Here we go! Chapter One! Enjoy :-)

I DO NOT own NCIS, Rizzoli & Isles are anything related to it. All original characters (Daniel Levi and Skylar Williams) are my own.

NCIS Director Leon Vance sat at his desk working on his latest stacks of case reviews when he heard the knock on the door.

"Come in," said Vance, never looking up from his work.

In walked Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the expression on his face said it all. "You wanted to see me?"

Vance gestured to the seat across from him at his desk. "Have a seat."

Gibbs sat down in the chair.

Vance slid a manila envelope to the agent.

Gibbs picked up the envelope, reading the content inside. "The Ramirez Brothers case."

"Sean and John Ramirez, master chiefs in the Navy, raped and murdered four women in Norfolk before fleeing the state."

"John was caught in North Carolina two weeks later, wouldn't take the plea bargain to give up Sean's location, case went cold."

"Well, it just got hot again. Bodies have been discovered by Boston Homicide and the M.O. bares a close resemblance to Ramirez case."

"Think Sean is back at it?"

"Don't know? But the least victim was one of ours. Petty Officer Julie Singer, she was a naval Israeli translator home on leave from a mission in the Middle East."

"Reopening the case?"

"I want to know if this is Ramirez and not just a copycat. Seeing that Ducky was the M.E. who over saw the previous case, I want him to examine the body. If his findings are consistent with that of the previous case, we will reopen the case. If not, we will let Boston Homicide handle it."

"Well the NCIS agents in Boston are going to have to handle it, me and my team are already neck deep in a case. I can't sacrifice any of my people right now, not even Ducky!" Gibbs closed the folder sliding it back to Vance.

"Your case, your lead Gibbs."

Gibbs stared at Vance. "You know my rules?"

"I've picked up a few. I believe that is number 38?"

Gibbs let in impressed half smile escape his lips.

"I'm having the body escorted back here along with M.E. who has been handling the current case."

"Why the M.E.? Ducky can handle the autopsy."

"The M.E. at Boston P.D. has already done an initial autopsy, Ducky's will be a secondary autopsy thus for consistency purposes."

"Can't they just send back the autopsy report along with the body?"

"You questioning my actions, Gibbs?"

"No, it just seems like an inconvenience to drag a medical examiner all the way from Boston to oversee a secondary autopsy."

"Psychological analysis, the M.E. is familiar with this killer's work as Ducky is with ours. It will help us determine if this is Ramirez we're dealing with."

"Do what you want, Leon. Just as long as this doesn't interfere with my case."

"It won't," Leon pressed the intercom on his desk phone. "Send in Agents Levi and Williams."

"Levi and Williams?"

"They are being temporarily assigned to your team to help with this investigation."

"Oh no! Not those two!"

"They are only here to assist as needed."

There was another knock at the door.

"Come in!"

In walked NCIS agents Daniel Levi and Skylar Williams. Daniel Levi was a well put together, well-toned man in his early thirties. From the look of his appearance, you could tell he was a no nonsense kind of guy, he was about doing his job and doing it to the best of his abilities. Skylar Williams, on the hand, was a fresh faced agent in her twenties who looked like she should have been graduating college rather than working as a third year probationary agent at NCIS.

"Agent Levi, Agent Williams, you know Agent Gibbs?"

Daniel reached out a hand to Gibbs. "Agent Gibbs, Agent Daniel Levi, nice to meet you! Heard many things about you!"

"Wish I could say the same," replied Gibbs, looking Daniel up and down.

"This is my partner, Agent Skylar Williams."

Skylar shook Gibbs' hand. "Nice to meet you, sir!"

Gibbs said nothing.

"Agent Williams and Levi you will be temporarily assigned to Gibbs' team to assist on a case until his team is ready to take over. Your first assignment will be to escort a body along with a medical examiner from Boston back here. You think you two can handle that?"

"Yes, sir," replied Skylar and Daniel.

