A/N: I can't apologise enough for the appalling job I am doing with my time management. *hugs and loves you all*


April 1

"We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run down." - Politician Aneurin Bevan.

"It's like an April Fools Day prank gone bad." Anthony DiNozzo joked as he took various photographs of the scene. "Could you image that phone call? I'm sorry but Doctor McGoo won't be in work today, he's been hit by a car. Then a few hours later, he walks in-"

"You won't be so fortunate." Gibbs threatened, leaning on his hunches next to Ducky. "We got time of death?"

"Not yet Jethro, be patient."

Grinning, the older man stood up, taking in the scene. The roads had been cordoned off by local LEO's, while Ziva searched the victim's car and McGee interviewed witnesses. Cases were coming thick and fast lately. It didn't surprise Gibbs with the awful things people did to each other, he just wished that his phone called for something other than a dead Marine for once.

"I hate April Fools Day." Tony whined, snapping a close-up of the man at their feet.

"Shocking." McGee appeared, bouncing slightly. "Boss, I-"

"Coming from the Probie that messed around with my desk drawer last year?"

"I've got an eye witness who claims to have seen our victim stop at the lights, get out of his car and sprint into oncoming traffic."

"Maybe it was a dare." Tony suggested, wincing at the eyes that fell on him. "That was inappropriate. I'll carry on with my photographs now."

Gibbs sighed. "Traffic cameras?"

"I'm already getting the data sent back to my computer now."

"You go back with the body. Call me when you get something."

"I've got something..." Tony shouted from behind the car. "Kidding."
