This is my first attempt at writing an NCIS story. Hopefully you'll like it and I'll continue writing.

Chapter 1

It was their off day and Tony decided to do some outdoor activity instead of just lazying around in his apartment. He grabbed his cellphone from the nightstand and started to call McGee.

"Hey Tim! Got something fun to do today?" he asked the moment McGee picked up his call.

"Hey Tony. If you consider having to stay at home with my aircond broke as fun, then yeah, I'm doing something fun today." McGee was complaining on the other line. Of all the days in the calendar, his apartment's aircond decided to go kaput on his off day. He was already up at 4 a.m. from sweating too much due to the hot temperature.

"Then you're just in luck my friend! I've decided to teach you the fun of wall climbing!" Tony was smiling. He remembered his first wall climbing session with Jeanne. It was so much fun that he sometimes ended up climbing those walls whenever he's having a bad day. Especially after the absence of Jeanne.

"What? Wall climbing? Since when do you even do that?"

"Oh, there's so much more you didn't know about me, Timmy. Come on! It'll be fun. I promise you."

"Okay then. Guess I'll give it a try. It's better than being stuck in this oven for the whole day." McGee said agreeing with Tony's idea.

"Great. I'll pick you up at 9. Your place is on the way to the centre."

In fifteen minutes Tony has already changed into his workout outfit. Don't forget the shoes. We're not gonna cimb those walls wearing the work shoes, again. He was smiling at the memories again. Ahh those good times. Twenty minutes later he was already at McGee's place. After waiting for two minutes, he saw McGee rushing to his car.

"What took you so long McPrincess? Can't decide what to wear?" teased Tony. McGee just pulled a face at the remark.

"Oh, just shut up and drive."

"Ooo...snappy!" Tony just laughed and headed off to the center.

Upon reaching, they were attended by Tony's regular belayer. After getting the needed equipment, they started to equip themselves for the climb. McGee was listening intensely to the instructor's briefing as this is his first time doing he wall climbing.

"How about you go first? It's you first time. No worries, Mark is the best belayer here. He'll make sure you'll be fine." Tony was already pushing McGee at the starting point. McGee was trying his best to not freaked out. Sure it's a little high up there and he's still working on his anxiety for height issue. But he's got to man up. He's a federal agent for god sake. He chased dangerous criminals on daily basis. This stupid wall ain't gonna stop him. With all those self motivation, he checked his harness for the last time and started climbing the first step.

"Go Tim! You can do it!" Tony was cheering intensely from below. Amazingly, Tony's cheer was motivating McGee to move further up the wall. After reaching the top, McGee climbed back down with so much pride in himself. He was actually thankful that Tony talked him in doing this. He can say that it did help a little with his height issue.

"My turn. Watch how the pro do it." Tony smirked and started climbing. McGee watched and cheered for Tony just how Tony did for him just now. It was an awe to McGee just how easy Tony made it looked climbing those walls. Within a few minutes, he was already half way through while laughing like a five years having fun.

Tony was three quater to the top when he was suddenly having this intense pain in his head. Somehow he's vision whas starting to blur a little and he has to actually stop to clear his vision.

"Hey Tony! You okay up there?" McGee was shouthing when he saw Tony slowing down before he stopped suddenly.

"Yeah I'm fine. It's been a while since I last do this." Right after he finished the sentence, his vision went black and his hand loosed their grips before he started falling down. Mark was in shock as he tried to reduce the impact of Tony's fall. Within a few seconds, Tony went from laughing at the top of the wall to sprawling unconsiously on the floor.
