INTRODUCTION: I was recently introduced to this fanfic website. I started writing a series of stories back in August. I thought it would be a fun thing to do and I'll keep the series going as long as I can. The as long as I can, basically means as long as I can keep coming up with case ideas for the team to investigate. I do introduce a new character, my own original character who I hope you come to like as the series progresses. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the entire series I'll be writing. NOTE: This series is post-Hiatus, includes nothing of season 4. Also, the series does not include Jenny and Palmer. I've avoided using them because I'm not particularly fond of Jenny, and Palmer, well, he's alright.

Monday
Chapter 1
Ziva steps off the elevator, walks to the bullpen, stands in front of her desk and places her bag down. She glances over at McGee's desk to notice he isn't there. She wonders where McGee is.
"I can't believe I actually got here before McGee." She muttered softly.
"You didn't." McGee answered.
She leans over the desk to see McGee partially under it.
"Why are you under my desk?" She asked.
"On Friday you asked me to fix your computer, remember." He said.
"Oh, that's right. Are you able to fix it?"
"Of course I can. I went to M.I.T. And there's no way you're ever going to get to work before me. But look on the bright-side… At least you always get here before Tony." McGee said with a smile.
Tony steps off the elevator.
"Speaking of Tony, look what the elevator brought us." Ziva said sarcastically.
Tony approaches the bullpen. He raises his eyebrow and smiles.
"Sorry McGee. No satisfying Ziva today."
McGee looks up from sitting on the floor behind Ziva's desk. McGee has a confused expression on his face. Ziva rolls her eyes at Tony's sexual comment.
"I'm fixing her computer."
"Sure you are, McGee."
Ziva just looks at Tony and wonders if he'll ever grow up.
"But that's why I'm under here."
"The sexual fantasies will have to wait, McGee. Both of you grab your gear. And call Ducky. We got something." Tony begins walking to the elevator at this point. "And you're gassing the truck, McSexualFantasy."
"What do we have?" Ziva asked as she follows after him.
"We got a dead retired Naval Captain, a dead Petty Officer, the son, and a missing wife."
"What sexual fantasy?" McGee wondered as he trails behind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The team arrives at the crime-scene; the Samson residence, located somewhere in Virginia. The team walks up to the house and is greeted by the Sheriff.
"You must be from NCIS." Sheriff Charles Rutten greeted them.
"Special Agent DiNozzo." Tony said as he flashes his badge. "This is Officer, David." He points to her. "Special Agent McGee." He points to him. "And our M.E. Dr. Mallard." He points to Ducky. So what more can you tell me about what happened here?"
"Not much more than what I told you on the phone. It happened sometime yesterday evening. I immediately called NCIS because I knew Jay used to be in the navy…" Sheriff Rutten begins to explain as they all enter into the house through the front door.
"Oh my God…" McGee said in amazement.
They all stop to look at the dead body on the floor.
"Yeah, he was shot in the face after opening the door, I presume." Sheriff Charles Rutten stated. "Anyway… There are no signs of forced entry. It appears he just opened the door for the person or persons responsible. Maybe he knew who it was. My guess is that this is the son, Kevin…"
"DNA will have to confirm that." Ducky stated as he starts examining the body.
"The body of Jay is in the living room. He was shot in the chest three times."
"And the wife?" Ziva asked.
"Betty… Nowhere to be found Ma'am."
"Please… Don't call me Ma'am. Call me Ziva."
"As I was saying…" The Sheriff continues. "I doubt Betty had anything to do with this."
"Why do you say that?" McGee wondered.
"She's the sweetest lady you'll ever meet. She's the type of person who welcomes you into her home and tells you all about her family and how proud she is of them. I knew the Samson's very well and I've never heard of any problems between Jay and Betty, or even their son and daughter…"
"Hold on..." Tony stopped him. "Daughter? You never mentioned a daughter when you called. Where is she?"
"Jamie… She's also missing. As we speak, I have my people looking for both of them. Also, nothing appears to be stolen from what I can remember from being here so many times."
"Thank you, Sheriff." Tony said.
"If you need anymore help, give me a ring." Sheriff Rutten walks out of the house.
Once the Sheriff leaves the area, Tony looks to the team.
