Poke, poke, poke. What the hell was poking him? Gibbs awoke with a start only to find himself in Autopsy. Ducky and Abby were both poking him with tongue suppressers. Both smiled and looked at him.
"See, young Abby? Our Gibbs is not dead." Ducky patted Abby on her back gently. Gibbs glared at both and soon Abby started to tell the story…
Abby stood in her lab swishing her lab coat about her feet. While she did this one hand patted her stomach and the other rubbed her head. She was also chewing gum, and in case it wasn't obvious enough, she was bored to death.
Thank goodness her will was all in good order.
Sighing she stopped her boredom fighting tactics and headed out of her lab to go see Gibbs.
Kate had told her that he told them to go to the crime scene without them.
Abby skipped happily through the halls waving at people as she went, however, her joyfulness stopped as she reached Gibbs.
His head was on his desk, his whole body limp. Abby ran over to him and half-shouted Gibbs a few times before she kicked him in the shin. Scared to death she leaned him back in his wheelie chair and begun rolling him to Ducky.
NCIS, was surprisingly normal in one sense. It was completely out of the ordinary to see someone rolling a seemingly dead body down the hallway. However, no one paid attention, because, after all, Gibbs was being pushed by Abby. Most just assumed that a case involving elephant sedatives had gone wrong, or that Gibbs had talked to her about Rule number 12.
Either way, it made a strange sort of sense.
"Ducky!" she called out, "I think Gibbs is dead!"
After adjusting to roller skates Kate, Tony, McGee and Intern were processing a crime scene like never before. Not that they were doing any better or worse than normal but, none of them had ever processed a scene on roller skates. Heck, Intern hadn't EVER processed a crime before.
There wasn't very much in the way of evidence until Kate stumbled upon, literally, a pool of red.
"Tony!" she called out and within seconds he too had stumbled upon the pool, "Do you think it's blood?" She asked.
"No. The guy, wasn't bleeding or anything- hey! I'll call Steve over. Steve!" the noise temporally deafened Kate.
"Yes?" Steve slid to a graceful stop.
"This isn't blood. Do you know what it is?"
"Corn syrup and red food coloring. Been there since Saturday, I reckon. About 12:45 am, so Sunday I guess." Steve shrugged and was about to turn away.
"Why Saturday?" Kate asked after taking a picture and a sample.
"Because, that's when we kill Eddie…?" Steve said this like everyone should know what he was talking about. Not to Kate's surprise, Tony smiled and said 'ahhh''.
"Ducky? Why aren't you at the crime scene?" Gibbs asked sitting up.
"There's a crime scene? Hm… No one told me." Ducky scowled as he hit Gibbs knee rather forcefully, to check his reflexes. The results was weaker than normal, but nothing to worry about.
"It's at Steve's roller Disco." Abby offered. Ducky immediately starting gathering his stuff. Abby jumped off the table and skipped off to somewhere, leaving Gibbs alone.
"He's on the move, again." the director heard a voice come from the walkie talkie on his desk. He smiled to himself and waited for the 'over' to come but it didn't.
"Over?" the director asked in the walkie talkie.
"Oh, yeah right… Over." the voice responded.
Alex Saddle followed the man who the director had told him to follow down the street. He had seen this man around the office many times and assumed the director thought he was a spy or something.
Honestly, Alex was very happy to have been chosen to follow this gray haired man. It was a very big step up from refilling the copiers paper supply, as last week task had been.
His friends would be so excited when they heard he had been following a spy and, he assumed this would happen, single handedly apprehended him. Alex hoped he got into the newspapers. There might be a parade and a day named after him and people would give him stuff. Like a car.
"Sir, he's going into a Starbucks. Over." He said into his walkie talkie.
"Stop him. Over." The director replied and Alex sprung into action.
"Nooooooo!" He screamed and tackled the gray haired man as he opened the door to Starbucks. He put a pair of hand cuffs on the man and patted him down, reassuring the bystanders that he worked for the government.
"Ah-ha!" he pulled a gun out of the man pocket and the whole place screamed. Alex grabbed the man, and beaming proudly, begun dragging him back to NCIS.
As they headed off the man screamed about how he was Agent Gibbs, and ex-marine and he just wanted to get some coffee. It was a very bad lie in Alex's opinion.
"Hang on. You can sit here for a moment." Alex thrust the still protesting man onto a bus bench and called a radio station to inform them of what had happened. This was the station the director listened to.
Alex smiled as he told the station what had happened.
As he grabbed Gibbs for the rest of the 20 block walk, his mind filled with thoughts of his parade. It would defiantly have an elephant.
"I'm here!" Ducky announced, just as the team was starting to wonder where he was, "Abby finally informed me that there was a dead body."
The color dropped from Tony's face as he realized his mistake. Ducky didn't seem to upset by it, but… well, who knew.
"Yes, he's right over there. Where's Jimmy?" Kate asked noticing the lack on the evil assistant.
"Oh yes, Alex had something to do so Jimmy was told to be the copier-paper-re-filler-boy." Ducky shrugged and begun poking at the body, in a very professionally manner.
Steve of the roller Disco wondered whether or not the doctor knew what he was doing. Then again, the man was British.
Steve turned on the radio to his favorite news station and listened to the kind voice of the announcer.
"In other news, NCIS employee, Alex Saddle, single handedly apprehended a spy. The man reported had a gun and went to Starbucks. We'll have more of that in a minute, but first we'll talk to Annabel French, our intern about what it's like to be working here, at Norfolk's Number 1 news radio."
The whole team turned to face the radio.
"Ummm… Kate, your with me… were going to see what happened." Tony nodded over to Kate and she skated over. Both returned their skates and headed to the van.
TBC… Won't continue until I get at LEAST 5 reviews.
