Chapter 3

(Ziva)

I was trying to pick the lock when Gibbs was starting to walk away from me "Gibbs where are you going?" I asked him.

"I heard someone talk in the child's room" Gibbs answered me and started walking again.

"Don't leave me alone" I said to him scared.

"So come with me then" Gibbs said with a little smile on his face because he had never seen Ziva so scared before.

"Okay, then wait for me" I yelled after him.

"Ziva" Gibbs said to me.

"Yes Boss" I looked worried at him.

"Don't yell" He said to me and continued to walk to the child's room.

"Sorry boss" I told him and walk after him to the door.

When we got to the door Gibbs slowly opened it and walked in. We looked around the room but we couldn't see anyone.

"There is nobody here boss shall we go back to the door at the end of the hallway?" I asked him and turned around to walk out the door.

"Yeah I'm coming now" He said and walk after me.

When we got to the end of the hallway I work on the lock at the door and this time I got it open. When I opened the door a small black room came to sight with stairs and that was the only thing there was in the small room.

Gibbs went down the stairs to get Tony, McGee, Palmer and Ducky to come up so we all could go up the stairs together.

Gibbs went first, Tony and I walk right behind him and McGee walk behind me and Tony and a minute after we got up to the attic Ducky and Palmer came to the attic.

We looked around for a minute "Tony, Ziva and McGee look for anything up here Me, Ducky and Palmer we well go and see if we can find the dead marine" Gibbs said and then turned around and walked down the stairs with Ducky and Palmer right behind him.

When they left I walk to steps forward to a small dollhouse it looked like the house just much smaller.

I looked at it for a second or two and then turned to McGee and Tony "Do you thinks it was a girl ore a boy there lived here with his or hers parents?" I asked them and then walk back to them.

"Don't know but I think it was a girl" McGee answer me with a small smile on his face.

"Why not a boy" I asked confused.

"Because it is a dollhouse and it is only girls there play with dollhouses" Tony said and looked around one more time.

"Well I will look around for anything there will make Gibbs happy" I said and walk over to a large box.

When I opened it I got a shock and Tony came to me in matter of seconds "What is it?" he asked me and I just looked down in the box.

"I found our marine" I answered him and opened the box again and even Tony got a shook and then McGee came over.

"Why are you two so still?" McGee asked us and, we both turned to him.

"You don't want to know" I said to him.

"Why, not?" he asked back.

"Because it is not that pretty" Tony said to him.

"Why are you two acting like this?" McGee got more and more confused.

"Because Ziva found our dead marine and it is not pretty" Tony answered McGee back.

"I go get Gibbs" I told Tony and McGee and then I left the attic to get Gibbs.

When I got down the stairs I couldn't see Gibbs or Ducky but I could here Palmer so I walk after the voice. I followed the voice all the way down to the kitchen where I saw Palmer band to a chair and I walk strait to him "Who did this to you?" I asked him while I was trying to get him free.

"I don't know I was just getting something to drink but when I turned to get a glass I was hit down" he answered me and looked really scared.

When he was free he walked me to the room Gibbs and Ducky were in.

"What happened to you, you left ten minutes ago?" Ducky asked Palmer and Palmer were just looked at him.

"I found him in the kitchen band to a chair" I told Ducky and Gibbs turned towards me.

"Have you found something since you isn't on attic anymore with Tony and McGee" he asked me with his old Gibbs look.

"Yes I found the dead marine he was in a box in the attic" I told him with a very small smile.

"Okay you lead the way to the dead marine then" he said and I started to walk out the door and to the stairs. When we got to the attic Tony and McGee still stood right beside the large box where the marine was in.

"Well you two have an odd look on your faces" Gibbs said and looked to Ducky who was on his way to the box to se the body.

When Ducky looked in to see the marine he was starting to be scared "This marine was not just killed he was tutored badly" Ducky told us with a sad look on his face as he turned back to the body in the box.

"Can one of your please help me get him out of the box?" Ducky asked as he looked at them.

"Yes I will help you" I told Ducky and when to the box to help him get the dead marine out of it.

We got the marine out of the box and placed him on the floor as Ducky started to exam the body.
