A/N Thanks for all the story alerts and reviews.
Tyshuman- your point is noted. I live in England so I just wrote the first place that popped into my head. Hopefully you can just ignore that little mistake and any other mistakes I make about America Thanks for telling me though.
I'm giving you another chapter because it's Sunday and I have lots of hockey for the next few weeks so I probably won't update for a while. Anyway hope you like.
Tony woke up 10 minutes before they reached the crime scene. He sat up and rubbed his eyes, vague snippets of everything he had told Gibbs were slowly coming clear. He groaned feeling embarrassed about what he had told Gibbs. Boss is going to think I can't handle the case. I better stay out of his way for now. I don't want to have that talk he mentioned. He began to listen to Ziva and McGee in the back of the car risking glances at Gibbs to see if he would say anything about their earlier conversation.
"I give up. I can't see anything that begins with K" McGee sounded exasperated.
Ziva smirked "HA! I knew you couldn't beat me at eye see. Never take on an ex-Mossad agent"
"It's eye spy Ziva. Anyway what was it?"
"Knife" Ziva sounded smug.
"Would you like to tell me where this so called knife is Ziva?"
"Strapped to my thigh, let's play again." Ziva sounded like an overexcited child.
"What? You can't see it." McGee thought he had actually explained the rules quite well but it was clear Ziva was still confused.
"Yes, but I know it's there." Ziva looked triumphant.
McGee went to argue his point but caught the look Gibbs was giving him in the mirror and sat back hastily. Tony turned around with a big smile on his face.
"Maybe you need glasses McFourEyes."
"Shut up Tony."
It was quite from there up until they arrived at the crime scene. Police cars were parked just off the freeway and the area was closed off causing curiosity from the passing cars. When Gibbs pulled the car to a stop Tony slipped out and followed a step behind Gibbs to who looked like the lead detective. Ziva and McGee followed a step behind Tony.
"You must be NCIS. Agent Gibbs I presume. I'm detective Connors." A tall muscular man shook Gibbs' hand. Tony thought he looked like a skinnier version of Super Mario, with his moustache that was perfectly even. He had sharp defined features which intimidated Tony slightly.
"These are my team Agents Dinozzo and McGee and Officer David." Gibbs gestured to each of them. "What have you got?"
"Two dead marines, one male one female. John Does for now. They were found by a couple who broke down about a mile back. They are sat in the car over there." He gestured behind him. "We were actually hoping you could take over because we have a triple homicide in the city and we gonna need everyone for this."
Gibbs just nodded and the officers got in the cars and drove away. One stayed to escort the witnesses back to the station. Gibbs looked over to his team to give them orders but already saw Tony taking witness statements, McGee 'bag and tagging' and Ziva sketching and shooting. Gibbs wandered over to the body and saw to bullet holes in each of the victim's chests.
"Hey boss, witnesses didn't see much. The man said he saw a guy driving away from the crime scene but he didn't get the plate or the car model."
"Okay. Did you remember to tell Ducky to meet us here?"
"Yes boss, I rang Palmer when we left headquarters."
Just as Tony finished he sentence Donald Mallard and Jimmy Palmer pulled up in an NCIS van. Ducky was rambling about this body he autopsied back in the UK and Palmer looked bored out of his mind. Tony smiled at Ducky; he viewed the man as a substitute grandfather.
"Ah hello Jethro, Anthony." Ducky smiled his greeting and then walked over to view the dead bodies.
Palmer struggled behind, arms full of equipment. He dumped them all beside his mentor and watched him work while preparing the gurney.
"TOD Duck?" Gibbs asked as Ziva and McGee finished what they were doing.
"I'd say about three to four hours ago. Cause of death is quite clear double gunshot wound to the heart. Didn't survive for more than a minute at most."
"Let's get this evidence back to NCIS." Gibbs said already climbing into the driver's seat of the car.
Much to everyone's surprise Tony sat in the backseat without a word but Ziva and McGee thought nothing of it, fighting for the front seat. Ziva inevitably won and smugly sat in the front seat while McGee sulked in the back. Gibbs drove of pondering the strange behaviour of his senior field agent and how badly his personal life is getting to him.
So tell me what you think. I don't like this chapter. I think I rambled and I am going to apologize again for any words that aren't used in America. I proof read but I'm still not convinced. And sorry about the whole Georgia thing :/
