The Case
The car pulled up to the crowded shopping center it was just another normal day for most people. But normal wasn't a word used at NCIS because every day was anything but normal. Tony Dinozzo was the first NCIS agent out of the car and second on the scene special agent Gibbs was already there. A Navel Marine officer had been found deceased by someone in the center, "Dinozzo pictures, Ziva sketches, McGee find out what happened," Gibbs looked around when Duckie caught his attention "Duck what are you looking at?" Gibbs asked his friend who was staring intently into the crowd. "The strangest site Jethro I thought I saw Caitlin Todd looking back she was gone, seeing she died three years ago doesn't help the matter." Said Duckie, Tony looked up from taking photo's when he heard Kate's name, "did he just say what I think he said?" Ziva asked him. Dinozzo just nodded he had never really gotten over losing Kate, he missed their playful banter the way they used to tease each other and fight to get approval from Gibbs and well he never got to tell her his secret, he was head of over heels in love with her. Nothing had been the same when Ziva took her place as much as he liked working with her she tended to scare him something that never happened with Kate, "Tony are you all right? You look a bit pale" McGee asked
"I'm fine get back to work McGeek" Tony said he went back to taking photos before the tears that were threatening to flow did. Tim looked at Ziva who shrugged they went back to work Ziva notice someone in the crowd caught her attention "McGee that women over there who does she look like to you?" she asked Tim looked up to see what Ziva was talking about and there sure enough watching Dinozzo intently was Caitlin Todd "that…that can't be she's…we…we wer- we were all there, we all saw her go down Duckie did the auto- autop- McGee hung his head he couldn't bring him self to say it "how is that possible?" he asked
"How is what possible McGee?" Gibbs asked which made he and Ziva jump
"Ziva thought she saw Kate, and she wasn't kidding she was standing behind the tall man with the black cap, all she was doing was watching Tony" McGee finished but as was the way with Gibbs he was already looking for Kate in the crowd but to no avail "no one tells Dinozzo or Abbey you hear me no one" he said before walking off and talking to Duckie. After they had removed the Navel Officer, Gibbs asked Ziva and McGee to stay back and have a look around for Kate while he got Abbey and Tony onto how the Officer died.
