A girl from Princeton

It was an ordinary day in Washington DC. It was packed with tourists who where visiting the museums and attractions. A lovely young doctor was walking to go into the Smithsonian when she heard a groan as she turned to the side of the building, there was a man who had been assaulted and left to die.  The woman ran over as she tried to see where he was hurt.



“Its ok Im a doctor. “ she said as she saw the man begin to bleed from his side.  She knew he was in the Navy by his dress uniform but she couldn’t tell why someone would hurt a soldier. She took off her scarf and began to stop the bleeding.  As she took out her cell phone and called NCIS.







Meanwhile, Gibbs was working on  another boat. It was how he cleared his mind. He seemed to lose so many he loved. His wife, his daughter  a fine agent and a former lover and director of NCIS.  As he began to sand a plank of wood his phone rang,  sometimes that was a curse. It normally meant someone was dead.  Picking up his phone he answered. “Yeah Gibbs..” he said as he heard that was indeed someone was dead a navy officer to be more correct.



As he drove up to the Smithsonian he saw ducky was there and so was his team. But he saw another person a lovely young woman at the scene with blood on her, she must have been the one that called this in.



Walking up to the body he glanced at Ducky. “What do you have duck?” he asked as he knelt down. Ducky in his normal almost chipper voice he said. “Ah Jethro glad to see you. Well this is a Petty officer Watson Poe. “ he said as ducky was still checking the body.



“Time of death?” he asked.



“Well it was only twenty minutes ago .” Ducky replied.



“How did he die?” He asked.



“Not sure but I will know more when I get him back home.” Ducky replied.



“Yes this young woman found him and tried to save him. “ Ducky said as he and Mr. Palmer put the deceased on a gurney. Gibbs eyes shifted to the woman again, late twenties with green eyes and dark hair. Walking up to her he introduced himself.  “Im special agent Gibbs Miss?” he asked not sure of her name.



The woman gave a half smile. “Dr. Veronica Cuddy. Well its actually Raven Veronica Cuddy but I normally go by my middle name. “ she said.



Gibbs smiled as he took out a note pad. “So what did you see Miss Cuddy?” he asked , as Veronica began to explain it.  “I was heading into the Smithsonian when I heard a groan. I saw the man hurt and bleeding. I tried to find what caused the wound but couldn’t not find a source. I took off my scarf and tried to stop the bleeding… he died a few minutes after my efforts. “ She said. Veronica was used to giving detailed reports being a doctor.



“Thank you Miss Cuddy. “ he said as he had a thought. “Would you mind helping our ME doctor Mallard with the body? Perhaps you can help us with the case? That is if your not busy. “He said with a kind smile.



Veronica smiled. “Id be delighted. “ she said as she got directions to the Navy Yard. Veronica was from Princeton Plainsboro Hospital in New Jersey. She was taking a break from her rather, stressful job.



The rest of the team watched Gibbs as he almost seemed to flirt with the young doctor, as DiNozzo arched a brow as they drove back to NCIS head quarters.
