A murder with a twist: Chapter One
Summary: Ali and Lauren were the best of friends. One day on the way back from practice, something happens that shakes up their lives….And the lives of our favorite NCIS team too. TIVA. Maybe McAbby or Jibbs later. Maybe. Set before season 11 (So before our Zivah left :3)
Ali sighed, lugging her saxophone behind her. "Wait up!" She called to her friend Lauren, who was only carrying her flute. They were walking home from band practice since they only lived a few streets away. They were barely out of the high school parking lot and Ali was already behind. Lauren chuckled and waited. Ali laughed as she jogged to catch up with her. Lauren was her absolute best friend ever. They both lived in the same house with their moms, since both of their fathers were over seas in the war. Lauren was a sophomore and Ali was a freshman, but that didn't stop them from joining every possible activity together. From band to swimming to track and every club in between-including the special forces training club- they were always together. Little did they know their world was about to be shaken up and turned upside-down.
"So, what do you think of the new music? It's pretty easy but there's that one part where-" Lauren started but was cut off as Ali screamed and shoved her to the ground as they were walking down the alley across from the school. She frantically looked up, wondering what happened. Lauren's eyes widened in horror as she saw what was going on. A masked man was holding a guy dressed in a marine's uniform against a wall. Ali cringed as the man shot the gun and the marine fell to the ground, dead. The man stormed over to them still holding the gun. Lauren screamed as he grabbed Ali by the front of her shirt and pinned her against the wall.
"You didn't see nothin'! You tell anyone Imma kill you! Got it?" the man shouted it her. Ali nodded, tears streaming down her face.
"Let her go!" Lauren cried, eyes wide with fear.
The man turned and pointed the gun at Lauren. "Same goes for you! You tell anyone about this, I'll kill both of ya!" Shooting one last warning glare at them, he jumped in his getaway car- A black SUV driven by another masked man- and drove away.
Lauren was shaking with fear and sobbing as she looked over at Ali who was frozen with fear. "Wh-what do we do? " Ali was unresponsive for a moment before a look of relief flashed in her eyes for a brief moment.
"NCIS!" she exclaimed.
"The Navy investigators? But he'll kill us!" Lauren replied.
"He won't hurt us. Remember my aunt? She gave me this number and said to call it if I was ever in danger. She said they'd keep us safe." Ali said, pulling out her phone.
"If you're sure….but do it quick…" Lauren sniffed, looking at the body.
Ali called, praying someone would answer. She sighed in relief as a voice picked up.
"Gibbs."
*Foof*
