Even though McGee was typing away, he stole looks at the sleeping Tony. Tim always knew when Tony was fake sleeping, because when really asleep Tony doesn't snore. And usually it came in handy when he's walking by Tony's desk. That way when said Italian tried to scare him he wouldn't be surprised, just a little annoyed. He loved when Tony was really asleep though, because that was the only time that the Italian was peaceful in sounds and in the person. Tony's eyes, no matter how big the smile on his face, always had a little bit of sadness and fear and McGee could never figure out why. McGee then looked over at Ziva who was talking quietly and softly on the phone. Her behavior made McGee curious and when Ziva got off the phone he walked over, careful not to wake the sleeping Tony.
"Who was that? Do we have a case?" He asked.
"We do have a case, but it's kind of weird. That was Petty Officer Johnson. He found one of his bunkmates dead."
"Well that sounds normal. Well you know, as normal as it gets around here"
"The weird part is there are no physical wounds on the body and the officer's a healthy 24 year old. So they have no idea how or when he died."
"Sounds like a case Ducky would like. We better get Gibbs then." McGee said.
"get me for what." Answered Gibbs as he walked into the bullpen.
"We have a case. and its a weird one." Ziva answered as she handed the file, that was just faxed in, to her boss, "Apparently the petty officer has no wounds and his health is perfect there is no reason he should have died. The only reason why they called us is because they found a gold pendant with that said 'Gibbs' in Arabic writing."
Gibbs read through the file quickly and cursed. This was Alaister's way of calling him out. He saw this when he was still in the service, when it was his commanding officer that Alaister was calling out. Alaister would kill one of the target's allies, with some sort of poison that didn't show up in the any of the tests and the body would always have a gold pendant with the target's name engraved on it in Arabic.
"So that means that there's someone after you doesn't it boss?" Asked Tony, who had woken up just in time to hear Ziva inform Gibbs about the case.
"It certainly seems like it doesn't it?" Ziva said as she sat back down in her chair.
"Do you want to take the case boss?" McGee asked as he crossed his arms and looked at his boss.
"I haven't turned down a case so far and this one is no exception." Gibbs answered as he went over to his desk and grabbed his gun. " I'm only taking one of you with me to ask questions. I can not risk having all of you there at once seeing as he will probably go after the people that he thinks are close t me."
"But how is the dead marine close to you?" McGee asked as he sat down in front of his desk.
"That was probably to get my attention. I know how terrorists work." The former marine said as he put his gun in the holster. "DiNozzo you're coming with me. Ziva, you contact Ducky, and you and him come meet us." He said as he walked out of the bullpen and into the elevator, with Tony, who was trying to get his back pack onto his back, stumbling into the elevator just before it closed. Ziva looked at McGee and cocked her head to the side a little.
"Is it just me or has he been working Tony hard lately?" She asked as she sat down at her desk and picked up the phone to dial the morgue.
"Actually ya he has been working him hard, I mean Tony has had bigger bags under his eyes than usual." he said as he typed away on his computer as Ziva informed Ducky on what was going on.
