Abby’s Lab & Autopsy
Upon their arrival back at NCIS Headquarters, Gibbs and his team head straight down to Abby’s lab to hand over the evidence they have collected to be processed. “Hey Abb’s” Gibbs greats his favorite scientist thrusting a caf-pow under her nose.
“Gibbs,” Abby says in her usual enthusiastic way, before leaping into his arms to give him a hug.
Abby is like a daughter to him and she is one of the only people who can get away with a lot of the things she does. She is around the same age Kelly would be if she was still alive and Gibbs is sure the two of them would have gotten along really well.
Gibbs hand’s over the evidence that has been collected from the crime scene before explaining the finer details of the case to Abby, and what she’s looking for. He then leaves the lab leaving her to get on with it, knowing she’ll call him if and when she finds something.
Abby gets to work straight away, watching Gibbs leave the lab, probably on his way down to autopsy to talk to Ducky.
“What have you got Duck?” Gibbs says on walking into the autopsy lab announcing his presence.
“Good afternoon Jethro, our friend here seems to have been murdered, but you already knew that. The cause of death is definitely the gun shots, but he seems to have some underlying bruising indicating he has been in a fight recently, probably within the past few days. His young son on the other hand only shows signs of the gunshot wounds, which are clean straight through. From the location of the wounds I can conclude that they we’re shot with a sniper rifle from somewhere on the other side of the street, although Abby should be able to give you more information on that once she has finished her experiments on the bullets. That’s all I’ve got for you though I’m afraid.”
“Thanks Duck, one of the witnesses I spoke to at the school said something about him getting into an argument with someone he works with so I’ll look into that deeper. If you find anything else let me know.”
“Will do,” Ducky says to Gibbs retreating back.
Gibbs heads back to the bull pen to collaborate with his team. “Whatcha got DiNozzo,” he demands on stepping out of the elevator.
“Boss,” Tony greets, “It looks like Sergeant Thompson was in a fight with his colleague Lieutenant Adams about a week ago. Thompson was teaching Adams on how to correctly use a sniper rifle and hit a moving target. Adams is a new member of the unit, recently transferred in from a private outpost down in New Jersey. From what we can gather he got along well with the team but had a few problems with authority and taking orders. He liked to think he didn’t need to be told what to do. Thompson himself was a real family man, looked out for his son and gave him the best in everything, even letting him have his friends stay over as often as he wanted to. His wife died in childbirth, so he raised his son himself, and they lived in a small 2 bed roomed house just on the outskirts of the city. The boy had no problems at school, has never been in any sort of serious trouble and is generally your typical 10 year old.”
“Ziva, McGee, anything to add to that?”
“Just that Adams has been seen recently spending time with a Japanese woman who is on the FBI watch list, it’s probably not related but it may be worth having a word with her.”
“Right, DiNozzo, David, you go interview the Japanese woman, McGee your with me, I think it’s time we had a chat with Lieutenant Adams.”
