Simple Murder

A dark blue sedan stopped outside a one story house. The house had evidence of a child living there. A woman got out of the car, a marine getting out of the driver's seat. Cover's went on, and they both headed towards the many people outside the building. The marine looked at the NCIS agents, but the woman was looking at the crime. She seemed a bit disturbed by it, but she didn't say anything. In Air Force blues, and a single gold star on her shoulder she was obviously a general. MP's and Security Forces were still around, but not as close as the NCIS agents. She watched the team work efficiently.

"Victoria? Do you mind?" A short old man spoke from behind her. She turned, smiling.

"Of course Ducky!" She stepped aside, her marine escort doing the same. The man kept his gaze ahead of him, as if not wanting to make eye contact with anyone, but watching them all.

"You should step a little farther back, I believe Jethro is not very happy about this one."

"I think I can handle him, Ducky." She grinned at the man, as she did as she was told. The marine beside her sighed. Finally one of the agents moved. Tony, she could see the three family members laying on the ground. Victoria whinced, and glanced at the military personnel who were almost hovering. This was the first crime on Darling, and Victoria was here for a reason, now if only the leader of the NCIS team that had been dispatched would stop pretending to not notice her. She watched the gray haired agent, bairly keeping a smirk from her lips. He was doing a very good job of not paying any attention to her.

"Ma'am?" She turned her head to look at the tall marine next to her. "Should I get Agent Gibbs attention?" he asked. He'd been with her for a year, ever since she'd taken control of the base. He knew how she reacted to things, and how Gibbs reacted to things. But this was really just him not sure what to do now.

"No. Let him be. He'll just be in more trouble the longer it takes." She smiled over at him. It was then that she could feel Jethro's eyes on her. She didn't respond as she continued to speak. "And He has work to do. I'm only here because this is a very large event, and rather a blot on Darling. Usually I wouldn't have time, but as you know, I don't exactly want to have the press all over me not being here. That would… be bad." She frowned. "And I've already got other people telling me I'm too young, inexperienced, and a woman." She growled the last word.

"We knew that General." She turned to look up at Jethro.

"Mind on work, Agent Gibbs." She scolded him, but she couldn't stop herself from smiling. "Do I have to ask?" She motioned behind him.

"Navy Lieutenant and family murdered. We already have a good idea as to who it is. Ziva found some evidence, and that's all your getting General Gibbs." He tried to glare at her. She rolled her eyes.

"I do hope I get the full report, and I promise I won't leak." She caught his hand starting to move then he stopped. He'd wanted to touched her, but then he'd remembered that special rule. No Public Demonstrations of Affection. She smiled a little, shaking her head. "I had to come check in. Also, there's something we have to talk about later. Before you leave Darling." She told him quickly. He stared at her. "No, it's not bad persay. Just come to the op center." She said, before stepping back, not realizing how close they'd gotten before she headed for the sedan. Her shadow started in surprise as she moved off, and quickly followed, but was stopped.

"Lynn." Gibbs spoke quickly. The young marine turned to look at the older man.

"Yes Sir?" He was pensive.

"Do you know what she's talking about?" He didn't say anything about how annoyed he was at the Sir. He hated being called that, but Lynn wouldn't stop it.

"I have been ordered to keep my mouth shut." Lynn said with half a grin. "And I'm not even sure exactly what she's been talking about," he added. Gibbs nodded. Lynn turned and headed to the car, and got in. Jethro stood there and watched the car drive off, heading across the base. Tony stepped up beside him.

"Boss, McGee has abby on the phone, we're searching for the killer now." Tony looked a little flushed, and Gibbs eyed him. "How's Victoria by the way? Haven't actually talked to her in a few days." Gibbs glared at him. "Right. We're almost ready to roll. Ducky's looking over the body now, and we're almost done with evidence… Which I'll go over see." Tony quickly walked off.
