A/N: Thank you all for the reviews! :D I love every single review! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Lisa's First Case (Part One)
Lisa stood in front of her mirror and smoothed out her shirt. She gave her hair a little fluff and sighed. She turned around and grabbed her keys from her bed. She was feeling a little anxious over her first day despite meeting her coworkers yesterday.
She made headway for the door and pulled it open. She grabbed her bag off the hook near the door and went through, locking the door behind her. It didn't take her long to go down the stairs and to her parked car.
McGee stopped in front of Tony's desk. "Tony, you're here early."
"No, I'm not. I'm on time, Probie. Unlike you," Tony said looking up at him.
McGee's brow furrowed. "Touché."
"Where are Ziva and Lisa?" Gibbs asked passing them both.
McGee and Tony turned watching him go to his desk. "Don't know, boss," Tony reported sending a side glance to McGee. Ziva and Lisa walked off the elevator laughing to each other.
McGee smiled. "There they are." He walked on to his desk. The women sauntered into the bullpen and to their consecutive desks.
"Good morning," Lisa said nodding to McGee and Gibbs. Gibbs nodded back to her. His desk phone rang.
Lisa sat down and glanced back at the team. They looked like they were ready to leave. She furrowed her brow when Gibbs hung up and stood. "Dead Marine, grab your gear," he ordered walking out of the bull pen.
Lisa raised an eyebrow and grabbed her gear bag as she stood. Because she wasn't sure of what to do she merely followed everyone else to the elevator.
At the scene Lisa was given a camera and instructed to take pictures of everything. She tied her hair back and put the NCIS cap on.
The corpse, Private Ronald Davies, looked, in Lisa's eyes, like he had just fallen asleep. She knelt in front of the corpse and took a snapshot of his face.
"How do you think he died?" she asked taking another picture.
McGee took a picture and shrugged. "I don't know. Ducky will know when he gets here."
"If he gets here," Tony commented scribbling down on his notepad.
Lisa frowned. "If?"
McGee chuckled and stood upright. "Palmer has a knack for getting lost."
Lisa slowly nodded and stood as well. "Then why doesn't Ducky drive?"
"Because he never gives me the chance, Miss Smith," Ducky said coming up behind her. He set his bag down and knelt beside the body, giving him a once-over.
"I am sorry about that, Doctor Mallard," a young man said pushing a gurney past Lisa. Lisa watched them for a moment and then returned to the van.
"Bag and tag, guys," Gibbs said walking over to Ducky.
"Yes, boss," Tony and McGee said.
Lisa stuck her camera back inside her bag and took out the evidence bags.
"Lisa, how goes your studying to become a full agent?" McGee asked putting his camera away.
She shrugged. "It's coming along quite nicely. How long did it take you?"
"Oh a year or so," McGee said. "It was worth it though."
"I'm sure it is," Lisa said walking back to the crime scene. She went to the tagged evidence and collected them, putting them into their respective bags and labeling them. Tony came up behind her collecting the numbers while she did so.
"I estimate time of death to be around five this morning, Jethro," Ducky stated looking up at Gibbs.
Gibbs noted it and looked back to him. "How'd he die, Duck?"
Ducky sighed. "It would seem that he was poisoned. I won't know more until we get him back to autopsy." Gibbs nodded. "Mister Palmer, help me load him onto the gurney."
"Uh, yes, sir," Palmer replied moving to the front of the body.
Lisa picked up the last piece of evidence and slipped it into the bag. "So, how long have you been a special agent, DiNozzo?"
Tony bent over to grab the last number tag. "Six-seven years or so."
"Wow, that's a long time," Lisa said giving him a slight smile. "You must really like working under Gibbs to not take any promotions."
A light smile played on his lips. "Yeah, there's nothing quite like it." Lisa smiled fully at him and went around him back towards the van.
Tony sighed and counted the number tags in his hand, making sure he had them all. He didn't know how to act around her. Gosh, he could hardly look at her much less make conversation. Sometimes his thoughts were consumed with the last time he spoke with Kate, and if he could have done anything different to save her.
"DiNozzo, time to head out!" Gibbs called.
Tony turned. "Coming, boss!"
"What'cha got?" Gibbs asked walking into the bullpen. Lisa got up from her desk and joined the others in front of the plasma, a file in her hands.
"Our Private had a wife, Cassandra Davies, no kids. According to their bank statement they've been having marital counseling when he was on leave," Tony said showing the bank records on screen.
Ziva took the mouse from him and clicked it. The screen changed to a picture of Private Davies' naval record. "Hardly a blemish on his record, however there was an incident that caught my eye. It says here that he had a physical fight with his CO and then later reported him for extortion."
Gibbs nodded. "Anything else?"
Lisa slightly raised her hand and stepped forward. "Before joining the corps he had several misdemeanors involving Private Jack O'Donnell. All cases were dismissed before they could be heard by a judge."
Gibbs nodded again. "Good work, Smith." Lisa grinned and returned to her desk.
Lisa walked into the break room and started a pot of coffee. She yawned and turned around. Tony DiNozzo was sitting at the table farthest from her. She chewed on her bottom lip for a moment and then strode over to him.
"Hey, you want some coffee?" she asked.
Tony looked up at her. He looked over her face and then averted his eyes to the floor. "Sure."
Lisa slowly nodded, watching him for a moment. She went back to the coffee pot and poured two cups. "How do you like yours?"
"Cream and three sugars," he replied.
Lisa jumped. She hadn't heard him follow her to the counter. "Alright." She cleared her throat and started adding the cream to her own. She finished making up her own and then his. "Here you go," she said passing him his coffee.
He took it and muttered a "Thanks" on his way back to the table. Lisa watched him go as she stirred her coffee. She let out a small sigh and followed after him. If she was going to be friends with him she had to at least put in an effort.
"So, who do you think murdered this guy?" she asked sitting across from him.
Tony looked up at her and blinked. "The wife, it's always the wife."
Lisa laughed. "Just like in the movies? I doubt it. I think it's far more likely O'Donnell who did it." She sipped her coffee.
Tony blinked again. "You…like movies?"
Lisa shrugged. "Well, yeah. Doesn't everyone?"
Tony chuckled. "No not everyone, at least here."
"Meaning Gibbs and Ducky?" Lisa asked smiling.
Tony smiled and sipped his coffee. "And Ziva, although she's getting better."
Lisa laughed. "What's your favorite Sean Connery movie? Mine's The Hunt for the Red October."
Tony grinned and leaned against the back of his chair. "Oh, that's a classic but my favorite is Diamonds are Forever."
"That was a good one," Lisa said sipping her coffee again. She brought her free hand over the table and offered it to Tony. "Friends?"
He smiled and shook it. "Friends."
