Chapter One

A young couple walked down the sidewalk in Norfolk, Virginia. They happily held hands and spoke of their daughter's achievements. These two were quite noticeable for the special fact that they were both red-heads, bright, vivid, red-heads.

Quite suddenly, a black van whipped around the corner. A black cylinder poked out from the window of the vehicle, showing lethal intent. The van came close and closer until they were within firing range. At that point, a passenger began to shoot at them, killing them almost instantly.

Several people raced out of their nearby homes, running to see what was going on. When the first person saw the two dead bodies and the car speeding away, they immediately whipped out their phone and called 911.

Special Agent Tony Dinozzo walked in to the Squad Room at the NCIS building to find one of his colleagues, Tim McGee, typing furiously on his computer. After a few seconds, Time sat back and sighed heavily. "What's up, McNerdy? Glitch in the system?"

"I've been trying to make this work for the last three hours," he said dejectedly.

"Gear up! Drive by shooting at Norfolk!" their boss, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, called.

The team in the squad room quickly jumped to their feet. Each of them shouldered a backpack or other such bag before hurrying to the elevator, following their boss.
