guy hands him the food, and Gibbs just slams the door in his face.
Gibbs walks though the sitting room into the kitchen and Abby and Mike follow him.
Abby and Mike talks while they are walking behind him as they get ready to eat.
They sit down, gets the food out of the bag, they start eating and talking.
"So probie, what does Jackson think about you two?" Asked Mike as he took a drink of his beer
"We haven't told him yet but we are this weekend. We're going down to visit him." Said Gibbs as he took a drink of beer also
They finish eating and they talk some more.
About an hour later...
"It's getting late. Need to head out soon" Said Mike as he stands up
Gibbs and Abby stand up as well and they say 'be careful going back to Mexico.'
Gibbs gives Mike a hug and he steps back so Abby can give Mike a hug too.
"Well Adios Amigos" Said Mike as he walked though the sitting room and walked out
After he leaves, Gibbs starts to clean up the table and Abby starts to help him.
With Tony...
Tony goes back to his apartment, changes into something comfortable, gets something to eat, and starts watching movies.
While he's watching a movie, he decides to call Ziva and ask her if she has any plans or not.
Tony gets his phone, goes to his contacts list, finds Ziva name, and presses the 'send' button to make the call.
With Ziva...
Sh was doing nothing at the time and then her cell phone was ringing.
She picks it up from the table, looks at the caller id, and sighs.
"What Tony?" Said Ziva as she put her phone up to her ear
"Would you like to come over and watch some movies?" Asked Tony
"Is this a date?" Questioned Ziva
"No. Only friends hanging out watching movies" Answered Tony
"Yes I would." Said Ziva, curious
"See you when you get here." Said Tony
Then they both hung up
So, Tony gets off of the couch, goes into the kitchen, gets a bag of popcorn from a cabinet, pops it into the microwave, and goes to the fridge to get drinks out.
2 minutes later...
He takes the popcorn out of the microwave and takes the drinks with him into the living room.
He then puts the popcorn into a big bowl, sets it on the table, walks over to put a movie in, walks back to the couch, and sits down to wait for Ziva to arrive.
About 20 minutes later...
Outside of Tony's apartment complex, Ziva finds a parking spot, gets out of the car, locks it, walks into the building, and heads up to Tony's floor.
She walks up a flight of stairs, walks down the hallway, sees his door, goes to it, knock, and Tony answers it.
"Shalom Tony" Said Ziva
Tony opened the door wider and stepped aside so Ziva could come in.
Ziva stepped inside, Tony closed the door, they walked into the living roo, sat down on the couch, and started to watch some movies.
While the movie was starting, they picked up their drinks from the coffee table.
A couple of hours passed, Tony looks over at Ziva and she's asleep so he quietly gets up, goes to his room to get a spare blanket, he comes back, covers her up, kisses her forehead, and goes to his bedroom to get some shut eye.
With McGee...
He is at his apartment sitting at his computer desk on the computer playing a game where you can talk to people all around the world.
"You two casters and healer stay to the left and the melee on my right. You're all got your assignments and you know the tactics. I'll pull in 5 seconds when we're all ready." Said McGee into his microphone that was attached to headphones
"Copy that" Said the other person
The three characters took their battle stations and waited for further instructions
One.. two.. three..
"ready"
four.. five
'And attack" Said McGee into the microphone as his character started running towards the other characters attacker
It took several minutes to beat them and they advanced to the next level.
McGee started the next level then he saved the game so he can pick up where he left off.
After he saved it, he signed off and then he started to work more on his story.
With Ducky...
He is sitting in the living room with his mother while she is watching jeopardy and he was reading a mystery novel about a murder.
He starts reading it then his mother has one of those fits so he goes to get her into bed.
After he gets his mother in bed. Ducky takes the dogs out for the night. While he watches the dogs run around in the yard, he starts to think about the Marine Ball and what happened between Jethro and Abigail.
With Gibbs and Abby...
Mike had just left a few minutes ago and they were cleaning up after having dinner. After they cleaned up, Abby went to help Gibbs pack for the weekend.
After that, Gibbs takes Abby to her apartment so she can pack as well. He drops her off and he starts to head back home and he calls his dad letting him know he was leaving the next day.
When he gets off of the phone with his dad, he goes down to the basement to work on the boat for a little bit before he goes to sleep.
The next morning...
