A/N: Okay, so new fic, case fic, but it should be amusing along the way, came to me while I was brushing my teeth last night, this is not written to flame dentists or anyone who does anything with teeth, they're amazing people and my orthodontist has done a fabulous job with my braces (:

"Oooh, McGeek's email is still open" happily squealed Tony as he ran over to McGee's desk and begun fiddling with his computer.
"Tony if you had told him to go buy us lunch when he was going to the bathroom he would not have had time to do his pants up, let alone lock his computer"
"Provided he actually wears pants" Tony was sickened by the thought of McGee coming to work with no pants on.
"Now that is just plain disgusting, move over I want to see what McGee receives" said Ziva as she forcefully pushed him over to make room for herself.
"Hmmm….eBay alert, eBay alert, Facebook… ?"
"DiNozzo what the hell are you doing in my emails?" jumped three feet in the air thanks to being startled by McGee.
"What? How did you? How the hell did you sneak up behind me without me noticing? I mean come on, senior field agent here"
"Maybe you would have noticed if you were not so busy thinking about your last visit to " teased Ziva.
"It's expected of me!"
"True, but not so much of little McGee"
"Yeah McGee why did you go on ?" taunted Tony.
"You…I…..uh… you gave me the link, you said it was something good"
"Okay, for one, I don't go on at work, and two, why would I tell you to go on something good?" Tony managed to squeeze out between laughs.
Gibbs chose that moment to walk into the bullpen and headslap Tony before McGee could answer.
"Ouch" Tony cringed "what was that for Boss?"
"Discussing things way to grown up for McGee on my time" replied Gibbs as he sat down at his desk to get his weapons.
"Gear up, dead marine on base at Quantico, Ziva, you're driving"
"Good thing I didn't decide to have that milkshake after all" grimaced Tony.

"Why doesn't he have any teeth?" Tony questioned Ducky as he photographed the crime scene.
"Well, my young Anthony, it appears that after his demise someone pulled his teeth, and this was done by no means an amateur, whoever did this has a degree in dentistry"
"Well isn't that a great way to start the morning, we're looking for a crazy dentist who likes to pull the teeth out of dead people"
"Not just a crazy dentist who likes to pull teeth out of dead people, a germ-phobic one I believe" said Ziva as she jogged over with an evidence bag with scrubs and other bacteria protection equipment.
Tony examined the contents of the bag."You don't need all of that just to remove teeth, that looks like something Ducky wears when he's doing an autopsy, doesn't it Duck?"
"Yes it does, definitely a germ-phobe you're looking for" replied Ducky as he looked up from the victim and back down again.
"What do you got Duck?" enquired Gibbs as he approached the three, coffee cup in hand.
"Male, twenty five to thirty years old, one bullet through the head, he died approximately 7 hours ago, placing time of death around 0200 this morning, oh and this" Ducky passed a wallet found on the victim to Ziva.
"Sergeant Thomas Gunn, born November 22nd 1981" stated Ziva passing the wallet to Gibbs.
"ID matches the dog tags" replied Ducky.
"Also, how coincidental that he was killed JFK style and he was born on the same day, not the same year that he was assassinated?"
"Yes Tony, but our Sergeant was not an American president" stated Ducky.
"Good point, still a coincedence"
"Maybe not, could be a copycat"
"JFK didn't have his teeth removed by germ-phobic dentists"
"Well nah DiNozzo, I said could be, not was a copycat!"

Back at NCIS headquarters:"It just does not make sense!"
"What doesn't make sense, David?" questioned Tony pinching the bridge of his nose, remembering his last trip to the dentist.
"Why pull someone's teeth AFTER they're dead? I can understand pulling them while they're alive, but surely not dead, I know one thing for sure, they did not pull his teeth to hide his identity because they did not take his ID or remove his finger pads"
"Quite true, Gibbs wants us to narrow down the list of suspects" sighed Tony.
"Okay, firstly we can eliminate the dentists on base, they all have airtight alibis and multiple witnesses to vouch for their whereabouts" said Ziva.
Ppicking up Sergeant Gunn's medical file and handing it to the medical history for anyone who had experience in dentistry, nothing, then his dental history, all of his dental appointments were filled by the dentists on base apart from one.
"Ziva!"
