Tony ran into the bullpen again, breathless. McGee and Ellie looked at him, trying to figure out if her was having a heart attack or something.

"Mc-Mc-McSneaky...I f-found something," Tony panted, trying to hide the evil smirk. "Woah..hey...what's up," Ellie asked, crossing her arms and raising her eyebrow.

Tony grabbed an envelope out of his pants' pocket, then showed it to McGee. "I was walking pass your house today and the mailman recognized me. He knew I was your co-worker, so he gave me this- to give to you!" Tony said dramatically, taking out the photo that was in the envelope. It was an old picture of a younger McGee and his friend from MIT, Stewart. The younger McGee was probably in a food fight, considering that there was a piece of egg in his hair, mustard on his face, and food all over his clothing.

"You've never told me you've been involved in food fights," Tony laughed, still clutching onto the hilarious picture. "I can imagine and see it now. Agent Timothy McGee: The Food Fighter!"

"Uhhh..no, I was in a food fight, but the others were throwing it at me- I didn't fight back. Most kids ended up going home early due to the ruined cafeteria and clothing, but we had to stay and clean up." McGee smiled, showing that he was not embarrassed. Ellie shrugged and grabbed the photo from Tony.

"Ha...nice one!" she giggled, taking her phone out of her drawer and snapping a picture of it. A reddish color filled McGee's cheeks. "Okay, enough, give it back," he demanded, snatching it back. Tony and Ellie looked like psychos, laughing like crazy until they couldn't breath anymore.

The elevator opened and a famous, well-known Gibbs walked through. Nobody noticed him, obviously. Tony and Ellie jumped when they saw Gibbs walking past them but continued laughing like manics. His phone on his desk rang as Gibbs reached it. He picked it up and listened.

"Special Agent Gibbs...hello?" he said, waiting for a reply. After a quick and short conversation, Gibbs yelled," Grabbed your gear. Dead Colonel on the road of Evergreen lane."

Tony and Bishop stopped laughing, and everyone ran to their desks. They grabbed their bags and made their way towards the elevator.

"Hey McGee," Gibbs said, drinking his coffee. "Nice picture."

McGee face-palmed himself and swore he was going to find that mailman and kill him.

Gibbs' team arrived to the crime scene before Ducky's truck arrived. Tony was the first one out of the car and he was already holding the camera.

*Snap* *Click* *Snap*

They took pictures of the dead Colonel that was currently very bloody. Ellie went around the secured perimeter, looking for evidence. McGee checked her neck for her dogs tags. 'None..dammit,' McGee thought.

McGee put his camera down to grab the fingerprint scanner from his bag. He took the Colonel's finger and placed it on the scanner. McGee got the results in about 5 seconds.

"Gibbs...I-I know who she is," McGee said, not taking his eyes off the screen. "Who is she then?" Gibbs asked, walking up to him. Ellie and Tony joined them.

"Her name is Colonel Savannah Catherine Kosmo. She's in the Marine Corps...uh...wait, she was on leave for the next 2 weeks." McGee pointed out. They all stared at the corpse, wondering how a decorated marine ended up dead.

Ducky and Jimmy finally arrived in 10 minutes. "Woah...!" Jimmy exclaimed and bounced back as he saw the dead body. Ducky rushed over to the body and swatted next to it.

"TOD Duck?" Gibbs asked, swatting next to Ducky.

"Uh..Jethro, time of death is between 2:00 A.M. to 4:00 A.M," Ducky replied after finding the Colonel's time of death. He stared at his watch. "Which would mean she was killed about 3 hours ago before Metro police called us." Ducky said.

"Thanks Duck." Gibbs nodded, getting up. He walked over to the tree where there was one of the polices. "Special Agent Gibbs," Gibbs introduced, flashing his badge and ID. "I need to ask you a few questions."

"Umm...okay. What do you need, Special Agent Gibbs," the officer asked. "Oh, and Officer Kenneth McKay by the way."

"Okay then Kenneth, when did you find the body," Gibbs asked, doing his Gibbs-stare at him.

"Uh..at 0500. A family was driving back to their house from a vacation when they accidently drove over the body. Called 9-1-1 and now here we're trying to figure it out," Kenneth sighed, scratching his head. "We saw her dog tags, so we called NCIS."

"Wait, we didn't see any dog tags on her." Gibbs told the officer. "That's weird, did someone take it?" Kenneth asked, cringing at the thought of somebody interfering with a NCIS murder case.

"Probably," Gibbs mumbled, running back to his team.

"Boss, what happened?" McGee frowned, seeing that his boss didn't look happy. "McGee, did you see any dog tags in the area." Gibbs asked. McGee shook his head 'no' and Gibbs look at Tony and Ellie. They did the same.

"Why, what's wrong," Ellie asked him.

"Officer Kenneth McKay said that they were called by a family that found the dead Colonel at 5:00 in the morning and that they called us when the found the dog tags." Gibbs explained.

"Guys..um..sorry, I overheard you while I was carrying the body to the truck but..Ducky said that the..uh..Colonel died 3 hours before we were notified, so..since the police called us one hour after she was killed, don't you wonder what they were doing in the last two hours?" Jimmy asked, smiling that he might have had helped them.

"Ooohhh, good job autopsy gremlin," Tony clapped, grinning at him. "Thanks Tony," Jimmy said.

"Either Metro police is keeping something away from us or Officer Kenneth McKay is lying," Ellie stated, pointing at Officer Kenneth.

"Uh-oh...Gibbs, you need to see this." McGee said, shocked.
