Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS; that pretty much covers it.
Pairings: Slight Kibbs (maybe more in later chapters).
A/N: This is my first attempt at a fan fic. The story is based on one crazy dream I had after viewing too many NCIS reruns in a row.
Prologue I- Gibbs
Gibbs awoke to complete silence. Blinking a few times, he tried to move. Almost instantly pain engulfed his body. He tasted blood and groaned. 'Come on, pull it together Gibbs,' he thought to himself. Taking in his surroundings very slowly, he realized he was in the woods. From as far as he could tell, no one was around. Gibbs thought he saw a trail running parallel to where he was sitting, but he wanted to get closer to have a look. Trying to move, Gibbs was only met by the restraints that held him in place. Looking down at his chest, he saw thick rope. It dawned on him when he remembered how the undercover operation went bad. Someone had broken into his house; he had tried to fight them but it was three against one. Gibbs moaned again. "I'm tied to a tree in the middle of no where," the gray haired man whispered to no one in particular. He half expected to hear someone answer him.
The wind began to pick up and the temperature began to drop. The sun was falling fast. Gibbs shivered through his light black jacket as snow dropped from the sky. He could hear the frozen precipitation fall onto the leaves around him. Gibbs was fighting to stay awake. "Help!" he yelled, hoping someone would answer. But when the only sound he heard was the wind ruffling the remaining leaves on the trees, he knew he was in trouble.
