Confrere
Jimmy had grown a lot this year. Ducky watched his confrere perform the current autopsy by himself with a swell of pride. It was getting to the point where Ducky himself really wasn't needed.
Ducky could retire without worry now if he wanted to. Of course, he had sort of tried that previously and immediately returned bored out of his mind before even a month had gone past. Still he hoped that the knowledge that autopsy was in good hands would make retirement easier.
Maybe he could talk Gibbs into retiring with him. Lord knows Anthony needed a chance to stretch his wings and show his skills out from under Gibbs' shadow.
