Joint Investigations

Chapter 2: Learning to Share

As of the next morning the team was able to assume two things about A1C Randall's death. One was that he had been shot four times and two that the killer had left no obvious signs of himself.

This did not make Special Agent Gibbs happy. But what made him even less happy was a phone call he got from Security Forces at Bolling Air Force Base requesting that he let one of their officers in on the investigation. After some input from the director there was no way he could say no. So now he watched from the second floor and waited for the officer to arrive.

"Excuse me, I'm 1st Lieutenant Kelly I was told this is where I could find Special Agent Gibbs." Stated a blonde woman in Air Force blues.

"Yeah he's-" McGee started t answer but stopped as he looked up at the woman. "Natasha?!"

"Tim? You're an NCIS agent?" she asked in equal shock.

"I know I wouldn't have believed it either." Added Tony as he entered the bullpen. "Hi I'm Agent Anthony DiNozzo but you can call me Tony, Miss?" he asked offering his hand.

"Lieutenant Natasha Kelly." She answered, shaking his hand.

"A pretty name for a pretty girl." He replied with a charming smile.

"Are you being paid to flirt DiNozzo?" asked Gibbs from behind him.

"Unfortunately no."

"Then get to work." He said before rounding his attention on the woman. "What exactly are you here for Lieutenant?"

"Since your victim was an Airman the Air Force would like to be included in the investigation as much as possible, but respects that the crime occurred under NCIS jurisdiction." she explained professionally "Therefore we are requesting a joint investigation."

"How many Air Force personnel are we talking?"

"Just one unless you request more." She answered without missing a beat.

"Then a joint investigation it is." Gibbs said "Let's head downstairs and get the ME's report."

"I've got it right here." Ziva called as she rounded the corner.

She laid the file open on a desk and the four agents and the lieutenant gathered around to read it.

"It just confirms our assumptions." McGee said, leaning back in his chair.

"Cause of death was four 9mm shots to the chest." Read Officer David.

"Who ever did this was a good shot." Tony pointed out. "All four shots are clumped together in the center of the chest."

"We're dealing with some one with proper training." Gibbs said. "I'm going to go see if Abby has anything for us. Let's go Lieutenant."

Natasha nodded and followed him.

As soon as the elevator doors closed Tony perched himself on the edge of Tim's desk.

"So is that the girl you were texting yesterday?"

"No."

"He's lying." Injected Ziva. "He looked down and to the left."

Tony smirked. "I want answers Probie."

The younger man sighed. "Yes ok?"

"How long have you known her and how does a techie like you meet a girl like that?" he demanded.

"Two weeks ago. I was at the mall in Georgetown and there was a DDR competition going on. I stopped for a minute to watch and we started talking." He explained.

"DDR?" Tony laughed "Does she play?"

"I don't know. We've just had coffee a couple of times; I didn't even know she was in the Air Force."

At this point Tony paused to explain to Ziva that this DDR had nothing to do with Germany and McGee made his escape to the elevator.

Yeah I know Dance Dance Revolution in an NCIS fic very random but I thought it would add a bit of humor. As for the Germany thing you'll have to look it up because I'm too lazy to explain it now, but I promise I didn't make it up.
