The team made there way through the bushes. Gibbs was leading the way, charging ahead of his team, ducking and weaving his way through the branches easily, as the others struggled.

Tony smirked as an idea began to form in his head, he looked ahead of him, making sure Gibbs was out of sight. As he walked past a long branch he grabbed hold of it, and swinging himself under it he let it go flying backwards, right into McGee, who let out a startled yelp. Ziva shook her head as Tony doubled over in laughter at the sight of McGee spitting out leaves. All three jumped though when Gibbs's voice floated back through the bushes,

'Do that again Dinozzo and I'll shove that branch down your throat'

Tony looked at his bewildered team mates, 'How the hell did he see that?'

Ziva looked just as confused, 'I honestly have no idea', she looked over at McGee who was still coughing, he just shook his head and gave a shrug.

Gibbs's voice yelled back again, 'Hey! We have a case now get your sorry asses up here and stop your debating'

McGee spluttered out, 'He heard that? How? He's like half a mile ahead of us'

Shaking his head Tony looked slightly scared, 'Do you think Gibbs has super powers?'

Ziva snorted 'No I don't, our voices are just carrying on the wind'

'Would you lot move it!!' All three jumped in alarm and moved as quickly as possible through the thicket.


Gibbs made his way into the clearing and swallowed heavily at the sight before him. Limbs lay scattered across the ground, a torso was pulled in half, and a head was face down in a pile of leaves. He knew instantly what this was, this was what should have happened to him last night, this should have been his fate. Hearing his team drawing closer, he looked up into their horrified faces. Tony gulped,

'What sort of animal did that?'

No one answered, they all just stared. Ducky and Palmer joined the group, 'Oh my!', Ducky gasped

'Yeah Duck, we know', Gibbs said grimly as he took in his friends shocked expression, 'Dinozzo, take photo's, Ziva close off the area and McGee sketch the scene. Ducky think you can get us a time of death?'

'If I can find a liver then I should be able to. I take it we need to find out what type of animal caused this?'

'That would be the idea', Gibbs watched as his team swung into action, he wondered if this has happened before or after his 'death'. He wondered how she had lured this one to his doom, and he worried about what the Autopsy results would show.


Back at headquarters' Gibbs was trying to find out the identification of their dead Petty Officer, not that he was having much luck. The poor man's fingertips had been gnawed off, so dental identification was going to be the only hope they had of finding out who he was. Ducky had given him a time of death of about 11pm, 2 hours after he had been attacked. Gibbs shook his head sadly, he wondered how many more lives this monster would claim, this attack, including his, was the third in so many weeks.

Gibbs looked up as he heard the door to MTAC open and Jenny stepped out. Sitting back he took in her appearance, her hair was down in loose curls today and seemed to stand even more against the pure white of her top. His eyes flickered appreciatively over her curves, before running down her legs. The skirt she was wearing today could hardly be called risqué, as it came down to her knees, but it had a split up the side that gave him a flash of her long leg every time she moved. He watched as she headed down the stairs, while simultaneously reading over some files, his stomach jumped in what felt like excitement as he realised that she was heading in his direction. She looked up from her paperwork and gave him a small smile, 'Agent Gibbs, I need to talk to you about your present case. Walk with me down to Autopsy?'

His mouth dry Gibbs nodded and got up from his seat, grinning Jenny reached across him, her arm brushing past his chest, making it tighten with want, as she grabbed his coffee and smirking took a sip,

'Oh good', she shot him a smirk, 'It's still warm', she sashayed away from his desk, Gibbs watched the way her hips swayed enticingly. She suddenly seemed to realise that he wasn't following her and turned around to give him a curious look, 'Are you not coming with?'

Trying to regain some control over his mouth he coughed and mumbled, 'Yeah of course' and strolled up to the elevator, they stood in silence for a minute until the doors opened and they both stepped in.

Jenny turned to face him, 'Do we know the name of the victim yet?'

Gibbs hit the emergency stop button, 'No, not yet'

She shook her head, 'Poor guy, I heard he was in bits, do you think Ducky knows the type of animal yet?'

Trying to focus on what she was saying, Gibbs forced out an answer, 'Dunno, we can ask him when we get there'

Jenny continued to talk, but he had stopped listening. Instead he looked at her eyes, he had always loved that shade of green, loved the way they seemed to glitter when she was pissed off about something, or the way they used to darken, just before she came apart for him. His eyes flickered to her mouth, she occasionally wore lipstick, although she didn't need too. He took in her full bottom lip and wondered how she'd react if he kissed her and pulled it into his mouth, he felt himself tighten slightly as he remembered the way she would moan whenever he did that, the way her fingers would curl into his hair, pulling him closer.

Jenny was oblivious to Gibbs's thoughts, she knew he was staring at her, but she just assumed he was listening to her for a change, so she continued to talk, 'This is the third attack in three weeks. The first was across town, a Mr. David Jones, that attack was identical to this one. The second also took place last night, although it's a bit strange. A man was found in Garfield park around 9pm last night by a group of teenagers. They reckoned that they scared off the animal, because this guy was in one piece, well apart from the gaping hole in his throat. But, and this really is unbelievable, the body's vanished, disappeared from the morgue in the early hours, with all the paperwork and all the items the body was brought in with. The coroner and EMT's have both confirmed that there was a body brought in, but no one knows where it is, plus they didn't have a chance to make an I.D. There's another weird thing about these attacks, the first victim had no blood what so ever in any part of his body, not a even a splatter on any of limbs, and there was no blood at the scene', Jenny shook her head as she leaned past Gibbs to start the elevator up again, unknowingly jolting him back to reality, 'It's definitely a strange case'

With no clue to what she had been talking about Gibbs forced himself to nod, 'Yeah you can say that again'

The doors swooshed open, and the pair stepped out into Autopsy. Jenny walked in front, while Gibbs checked her out from behind, he mentally shook himself, he needed to stop this, he was acting like a horny teenager.


