Together

The teeth

Washington DC

Hideaway of Kent

4:21 Pm

Julia is at one end of the property where there are some trees and bushes. She makes sure there's no one around, then she takes out her cell phone and calls NCIS. "Bishop, why are you calling so soon? Did something happen?", asks Gibbs, who's on the phone right now. "Hi. I just had to help with the loading. A blue van left for Seaford, Delaware ten minutes ago. One driver and four kids. Three girls and a boy. The girls were abused", Ellie responded. "Do you know the license plate?", asks Gibbs. Ellie tells him. "One more thing: We have to meet with one of you tonight. We have something Kasie needs to investigate", says Ellie. "Okay. When and where?", asks Gibbs. "We were thinking around 9:00 at your diner", replies Ellie. Gibbs, who knows that she is talking about the diner where he often goes to get his coffee, replies: "All right. I probably won't be able to meet you, but I'll pass it on. Ellie, take care of yourself." Gibbs hangs up.

Washington DC

Diner

9:03 Pm

The diner is quite crowded, only in front of Daniel and Julia and in front of two teenagers there is still room. Daniel and Julia have made sure that there is free space opposite of them. While waiting for their meal, they kiss each other. Jack is coming. "Is this seat free?", she asks. Ellie and Nick finish their kiss, then Ellie answers: "If it's absolutely necessary..." Jack sits down. "What did you want to give me?", she asks quietly. Ellie reaches into her pocket and takes out a bag. She puts her hand under the table. Jack follows her and gets the bag. She puts it in her pocket. The owner comes and Jack orders herself something to eat. "This has to go to Kasie as soon as possible", says Nick. "I'll give it to her after our meeting", Jack replies. "I can tell you right now that the DNA is only female", says Ellie. "How do you know that?", Nick wants to know. "The driver told me. They enjoy abusing girls! And not letting me talk!", says Ellie. "You'll be fine, Ellie. I'm 100% sure of it", says Jack.

Navy Yard, Kasie's lab

8:36 am, the next day

Kasie is just finishing the DNA analysis of the teeth when Gibbs, Jack and Vance come to her lab. "Kasie, you finished the analysis?", Gibbs asks. "Just finished. Bishop was right: The DNA on the teeth is only female", replies Kasie."Miss Hines, have you matched the DNA to the missing persons database yet?", asks Vance. "Yes, Director. I have the names of eight girls", Kasie replies and gives Vance a list. "Hold on. Weren't it 10 teeth?", Jack asks in surprise. "Two of the children have lost two teeth. They were all milk teeth, by the way", Kasie replies. Vance gives Gibbs the list of the girls' names. "Gibbs, you call the children's families. Find out how they were abducted and if there are similarities in the locations", orders Vance.

Sorry for the long disappearance, but sadly I didn't had much time. I hope that I'm more active now
