A/N: Hi everyone, long awaited update here for you. Brownie points to anyone who can figure out my inspiration for Don and Jethro's conversation! Unbetaed.

"Captain Donald Cragen." Don answered his phone briskly as he was flicking through the pile of DD-5's on his desk.

"Don, it's Jethro. Need to talk to you about a case."

"Shoot Gunny."

"Lyla Brown."

"What about her?"

"Why were your detectives at her house?"

"Rape, attempted murder."

"How do you know about her son?"

"She has a son?!"

"Yes she has a son."

"Aren't we talking about her?"

"What do you mean aren't we talking about? I want to know why you had detectives at her house."

"I had detectives at her house, investigating her rape. Why do you want to know?"

"Her son, marine sniper Lieutenant Sergeant Jarrod Brown was raped and murdered. I sent my SFA and a mossad liaison officer, that Jenn forced onto me after Kate, to talk to Lyla about her son. Being that she is in a similar situation it is possible those two are connected. It might be a good idea to send the forensics with Tony and Ziva to the lab that i have access to, it would be quicker and we have more resources and less cases. Then work it as a joint opperation."

"Ok then. I belive your agents are currently in my lab, I'll call and have everything sent over. If I send a detective to you and keep an agent? That way we both know everything." Don suggested to his old friend.

"Ok. Do you want DiNozzo or David?"

"I was thinking DiNozzo and Stabler? He needs a reminder of the legal side of things and what you have said about David does not give me any good feelings about the two of them together."

Jethro said good bye and then disconnected the line before he started laughing. Oh this would be fun to see.

Olivia and Elliot picked up Ziva and Tony from 173rd street and took them

down to 1PP to see Ryan O'Halleran, NYPD's forensic scientist. As the four

walked into the lab they seen Dale Stuckie the very unloved lab assistant.

"Ryan called. Said he had something?" Olivia queried as she stepped forward.

"Uh um." Stuckie stuttered.

"Yes I did. Stuckie go to the evidence locker and see if evidence lot

0743289 is in for me please." Ryan said shoving a stack of papers into

Stuckie's hands.

"7 numbers means it was before it got computerized though!" Stuckie

complained. Elliot glared at him and took a mennersing step forward.

Stuckie whimpered and ran from the room. Elliot smiled broadly happy to

have wipe the smug smile of Stuckie's face. It didn't last for long as

Stuckie walked back in 30 seconds later with some random female.

"Hi I'm Allison Emthire, you can just call me Alli, your new ADA." Elliot,

Olivia and Ryan groaned.

"Detectives Benson, Stabler and this is forensic specialist Mr.

O'Hallaran." Elliot said introducing himself, his partner and favorite lab

techie.

"I am Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo from NCIS and my partner, Mossad

Liaison Officer Zee-va Duh-veed." Tony said breaking her name up into the

syllables and with a slight accent.

"Ohh! First names?! I've been to the precinct and I only got Captain

Cragen and Detectives Munch and Tutola." Alli said glumly. Elliot grinned

broadly.

"We prefer not to get to attached to our A.D.A's now a days." Elliot said

offering no more in the way of explanation. Then seeing Stuckie back he

growled. Stuckie gulped an took off as fast a he could.

"Do you always intimidate the Lab assistants, Detective?" Alli asked

slightly concerned.

"Only the ones that cause trouble." Olivia stepped in answering for her

partner. She shot Elliot a glare, calm down, her eyes pleaded. He moved his

eyes in a nodding gesture.

"What is an A.D.A?" Ziva asked confused.

"Assistant District Attorney, Zeevah." Tony said quickly under his breathe.

"LEO's version of JAG."

"Ahh. Rule number 13 Tony?" Ziva muttered back.

"Rule 13?" Ryan questioned.

"Our team leader, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs has a set of rules,

about 50, pertaining to working. Rules 1-3 have a double due to Gibbs'

boss, Retired Special Agent Mike Franks. Rules 1-39 are general rules.

Rules in the 40's however are different. They are only used in desperate

times. But rule 13 is a pretty big one, never EVER involve lawyers." Tony explained as his phone started to ring. A second later Elliot's phone rang. Both answering the phone together, they received the news that the partnerships would be split up. Tony took it well. He had met John Munch and was looking forward to seeing him again and finding out if Elliot was as hot headed as Ziva. Elliot wasn't happy about the split he only worked well with Olivia. On the up side at least he was going to DC and working with a fellow Marine. With them both breaking the news to their partners, they felt a sense of foreboding.
