A/N: This is my first NCIS story. Just to let everyone know: I haven't read a lot of the fanfics here, but I watch this show every chance I get. Now, some of the chapters are going to be kind of short, but I'll try to update them as quickly as possible. Like with this one, I'm updating Scene 2 as well. I mean them as Scenes sorta- like in the show how commercials split them up. The bold print is the black and white shot you get at the beginning and end of every scene. It's only bold in the beginning because it fits in with the end sentence. Please enjoy, and let me know if I have anyone out of character! I'm welcome to suggestions!

Tony DiNozzo sighed as he kicked back in his chair, having just completed the final report from last week's events. The office had been very somber since Agent Lee's death; even he could not think of anything sarcastic to say to cheer up the depressing mood.

"Gibbs here today?" Tim McGee set down a cup of coffee on the other agent's desk and set down another on Ziva David's desk before enjoying his own.

"When does that man ever take a break?" asked Ziva, taking a seat and thanking him for the coffee.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he did today...I would have the day after. The man really needs a break-"

"And why would you think that DiNozzo?" Right on cue, Jethro Gibbs came out of the elevator. "Hit him for me Ziva." With a smile, the woman smacked Tony across the back of the head.

"Why did she get to hit me?" grumbled Tony, massaging the forming bruise; she smacked him a little harder than Gibbs would have. The boss merely raised up his bandaged hand as an answer. "Ahh...gottcha, Boss. Though maybe next time, Probie can hit me..."

"I hit just as hard as Ziva!" Protested Tim, causing even Gibbs to smirk.

"Catch them up, McGee." Tim pulled out a manila folder.

"Cemetery on the Navy Base here in DC was vandalized last night..."

"Since when do we get called in for misdemeanors?" asked Tony. Even Ziva looked confused. Tim clicked the controller to the screen and several photographs pulled up.

"They want us to figure out who's supposedly missing." Another click had a full screen shot of the cemetery: all the caskets were displaced and bodies thrown about. The next shot was of a spray painted message on the white picket fence. It read: You are missing one.

"Someone stole a body?"

"Glad to see you caught on DiNozzo." Gibbs attached his gun, prompting the rest of the team to do the same.

"I guess its back to business as normal," muttered Tim as they loaded into the elevator. Agent Lee's funeral had been yesterday. Her apparent betrayal, then heroic efforts had thrown the team out of whack for the past several days.

"What was the McGee?" Tim winced.

"Sorry sir. Didn't mean it like that...I just thought..."

"There you go again, working without tools," joked Tony.

"Working without tools?" asked Ziva. "Just when I think I'm getting the hang of this language, Tony opens his mouth."

"I only meant that we might deserve a little break," said Tim, glaring at Tony who could not wipe the grin off his face.

"Criminals usually don't take the day off- so why should we?" Came the ready answer.

The cemetery looked as if it had been well kept before last night's events. The white fence surrounding it gave it a serene look and the headstones and monuments were in good shape. Ziva and Tony walked row by row documenting all the askew bodies. Some caskets had only been opened while some bodies had been completely removed. The most recent were the most disturbed.

It's sad- being disrupted when you're already dead," commented Ziva.

"Yes, well, while you were morning the dead, I was doing something productive with my thinking."

"Oh really? And what is that?"

"Trying to figure out why I feel like I've been here before."

"Don't hurt yourself by working with the wrong tools," came the playful comeback. "This is where the Director is buried." She pointed to a gravestone with the NCIS emblem engraved on it along with the name Jenny Shepard and her date of birth and death.