"So what we have are two dead bodies… Two missing people… No forced entry… Nothing stolen… A perfect family setting…" Tony begins to ponder out loud. "Ziva, pictures. McGee, bag and tag. You take this floor. I'll take the upstairs."
Ziva begins taking pictures of both bodies. Tony goes upstairs and looks around. McGee walks to the back of the house. He notices a blood trail coming from the backstairs and leading to the backyard. Tony, who is on the second floor, finds the beginning to the blood trail.
"Tony!" McGee yelled to get his attention about what he found on the first floor. "I got something."
"So do I!" Tony exclaimed.
McGee follows the small blood trail up the backstairs. Tony follows the blood trail down the backstairs from the second floor. They both round the corner halfway between floors. They bump into each other. Tony looses his balance, grabs McGee and they both fall to the floor of the stair separator between floors, where the corner of the wall is which blocked their view from each other and caused them to bump into each other in the first place. Now, Tony is lying on the stair separator and McGee is partially on top of him.
"If you don't get your knee out of my crouch…" Tony starts a threat. McGee moves immediately.
"The trail leads to the back door." McGee said to get the change of subject going.
"Do you know where it goes after that?" Tony asked as he finally stands and fixes his clothing.
"No."
"Don't you think you should find out after you take a sample of this blood?"
"Yes, Boss." McGee follows the blood trail to the back of the house where a sliding glass door opens to the back patio.
"Tony!" Ziva shouted.
"What?" Tony shouted back.
"I think we have Feds!"
"Oh great…" Tony sighed. He runs down the back stairs. "McGee, forget following the trail. Take a sample of this blood. Quickly!"
Tony walks toward the front end of the house just as a couple men in black suits enter.
"Sorry fellas. No aliens here." Tony joked.
"We're CIA bone-head." One of the men said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. With those black suits I thought you were MIB. You know… The movie Men in Black, starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones." Tony said. "Now what do I owe this pleasure of your company?" He's being sarcastic at this point.
"We're taking over this investigation. So pack your stuff and leave."
"This is a retired dead Naval Captain, which makes it our jurisdiction. So we're not going anywhere." Tony proclaimed.
"This is a YGS site which makes it the jurisdiction of the CIA, no matter who the victim is." The man stated in a strong voice. "Escort NCIS off this crime-scene before they contaminate it." The group of CIA agents escorts the NCIS team out of the house.
The NCIS team walks to their truck. They place their belongings into the truck and get ready to leave.
"Do any of you know what YGS stands for?" Tony wondered.
"Not a clue." Ducky replied.
"Never heard of it before." McGee replied.
"Ziva?"
"Don't look at me."
"Huh…" Tony ponders over this. "Must be a CIA thing."
"I guess we're done here." Ziva stated.
"Not quite. Just because these CIA punks kicked us out of the house, doesn't mean we're done." Tony said.
"But I have no bodies." Ducky stated.
"And they took my camera." Ziva said.
"We don't need either." Tony stated.
"Why's that, Boss?" McGee wondered.
"You took a sample of that blood I asked you to, right McGee?"
McGee reaches into his pants for the closed evidence bag which contains the blood sample.
"Yes I did." McGee answered with a smile. Than he realizes what Tony meant about not needing the body or photos. "Oh…"
"They can have the crime-scene. All we need to do is find who that blood belongs to." Tony said wisely. Tony's facial expression suddenly turns perplexed. "Wait a second… McGee… Did you just pull that out from your underwear?"
"Yeah…" McGee said with a look of embarrassment upon his face.
"There's no way I'm touching that." Ziva stated.
"When I saw them take your camera, I thought they might try checking my pockets. So the only place I could think…" McGee starts defending himself.
"In your underwear, McGee… For shame." Tony slowly shakes his head. He pauses for a couple seconds. "Great job McGee! Now that's how you improvise. Ziva, you'd do well to follow McGee's example."
"By sticking evidence in my underwear? I'll pass."
McGee holds the evidence bag up to Ziva.
"Can you hold this for me?"
"I would never want to hold that. Besides, your little buddy…" Ziva points to McGee's private area. "…Might get lonely without its bagged companion."
"I'm not little…"
The team gets into the truck and heads back to NCIS headquarters.
