I do not own NCIS, or any of it's characters.

Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes. Also for not updating in so long. I've been really busy with school lately.


Tony glared at the man with complete and total hate, "You wanted to come to NCIS?"

***

Ari grinned at Tony, "Of course, to see somebody."

Tony immediately knew who he had come to see, "Ziva."

"Correct. Why do you think she's been acting so nice lately? You don't really think that she cared at all about you being glum? No, I told her on the phone that I would be meeting her soon at NCIS. She apparently is looking forward to seeing me."

"I don't understand. How did you survive?"

"Surely you know the answer to this, Agent DiNozzo. Ziva. As I said before she could never really kill me. She was trained to be a killer, but she isn't that merciless. In Gibbs basement she used a fake gun, and I used a prop," then Ari stumbled back and grabbed his stomach. Tony could see redness coming through his shirt.

But then Ari stood up and lifted his shirt up. Reveling a red pouch.

This is very important. In this version Ari supposedly died by a couple bullets to the stomach.

"One of those things that they use in movies. Isn't that your expertise? Then I injected myself with this shot," he held up a needle,"this temporarily lowered my breathing and heart rate to almost nothing. But I was still alive. Then when Ziva was alone with me we switched a dead look alike of me with myself."

"No, Ziva wouldn't."

"Agent DiNozzo, she has been trained since she was little to kill. She simply shot him in the same areas where I was supposed to be shot."

Tony pushed this out of his mind, he almost ran to the bull pen. There McGee had his head in his hands. Even though Tony was mad and shoked at the moment he still had time to talk to McGee.

"Whats the matter, McGlum?"

"All of my data from 'The Elf Chronicals' game is gone. I was this close to defeating the dark gnome of Witch Woods!"

" McGee there are so many, and I can't even begin to say, so many ways to mock you right now. But this is ergent."

McGee quickly stood up, "What's the matter."

"It's about Ziva."

McGee furrowed his eyebrows.

Tony did a deep sigh, "And Ari."

Immediately Tony could see the hurt in McGee's eyes. He too had experienced the pain of losing Kate, "What about him."

"It's complicated."

"Tony I have a right to know. I am your partner."

"Fine. I'll tell you. But first tell me where Ziva is."

"Uh, I think that she said something about getting a coffee."

"I have to talk to her about something important.... and ask her a lot of things that are important. Can you locate her cell?"

"Yup, I'm on it," McGee had already exited from his game window and was tracking her cell, "She's at a Dunkin Donuts, about two miles away."

"I have to go."

"Hey, I told you where Ziva is, you explain now."

"You really want to know?"

McGee nodded his head.

"Okay, here it goes, Elf Lord."


What do you think? I wanted to incorporate McGee into this story, so you will be seeing more of him. Sorry for not updating in so long. But I might review quicker next time if you click on this alluring green button and give me a review.
