TITLE: His role model
AUTHOR: nicis_anatomy
CHARACTER: Jimmy Palmer, Ducky Mallard
GENRE: Gen
RATING: PG
WORD COUNT: 200
SUMMARY: Jimmy thinks about the reason for Dr. Mallard’s stories ... Written for prompt #10 "Grace" for drabble123 and challenge #088 "Future" for ncisdrabble100.
WARNINGS: English still isn't my native language (although I wish) and the story is not beta'd.
