I know that I have not been on Fanfiction in quite a while and to that I apologize. And I know that I still have stories to finish, but I need to work on a new story to get my gears working first. Then I probably will update. So here it goes, I have finished a couple of NCIS stories before, so hopefully I will be able to finish this one. Enjoy!

I do not own NCIS or any of it's characters.


"McGee, Ziva, you two go in through the back. DiNozzo and I will go through the front."

The two agents nodded and quickly hurried around the house, while Gibbs and Tony entered cautiously, through the front door.

It was already half open which was never a good sign. Either there was going to be a dead person lying on the ground or someone much more unfriendly. Guns in hands the four agents swept through the downstairs, nothing. They then headed upstairs. Nothing in the first bedroom or bathroom, nor in the office. They proceeded down the hall and they came upon the last room, where the door was closed. Tony got on the other side of it and Gibbs nodded at him.

Tony flung open the door and they all rushed in pointing their guns all around. There was no dead body or murderer waiting for them. McGee sighed, "We might have a hostage situation."

"Who is a lazy person," said Ziva.

"NCIS got an emergency call from our suspect Sydney Davinson that someone broke in. But we can't even find signs of a struggle," said Gibbs, "It doesn't make since."

"But it-" began McGee who was then shushed by Tony.

"What do you-" but Ziva was not able to finish because Tony then did a loud shush again.

He put his ear on the wall and they all waited, until he turned around and looked at them, his face whiter than before, "I hear ticking."

Immediately the whole team went into action mode, "Should we try to disable it?" asked Ziva.

"It's in the wall," said Tony, "I don't think that we'll be able to get at it in time."

"We don't know how big it is. It could take out this whole street," Gibbs explained, "we have to take it out."

McGee made a weird noise.

"Any thing to add, Agent McGee?"

" No, uh, its just that I think that we should call the bomb squad," stammered McGee.

Tony shook his head, "And what if they don't get here in time? Ziva you know who to disable bombs, right?"

"You have seen me do it before."

"Good," he knocked one the wall causing the other three to flinch, "This wall is hollow so we should be able to cut through it with a knife."

Ziva took out a knife hidden on the side of her leg and handed it to Tony. He began to cut. "Be careful, there might be wires attached to the wall," cautioned Gibbs.

Tony smiled as he began on the second side of the square he was cutting, " Boss, I am hurt, didn't you know careful was my middle name?"

"If there wasn't a bomb in that wall, DiNozzo..."

For the rest of the time the team held their breath until finally Tony pried of the square of plaster and wood, a bomb was revealed the ticking now became audible for everyone to hear.

Ziva took the knife from Tony and knelt down in front of the opening, "Okay, this isn't the easiest one to disable but I might still be able to do it."

"What do the red numbers say?" asked McGee.

Ziva sighed, "Not all bombs have big numbers displaying their time of explosion, McGee."

"So we don't know when its going to go off?" said McGee, worry evident in his voice.

"You can leave if you want to," Gibbs answered.

McGee shook his head, "I'm staying, Boss."

Gibbs nodded, "I knew you would."

"Hey, so would I," said Tony.

"I am trying to disable a bomb here!" came Ziva's exasperated voice. They all became silent.

After a minute Tony became restless, "Any progress yet?"

" I almost got it I just need to cut this and..." She quickly cut through the wire and nothing happened, until a voice came.

"Nice try Agents David, McGee, DiNozzo, and Gibbs. Now would be the time to start running."

They didn't need to be told twice, there were no windows large enough to jump out of so they all flew down the stairs. The team ran across the lawn and jumped behind the car.

They were just in time for then the house exploded sending a massive shock wave and debris their way. It took them a moment to come to their wits.

"Everybody okay?" asked Gibbs.

They all nodded, "Cuts and bruises," replied McGee.

Tony stood up to get a a better look, "Don't worry it only took out the vacant house on one side of it and the empty lot on the other side o-"

"DiNozzo!" Gibbs yelled and he pulled Tony down by the wrist, another bomb went off from the rubble. More debris came flying and another massive shock wave.

"Thanks, boss," Tony said in an exasperated voice.

Gibbs said nothing but he head slapped him.

"Well," said Ziva through heavy breaths, "Someone is clearly out to get us. And apparently that bomb was just a way for us to meet him or her."

" I would of preferred a hand shake," said Tony."Ow!"
