Authors Notes - This is my first NCIS fan fiction so I hope that I have stayed true to the characters as much as possible. I'm from Australia so we haven't seen all the first season yet and I don't read spoilers so I hope I haven't taken any ideas from future episodes.

The rating is for later chapters. I will place a note on the chapters with have R content and if someone would like a "safe" chapter without the "R" content, send me an e.mail, and I will send it to you.

Thank you in advance for any feedback I recieve. Feedback in the only "payment" a fan fiction writer gets and it's more enjoyable for me, if I know others are reading and enjoying my story.

I would also like to thank a very special friend who has given me the determination to finish this story and has helped me in so many ways. You know who you are! Hugs my friend.

Chapter One

Tony raced into the office at a few minutes past 10, breathing a huge sigh of relief when he saw Gibbs was no where to be seen. 'Thank god,' he muttered.

'You're late,' Cait said from behind him, making him jump.

'Medical emergency,' Tony tossed his bag down and pulled off his jacket.

'There's a new word for a hangover,' Cait chuckled. She enjoyed teasing him. He deserved all the ribbing he got and in truth she liked him like a brother. Although torture wouldn't get her to admit that aloud.

'I don't have a hang over,' Tony muttered. Why was Cait always on his case? Then again he enjoyed the banter they shared, like a sister and brother.

Before Cait could reply, Gibbs appeared Starbucks coffee in hand.

'We have a case,' he said. 'Glad to see you've made an appearance DiNozzo. Get Abs and Ducky down to this address,' he tossed a post it down on Tony's desk. Tony picked it up, reading the address before he grabbed the phone.

'What have we got?' Tony asked as they arrived at crime scene. It was small house with cream white washboards and a small porch, just outside Washington, with a small tidy lawn.

'A dead body,' Gibbs replied dryly.

Tony had a childish urge to roll his eyes. Why was their boss was so sarcastic?

Gibbs led the team into the house. 'Ex marine, John O'Sullivan was found earlier this morning,' he indicated the body, which was in the loungeroom. 'Three shots to the back of the head, looks like a possible execution style killing,'

'Who found the body?' Tony asked as the team started to set up. The locals had already agreed to hand over the case.

'That we don't know,' Gibbs responded. 'An anonymous call came in at 0800,'

'Can we get a copy of the call?' Cait asked.

Gibbs gave her a look.

'I guess that will be my job,' she muttered as she started to take photos of the crime scene.

Two hours later, the team were finished with the area and the body was ready to be removed. 'I'll go and see the family, apparently there is a sister who lives about an hour away. She might be able to tell us something.' Gibbs said.

'She could even be our mystery caller,' Tony said.

'We couldn't be that lucky,' Gibbs muttered to himself as he climbed into his car and took off without another word.