"Very good! You are schedule to leave on a flight for Boston first thing tomorrow morning. Don't miss it!" said Director Vance as he handed the manila envelope to Agent Levi.

"Can do, Director! And Agent Gibbs if there is anything you need from us, don't hesitate to ask," replied Daniel.

"Oh, I won't Agent Levi," replied Gibbs.

Daniel and Skylar exited the room.

Agent Levi and Agent Williams walked down the stairs to the NCIS Squad Room.

"Check us out, Levi! We got our first special assignment! And with Gibbs' team!" exclaimed Skylar.

"Don't get too excited, Williams!" replied Daniel.

"We haven't gotten any type of work in months. It's a nice change of pace from pushing papers!"

"If I recall the reason why we are pushing papers is because you failed to follow orders on our last assignment, Probie" spat Daniel at Skylar causing her to stop in her tracks.

"I made a mistake, Daniel! No one got hurt!"

"No one got hurt?"

"Okay, maybe one person got hurt but they're fine now!"

Daniel ignored Skylar, throwing the envelope onto his desk before flopping down in his chair.

"So what does it say?" asked Skylar as she walked over to Levi who read the content of the folder.

"Nothing! All that's in here are plane tickets, a piece of a paper with the address to the Boston Police Department and the name of the M.E."

"What's the name?"

"Maura!" shouted Detective Jane Rizzoli as she walked into the autopsy room to find her best friend and Chief Medical Examiner of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Dr. Maura Isles, hovering over a body on the table. "I'm starving! You want to hit up the café for lunch?"

"You are by no means starving, Jane! You have no loss of muscle mass and you so no signs of catabolysis!" replied the honey blonde Medical Examiner, never looking up from the body on her table.

"You know what I mean? I'm hungry! I could go for some of Ma's Mac N Cheese with ketchup?"

"What no chocolate covered bacon?"

"I'm eating healthy," joked Jane.

"You might try some leafy greens instead."

Jane rolled her eyes. "Are you coming or what?"

"I'm almost done here. Any luck identifying our latest victim?"

"Yeah, she's Petty Officer Julie Singer."

"Petty Officer? She's in the Navy?"

"Apparently. Frost is trying to get more info," Jane watched as the expression on Maura's face changed. "What?"

"Well, it's odd! None of the other victims were in the Navy."

"I know. But the M.O.'s match so it's got to be our guy."

"My analysis shows that the killer is methodical in picking his victims. Why all of a sudden go after a naval officer?"

"She was home on leave, we found her in civilian clothes, guessing he didn't know she was in the Navy?"

"You know I don't like guessing, Jane."

Jane rolled her eyes as Maura continued her examination of the body on the table. Meanwhile, Jane tapped her foot impatiently.

"You're foot tapping is very distracting!"

"That's because I'm very hungry! All I had for breakfast were those nasty ass Quinoa pancakes Ma made in the café!"

"They were a bit gritty, weren't they?"

"You think?"

Daniel Levi walked into autopsy, startling the two women.

"Can I help you?" asked Jane.

Daniel flashed his badge. "Agent Levi and Agent…" Daniel looked to his side to see that he was alone. He walked back out the door. "Williams!"

Skylar came running down the hall. "Sorry, I got lost!"

Daniel rolled his eyes. "Agent Levi and Agent Williams, NCIS."

"NCIS?" questioned Jane.

"It stands for…"

"Naval Criminal Investigative Services," finished Maura.

"Right! Most people think that we are from the National Crop Insurance Service," joked Skylar.

"Navy cops? What are you doing here?" asked Jane.

"We are here to escort the body of Petty Office Singer back to our agency," said Daniel.

"Claim the body? What? No!"

"Petty Officer Singer's death is a matter to be handled by NCIS, ma'am!"

"Ma'am?"

"I'm sorry, you're…"

"Rizzoli! Detective Jane Rizzoli!"

"And I'm talking to you because?"

"Because I'm the detective leading the homicide investigation in her murder!"

"Not anymore! NCIS will be taking over!"

