Sorry for the delay. I gave you like 3 new chapters at the beginning of the week so I gave myself a little break....then I went to submit this and had some technical difficulties. It took me until now to come up with a way to submit the content without submitting the document to Document Manager......just call me McGee :)


Ziva sat in bed reading. She had actually slept until 10 o'clock which had surprised her. Knowing that Tony would send her back home, she opted to stay home until at least noon. That was not going well. It was only eleven o'clock and she had already almost left many times. She did not like being home alone. Suddenly her phone vibrated and she grabbed it quickly.

"Ziva DiNozzo" She stated in her professional voice.

Jeez babe. Why so formal? Tony joked

"Hello Tony."

Hey babe, I know I told you to stay home until noon but I have a feeling that you want to get out of the house and we've got a case.

Ziva smiled. Sure it was bad that someone was dead but paperwork for the past month was getting boring. "I'll be there soon." He gave her an address then hung up.

She jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed. In 5 minutes she was in her mini cooper on the way to the crime scene.


Tony Started unloading the fan when he heard tires squealing. "Zi's here." He said to McGee, who laughed. Tony walked over to Ziva as she got out of the car. He kissed her then put his arms around her shoulder. They walked together to the van to get supplies.

"Female. 35 years-old. Jane Doe. Appears to be suicide. Shot to the head. McGee bag and tag. Tony pictures. Ziva statements." Gibbs yelled as he round the corner of the van, coffee in hand.

"Gibbs, you know I hate taking statements." Ziva complained. Gibbs walked up and got in Ziva's face.

"You are not going anywhere near that body Ziver." She nodded and grabbed a pencil and pad of paper.

"Is she in the Navy?" Tony asked.

"Nope."

"Marine?"

"No."

"Then why are we investigating?"

"Because of this." Gibbs held up a piece of paper in an evidence bag.

NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo

Tony read the card over and over. Then ran to the body. He stopped in his tracks once he saw her face.

"Jeanne."
