"McGee, who is Aunt Sally, and why should I excuse her?"
Ziva stood in front of his desk, holding a stack of papers and looking confused.
"I have been helping Abby, since we do not have any leads to run. She asked me to look over some work the victim had been doing. It appears to be mathematics- that I am familiar with. However, there is a phrase which appears on the top of each page regarding Aunt Sally. Lieutenant Rivers had no family."
McGee looked. "Didn't they have mnemonics in Israel?" he teased but explained it to her anyway.
THE END
