- hello agents. We got here around 07:15. A Marine had found the woman 10 minutes earlier. Its a body on a wedding dress. No I.D, no phone, money or jewels.- said Sean, one of the officer that keep people out of the crime scene.
- hey, Dick. You have the time of death  already?- Gibbs asked.
- Hello Jethro. And Yes. The time of death was between 9P.M to 1 A.M. The victim had a bruise on her head and a hematome on her left cheek.
- she has nothing with her. Looks like a Robbery that went wrong.-  Tony said.
- yah, why dump her on a navy field?- Gibbs asked.
- i dont Know. We nee to identify her first.
- no need. I recgonized her. - McGee said.-  Natalie Lourié. She is a super model. Her name is all over the internet. She recently talk about a polemic deal about a stylist.
- Model? McGee see if you can find anything on the data base about Lourié. We going to finish here and then meet you back on NCIS.- Gibbs said.
After getting back, Gibbs w3nt give Abby an object that might be the murder weapon.
- hey, Gibbs. Is this the murder weapon?- Abby asks pointing to the object.
- i dont know if it matches with the wounds.- Gibbs said.
- alright, im going to analyse it and call you if i get anything.
Back on the desk.
- hey Director. Oh, hey boss.- DiNozzo said as Gibbs walks in.
- agent DiNozzo how is going the investigation? Did you get our victim's ID? - the director asks.
- update? Go. - Gibbs said.
- Yes. Her name is Natalie Lourié. She is from Kansas. No criminal Record  only speed limit tickets.- McGee said
- she works as a model. We already contact her modeling agency. - Bishop said.
- we also find that she rented the appartment above the pub irish next to the homicide building. Chilly Mcchug is the owner of the pub and Lourié's landlord.- DiNozzo said.
- Bishop, DiNozzo go. See what he knows.
Bishop and Tony arrived to the pub.
- Mr. Mcchug. Agents Bishop and DiNozzo. Mind if we ask you some questions?- Bishop asked.
- Did you knew Natalie Lourié?- DiNozzo asked.
- Yes. She and Ray Church rent one of my appartment. Ray is my cousin's son. He is cyclist of endurance, but he is more lazzy than anything else.
- when did you last saw them?- Bishop ask him
- i think yesterday morning. I dont check this things. But im hoping that this means that they left. Everytime i see them, i regret rent that appartment to them.
- do you have their phone numbers?- Tony ask.
- Yes. You can note them. Can i ask what is this about?
- Natalie was murder on a navy field Last night. Where did those cuts come from?- Bishop ask.
- nothing special. I cut myself on a nail that was loose when i was moving a Box.
Tony left outside to call McGee to give him the phone records.
- McGee can you check the phone records of this two phone numbers, like right now.
- sure.- McGee said as Gibbs walks into the room. - Ray call Natalie five times between 22:30 and 23:00. He call another phone number but nobody answer, and they call it back 15 minutes later. Natalie phone records look normal. Call Ray, call the agency, to her parents, nothing after 19:30.
- thanks McGee.
- theres something else. I manage to check the security cameras from the pub and capture a fight between Mr. Mcchug and Ray.
- send me the photo, McGee.
- already did.
Tony enters the pub and ask Mr. Mcchug.
- Mr. Mcchug, why you didnt mention to us that you had a fight with Ray. The time and date suggests that this happen shortly before Natalie death. And it doesnt look like a pacific conversation.
- you said you didnt saw them since this morning.- Bishop said.
- im full of work here. So what If left a little detail? Happens to everyone.
- what was the fighting about?- Tony asks.
- nothing to big. He own me half year of rent, so we had a small fight. I was just remembering Ray his debt, he was rude and i just shake him a little, on a sweet way. Thats all.
- if he wasnt paying the rent, why didnt you throw him out?- Bishop asked.
- hes family. He paying the rent was a formality. Is just.... my patience has limits, you know?
- thanks, Mr. Mcchug. Call us if Ray shows up.
Meanwhile Ducky calls Gibbs.
- The murder weapon is probably made of wood, as the bruise on her left cheek been caused by on a strike right before or during her death. No signs of fight. Time of death was between 23:30 and Midnight.
- any evidence that the body was moved?- Gibbs ask.
- not yet. This kind of bruise doesnt usually has a lot of bleeding.
Abby enters the morgue with News.
- the broken bootle you guys found on the crime scene has nothing to do with the murder. Is had been there for several days.
Shannon also enters the morgue.
- hey Gibbs. We receive the information on the agency. Natalie's contract was terminated for unknown reasons. Her last photographic essay was right before her death. She was suppose to go to a presentation right after. The party was on a place not far from the Studio. That explains why she was on a fancy dress that night. But it doesnt explain why she was on a navy field.
- no it doenst.- Gibbs said
As soon as Tony and Bishop arrived to NCIS they went to speak to Gibbs.
- hey, boss. They found a motorcycle tire tracks next to the navy field. Someone brake Hard, maybe someone witnessed the murder. Im going there with McGee taking photos. And theres a woman named Miss. Fox. She wants to talk to you.
- alright.- Gibbs said and left.
- Agent Gibbs. I know you are curious about my presence here. A tragedie happen. My best friend, Natalie Lourié was murder.
- Best friend? Right, Miss. Fox. Do you know something about Natalie or her boyfriend Ray?
- Yes, i do. Natalie was a talented woman, with a great potencial, but she became conceited. If she had apologized to the fashion guru to stop with the scandal but she was a nosy. Well, a scandal can be good for a career, but Natalie wasnt that smart. And because of that she enter in every in every giggest agencies Black list. She was full of debts. Her boyfriend was a useless and broke. Because of his rudeness, he lost a chance to sign a lucrative contract with the monster's bike.
- when was the last time you saw her?
- last night. I pick her up from the Studio at 22 so we could walk to the presentation, but she prefer stay with that weird Douglas. He is another loser on the fashion world. She said she was going to do some "special" photos for her book. She said she was doing something right for her, that things were about to chance for her.... Now i got to go. This is my e-mail in case ypu need something else.
Gibbs call Douglas to come to NCIS.
Shannon arrived to Gibbs before he enter the interrogation room to talk to Douglas.
- Abby found out that the unknown number from Ray phone is Leigh Douglas. Looks like Ray and Leigh talk before Ray went missing. And it was found Leigh card on Mr. Mcchug's pub. It has a symbol of a camera.
- another reason to tlak to him.-  Gibbs said and enters the room.
- Thanks for coming, Mr. Douglas. Its about the murder of Natalie Lourié, that happen on a navy field. Did you knew Natalie?
- Natalie died? Im sorry to hear that. We work together sometimes.
- when was the last time you saw her?
- yesterday during a photographic essay. We end around 22. Everyone went to the presentation. I grab my equipment and went to the Chilly's pub.
- you sure? I have a witness that said that you stayed to do some "special" photos for Natalie.
- no. Natalie stayed to change her clothes to go to the party. I was just grabbing my equipment.
- looks convincente. Nobody can confirm what you really did. By the way, why did you call her boyfriend?
- Ray call me. I just call him back. He was looking for Natalie, so i said she was on the presentation.
- why didnt he call her?
- i dont know. Ask him.
- i will.
After talking to him Gibbs gather everyone around the desks for an update.
