Hi! I read this story the other day and I don't understand why I don't have a review on this story saying that this story makes no sense. It confused me! But I figured it out and that is why some details have been changed. I will be going through all of my stories fixing mistakes. That is all; please enjoy the newly edited version of Broken Night; my first story. :) ~ ncismka233
It was a beautiful fall evening in Shenandoah State Park in late November of 2004; a young man with short brown hair and beautiful blue eyes was climbing a tree while his girlfriend; a beautiful young woman with curly brown hair and hazel eyes watched him.
"If you go any higher, you're gonna kill yourself if you fall, Justin." The young woman said.
"Chrissy, how many times do I have to say it? I am not going to fall; I'm a commander in the Navy. They don't come more professional than me." Justin said. Chrissy rolled her eyes and said,
"Just don't get hurt Justin, it's at least eight miles to the nearest road."
"I promise you, I will not get hurt." Immediately following that statement from Justin, a loud gunshot rang out from what sounded like half a mile away.
"What was that?" Chrissy asked.
"I don't know." Justin said as he looked over a branch. "Maybe a hunter?" Justin kept looking over a branch until another shot rang out and hit Justin in the face. "Ah!" Justin cried out as he fell out of the tree and hit the ground hard. When Justin hit the ground, he landed on his back. Chrissy could hear the cracking of bones from Justin's body as she ran towards him.
"Justin! Are you okay?!" Chrissy asked frantically as she took her gloves off and felt Justin's neck. When she did not feel a pulse, she ran towards a cabin that she and Justin passed on the way to the large pine trees. At NCIS, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo was in the elevator heading up to the squad room. He rubbed his head since he was not feeling very well that morning. Even though Tony knew he was sick, he felt that he could still work since he didn't feel completely sick. When the elevator reached the squad room, Tony stepped off and started to walk towards his desk. When Tony saw Ziva and McGee already at their desks, he said,
"Morning Ziva, McTechno."
"Hey Tony." McGee replied. Tony looked over at Ziva to see her reading a book with a focused look on her face.
"What are reading, the dictionary?" Tony asked.
"No, the constitution." Ziva said while still looking at the book.
"Oh that's right, Miss Ziva David is applying to be a U.S. citizen." Tony said as he flung his bag from his shoulder to the empty floor space by his desk. Tony leaned back on his desk chair and closed his eyes to rest since he had trouble sleeping last night and only got three hours of sleep. A few moments later Ziva said,
"Uh, Tony."
"Not now, Ziva." Tony said while still closing his eyes. Tony soon realized that Gibbs was probably glaring. He slowly opened his eyes and sure enough Gibbs was standing in front of Tony's desk holding his usual cup of coffee, glaring at him.
"I wasn't sleeping boss, I was meditating."
"Meditate on your own time, DiNozzo." Gibbs said as he walked to his desk. "Grab your gear. We got a dead Navy Commander in Shenandoah. DiNozzo, gas the truck, Ziva, you're driving." Gibbs instructed.
"Boss, why are you letting her drive; did you wake up this morning wanting to die?" Tony asked Gibbs.
"I was going to ask you the same thing DiNozzo." Gibbs said. Ziva and Tony looked at each other as the elevator doors closed and Ziva had an evil and mischievous look in her eyes.
