Chapter 5

Working with "Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo"

"Lovely," Tony said, kneeling by the body. "You're old fashion knife job. Just go behind them and slit their throat. Kind of like-"

"Don't even start comparing it to a movie or something, Tony," Ziva interrupted. She flashed a quick picture of Tony by the body. "And that one's for the scrapbook."

Kitty went over to Jacob's body also. She stood over his body, staring down at him. Her brown hair was now tied back in a ponytail. "Can't believe this actually happened to him."

"If you need a shoulder-" Tony started.

"Shut up!" Ziva said.

Kitty sighed and knelt next to the body. Ducky came over and took a liver temperature check. He read his instrument and then looked up at the agents.

"He's been here for a while," Ducky said. "He died somewhere between…" He checked his watch. "… Eleven and two last night."

"Who'd want to kill this guy?" Tony asked out loud. "What'd he do to piss someone off?"

Kitty saw something under his jacket. She took a picture and then moved the jacket. Underneath were some keys. She photographed them also and picked them up. Written on one key were the numbers: A31. The door they were in front of was the same number.

"Well, he almost made the safety of his apartment," Kitty said. She held up the keys to Ziva. "Same number."

"Hey, Gibbs," Ziva said. Gibbs wasn't there. "Where's he gone?"

"To get the apartment manager," Tony said. "Get the keys to get in the room."

"If Dad had patience we could've spared him the trip," Kitty said. She thought for a second. "Well, this wasn't a robbery, was it?" Tony, Ziva, and McGee looked at her. "I mean, the keys are out here. And they were placed only the way a body could fall."

"So you're saying this was just to kill him?" Tony asked.

"Yeah," Kitty said.

Gibbs showed up just then. "What'd you find?"

"Keys," Kitty said. Ziva held them up for Gibbs to see. "We're guessing this wasn't a robbery."

"Let's get a look in the room and outside," Ziva said. "Partners?"

"I've got outside," Kitty said.

"Room," McGee said.

"I'll-" Ziva started until Tony stood up.

"I'll take outside, also," Tony said.

Kitty looked at Ziva for help. Ziva sighed and shook her head. Kitty understood that she'd have to work with DiNozzo for this at least. As long as he focused on working instead of trying to get her to like him.

The two walked down the steps and outside. They followed the path leading to the apartment, trying to find something.

"Uhh, what're we looking for exactly?" Kitty asked.

"If you don't know what we're looking for, why'd you volunteer for outside?" Tony asked her.

"Don't answer my question with another question!" Kitty snapped. Tony looked over at her with polite curiosity. She sighed and answered, "Because there's not going to be anything in that room. We established that it was most likely not robbery."

"Well, there could be something in the room that could lead to why he was killed," Tony said.

The two split off to go around the building. Kitty sighed and swung her camera around.

"My first day here and I have to work with 'Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo,'" Kitty said in a mocking tone. "Why couldn't I work with Ziva? What about Dad? Or even Probie? Anybody other than this guy who first looks at a girl's butt before her face."

She looked over at the flower beds and the sidewalk, looking for anything to help them with Jacob's murder. There was nothing.

On the other side of the building, Tony attempt to find anything was even less productive than Kitty's.

"This is useless. I can't find anything!" Tony said exasperatedly. Right then his cell phone rang. He flipped it open. "Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo."

"Shut up, DiNozzo," Gibbs said. "I know who you are. Don't you ever check whose calling?"

"No, boss," Tony said. "What'd you want?"

"For you to shut up!" Gibbs said. "I can hear you from the room."

Tony looked up to see an open window. Just then, Ziva stuck her head out to look at Tony. "I would've gone out there but somebody wanted to 'help' our new agent."

Kitty had finished her circle of the building and was now standing behind Tony. "Will people stop referring to me as the 'new agent?'"

Up in the room, Gibbs was listening to the conversation on the phone as Tony still hadn't hung up. He turned to Ziva who was still at the window. "Ziva, tell Kitty to hit DiNozzo so he'll start working."

"Kitty, Gibbs said you can hit Tony," Ziva said.

Kitty smacked Tony in the back of the head with the same strength her father had. Tony closed his eyes as he felt the hit.

