Chapter 4

The NCIS team pulled up to the crime scene to find two people, and an FBI team waiting for them. One had to have been FBI with the usually attire but with a bright read belt and what looked like multi-colored socks. McGee smiled, he admired the guy for customizing the FBI.

The other person was a character. McGee thought she looked attractive in a weird sort of way. Her hair was pulled back away from her face and she waited impatiently as they pulled up, she was obviously not happy with them coming to take control of the case.

Gibbs threw open the car door and took no time getting down to business.

"I'm agent Gibbs and this is my team," he said already walking toward the body, "this crime scene is now under NCIS control."

The woman looked like she was about to say something when the FBI agent laid a gentle hand on her shoulder,

"Agent Booth, FBI," said the man trying to sound friendly but his irritation still came through, "and this is Dr. Temperance Brennan." Gibbs gave no accomplishment of the introduction but Tony moved closer toward Dr. Brennan.

"Here we go," thought McGee.

"Hey," said Tony in his normal ladies man voice, and given her his famous Dinozzo smile, "I'm special agent Anthony Dinozzo." To the amusement of McGee and probably Ziva and Booth, Dr. Brennan completely ignored the flirtatious introduction

"You can't just come in and take my remains," Brennan protested.

"Actually we can," replied Gibbs sternly, "Duck, it's all yours."

"Yes, Jethro," said Dr. Mallard (Ducky), the NCIS team's do-everything-doc. Ducky moved over to the body only to find Dr. Brennan blocking the way. He looked up at her not at all annoyed but then his face brightened even more.

"You're Dr. Brennan author of "Bread in the Bone", are you not? I found the book's science not only accurate but very precise. Plus the interpersonally relationship between the main character's is simply outstanding my dear, it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you!" Dr. Brennan smiled at this and after shacking hands moved aside to have Ducky look at the remains, however she knelt with him.

McGee didn't know how he did it. No matter how different or mad someone was, Duck always found a way to make friends with them. It must be the accent.

"Alright, now that we're done with that can my team take over the crime scene and get to work?" Gibbs wasn't asking, it was a demand. Any other person would of left, but to the amazement of McGee Agent Booth stood up to Gibbs.

"Agent Gibbs," Booth said, "We're both on the same side here. We both want to put the person who did this behind bars, so why don't we work together?" Booth had an elegant tongue, thought McGee but he had never met someone who could pretty talk their way around Gibbs.

"If you really want this man caught you should step aside and let my guys do what they do best." Gibbs retorted. Booth moved a little closer.

"You know what, you see what that body is... bones. Do you know what my partner specializes in... bones."

"The correct name is Forensic Anthropologist," chimed in Bones who up to now was busy working with Ducky who now added his two cents worth.

"Jethro, Agent Booth is right, Dr. Brennan is the best in the country, if not the world at studying human remains." Ducky and Brennan shared a smile. Booth smirked and turned to Gibbs. McGee knew that Gibbs was now fighting an up hill battle.

"I have all rights over this crime scene, and this case." Gibbs stated.

"So you have a choice," Booth said getting into his full interrogation mindset, "you either work alone and a murder walks, or we work together and solve this case." Gibbs eyes narrowed, McGee knew that he didn't like being in the position he was in. He knew that he would be better off working with Brennan and Booth, but it was a matter of principle, however Gibbs nature to do what was best for his country prevailed.

"We work together, but I still am the head of this team, we do what I say and if you don't like it you can hit the street, you understand?" Before Booth could answer Brennan once again entered the conversation.

"Why would we hit the street, we both have homes, I'm very wealthy in fact and Booth makes okay money as an FBI agent." McGee couldn't help but smile.

"Is she serious?" Tony said to Ziva.

"I think so," replied Ziva somewhat dumbstruck

"Well then," said Booth changing the subject, "let's get down to business."
