CHAPTER 3: JUDGEMENT DAY
"What we looking at here Duck?" said Gibbs
"Ah, Jethro I was wondering when you were going to grace me with your
presence! I hear we have some new arrivals, I have met with Special Agent Veron
he seems to be quite a nice fellow..."
"The body, Duck?" Gibbs says in his usual sarcastic tone.
"Ah yes, seems that our unfortunate fellow here was subject of quite a
brutal battering from mother nature herself. You see the bruising on the torso and
the limbs suggests that he was moved about by the tide with quite some force,
the cuts are due to the coral and rocks along the shore where his body had been rubbed and scraped
along the rough surface for quite some time."
"COD?"
"Ah, now thats a little more tricky you see these cuts to the backs of the legs suggest
that they were made before the time of death but the other cuts were not, and the lungs
were also surprisingly not filled with water."
"So he was killed then thrown into the water during a storm perhaps?"
"It would seem that way Jethro if it wasn't for this here."
Ducky opens the victim's mouth and shows a green discolouration to the back of the throat.
"This case has all the signs of a body dump apart from this."
"What are we looking at?"
"Well that i'm afraid that is Abbys department."
"Thanks Duck."
Gibbs heads towards the Bull pit, as ducky continues his usual conversations with the victim.
Tony is at his desk with McGee, Kate, Victoria, and Emma all huddled around as they exchange stories
of their bosses and finding out that they may not be too different.
"Did you know that Gibbs once gave us a days worth of paperwork when the director told him
another agent was joining us?" Says Tony
"Veron once made us all re-do our reports because he was told he would have stand down on a case!" says Victoria
"Gibbs once got really mad because a reporter spilled his coffee!" Says McGee
"Veron once poured Pepsi all over my computer because i got him diet instead of regular" Says Emma.
"Wow they are so alike!" Says Kate
At that moment Ziva runs towards the group and she is obviously excited about something.
"Gibbs......Veron......MTAC......NOW" she said between breaths
All of a sudden the whole group runs to the conference room to hear loud shouting and crashing of something.
"You have outstayed your welcome Special Agent Veron!"
"The only thing you have overstayed Special Agent Gibbs is your retirement!"
All of the agents are in the doorway looking at the two bosses arguing like dogs.
"They are just like big kids!" Tony says laughing.
"One more word DiNozzo and you will wake up tomorrow with the biggest headache!" Gibbs has that look
on his face like he is going to kill someone. And that someone at that moment could be Tony.
"Busted!" Victoria says in between giggles.
"Smith, just you try it!" snaps Veron
Apart from Tony and Victoria they are all in fits of laughter virtually rolling around on the floor.
"OUT!" both Gibbs and Veron shout in unison.
With that the agents leave quickly because they know when this is all over it is going to come
back and hit them twice as hard.
