I am sooooooo sorry. I took way too long to write this. I've actually had half of this written for two months and I'm going on hiatus in 16 days. For two months. In my defense, I had standardized testing all month (NJASK). And after that I had to study for finals that continue tomorrow (I'm still convinced I'm going to fail). Did anybody else really like the season finale of NCIS, as lacking in Tiva as it was. Bones was very legit, although the lack of hug/kiss at the airport between B/B was disappointing, how about Sweets being all badass with his cute little hat and Hodgins and Angela going to Paris. Go Hodgela! Soon we might have little Hodgins and little Angela. I've already thought up names for their kids, the boy is Wyatt and the girl is Prudence. Anyway, back to the story. So, I have decided to lay off the romantic stuff for now. It's on to the actual case. Reviews are love.

…

The team looked at it. It seemed as if it was a bomb. Maybe it was, but they didn't know that. What they did know was the fact that it had been left on Tony's desk. Addressed to Former Detective Anthony DiNozzo. They weren't sure what it was. Actually, they were too scared to find out. Semi-surprisingly, it was Tony who opened it. They were actually disappointed.

It was a DVD.

On the DVD it said, also to Dr. Temperance Brennan.

"Well we have some time to kill, then" Tony said, trying to lighten the mood

Brennan and Booth had yet to come back from interviewing a witness in Virginia.

"This is no time for jokes, DiNozzo. You don't know what could be on there." Gibbs growled, head slapping Tony. Secretly, he was concerned.

"I know Boss, it's just…" Tony trailed off. The others nodded; he didn't need to finish that sentence.

Just then, Brennan and Booth came in, arguing. They seemed to be arguing about Brennan.

"I am not acting strangely. I was just trying to be helpful" Brennan sounded indignant

"You never offer to stay in the car, though. Are you sure you aren't skittish because of what happened?" he lowered his voice on the last sentence

Brennan ignored him and walked over to Tony, kissing him on the cheek. Everyone knew that they were going out, but no one knew about the engagement. They were waiting for the right time.

"Hey you, what's going on?" Brennan said grinning as she slid her arms around his waist.

"This came for us" he said, showing her the DVD

She furrowed her eyebrows, "What's on it?"

He said "we don't know, we were waiting for you"

She looked up at him, "So let me rephrase that, what do you think is on there?"

He looked thoughtful for a moment before he shrugged and said "Well, it was literally addressed to both of us, so whatever it is, it can't be good."

Brennan nodded, "Considering what I'm thinking of, you're probably right."

Everybody else looked at each other wondering, not for the first time, how exactly the two knew each other. Team Gibbs a little less because they had a vague idea of some of the things Tony had done.

They put in the DVD and suddenly, a whole bunch of pictures popped up. They were all crime scene photos of girls. One by one they flew by, until they stopped at a little girl who looked about six with curly blonde hair and blue eyes that were open and stared blankly. They heard a sound that sounded almost inhuman. They looked over and saw Brennan sobbing, burying her face into Tony's neck. Tony was looking close to tears and his mouth was set in a firm line, meaning he was angry. A rarity for him. He also had a look of, could that possibly be regret, on his face.

Then, a voice could be heard on the screen.

"Hello Anthony and Temperance. You probably remember me; I am, after all, a recurring figure in your nightmares. Good. I should be. Especially, you Tony. Poor, innocent, sweet young girls had to die because you weren't smart enough. Well, guess what. It's going to happen again. Your petty officer was just the tip of the iceberg. More pretty little girls will die. They are my specialty, you know. And, Temperance, you will be forced to watch your boyfriend spiral out of control as the guilt takes over. We both know he barely survived it last time. I'm going to make sure that he doesn't. Then, you will slowly lose what's left of your so-called 'family'. And, you too shall join your cowardly boyfriend in death. Team Gibbs, will suffer too. Tony is the glue; you will not survive without him. Well, at least Gibbs won't. He too will take the metaphorical coward's way out. Then, you shall slowly fall apart. When that day comes, I will be sitting somewhere far away and I will laugh as blood pours down from the sky."

There was dead silence except for Brennan's sobs. She backed away and looked at Tony.

"We're going to alright, aren't we?" she asked hopefully

Tony slowly shook his head. She began to cry again, "That's what I figured."

Angela crossed her arms and said "Well first thing's first"

Brennan turned around, Angela had everyone's attention.

"What's that?" Brennan asked, with Tony's arms around her waist.

"Tell us how the hell you two met; I'm sick of you dodging this question" Angela was mad now

Tony buried his face in Brennan's hair and she sighed as he pulled her close. Then, he looked up.

"Well, it goes something like this…"

….

I couldn't help it. I just had to leave it on a cliffhanger. I will try to have the next chapter up soon. Also, I'm a little stuck on the backstory, so if someone could send me some suggestions would help very much. Please review. I am disappointed in the lack of reviews. Please, I am going away soon and I would love to go out on a positive note.
