NCIS
chapter 14
Teaser-a van drives off with the agents car riddle with bullets.
The team begins their normal work when a familiar face enters the squad room. She is not alone though, she kisses a man and he exit through the elevator.
Ziva David enters the place where she works and goes to Lead Agent DiNozzo.
Tony sits in his seat pretending not to notice her. Then he smiles and asks, "Who was that, Ziva?"
"A boyfriend. Why are you jealous Tony?"
"No. It seems that you have moved along since you have been away."
"Yes. It appears NCIS has moved on too."
Tony continues to check his e-mail as he talks, "Well...we all can't live in-"he suddenly stops and looks concerned at what he is reading.
Ziva sees this and ask, "Tony? Are you alright?"
She goes around the desk but Tony clears the screen before she can see it.
"It was nothing." as he is still shocked over the content.
"McCormick, keep working. I'll be in MTAC."
McCormick heads up to MTAC and follows tony in. He is speaking with Naval intelligence.
"Yes ma'am. We are receiving the info now." Tony responds.
"Be sure you find the woman. She and her husband could be a possible national security risk."
"You can count on my team. DiNozzo out."
McCormick is looking at DiNozzo and asks, "So...I assume we have a case."
"That's right, McCormick. We have a missing wife of a Naval officer. We have to find her and her husband."
McCormick stands there and awaits orders.
"Are you waiting for something?" Tony asks.
"Permission to speak freely, sir."
"This isn't the military. What is it?"
"I do not think you were a good choice to lead this team. I have more experience, and I should have been made lead agent."
"Really...Well, you didn't learn from the best. And that is Leroy Jethro Gibbs. You also have had some problems with overextending your authority in the past. So...in turn, it is you who is the junior lead agent and I am the senior agent. Got it?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well..." Tony asks as McCormick is still standing there.
He leaves and informs the others.
Tony goes down to the lab where Kellie is working on evidence from the Gibbs case.
"What do you have?"
"Nothing yet. Don't you have a case or something?"
"Delegating authority. Although I don't think my team likes me."
"How can that be? You are a likable guy."
"It's McCormick. He is such..."
"A hard ass."
"Your words, not mine."
"Okay. It'll be a few hours before we get the analysis back on the bomb residue."
"Good. I'll be back in an hour."
Tony goes to give out assignments as Ziva is back at her old desk and Morgan is trying to figure out his computer programming.
"Is there a problem, probie?"
"Uh...no. Well...yes. I can't make head or tails of this computer."
"Well, you just have to speak geek."
"I'm sorry, sir. I was a explosive and demolitions expert."
"Oh, so you know how to dismantle bomb, yes?" Ziva asks.
"Uh...no, ma'am."
"Ma'am!" Ziva yells.
"Wrong thing to say probie." Tony informs.
She sits back down as Tony orders, "Okay, McCormick you and Ziva take the case of the missing naval officer and his wife. probie and I have something to check out."
McCormick gets up to leave as Ziva goes over to Tony and asks, "Is it about...Gibbs?"
"Yes Officer David, it is. You might want to catch up with you partner."
Ziva hurries up and enters the elevator. Morgan fumbles his things and follows Tony to the stairs.
"So time today, Morgan."
Tony and Morgan are driving to a warehouse where they believe a terrorist cell was operating.
"So...how is you shooting?" Tony asks.
"It's good."
"Good. It better be better than good, probie."
"Uh...sir, my training wasn't in explosives."
"Then what was it?"
"Public relations. And a little lab work."
"Well this a great time to tell me. I think we're being followed." as Tony looks in his mirror and sees a dark colored van closing in.
Morgan turns around and sees the van ram them.
"Yeah...definatley being followed." the new agent informs.
"Ya think." Tony yells.
The car comes to a stop and the agents get out with their guns drawn. The people in the van get out with automatic weapons. They fire at the car and blow out the tries and shatter the windows.
"Probie! Go around to the rear of the van."
He gets up and is hit in the head with a rubber bullet. It knocks him out. Tony fires back and shoots one of the terrorists in the chest. The other go in and surround Tony. He surrenders as they take him into the van. The probie is still out as the van drives away.
