Mysteries and Memories
"NCIS? What's that?"
"Naval Criminal Investigative Services, Ms. Dennison," Ziva said, catching the end of Dani's question to her brother. "I am Special Agent David, and this is Special Agent DiNozzo."
"Damn," Max groaned. "I should have known they'd tail me."
"You were the woman with that guy today," Dani frowned.
"Then you don't know you assaulted a Federal Agent today?" Tony slipped up beside them.
"Assaulted?" Max cried, glaring at his younger sister.
"I didn't assault anyone! I kissed him."
"An unwanted kiss or caress is considered assault," Ziva tipped her head to the side and narrowed her eyes.
"You kissed a total stranger?" Max frowned at her, ignoring Ziva and Tony. "Why?"
"I don't know, Max! He reminded me of Binx!" Dani hissed quietly.
"Thackery Binx - who's been dead for over three hundred years?" Tony caught the end of her hiss.
"No," Dani narrowed her eyes at him. "Your friend reminded me of an old friend of mine who moved away when I was eight."
"Dani," Max looked sad for his sister.
"Don't give me that 'Dani' crap, Max. You got your fairytale ending, okay? Binx - he left in the end."
"Dani, he was older than you and you were just a kid."
"Yeah, and he gave me my first kiss, or did you forget Max? Because that night is pretty much burned into my heart," Dani looked close to tears again.
"Oookay," Tony looked confused. "So just to clarify, you have no knowledge of a Lieutenant Jacob Grier?"
"Who?" Dani frowned.
"Wild goose chase," Tony shook his head. "You really puckered up to McGee because of a childhood sweetheart?"
"McGee is his name?" Dani frowned.
"Special Agent Timothy McGee. And you've never heard of him either?" Ziva demanded.
"First time I ever laid eyes on him was today. I - it was startling to see Binx again - or who I thought was Binx," Dani chewed her lip.
"What about Thom E. Gemcity?" Tony snapped his fingers.
"The mystery writer? I don't read murder mysteries," Dani shook her head.
"You just felt an animal attraction to McGee then?"
"Apparently."
"Uh, that was less complex then I thought it would be," Tony's shoulders slumped. "And oddly disappointing."
"Look, is he gonna press charges -"
"No. Just be careful who you kiss without their permission, Ms. Dennison," Tony flashed her a bright smile. "Or, look for more dashing Federal Agents to seduce."
"Yeah, whatever."
"C'mon Dani," Max led her away, picking their way through the old graveyard.
"Okay, awkward," Tony cleared his throat, reaching for his phone just as it started to ring. "DiNozzo."
"Why are you and Ziva in an old cemetery?"
"Abby, why are you tracking my phone?"
"Why are you and Ziva hiding things from me - or should I say trying and failing?" Abby demanded over the line.
"Gibbs asked -"
"Gibbs and McGee solved the case fifteen minutes ago - so I would rethink that answer, Tony. And you can be perfectly honest and tell me it has to do with the girl who tried to swallow Tim's face whole on the street."
"How'd you find out about that, Abs?"
"Hello, this is me we're talking about. I know everything."
"You got the CCTV feed on the street."
"Bingo. So, we figure out who that masked man is?"
"Nothing more than a case of mistaken identity, Abby."
"Really?"
"Yeah, just a girl with a childhood crush."
"For what year?"
"Huh?"
"You know Tim was in Salem on October 31st, 1993 -"
"How old was the girl, Ziva?" Tony cut Abby off, which he was sure he'd pay for later.
"Twenty-five."
"And she'd have been about eight in 1993."
"Tim's family was in a crash in '93 - he had a mild concussion."
"What does that mean about this girl?" Tony frowned as he relayed the news to Ziva.
"That he possibly was this Binx in question?" Ziva asked.
"Or that its a coincidence?"
"I don't believe in coincidences." Abby huffed over the line.
Tim McGee stared at the image of the girl on his laptop. Abby had sent her file to him, but no matter how hard he stared at her picture, he still couldn't place her. His last visit to Salem had only been in passing - his mom had gotten distracted behind the wheel at a cloud of smoke coming from somewhere in the city and had swerved into a ditch. They'd only spent the night - and most of that was in the hospital.
He'd never met this girl - Dani - in his life. And still he couldn't stop staring at her.
"Pretty girl," Gibbs said from behind him. Tony, Ziva, Abby and Ducky had already gone to dinner leaving the two of them behind.
"Wish I remembered meeting her before. Whoever this Binx guy was, he certainly left his mark on her," Tim gave a small smile.
"Said something about him being her first kiss. Girls don't forget a thing like that," Gibbs nodded.
"Hmm."
"Go look her up, Tim," Gibbs shook his head.
"But we're leaving in a few -"
"Won't be leaving til morning, McGee," Gibbs sighed. "If you don't go you'll always wonder."
