Thursday, 0900. The NCIS head quarters had been quiet lately. Though there was always plenty of paperwork to do, there always was. Ziva as at her desk and continued to fill out the paper work from a case they had finished a week ago. Tim sat at his desk eagerly taping away at his keyboard with a relaxed look on his face. DiNozzo; however, leaned back in his chair and slouched as his slept. His gray suit jacket had long ago fallen on the floor and was now slightly dirty, something Tony would later complain about. Ziva noticed that Tony was well asleep when he had started to snore softly. She shook her head and balled up a piece of paper. She stood slightly and glanced around the perimeter to make sure the coast was clear. Once she was sure, she beamed the paper at DiNozzo and hit him in the face dead on.
DiNozzo jerked awake and stumbled in trying to achieve balance. He fell back in the chair and with a loud thump, hit the floor. Ziva -of course- was back to sitting in her chair perfectly by the time the ball was half way to him. Tony groaned and slowly stood up and fixed his chair. "How very mature Ms. Dah-veed." he shot at her sharply. He was not to happy with his wake up call.
Ziva; on the other hand, was smirking to herself and at Tony's words, "you were the one sleeping while Gibbs is out for coffee," she said back to him as she signed her name on the report and placed it on the other side of her desk in a pile she declared her 'finished pile'. "Besides Tony, you have work to do, yes?" she asked looking to the large stack she could guess was a pile he would call, 'I'll get to it soon pile'.
Tony huffed and rolled his eyes in a childish way and said, "What are you going to do? Tell the teacher on me?" he questioned as he picked up his jacket from the floor and put it on the back of the chair again.
"If by teacher you mean Gibbs," Ziva said glancing behind Tony, "I do not believe I have to,"
Tony's eyes opened wide at the way her words were phrased and he knew what that meant, "hey boss I was just-"
"Napping on the job, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked not only interrupting him, but also slapping the back of his head.
"Won't happen again boss," Tony muttered sitting in his chair and beginning to do the paper work.
Gibbs shook his head as he grabbed his phone just after it started ringing, "Yea, Gibbs," there was a long paused after he answered, "were on it," he said hanging up, "grab your-" Gibbs was almost finished with his sentence when he noticed that all three of his agents already had there gear and were standing at the edge of the bull pen waiting for him. He smirked and shook his head, "you all are a little to eager for dead marine's if you ask me," he muttered as he slid on his jacket and took a sip from his coffee.
"What do we have Gibbs?" Ziva asked taking her place next to Gibbs as they walked to the elevator.
"dead marine and officer outside a bar in Alexandria," Gibbs said as they all ushered into the elevator, "hey one of you call ducky and tell him we have something and to meat us in Alexandria, Virginia ,"
Tim was the first to pull out his phone as the elevator approached their floor, "on it boss, ill tell ducky to bring two of everything." Tim said as he listened to the dial tone.
As they stepped out of the elevator and into the garage, "we all take my car," Gibbs said immediately turning towards his car. Ziva was right at his side and glanced over to her close father figure; "something on my face Ziver?" he asked noticing he was being watched.
Ziva felt as if he was not telling them something as if he was leaving a detail some the story behind the murders, "is there something you are not telling us, Gibbs?" she asked blatantly as she opened his passenger side door and smoothing seated herself in the car.
"Like what agent David?" Gibbs counter questioned as he got in a started the car, watching as Tony got in behind Ziva and Tim finished the call to ducky about the murder while simultaneously buckling up behind him.
"I do not know, I just feel as if something is wrong," Ziva admitted as she relaxed into the seat and buckled up. Once Gibbs knew they were all safely in the car, he whipped out of the parking garage and was on his way to Alexandria. It was only a ten minute car ride -with Gibbs's driving- but it was a quite ten minutes.

The scene -at first glance- appeared to be one just like any other. It had the tape cutting off access to the ally around the back of a small bar. The bar was an old red stone building with worn green shutters on the two windows in the front. The black door was closed and had the yellow tape over it as well. It was two stories but something told the team the second floor was not part of the bar. The bar it self was cutely named 'Paradise' with the dot of the 'I' being a kiss mark. The ally way around to the back was wide; however, it contained two dumpsters that took up some of the entry way.
Gibbs immediately got out of the car first and walked to the lead Metro cop in front of the building. Ziva got out and was soon accompanied by Tim and Tony. The three of them all gave each other confused looks and looked at Gibbs. "Well go on," he said gesturing for them to go behind the tape and take a look at the crime scene. "McGee, witnesses. DiNozzo, bag and tag. David, photos." he barked.
They all nodded and began to move towards the back ally. Tony held up the tape for Ziva and she smirked. After she slid under it, Tony was directly behind her and he let the tape go in time for it to hit McGee. "Thanks," he said sarcastically as he lifted the tape himself and walked under it. They all made it to the back side of the bar and stopped to take it all in.
Two bodies. One Marine and another that appeared to be civilian. Both were lay on the ground with blood coming out of their mouths. The marine was fit, white, male, blonde, brown eyed, and looked to be in his mid to late twenties. The other was also fit, tan, and also male, brunette, brown eyed, and looked to be around the same age as the marine. Ziva leaned against the wall of the building next to the bar. Tony leaned next to her and Tim leaned on the other side of Ziva. "What are your ninja senses telling you?" Tony asked
Ziva shook her head and sighed lightly as she glanced towards the exit of the ally way, "he's not telling us something," Ziva pulled off the wall and began to walk to the exit way, "we can not do anything anyway till Ducky arrives. I am going to find out what it is," Ziva began to walk with determination. She was going to get to the bottom of this.
