Hey everyone I got a new story for you. This one is a far reach from my others. I'm taking a jab at NCIS this time around. So sit back and enjoy.
…...
It was a foggy Monday morning in DC. The NCIS crew are walking into the office like it's like every other day. However there is something that is off. Seated at one of the spare cubes in the back of the Bullpen is seated someone they don't recognize. This person is a young man is sitting at the desk drumming on it with a pencil in his mouth.
"Who's the kid?" Tony DiNozzo asked Timmy McGee and Ziva David, as he sat down at his desk..
"No idea. Never seen him before." McGee said sitting his bag down behind his desk, sitting down.
"Well maybe we should ask him then." Ziva said showing that straight to the point attitude she owns.
Before any of them can ask, Gibbs walks into the Pen, B-lining to his desk. He stops when he notices the kid in the cube.
"Who the hell are you?" Gibbs asked, the three others looking over. The kid turned around and took the pencil out of his mouth and was about to speak when the director walked in
"He's your newest agent." Director Leon Vance said walking into the pen, the kid standing up. "Fresh out of selection from Philadelphia."
"4 years of military training sir." The kid said.
"You got a name kid?" Gibbs asked.
"Brain Cice sir." The kid said.
"What branch of the military you from?" Gibbs asked.
"Marines sir." Brian said.
"You don't have to call me sir." Gibbs said, drawing a slight chuckle out of Tony and Mcgee.
"Oh sorry." Brian said turning a light pink.
"It's okay. Do you know what you're getting into?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes I do." Brian said.
Gibbs stared at Brian for alittle, sizing him up. After a few more moments of awkward silence, Gibbs smiled alittle.
"Welcome to the team kid." Gibbs said patting Brian's shoulder, walking back to his desk, answering his phone.
Brian smiled in relief as the small grill session ended. Brian sat back down as the three other agents walked over.
"Pleased to meet ya Probie. Name's Tony." Tony said introducing himself to Brian.
"Save the intros for later. We got a call. We got an abandoned body and a crime scene to set up. New Kid, you're coming too." Gibbs said.
"Oh okay." Brian said getting up and following Gibbs and the others.
35 minutes later, Brian was standing on the side of a road, staring at a dead body. It was the first dead body Brian has seen up close. It was awe inspiring and pretty gross in its own ways.
"This man was found by a jogger at 10:45 this morning." McGee said taking pictures of the body.
"Man is John Doe. No forms of id anywhere on his body. Also no cell phone. Whoever this man was, either was under the radar or has had his identity stolen." Tony said.
That was when the corner came up. He knelt down next to the body, put on his latex gloves, and started to check the body. He also noticed Brian staring at the body.
"Ah, you must be the new recruit I've heard about." He said with a smile. Brian smiled and knelt down next to him.
"Yes sir. Name's Brian Cice." Brian said.
"Dr. Mallard but you can call me Ducky." Ducky said. "First time seeing a dead body?"
"That obvious?" Brian asked.
"Alittle. Of course it's a natural reaction. The fear of a dead body dates back to the Bubonic Plague actually." Ducky said checking for wounds.
"For the fear that it was diseased right?" Brian asked.
"Correct. Ever since then we have seen the dead as diseased filled more than a person we may have known or loved. Ah Gibbs, I believe we found the cause of death." Ducky said.
"What did you find?" Gibbs asked kneeling down.
"I believe our cause of death has officially become a murder…" Ducky says pointing to a fresh bullet wound located right in the region of the chest where the heart is.
"That's a 40 millimeter bullet wound." Brian said.
"You think so?" Gibbs asked, sounding somewhat impressed. "Ducky..."
"Yes yes. When we get out Mr. Doe back to the lab, we'll check for a bullet." Ducky said calling over his assistant Palmer to help load the body onto the gurney and pushing him into the ambulance.
Several hours later, after all the loose ends are tied up, Brian headed back to the office with the rest of the agents. As Brian sat at his desk in the back, he constantly felt like someone was watching him. He turned around to see Tony, Ziva, and McGee all staring at him, studying him almost.
"Can I help you?" Brian asked.
"Just trying to get a gauge from you Probie." Tony said. "Like how you came into our field."
"It's simple. I was studying forensics while receiving my marine training. After I graduated, I was assigned to the NCIS. And here I am." Brian said. As he was explaining his little back story, a woman came running up. She was an oddly dressed woman, wearing mostly black clothes, heels, and had two pig tails in her hair. Brian connected the look to a gothic style.
"Is he the one I was hearing about?" The woman asked Ziva, who simply nodded. The woman then came up and pulled Brian into a tight hug, getting a laugh from Tony and McGee. "Oh it's a pleasure to meet you." She said finally letting go of Brian after almost crushing him. "I'm Abby. I work in the labs doing forensics."
"Hi, I'm Brian….are you a hugger?" He asked.
"I am." Abby said smiling proudly.
"I'll keep that in mind." Brian said rubbing his sore ribs, sitting down as Gibbs walked in with his coffee and a large Café-Pow.
"Abby." Gibbs said handing her the giant drink.
"Already ahead of you Gibbs. I've ran a diagnostic on our mystery man to get his identity." Abby said sipping her drink.
"And?" Gibbs asked.
"He was Eric Perez. Make that Private First Class Eric Perez. He was stationed on a navy vessel that docked into the harbor last week." McGee said putting the dead man's navy picture on the big screen. "From what I could dig up, Perez was the stereotypical recruit. Excited to be serving and was always willing to better himself."
"Which begs the question. Why would someone off this kid?" Gibbs asked. "Kid, go check up on Ducky's report."
"Yes Gibbs." Brian said getting up. He walked out of the of the Bullpen and turned left, getting a chuckle out of from crew. "Other way kid." Gibbs said rolling his eyes.
"I knew that." Brian said walking the other way. He got into the elevator and headed down to the morgue where Ducky was busy with the body.
"Ah yes, Mr. Cice, I was actually just finishing my exam and I believe your hunch was in fact correct." Ducky said motioning Brian over. Ducky held up a small glass jar with a bullet in it.
"Anything else Ducky?" Brian asked looking at the opened dead body, going alittle pale in the face.
"Oh yes. His wrists are scarred and burned which I believe says that he tied up." Ducky said. "Is something wrong, Mr. Cice?"
"It's just I'm looking….at another's man liver…." Brian said shaking his head. "So he was tied up? Anything else?"
"Yes. There was some bruising on the top of his head which came from a blow to the head. Non-lethal though." Ducky said.
"So now we must figure out who and why did this." Brian said. "I'm gonna go take the bullet over to Abby. Thanks Ducky." Brian said.
"My pleasure Mr. Cice." Ducky said as Brian left the morgue to head to the lab. When he got to the lab, Abby was there along with Ziva and Tony.
"Abby, found the bullet, could you run it through?" Brian asked holding up the jar with the bullet.
"Of course." Abby said taking the bullet.
"What we watching here?" Brian asked standing next to Tony.
"Surveillance footage from the highway where Perez was found." Tony said studying the camera footage.
"Any luck?" Brian asked.
"No. The camera wasn't pointing at where Perez was dumped during that time." Ziva said.
"It's never that easy is it?" Brian asked.
"No it's not." Tony said.
"Well they say patience is a virtual." Ziva said, getting a confused look from Brian.
"It's virtue Ziva, and Brian you get used to Ziva's…..Ziva-isms." Tony said earning a glare from Ziva.
"Well either way, this is a dead end. We are gonna need to start from circle one." Ziva said.
"Square one and yes." Tony said.
"And who says the first day has to be easy." Brian said shaking his head.
