Dance of Death
Rated T for Teen.
Summary- Ziva's at the crime scene in a way that the team never would have believed.


It was a the only day off that Ziva had gotten in over two weeks. She along with Tony, McGee, Gibbs, Ducky, and Abby had been pulling many late nights the last couple weeks. They had gotten swamped with cases left and right that Ziva can't remember the last time she had slept for 6 hours.

In order to keep true to her morning routine she got up at 6 am sharp and head out for her two hour jog. She would never admit it to any one but this had to be her favorite time of the day when most of the world was still sleeping. Her run was just about done when she heard something.

"Leave me alone you jerk! I want nothing to do with you"There was panic in the young girl's voice. The man that she was arguing with took a step toward her. " You think that you can leave me? Just try it."

"Is there a problem here?" Ziva's voice called out. She really didn't want to witness anything after the last time she witnessed a assassination.

"There is nothing going on here. Just mind your damn business girl" Something in Ziva snapped. It was a combination of the lack of sleep, the way that this man was treating the girl and the fact that her father used to talk to her in the same way. She took the remaining distance in a quick stride.

"I'm sorry but it seems that there is a problem Sir. I do not like the way that you are talking to her.." The man turned around and punched Ziva right in the stomach.

"No, Your wrong miss. I will speak to her anyway i want and youwill stay the hell out of my way." He grabbed her by the nape of her neck and smashed her face into a parked car. Ziva was dazed and could not believe that she had allowed herself to be beaten like that.

The man the hit her in the ribs and Ziva was more the certain that it was cracked. She couldn't breath and her vision was begining to go black.

"Good bye." He drew the gone and just as Ziva's vission went black she heard a shot.


Back at Ncis the other members of the team were sitting at there desks enjoying the little break. They were tired and little to no sleep on there side. Tony for once was not running his mouth and McGee wasn't doing anything with his computer. The phone rang and Tony answered it on the second ring.

"DiNozzo- Yep, where? Were on our way." Tony hung up his phone and began grabbing his gear. "Petty officer found down by the park." McGee grabbed the car keys and Gibbs grabbed the Truck keys.

It only took them a couple of minuted to reach the park. To McGee it was nice not having to worry about Ziva's crazy driving in dangering there lives. Not that it hadn't saved there ass's on a couple occasion.

It took them a couple minutes to reach the body because of all the news media. None of them spoke to anyone because the last time that happened they were edited to make NCIS look like ass's.

"DiNozzo search the scene, McGee pictures." Gibbs called as he lead Ducky to the site. As Tony walked by a path entrance he was surprised to hear a phone ring. The ring tone was familiar and Tony went to see where it was coming from. As he did he tripped over what he assumed was a log but when he looked at the log he could feel his heart begin to race.

"Shit..Ziva!"