Gibbs looked up to see his team and Ducky standing talking to an unfamiliar man. Gibbs couldn't tell too much about him, because his back was towards him. Ducky noticed the two newcomers, 'Ah Jethro, Director, this is Dr Peter Walter's, he did the first Autopsy, and was there when the now missing body was brought in. He's here to go over the previous victims'

The man turned around and went pale at the sight of Gibbs, 'You, You're him. The man they brought in last night'

The other occupants of the room looked on in confusion, Tony raised his eyebrow, 'You think Gibbs is the second victim?'

'He is', The man was adamant, although Gibbs could sense the confusion coming off him in waves, 'But his throat, his throat had been ripped out'

Everyone looked at him, Jenny remarked, 'Well he looks fine now, and I don't know about everyone else, but I sure as hell hope there's not two of him'

Tony laughed nervously, 'Either that or he can come back from the dead, you did look pale this morning boss'

Dr Walters shook his head, 'I suppose it can't be, but I swear to God, they could be twins, the man shakily sat down, still staring at Gibbs, as was everyone else. Jenny cleared her throat.

'Agent Gibbs can I have a word in my office? Ducky can you attend to Dr Walters? As for the rest of you, make yourself useful and get an I.D. on our third victim'


The team stood in Abby's lab, telling her about the events that had occurred down in Autopsy. She tilted her head to one side, 'Do you think it was Gibbs? I've always said he has magic powers'

McGee looked nervous, 'The thought of Gibbs being able to come back to life is terrifying. Abby, I know you're into that sort of thing, but you can't seriously be suggesting that Gibbs is one of the undead'

'Well he really didn't look well this morning', Tony remarked looking thoughtful.

Ziva laughed, 'Tony there is a big difference between Gibbs looking queasy this morning and someone rising from the dead. Which isn't even possible!'

Ignoring Ziva, Tony continued, 'Remember what that hot chick who was in early said, about doing something for him last night, maybe she broke him out'

Ziva groaned and shook her head, 'I don't believe we are even having this conversation'

'Yeah, you're right', Tony shook his head, 'Gibbs is scary enough as it is, I don't think we should dwell on whether or not he's able to resurrect himself.


Gibbs followed Jenny into her office, closing the door behind him. She turned to face him, smirking, 'So, did you take a nap on Dr Walter's Autopsy table last night?'

Not wanting to blatantly lie, he raised an eyebrow and answered 'What do you think Jen?'

Unable to help herself, she moved forward and placed her hand on his throat, her finger tracing over it, 'Well you appear to be in one piece'

It was strange Gibbs thought, with everyone else he could read how they were feeling, but with Jenny he didn't have a clue. He looked into her mesmerizing green eyes, trying to keep control of himself as she ran her hand over his throat and he knew he was failing miserably. He grabbed her wrist and looked at the surprise in her eyes, he lowered a kiss to her pulse point, feeling her shiver with lust and giving up his battle for self control pulled her to him, his lips crashing down onto hers.

Jenny didn't even try to push him away, at first it was the shock, but then as he pulled her bottom lip into his mouth, gently nipping at it, she was lost, she didn't want him to let her go. One hand curled into his neck, while the other ran up into his hair, her fingers tangling through it, trying to pull him closer. He kissed her harder, his tongue slipping into her mouth, exploring every crevice, causing her to moan into his mouth.

Eventually the need for air overcame them both and they pulled apart, but only for a second before Gibbs lowered his mouth to place small kisses to the underside of her jaw, before trailing his mouth down her throat. Jenny let her head fall back to give him more access. He got to her pulse point and nipped at it gently, groaning she pulled his head closer. Gibbs felt dizzy with need, he was desperate to bite down on her throat and she wasn't making it any easier. The quiet noises that were escaping her and the way she was pushing herself even closer to him made it near impossible to resist. He could feel his teeth sliding out; he was just about to bit down when there was a knock at the door. Brought back to their senses the pair pulled apart, Gibbs was on the other side of the room before Jenny could so much as blink. She quickly smoothed down her hair and clothing and called out, 'Come in', she was slightly surprised by the breathless quality to her voice. As the door opened and Cynthia stepped in, Gibbs slipped out. Jenny smiled politely at her assistant, who looked slightly surprised by Gibbs abrupt exit, Jenny moved to the chair behind her desk, trying to block out the memories of a few moments ago, and mentally telling herself to stop acting like a cat on heat, she pulled herself together and asked 'So what can I do for you Cynthia?'


Gibbs silently berated himself all the way down to the bull pen. What the hell was he thinking, he'd been about to bit Jen, how on earth would he have explained that one to her! He didn't think she'd find it too amusing, he was so confused, he hadn't felt the desire to bite anyone else, so why Jen? He decided to try and not think about that too much, he had to get prepared for this dinner tonight. God only knew how that would go.


The next chapter will be the dinner party.

And the deal still stands, keep reviewing and I'll keep updating :)
