AN: Hello FanFiction world! Well this is my first NCIS fanfic, and I hope it's at least half way decent, if not, then… oh well! I hope you like it! Review please so I can get some feedback :)

Chapter 1

Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo basically strutted out of the elevator and into the bullpen with a 1,000 watt smile on his face.

"You are late, Tony," Officer Ziva David told him.

Tony rolled his eyes, "Thanks, Mom," Tony replied to her sarcastically, throwing his back pack into its usual spot next to his desk.

Ziva looked at him confused, "I am not your mother," she stated.

Tony turned on his computer and looked up at her, "It's an expression Zee-vah," he said, purposely drawing out her name, hoping to annoy her.

Ziva rolled her eyes, "I will never understand your American idioms," she said and shook her head.

Tony glanced around at the empty bullpen, noticing it was only the two of them, "Where's McGeek?"

"Down with Abby," Ziva replied, not looking up from her computer.

"Bossman?" Tony asked her once again.

"MTAC," she replied. Tony nodded.

"So…," Ziva started, "What was your reason for being late, hm?" she asked curiously.

Tony looked up and smiled, "Hot date, like really hotdate," he said smugly.

Ziva blushed and looked down, "I see."

Tony nodded, "Yeah, bright blonde hair, the longest legs I've ever seen, and, oh my God, her b- "

The head slap echoed across the office floor.

"We don't need to hear her measurements, DiNozzo," Gibbs said, taking a sip of his usual black coffee.

Tony rubbed the back of his head, "My bad, Boss," he said.

"Where's McGee?" Gibbs asked.

"Down with Abby-" Tony started.

"Well go get him!" he barked, "We got a dead Marine in Quantico."

Tony nodded and ran to the elevator when Ziva smirked and turned back to her computer smugly.

"Rule 12, David," Gibbs said and turned on his computer too.

Ziva cursed in Hebrew.

~~N~~C~~I~~S~~ ~~N~~C~~I~~S~~ ~~N~~C~~I~~S~~

Tony returned with McGee, they and Ziva grabbed their bags and followed Gibbs to the now closing elevator doors.

They all soon arrived at the crime scene; it was in a nice little house in a friendly neighborhood. No one expected a murder to occur.

The team walked into the house and could see blood stains all over the ground and could smell the awful scent of death.

"There are blood marks on the ground, Gibbs," Ziva told him while pointing to the red marks on the ground.

"Yeah, I can see that," Gibbs said, walking into the living room, where the body was located.

They went towards the body that was laying face down in a once beige colored couch, which was now drenched in red blood. The body had an obvious open stab wound on his back.

Tony walked across the room, "I got the weapon, Boss," he told Gibbs, while looking curiously at the murder weapon. It was an axe stuck in a door with dried blood that was once dripping down the handle.

"Man, this reminds me of The Shining," Tony said, "Great movie, 'Here's Johnny!'" he exclaimed with his almost perfect imitation of Jack Nicholson.

"DiNozzo! Pay attention for once will you?" Gibbs barked at him.

"Sorry, Boss," Tony looked down.

"Rule 6, DiNozzo," Gibbs said, bending down to get a closer look at the body.

"Won't happen again, Boss," Tony corrected himself.

"It actually will happen again, DiNozzo," Gibbs responded, shaking his head at his agent's antics.

Gibbs sighed, "DiNozzo, pictures, McGee, bag-and-tag, Ziva… interview the neighbors."

All three agents nodded, quickly getting to their jobs.

"I.D.?" Gibbs asked.

"Um, this is Lieutenant Michael Murray," McGee responded.

Just then, Ducky entered the room with Jimmy Palmer following closely behind like a lost puppy.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry Jethro, the traffic was bloody horrible," Ducky said, "Plus, Mr. Palmer's navigation skills, or lack there of rather, made it a great deal more difficult to get here."

Jimmy looked down, muttering some sort of apology, obviously embarrassed.

"It's no problem, Duck," Gibbs replied.

Ducky turned toward the body and bent down, "Oh, my dear boy," he said softly, examining the stab wound on his back.

"Time of death?" Gibbs asked him.

Ducky nodded and took out his liver probe, easily sliding it into the Marine's side. Ducky took it out and replied, "Why, only about 6 or 7 hours ago, Jethro," Ducky told him.

"Cause?" Gibbs asked again.

"I would assume it would be this rather large stab wound on his back as the cause of his demise. I shall find out more once we get him back though."

Gibbs nodded, "How're you doing with the pictures, DiNozzo?" Gibbs looked towards Tony.

"Just finished, Boss," Tony replied.

"Yeah, I'm done too," McGee piped in.

"No one asked you, Probie," Tony told McGee, who just ignored him.

Gibbs, ignoring Tony as well, nodded again, "DiNozzo, go get Ziva, see how she's doing with the interviews. If she's not done, go help her."

"Don't you think that's a job for McProbie over there?" Tony asked.

Gibbs shook his head, "No, actually, I don't DiNozzo."

McGee smirked, "Yeah, Senior Field Agent."

DiNozzo glared at him, and stomped out the house and across the street.

After knocking on a few house doors, and following where the neighbors saw Ziva go after they talked to her themselves, he wound up at yet another door.

He sighed and knocked on another door.

No answer.

Tony looked out to the driveway and saw a car present. They were home. He knocked again.

No answer.

Getting annoyed, he hit the door once hard and yelled, "Federal Agent! Open the door!"

Tony heard a glass shattering inside. That was the signal for him. Drawing his gun, Tony kicked the door open and quickly ran inside. Moving slowly into the house, he heard a muffled woman's scream behind a door to his right.

He quickened his pace a bit, standing right outside the door the scream came from. His gun still drawn, he opened the door and quickly burst in.

Well, he sure found Ziva.

Whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, Tony didn't know.

AN: Well that's Chapter 1! Review, and all criticism is welcome. I'm almost done with Chapter 2 and plan to have it up as soon as possible. Again, this is my first NCIS fanfic, so it may not be the best out there, but give it a try. :)

Thanks for reading!
