Chapter 1
Tony rolled over in his small bed. His phone rang and he was annoyed by it. He finally was getting some sleep after a few nights on protection detail.
Tony streched his arm and grabbed his phone, "DiNozzo," he muttered.
"Gear up DiNozzo, we have a case." Gibbs gruff voice said.
Tony ended the call and moaned. Why do those criminals never wait until it was actually light outside? Tony rolled over to his side, and forgot how small his bed was. Tony moaned again, this time from the floor. I really should get a bigger bed. He thought by himself.
Tony stumbled into the squadroom, his hair sticking up to all sides and his eyes practically closed. No one was yet in the room, so he plopped in his chair and layed his head on his desk.
He woke up when he heard the sound of something being placed on his desk.
He looked up and saw Gibbs walking to his desk. "Morning DiNozzo," he said.
Tony looked at his desk and saw a large cup of coffee and a several sugarpackets next to it. "Thanks," he mumbled and popped the lid of the coffee cup and ripped the first sugarpacket open. He threw the contents of the packet in the cup and opened the next packet. After he had thrown the contents of all packets in his coffee, he took a long sip and let out a sigh. Ah, energy. He needed that today.
The elevator doors opened and Ziva and Tim walked in, looking awake. Tony sighed again, they'd had the lucky round of the protection detail, they had had a full night sleep.
Everyone grabbed their bags and went to the van, and to the crime scene.
Once they arrived at the crime scene, Tony was hyperactive; he was talking the Team's ears off about some movie he had watched days ago. He was lucky that he was sitting in the back of the van, so no one could slap him.
They got out of the van and the first thing Gibbs did was slap Tony. Ziva followed and McGee just looked pissed and more tired than an hour before in the squadroom.
The team grabbed their crime scene stuff and walked to the police officers at the side of the road..
"What do you got?" Gibbs asked to an officer.
"Local kids found a body in the lake while playing. We noticed the Naval uniform and called you guys." The officer pointed to some kids a few meters away, who were huddled together and obviously still in a shock from seeing a dead body.
Gibbs nodded and told Ziva she had to talk to the kids. Tony and Tim followed Gibbs to the lake. They passed the yellow line and walked onto the deep frozen lake. Somewhere in the middle of the lake were pawns, marking the scene.
Tim started to make photos and Gibbs walked back to the road, where the medical examiners' van had just arrived. "You know, I also saw that movie were Jackie Chan played in, it is called 'Shanghai Noon', come on, you must know this one! It is an awesome movie, where Jackie, who playes Chon Wang, has to rescue..."
"Shut up, DiNozzo!" McGee just said, how irritating could DiNozzo be? Oh thank God, Gibbs was coming back, with Ducky, Palmer and a few guys who carried a drill.
The guys with the drill made a hole in the thick ice and pulled the dead body out. After their job was done, they walked back to their car and drove away without saying a word.
Ducky and Palmer dropped their medical bags and started doing the post-mortem examination. Ducky mumbled some things to Palmer, who just nodded and murmured something back.
"You got a TOD, Duck?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes, a while ago, my guess three weeks ago."
"How do you know that?" Tim asked.
"He was in the lake before it started to freeze. Otherwise, there would be a hole in the ice somethere." Ducky answered.
"Oh." Tim was ready making photos and walked back to the van to store the camera away. Tony followed him..
"You know, in Shanghai Noon, Jackie Chan played with Owen Wilson, who is also a great actor and..." "Tony! Just shup up! I am not interested in this movie, OK?" Tim said out loud, apperently so loud that Gibbs looked up.
"Oh, you would have loved the fighting scenes! Ziva had taught me some of the fighting moves!" Tony grabbed Tim's arm and pulled him closer.
"Look, Chon Wang grabbed the arm of his assailant, and put his leg behind the knee of the attacker," Tony did what he told Tim, "and the he pulled the guy to the left, over his hip, and threw his attacker away." Tim hadn't expected Tony to literraly replay the scene and was too stunned to stop Tony from replaying the scene. Tim was swung over Tony's hip and Tony was about to release Tim's arm, to drop Tim to the ground, when Tony slipped on the ice and fell. He automaticly released Tim's arm and heard a loud smashingsound on ice as he hit the ice himself.
Hi!
This is actually a one-shot, but I tried to make it a bit longer because the idea is pretty good (according to me )
Thank you CALLEN37 for beta reading this story for me!
As told in the story, Shanghai Noon is a movie played by Jackie Chan (I love his fighting scenes), everything that is told in the story is from Wikipedia. But the moves that Tony does, is not really in the movie, I just made it up after having judo lessons at school.