"No, you're not! That body is evidence in a Boston Homicide serial murder investigation!"

Skylar interrupted. "We are not trying to step on toes here Detective Rizzoli. Crimes involving the Navy are handled by NCIS, we are just carrying out orders."

"Murders that happen in Boston, are handled by Boston Homicide. Orders or not, this is our case and you aren't getting that body!"

Daniel handed Jane papers. "I thought you might say something like that."

Jane read the documents. "A federal warrant for the body."

"Yep! Federal trumps local. The body is coming with us! Now, where can we find the M.E. who performed the autopsy?"

"What do you need with the M.E.?" asked Maura.

Daniel pulled out another set of papers. "Our Director has asked that we bring them back along with the body."

"What?" asked Maura, pulling off her gloves before taking the papers from Daniel. "Why do I need to go?"

"You're Dr. Maura Isles?" asked Daniel.

"Yes, I performed the autopsy on the body."

"The Navy has asked for your assists in this investigation."

"Not only do you want the body, you want my M.E. too?" asked Jane.

"It's just for a few days."

"Well I'm going to need some time to call in another M.E. to take over while I'm gone," said Maura.

"No you won't because you aren't going!" spat Jane, taking the paper from Maura and slamming them in Daniel's chest. "I don't know who you NCSI people think you are coming in here flashing your badges and trying to take over my case but it's not happening! This body and Dr. Isles are staying here!"

"Is that so, Detective Rizzoli?" asked Levi.

"Yeah!"

"Well we will just see about that?" Daniel and Skylar left autopsy leaving the two women standing alone.

"This is bullshit! I fucking hate Feds!" exclaimed Jane.

"Jane, the language!" retorted Maura.

"They are always coming in here, flashing their little badges and pushing us around! This is my case!"

"It's federal warrant, Jane! And she is a naval officer."

"So? This is a Boston Homicide Investigation! They are not taking the body! Or you!"

"I have to go!"

"No, you don't!"

"Jane?"

"You're not going, Maura! If they want you they are going to have to arrest you!"

"I prefer not to be arrested, Jane."

Jane's phone buzzed. She looked at the message and let out a heavy groan. "Uh! Cavanagh want to see us! How much you want to bet it has to do with those damn Navy cops?"

"I'm not one for betting," said Maura, as she followed Jane out of autopsy.

Upstairs, Jane and Maura walked into Lieutenant Cavanagh's office. Just as she suspected, Daniel and Skylar were also in his office, Daniel wearing a slick smile on his face.

"Give NCIS the body, Detective Rizzoli," ordered the Lieutenant, hanging up the phone.

"Sir, the body is evidence in a Boston Homicide case…"

"She's a naval officer, Rizzoli! Jurisdiction falls with NCIS. Boston Homicide will continue to look into the homicide here but the body is to be released to NCIS and Dr. Isles will accompany it to D.C."

"You're sending our M.E.?"

"I just got off the phone with the Director of NCIS, they believe that our case may be connected with one of theirs. Dr. Isles with go to D.C. to assist in a secondary autopsy as well as help them psychological profile our killer."

"D.C.? What if our killer strikes again? I need Dr. Isles here!"

"I'm sure Dr. Isles will find a suitable replacement to fill her position in here absence."

"I will get on that right now sir," said Maura.

"Our flight is scheduled to leave at 9am tomorrow morning. Please have the body ready for transport by 7am," said Daniel as he left the office, giving Jane a cheeky smile on his way out.

"If you need any help with anything, just ah…let me know!" said Skylar as she exited behind Daniel.

Jane looked at Cavanagh.

"Don't worry about what NCIS is doing, Rizzoli. I want you focused on finding who did this to that Petty Officer."

"Of course," spat Jane storming out of the office, Maura right behind her.

"I wonder what the weather is like in D.C. this time of year? You think open toed shoes would be okay or should I wear boots?"

Jane stopped dead in her tracks. "Really, Maura?"
