Authors Note: Don't own NCIS or Criminal Minds, just love both shows and the great characters. Hope I do them justice with this.

Someone's Private War: NCIS/ Criminal Minds Crossover

One month earlier: Timothy Mcgee had gone to the conference on profiling that was held at the BAU offices in Quantico, Virginia. He had found it interesting and in particular one agent Emily Prentiss who had been giving the talk along with David Rossi who had written several books on the subject that Tim planned to read. He had gotten her number after things were finished during the dinner portion but hadn't expected to hear from her. Most women were more likely drawn to Tony Dinozzo than him. He was more the well "geek" type than Tony's sometime Casanova persona.

But then she'd called and invited him out for dinner and they began a quiet relationship when they weren't busy working and she didn't have to go out of town for her cases.

He didn't think that their professional lives were about to collide until it happened. Someone killed three female Marines who were using their time in the corps to go to medical school. They were going to lend medical support to the troops in Iraq in a few months . They appeared to be staged suicides by hanging and under which they were drugged before the strangulation so that none of the redheads had fought back.

After the third victim in as many weeks the decision was made to call these serial killings and get some help in finding out who wanted these particular women dead when they only were helping others.
