oooOOOOooo
Gibbs walked into the office, his footfalls silent.
As usual Ziva was focused on work. McGee's hands flew across his keyboard. And Tony lounged in his seat, aiming a paper ball at McGee's head. Gibbs walked up behind him and smacked the back of his head just as he threw the paper ball.
"Ouch!" Tony complained.
Seeing the glint in Gibbs' eye Tony sat up straight and started working. A moment later, Gibbs' desk phone rang.
"Gibbs."
"We're on our way." Gibbs replied hanging up.
"What we got Boss?" Tony asked standing up and grabbing his gear.
"A dead female Navy Officer in Norfolk. McGee, get Ducky. Ziva gas the truck. Let's move." Gibbs ordered heading for the elevator.
oooOOOOooo
Pulling up to the crime scene, Gibbs glared at the other agents on the scene.
"What is the FBI doing on our crime scene?" McGee asked.
"That's exactly what I intend to find out." Gibbs replied, stepping out of the car.
"This is going to be interesting." Ziva stated, grabbing her bag from the back of the van.
"Next time I'm driving, Ziva. You almost got us killed when you took that last corner." Tony complained, holding his stomach.
"Stop complaining, Tony. I don't drive worse than Gibbs does." Ziva smirked walking past him.
"You lost Fornell?" Gibbs asked as he can to stand next to Fornell.
"Jethro," Fornell greeted. "You're late."
Gibbs took in the scene. FBI Agents had already secured the perimeter. Some appeared to be taking statements from possible witnesses. Another agent kneeled next to the dead woman. The victim lay face down, arms tied at her back, her clothes in shreds and clear evidence of sexual assault. Blood coated the ground beneath her pelvis and along her left side.
Gibbs turned his attention the kneeling agent. Her long, mahogany red hair held back in a single ponytail was the first thing to peak his interest.
"DiNozzo, sketch. Ziva, photo's, McGee bag and tag." Gibbs ordered while observing the agent still kneeling next to the body.
"You do know the deceased is a Navy Officer, right?" Gibbs asked Fornell.
"Yeah, and you do know that she is Senator Mayfield's granddaughter, right." Fornell replied.
Gibbs looked at him and asked, "So what do you want and what do we get?"
"You get the body and all the evidence collected. We investigate jointly and when the case is solved the FBI gets the credit."
"So nothing changed."
"Same old, same old, Jethro. NCIS should be used to it by now." Fornell smirked as he and Gibbs moved around the body.
"Fornell, your agent's doing something weird over the body." DiNozzo chirped.
Having rounded the body Gibbs got his first view of her face. She was beautiful. Her complexion was sun-kissed, her lips full and her hands, soft. And her eyes were closed. But DiNozzo was right. She was doing something weird, moving her hands in a circular motion over the body.
Gibbs raised an eyebrow at Fornell, but he indicated that they remain silent.
As they observed the female agent she started speaking.
"Laughter..." She smiled.
If she was beautiful before, she was gorgeous now. Gibbs thought.
McGee and Ziva stopped working the scene and everyone watched the female agent.
"She knew him..."
"A silver watch on his left wrist..." She frowned.
Gibbs looked at Fornell again. He put his finger to his lips. Gibbs nodded and looked back at the agent. She appeared to be in her late twenties. From what he could see of her physique, she was slim, not too tall and generously endowed.
"A wedding band on his left ring finger..."
DiNozzo made to say something, but Gibbs stopped him. Despite that DiNozzo hummed the title music from the Twilight Zone.
"Mmmm, No... She wants him to stop."
"She doesn't want to do it... not tonight."
"She tells him..."
"Argh!" The agent gasps as if in shock, her face contorting into a grimaced of pain.
"He hits her... Argh!" She jerks as if she is the one being hurt.
"Again and again..."
Tony, Ziva and McGee move forward, as does Gibbs. Fornell warns them to hold back by raising his hands.
"Violates her... Arrggghhh! God!" She moans out in agony.
"Fornell." Gibbs questions. It is clear that she is in pain.
"Not yet." Fornell replies.
"Stabs... her... Oh God! Her baby... he kills her baby... Aarrrgggghhhh!" She jerks, falling onto her back, unconscious.
"That's why I don't work for you Fornell. You work your people to death." Tony said as Fornell and Gibbs kneeled next to the fallen agent.
"Is the FBI running a new experiment on their agents? Torturous visions, perhaps." Ziva scowled.
Fornell ignored their comments, concern for his agent clearly evident on his face.
"Agent Shah, Jasmine?" Fornell tapped her cheek.
She didn't respond. Just then Ducky and Jimmy arrived.
"Jethro, you didn't tell us there were two bodies." Ducky admonished.
"There aren't. Agent Shah collapsed a moment ago. Take a look at her Ducky. The rest of you get back to work." Gibbs ordered.
For some reason he continued kneeling next to her as Ducky started taking her vital signs. She stirred, turning towards Gibbs as if in pain. He automatically reached out to her, his palm cradling her cheek.
"Is she okay Dr Mallard?" Fornell asked, worry furrowing his brow.
"Her BP's high and her pulse is racing at 148 per minute. What did you do to this poor lady?" Ducky scowled.
Fornell ran an hand over his face.
"Yeah Fornell, why don't you explain what just happened?" Gibbs asked, his voice tinged with irritation.
"Agent Shah's new. Just in from 4 years in India. She is known for her extrasensory abilities and this is the first case she's worked on. She told us not to interfere when she has an episode as it could be dangerous. None of us thought it was real until just now." Fornell stated.
"Extrasensory Abilities? Do you mean she is a psychic?" Ducky questioned.
Fornell just nodded. Tony whistled in the back ground until Ziva pulled him away.
Gibbs looked back at Agent Shah.
A psychic! What next? He thought incredulously.
Then he remembered all she had said and he wondered if there could possibly be something to it. She sighed at that moment, her eyes fluttering open. Looking up her hazel, green eyes collided with Gibbs'.
She smiled, lifted her hand to his cheek and whispered, "You again. I've missed you. When are you going to stop teasing me with these tantalising glimpses of your gorgeous self?"
"Aamm Agent Shah, are you okay?" Fornell asked as Gibbs' cheeks turned red.
Ducky laughed enjoying Gibbs' discomfort.
"What!? Oh!" Jasmine gasped, confused.
Then she realised that she was still touching Gibbs and he was not just a vision, but a flesh and blood man, a very gorgeous, warm, flesh and blood man.
"Oh my God. I'm ..." She mumbled, sitting up too quickly.
Pain rushed through her skull as it always did after an intense vision.
"Oh!" She gasped, grabbing her head.
"Slowly my dear. I suggest we get you out of the sun and provide you with some refreshment. Jethro, do you mind?" Ducky asked.
Jasmine needed help but when she realized who Jethro was, she rushed to say, "Thank you. I'm fine. I'll get to my car myself."
"Jasmine, let me help you." Fornell offered, causing her to turn unsteadily and knock her forehead against Gibbs' jaw. Gibbs reached out to prevent her from falling.
"Oof! I'm ... aaahhh ... sorry, Jethro." She murmured pulling free of his hold and heading to her car.
Gibbs, Fornell and Ducky watched her go.
"Do you know her, Boss?" Tony asked, stepping up to them.
"No." Gibbs said turning away.
But I intend to... Gibbs decided.
He could still feel her hand on his cheek and her sensual eyes looking deeply at him. She intrigued him and the sound of his name on her lips... well it just made him feel certain things that he had not felt in a long, long time.
Yes, I am definitely going to get to know you, Jasmine Shah...
oooOOOOooo
