A few hours later, Abby called Charity down to the lab. Burley came down with her. They walked in. "What do ya got Abs?" They asked in unison. Charity reached up and slapped Burley upside the head.
"Sorry boss." He said.
Abby smiled briefly then she turned to her computer. "There were four different blood samples on the knife." Abby answered. "As we already know, one sample belongs to our Marine and one belongs to our Sailor."
"Who do the others belong to?" Burley asked.
"Well one of them belongs to a Jane Doe that is in the countty morgue." Abby answered. "The fourth sample is so small that it has to belong to our killer."
"Does the fourth sample match Julia?" Charity asked.
"No." Abby answered. "But the Jane Doe is her mother."
"Was the killer caught?" Burley inquired.
"No." Abby answered. "The DNA of the killer is definitely male. I'm running it through all databases right now."
"Whose in charge of the investigation into the mother's murder?" Charity asked.
"Metro." Abby answered.
Charity turned to Burley. "Contact Metro and find out who is running the investigation, then we'll get their files from them."
At Metro...
Tony and Dan sat at their desks. They were still recovering from their wounds. At the moment they were filling out reports. Just then Detective John Daniels and his partner Detective Amy Wills walked over.
"How's your case coming?" Tony asked John.
"Good." He answered. "Just got a call from NCIS though. Looks like I'm finally going to get to meet your little fed."
"What are you talking about?" Tony asked.
"My case crossed with NCIS."
"Our case." Amy corrected.
"Quiet Probie." John told Amy.
Amy just rolled her eyes once he turned his head. What a jerk. She thought.
"They have the knife that was used to kill my Jane Doe." John replied. "And apparently I'll be working with your fiance. I hear she's a bit of a hard ass."
"She has a team to lead." Tony replied. "And she gets the job done."
John just waved him off. "All it is is because she's a woman. She thinks she's got something to prove."
What a pig. Amy thought to herself as she glared at him.
"She has nothing to prove." Tony countered. "She's a very capable investigator. She could also wipe the floor with you if she wanted."
"A little touchy I see." John replied. Then he turned to Amy. "Come on Probie. Let's go." Then he and Amy were gone.
"How long do you think he's gonna last with Charity?" Dan asked Tony.
"Not long at all." Tony answered. "She's gonna have him for breakfast."
Back at NCIS...
Charity sat at her desk. She had just been told that they were going to have to work with Metro. One of them was new to the force. The other was an older man, he'd been with Metro for quite a while.
The elevator doors opened and an older man stepped out with a young woman. Charity knew then that they were the detectives from Metro. They were carrying boxes. The boxes contained files and evidence.
Charity stood up as they approached. The man had a look of distaste on his face. Looks like we get Mr. Sunshine. Charity thought to herself. The man roughly put the file box down on Charity's desk. "You must be Charity Gibbs." He said, his tone just as sour as his face.
"Special Agent Charity Gibbs." Charity corrected, her tone instantly hardening. "You must be Detective John Daniels."
"We brought all of our files and evidence." The woman spoke up. "I'm Detective Amy Wills."
"Hush Probie." John said.
Oh, yeah. I get to deal with the giant asshole. Charity thought. Just then the phone at her desk rang. She saw that the extension was Abby's lab. "You have something for me, Abs?" Charity asked.
"Yup." Abby answered. "I need you to come down here right away."
"Be right there." Charity said and then hung up the phone. Then she looked up at the detectives. "You two are with me. Ziva, you're coming too."
The group hopped on the elevator and headed down to the lab. John and Amy were bringing their evidence down. The ride was spent in uncomfortable silence. They stepped off and headed for the lab.
"What is it Abs?" Charity asked, as they entered the room.
"The girl, Julia, was drugged." Abby answered.
"With what?" Charity asked.
"It's a new drug." Abby answered. "I'm not sure what exactly it is."
"What do you think it did to her?" Charity asked.
"Ducky and I are working on that." Abby answered. "From the chemicals that were used in the drug, we think that it made her mind easily bendable. Like any suggestion, she was given, she would do."
"Almost a mind control drug?" Charity asked.
"Something like that, yes." Abby answered.
"Abby, I want you to continue to do what you do. I also need you to look through the evidence the detectives brought over." Then she turned to Amy. "Amy, you can stay here and help Abby."
"Wait a second, Amy is my person. You can order your people are all you want, but not mine." John said.
Charity turned a deadly blue gaze on him. "Look, Detective NCIS is lead on this investigation. I'm the leader of this team, therefore you work for me at the moment. You and your people will take orders from me and if you don't like that, that's your problem. You have to suck it up and deal with it."
