Alternately Yours - Episode One Pt 2


Special Agent Tony DiNozzo was already at his desk as was Ziva David when Timothy McGee walked in. "Probalicious, you're starting to worry me."

"Why is that Tony?" McGee asked sitting down.

"Well for one I'm fairly certain if you turned sideways you'd disappear. Time to beef up; go to a gym. Autopsy Gremlin is packing more guns than you are." Tony smirked.

"Don't listen to him McGee, I think you look great." Ziva interjected

"Thank you Ziva." Tim smiled.

"Don't encourage the boy. I think this calls for a junk food diet. For the next week, you are eating nothing but pizza and Chinese food." Tony ordered.

"So you want me to eat like you?" McGee countered.

Tony's brow furrowed taking in what his partner had just said. "The Gremlin is beating you in the female category as well." He added.

"He's beating you both, DiNozzo." Gibbs stated as he swept in.

"Good point boss." Tony stated.

"Grab your gear, we have a dead Lance Corporal at an amusement park." Gibbs ordered.

"Body that people thought was part of the fun house until it started to smell?" Tony asked.

Gibbs ignored the question and proceeded to the elevator.

"What is that from some movie?" Ziva questioned.

Tony shook his head. "No. A reoccurring nightmare I had as a child."

"I don't even want to begin to fathom your childhood." McGee stated as they got into the elevator.


Gibbs took in the scene as Ziva, Tony, and McGee began processing evidence. Dr. Donald Mallard and his assistant Jimmy Palmer arrived late as per usual due to Jimmy's poor navigational skills.

"What do we have?" Dr. Mallard asked as he kneeled next to the car.

Ziva looked at her notepad and responded. "Lance Corporal Garret Lions; just returned from his second tour in Iraq."

"Do we have a time of death Ducky?" Gibbs asked

Dr. Mallard withdrew the liver thermometer. "I'd say about 6 hours but I'll know better once we get him out of this car and onto my table."

"Driving sure can kill huh." Jimmy stated earning him a scowl from both Ducky and Gibbs. "Sorry, bad joke."

By this time Tony had finished interviewing the ride operator. He walked over to an already impatient Gibbs. "Ride operator says she noticed nothing out of the norm today. Came in around 7 am did a quick inspection of the ride. Body was discovered when she went to get a car for a boy and his mom. Says she's never seen Lance Corporal Lions before."

"Boss, we got a shoe print over here. It's in an area where visitors aren't supposed to be and isn't the size of our victim or the worker." McGee stated.

"Take a mold for Abby." Gibbs ordered.

"Why would someone commit murder and then stash the body in such an obvious place?" Ziva asked.

"They wanted the body to be found?" McGee offered.

"They wanted to send a message." Gibbs stated.
