His Little Food Monster - His Hogs Tooth

P1 - Horrific Case P1

Growler rolled over and cuddled under the duvet.

"Oh dear, don't think Daddy wants his breakfast." Said food monster to their daughter.

"Daddy sleepy." She replied.

However, his quick snooze went far to quickly for his liking, he yawned and sipped some hot coffee that Food Monster had just brought up to him.

As Growler took in the warmness of the welcomed hot drink, his phone buzzed.

"Yeah Gibbs."

"Boss sorry to wake you, we have a case." Said a worried McGee

"Tim what is it.."

"A 6 year old kid boss."

"Damn" he cursed

"I'll send you both the address and see you there."

"Thanks Tim."

Hanging up he went about his morning routine, before walking down to see his girls. He smiled and hugged them both a little tighter.

"I saw" Whispered Food Monster, smoothing her Growler.

After dropping Caitlin at pre-school,  they went on their way to the crime scene.

When they arrived they saw a car and two bodies in the road.

Food Monster laid a hand on her Growlers leg. He squeezed her hand and took in a deep breath.

"McGee what do we know..."

"Morning, yeah a Captain Charles McKenna and his wife Sarah and their daughter Charlotte."

"Who called it in?"

"Local Leos doing a morning patrol, came across the scene at 06:00."

"Where is Charlotte?"

"Back seat. Looks like all three were shot in situ."

"Uh huh"

"Palmer is on his way."

"Thanks Tim" Gibbs uttered as he walked over to the car. He stood and took in the scene. He saw the body of 6 year old Charlotte strewn over the back seat, her arm stretched out. He couldn't be sure if she had tried to crawl out before the cowards shot her.

But he broke protocol and with a gloved hand held hers.

Moments later a friendly hand touched his shoulder.

"We'll take it from here Jethro."

"Sorry Duck.."

Not even realising his friend wasn't meant to be here.

He then spotted Palmer bringing over the gurney not really taking anything in.

"Go back to base Jethro, give yourself a moment." Growler nodded and left the girl in the capable hands of his best friend.

"McGee and I are going over to the house."

"Good lets go, leave Torres to focus on this one."

A worried Ducky watched over him and messaged McGee.

In the car McGee's phone beeped

"What is it?" asked Growler trying to focus on the present.

"Just Ducky advising they have all three bodies and heading back."

Growler nodded.

McGee had covered well, the message had actually said

"Watch him Timothy, this is too much like Kelly."
