NCIS

"What's this about…oh that's so not good." McGee said sprinting into the bedroom.

The bedroom was torn apart and the words "You will all pay for what NCIS did," was written above pictures of the team.

"You think McObvious. Did the words of blood give you that clue?" remarked Tony sarcastically. "Did you call Gibbs?"

McGee was too focused on the picture of Abby to hear Tony's question. Tony takes out his own cell to call Gibbs.

"Gibbs we have a situation here…no we haven't located a print yet…this seems to involve the whole team…see you in 10." Tony finishes his call and takes out his fingerprint kit. "Probie Gibbs is going to be here in 10 minutes it would be great if we had a fingerprint to give him. He is not in the best of moods. HEY!"

At the tone of Tony's voice McGee snaps to attention and also gets his fingerprint kit out. They spend the next 10 minutes dusting every flat surface, when Tony finds not only one complete fingerprint but two. He stands up and does a happy dance.

"Ha. I found them Probie. No luck for you huh?!" Tony continues his dance until he hears Gibbs behind him.

"What is this DiNozzo are you happy that this sum bag has gotten away and is after us?" Gibbs asks after reading the message.

"Um…no…I found some prints."

"Well don't get excited yet it could be from the cops that were here today. Why don't you give that to McGee and he can run it to Abby. If it is 'Sam's let's hope that this scumbag is in the system."

Tony gathers up his treasures and hands them to Tim. "What about me boss?" Tony asks hesitantly hoping his impromptu dance hadn't got him into trouble.

"We need to inform everybody that they could be targeted." Gibbs said with a false calm. He had already lost more than one team member in his career, and no matter how many times it happened it was hard. "You didn't find anything else in the apartment? Where did the blood come from? I wonder what he means by what NCIS did to him?"

"We searched all the rooms but only came up with the fingerprints. No evidence of blood anywhere but the wall. Took a swab of the blood, Abby should be able to get us some more info. He seems to have a deep grudge for NCIS, I wonder if he was arrested or investigated by NCIS." Were Tony's responses to Gibbs questions even though he knew that the last question was Gibbs just thinking out loud.

They do a double check of the rooms again before exiting the building. The only new clue they found was the point of entry, the fire escape.

McGee went straight to Abby's lab and gave over the evidence. "We found some fingerprints and here's a swab of blood to run."

"Blood? Was there a dead body?" Abby was already dealing with chain of evidence and pulling on gloves while asking her questions.

"There…there was words written in blood on the wall." When McGee thought of the message he remembered the pictures and walked straight up to Abby and grabbed a hold of her for a big hug.

"McGee…thanks for the love, but what's going on?"

"Yeah what's going on here?"

"Gibbs…" McGee starts but stops when he couldn't think of what to say. Gibbs continued to stare at him.

"Leroy Jethro Gibbs you leave Timmy alone." Abby turns and gets the fingerprints running through all databases. "What's happening?"

"DiNozzo call into the morgue and have Ducky, Palmer, and Ziva come to the lab. I want to only explain this once."

"On it." Tony makes his way to the phone but before he could call Ducky, Palmer and Ziva appear in the doorway. Ducky and Palmer were on either side of her helping Ziva keep weight off here ankle. As soon as Abby saw them she rolled over a chair for Ziva.

"I am fine. I don't need help. They wouldn't even let me ride the elevator on my own!" Ziva yells out irritated that everyone was trying to coddle her.

"Zeevah we are family and we care, so shut up and deal with it." Tony grabs the other chair and sits down next to her. Before he could continue talking Abby's machines start beeping.

"We have a match on our search…"
