NCIS- chapter one- Introductions
Disclaimer- anything you recognise I do not own.
Mel has been living in my head for about a year I thought I'd write her story.
Please let me know what you think but no flames.
-beep. Beep. Beeeep. Thud- it was 5am and my alarm was blaring at me. I groaned, today is the day I start at NCIS. My old boss Fornell thought that because NCIS was short a profiler he'd put me up for transfer. Urgh. What to wear? I've seen a few NCIS agents around, it seemed that you could get away with anything so long as it didn't look unprofessional. I eventually decided on a nice shirt, black pants and black military style boots. Then I saw the coat that Abby bought for me about a month ago. It was a black trench coat, I put it on because the weather was pretty miserable.
It was now 5.30am. Damn 0530 I've got to remember that NCIS runs on 24 hour time. I wolfed down breakfast as fast as I could, then I jumped into my car, it was a '04 Toyota Sebring. It was 0655 when I finally arrived at the navy yard and got through security.
I finally found the bullpen floor at 0700, after passing though the building security. That's where I met up with Director Vance.
"Ah, Special Agent Wright. Glad you could come." He said without much warmth.
"Hello, Director Vance." I greeted him warmly.
"Did Agent Fornell tell you what you would be doing here?"
"Not really Director, just that a team needed a profiler and he thought I was up to the job." I wasn't sure what to expect.
"He was correct you'll be assigned to Special Agent Gibbs' team. Agent Fornell says you have a sort of six sense for identifying criminals."
"He was probably exaggerating. I don't think I'm much better than your average profiler." I replied, sure I'd helped catch a lot of criminals. But I don't think I'm better than any other profiler.
"Your desk is over there in the corner, Agent Gibbs and his team should be arriving soon." Director Vance instructed.
"Thank you, Director" I said nervously, I knew of agent Gibbs. Fornell had worked cases with him before. I sat down at the desk I was given and pulled out a pad and pencil. The pad was filled with drawings of wolves, it was about the only childish thing I still did. That was when I noticed the young woman who was walking over to the grouping of desks that I'm sitting at, she's listening to her iPod. That's when she spots me.
"What are you doing here?" the woman demands in accented American.
"I've been transferred to Special Agent Gibbs' team. I'm Special Agent Melissa Wright." I said extending my hand for a handshake.
"I'm Officer Ziva David" She replies shaking my hand
"Nice to meet you Ziva, who else is on this team?" I said curiously, I really should have asked Abby as to who she worked with before transferring in.
"Aside from Gibbs and myself there is Tony DiNozzo and Timothy McGee"
"Tim's on this team?" I was confused, I didn't think Abby was the type to date within her workplace.
"You know him?" she seemed surprised by that.
"Uh yeah, Abby and I know each other really well. She's told me a lot about her work and I know she used to date Tim. They just didn't tell me they constantly worked together, I thought he was stationed elsewhere."
"He used to be. But now he's here as a full time field agent." Ziva said as two more people exited the elevator, they were arguing. One was Tim, the other I assumed was Tony as Abby had mentioned they argue a lot.
"Ziva who are you talking to?" the one I assumed to be DiNozzo asked.
"This is Special Agent Melissa Wright, she's transferred here." Ziva explained
"Gibbs won't like that." Tony predicted
"Oh, Hi Mel. Have you spoken with Abby yet?" Tim asked, He knew Abby and I were really close. "Hey Tim, no I haven't spoken to her yet. Vance told me to stay here till I spoke with Gibbs." I replied. The elevator doors open again and I was even more nervous now, Abby had told me it takes a while for Gibbs to warm up to new transfers.
"Why are you all standing around?" Gibbs asked abruptly, walking over to us.
"We're just getting to know Special Agent Wright boss," Tony says eying me up and down. He then winces as Gibbs head slaps him.
"Sorry boss"
"You must be the agent Fornell recommended" Gibbs states.
"Yes Special Agent Gibbs, Agent Fornell gave me this letter to give to you." I hand over the letter Fornell wrote, Gibbs opens the letter and quickly scans it, and I have no idea what it says.
"You're a profiler?" he asks.
"Yes I am, that was the reason I was assigned to Agent Fornell." I replied trying to keep my nerves out of my voice.
"Have you got any crime scene experience?" enquires Gibbs.
"It's a requirement of profiling, we profile the scene, victim and suspects." I replied glad that I could talk about what I know.
"Good. Gear up everyone, we've got a dead marine on our hands, rock Creek Park. Tony gas the truck."
"On it boss." Tony walks past my desk and heads to the garage, Tim had gone back to his desk and was on the phone.
"Ducky's on his way." Tim informs Gibbs.
"Well? What are you waiting for? Gear up, you too Agent Wright." Gibbs orders and the rest of us grab our stuff and leave the office at 0735.
this is my First NCIS fanfic, so please let me know what you think, I've had to update and change the story slightly to coincide with what i learnt in season nine.
