Chapter 1

Tony sat back in his chair with his feet propped up on his desk asleep. It was early in the morning and Ziva and Tim whispered and laughed together while casting occasional glances in Tony's direction. Tony popped an eye open and saw them snickering. He glared at them "What are you laughing about" Tony growled.

"Oh nothing," Ziva said slyly "just the fact that you snore like a girl that's all" Tony sat up and placed his feet on the floor "I do not!"

"Yes, you do DiNozzo" Gibbs said as he walked into the offices. "Pack it up, we have a naval yard disturbance call."

"Any, body?" Ziva asked. "Not yet" Gibbs responded as he stepped into the elevator with his team behind him. Gibbs and his team pulled up to the house where the disturbance was reported and knocked on the door. An old woman opened the door. "hello mama, special agent Gibbs, what seems to be the problem" he asked. The old lady shuffled out of the way and pulled the door open more.

"I'll show you," she said allowing Gibbs to step inside. She took him to the back yard and pointed at the neighbor's fence. "it's there on the fence and on all over the ground." Gibbs walked over to the fence and stared at it.

On the top of the fence, there was a smeared handprint of blood and a small trail lead down the panels of the fence, at the bottom, lying in the flowerbed was a lone eye staring back at him.

Mcgee took photos of the scene while Tony bagged the evidence and took samples, Ziva finished interviewing the old lady and walked over to Gibbs to report her findings.

"She said early this morning around 5 while she was looking out the kitchen window she saw someone hopped over her fence and continue running and hopped over the other fence and disappeared, she said she found this very weird but didn't think too much of it, until later this morning when she was watering her flowers that she saw the eyeball and blood, that's when she called us." Ziva said as she walked along with Gibbs to the front of the house.

"She also expressed some concern for her neighbors saying she saw someone peering into their house this morning too, she said she called the neighbors but they never picked up. She doesn't know if the man ever entered the house but she said she knows the man is still there because his car is still parked outside" Ziva finished pointing to a beat up, multi-colored Beetle parked outside in front of the neighbor's house.

"Okay I'll check it out, did you get a description of the two suspects". Gibbs asked glancing at the neighbor's house. "Yes for the suspect that hopped the fence she said that the person was dressed in all black and was wearing gloves and had a backpack strapped to their back and ran extremely fast but that was all she was able to describe of the intruder. For the other man at the neighbor's house he was a tall lean man who was dressed in a duster and had a glove on his left hand," Ziva finished.

"Good, hurry up and process this scene then come meet me at the neighbor's house there might be more evidence on the other side of the fence"

"On it boss!" Ziva said a walked over to the team to help them process the rest of the scene. Gibbs walked over to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door. One knock and the door swayed open a bit.

Gibbs became wary he could hear someone talking inside but couldn't hear what they were saying. Ziva noticed his wariness walked up to Gibbs He signed her to stay quiet and pointed her to go around into the back yard. Ziva nodded and quietly left.

Gibbs pushed the door open more so he could see inside. There was a man talking into a phone standing in the middle of the living room with his back turned to the front door. Next to him on the floor and all around him on the walls was blood, lots of it and two bodies laying on the floor, one of them was dressed in a navy uniform. Gibbs pulled out his gun and pointed it at the stranger

"NCIS! Put your hands you now!" The man seemed to jump then stiffen, "Put down the phone slowly," the stranger did as he was told and put the phone down on to the table hanging it up. "Turn around slowly" the man slowly turned keeping his hand high enough for Gibbs to see them. Gibbs pulled out a pair of cuffs and stepped forward towards the stranger

"You are under arrest for the murder of a military personnel and his family" The strange took a step back "Wait! hold on a second you don't understand I didn't kill them!" The stranger said backing away from Gibbs as he advanced with the cuffs. He saw the man glance down at the two bodies and shift his weight to run.

Gibbs stopped and raised his gun higher "Don't try it!" Gibbs warned, looking into the eyes of the strange, Gibbs felt a weird pull, before the stranger booked it. "Hey stop!" Gibbs yelled at the man and chased after. The stranger spotted the back door and ran out.

Ziva stepped out and smacked the man with a pipe in the face. He stumbled back and fell back and Ziva quickly threw cuffs on him, lifted him up and shoved him into the wall.

"Ziva are you okay! did you get him?" Gibbs said running out the door. "Ya I've got him, might have broken his nose though," she said holding him against the wall. Gibbs quickly patted him down, he found a Gun and a long metal rod on the man, plus a pair of car keys.

"Hurry and take him back to be interrogation Ziva. Tony!" Gibbs called "Yes, boss" Tony said running up to them. Gibbs tossed him the keys and pointed at the beat-up car in front of the house. "Go check that car see if there is anything important in it" Gibbs ordered.

"Right away boss!" and Tony ran off to open up the car for any evidence. Ziva escorted the man to the nearest squad car and walked back over to Gibbs. "That's the man that the lady had been describing earlier," Ziva said "What happened?" she asked as they walked back into the house.

"We better call Ducky." Gibbs said when they enter the living room. Ziva saw the two bodies laying on the ground and paled a bit "On it…" she said as she stepped out of the room. Gibbs stared at the two corps, it was a normal looking murder scene, the only off thing was both of the victims had only one eye the other had been yanked from their heads. Gibbs grimaced He had a lot of questions for this man.