"Thanks, boss," Tony said.

Gibbs went over to the window and looked out as well. "Get to work, DiNozzo."

"Got it, boss," Tony said. He and Ziva's heads disappeared. Then Gibbs reappeared. "Yeah, boss?"

"Hang up your phone, DiNozzo," Gibbs said.

Tony looked down to his still open phone. "Got it, boss," he repeated.

"And don't forget it," Gibbs said, going back into the room.

The two walked towards the sidewalk with their cameras. Kitty went to the street to find anything. In the grass was a set of footprints.

"Hope there's not a stay-off-the-grass rule," Kitty said.

"Huh?" Tony asked.

Kitty pointed to the footprints. "Jacob wanted to get to his apartment quickly."

"Think he was being chased?" Tony guessed.

"Either that or he had that prickly feeling that you get when you know something's wrong," Kitty said. She took pictures of it. "Or it could be just some stupid kids. Still…"

"Or he could've had to pee really badly," Tony suggested.

Kitty scoffed in disgust.

Tony went around before turning back to Kitty. She was walking away from him. And he couldn't help but stare a little.

"DiNozzo, stop staring at my butt!" Kitty yelled

Tony snapped his eyes back up to her face. "I was looking past you at something!"

"Well, what was there that was so conveniently located for you to stare at my ass?" Kitty asked. "Show me. I'd like to see."

Tony laughed slightly. "You remind me so much of Gibbs."

"Good," Kitty said. "Seriously, DiNozzo, can we get some work done?"

Tony noticed a few footprints in the grass that look new. He followed them back up to the building. When he got to the sidewalk, there were wet footprints.

"Uh oh," Tony said. "Not good." He pulled his phone out of his pocket and called Gibbs.

Upstairs, Gibbs answered his phone.

"What, DiNozzo," Gibbs demanded.

"Boss, we've got a problem," Tony said, taking quick pictures of the prints before they evaporated. "I've got wet footprints here and they weren't here a minute ago."

"DiNozzo, did you think of the possibility they were yours?" Gibbs asked exasperatedly. It reminded Tony of how Kitty had just been talking to him.

"Boss, Kitty and I have been on the pavement," DiNozzo said. He put his shoe next to one footprint. "Besides, these prints have bigger sizes than I do."

"Dammit!" Gibbs shouted.

"What?" Ziva asked.

"Damn police didn't secure the place," Gibbs said. "DiNozzo, get Kitty up here. Not until that ground is secured, do you here me?"

"Got it, boss," Tony said.

Kitty was going to a section of trees that surrounded the apartment complex. She heard someone yelling her name but she didn't listen. All she focused on was the sounds ahead of her. A twig snapped.

Kitty saw a shadow ahead. She fell back into the denser part of the trees.

"Come out, come out," Kitty breathed quietly.

A hand gripped her arm. She spun around and aimed a kick at her attacker. There was the bright glare of light on metal. Then Kitty felt something slash against her arm, he was trying to weaken her.

"Tony!" Kitty cried. "DiNozzo! Dammit! Come help me!"

Tony heard her yelling and ran over to the noises.

Kitty tried kicking her attacker again. He put the knife to her throat. "Oh, God," Kitty thought. "I'm going to die."

Then he let her go. Kitty fell to the ground, cradling her arm. Tony appeared, holding his gun up. He knelt next to her.

"You alright?" Tony asked.

"He tried to kill me," Kitty said. "He put the knife to my throat. And he cut my arm." She showed him the wound.

Tony looked up one last time at where the man had left. Then he went back to Kitty. He helped her stand up and they went back over to the apartment complex. They went to the plaza area and Tony sat her down on one of the benches. He pulled out his cell phone and once more called Gibbs.

"DiNozzo! Where the hell are you?" Gibbs barked into the phone.

"Kitty got hurt," Tony said. "I think the guy who killed our vic was trying to kill Kitty also."

Gibbs looked over at McGee and Ziva. "Ziva, McGee, we're going."

"But… but, boss," McGee said. "We haven't finished the room."

"We're going back to NCIS," Gibbs said. "We'll come back once those damn police get this place secured."

Please please please give me a review!
