On Belay? Belay on!

When Petty Officer first class is found dead in a rock gym, NCIS suspects something went down, but the problem in the crime scene is practically spotless. Rated M for possible descriptions, possible swears.

"Donny, I told you not to do that." Said the man walking towards him. Donny was backing up from the man looming over him. The man began walking towards him; he noticed the man had clothes with the price tags still on them, and rubber gloves.

"You didn't tell anyone, not one person? Are you telling me the truth, Steve." Said the man looming over the body on the ground

"No. I mean no, I didn't tell anyone and yes, I'm telling you the truth" Said Donny

"Oh, well too bad for you, I don't believe you" Steve said, putting his boot onto Donny's stomach, not hard enough to bruise, but enough to hold him down. Donny starts struggling, and Steve puts more force on his hold on Donny with his boot.

"Donny, stay still, and I'll make this less painful than this has to be." Steve said. Donny didn't still. Steve bends down, grabs the front of Donny's shirt, lowered his face towards his.

"Nice knowing you, Petty Officer 1st Class Donald A. Fickley." Steve said, pulling back his now clenched fist and punches Donny in the head, knocking him out instantly.

Steve then dropped him back to the ground, not to gently either. Steve quickly ran to get one of the ropes that was currently set up for a climber. He unclipped the carabineer from the Petzl Grigri belay device, wrapped the rope around Donny's neck, and slowly raised it into the air by using the other end of the rope that was fed through the Grigri. After 20 minutes, when Steve was sure that Donny was dead, he lowered him onto the ground, slid a harness on him, reattached the carabineer to the harness, and raised him into the air.

Steve then looked at the clock; it read 0730. An hour and a half till the gym opens. Steve quickly made sure that there was no evidence that he was ever here, he then got into his car, after the final run through of the place, making sure there wasn't anything here connecting him to the crime. He knew that there wasn't any security camera on the door of the building. He then peeled out of the Climbing Center's parking lot, wheels screeching, and drove off. When he got home, he started a fire in the fire place, and put everything he wore that day in the fire, the rubber gloves, his newly bought clothes, and he threw his boots into the washing machine, to clear anything that could have gotten on him to the crime. After that, he jumped into the shower.
