Chapter 2
"Boss, I'm getting hungry, can we go now?" Tony asks.
Gibbs looks at his watch, and tilts his head. "Yeah, I suppose so. I want you to finish that when we-"
*Ring! Ring!*
Gibbs' phone rings. "Gibbs." He says answering the phone. "Alright, thanks." Gibbs puts his phone away, and grabs his gear. "We're going to have to pick up lunch. Dead Marine in Rock Creek National Park."
"I guess I'll see you guys later." Abby says as the team is leaving.
They get into the elevator, and Ziva notices something a little strange. "Why does it feel different in here?" Ziva asks.
"I think that may because of me." The new, twenty year old, Italian agent says.
Everyone turns around to see the new agent looking all innocent. "So you're the new agent?" Gibbs asks.
"Yeah. Seeing that you don't look too happy to see me, I'm guessing you're Gibbs."
"Yeah, and that would make you correct." Gibbs answers. They step out of the elevator, and Gibbs is already heading towards the car.
"You must be Ziva David."
"Wow, Vance must have really talked to you. You actually got my name right." Ziva chuckles.
"Hi." Tony swoops in. "I'm Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo."
"DiNozzo!" Gibbs shouts from ahead.
"So you're Italian too." The woman smiles. "Cool."
"May I ask, what is your name?" Ziva asks.
"Clarissa Marsicano."
Tony stops all of a sudden. Marsicano. He thinks.
"Clarissa, go meet up with Gibbs." Ziva tells her. Ziva goes back by Tony. "Are you alright Tony?" Ziva asks.
"Yeah." Tony starts walking again. "A thought had come to mind."
"Yeah?" Ziva follows him. "Gibbs told you to stay away from her."
"I know. It wasn't a thought about that. It was…just nothing." DiNozzo shook his head.
"Agent Gibbs, I can see you do not want me welcome here, and I understand that. If we want me to go now, I'll go and talk to Vance." Clarissa says.
"No. I'm just not used to change. Come on, you're riding with me." Gibbs says as he reaches the team car.
"DiNozzo, sketch. Ziver, take pictures." Gibbs walks over to McGee. "Who do we got?"
"Petty Officer Third Class, Joshua Mann. 36, no kids, no spouse." McGee answers.
"Ducky, time of death."
"Approximately three to four hours." Ducky stands up. "Cause of death is still undetermined. There are no marks anywhere." He adds.
"Agent Gibbs, is there anything you want me to do?" Clarissa asks.
"Yeah. Observe Agents DiNozzo and David." Gibbs points.
Clarissa walks over to them, to see them talking. "You guys sure are working hard."
"For your information, we're talking about the dead guy. You see this here?" Tony bends down. "Foot prints. They're huge. Not everybody has big feet like this." Tony stands back up.
"That's not what I heard you two speaking of." Clarissa gives a devious smile.
"Oh yeah? Then what was it that we were speaking of?" Tony asks.
"Me." Clarissa answers. "I can tell that you guys don't enjoy my visit. I know Gibbs definitely doesn't." Clarissa glances at Gibbs.
"Gibbs has had us as a team for nearly seven years now. He does not like to change it." Ziva answers. "I know it took him some getting used to when I joined."
"Yeah, but that was because he recently lost an agent, who your half-brother killed, and you are Mossad."
"Was." Ziva corrects her. "I am not part of Mossad anymore. I am NCIS now, and that's the way it's going to say. Now, how do you know so much about our past?"
"I uh, Vance filled me in. Told me what has happened, and where you guys might be sensible." She answers. "I must have heard him wrong about the Mossad."
"Hmm." Ziva says, ands walks over by Gibbs.
"Look, Ziva does not like to talk about her past, especially with the whole Mossad thing. She is no longer Mossad, and doesn't want to be." DiNozzo tells her.
"I'm sorry. I should have just kept the information to myself. Now, my turn for a question; why were you guys talking about me?"
"What makes you think that?" DiNozzo answers in question.
"Because Tony, I heard you say my last name." Clarissa leans, and crosses her arms. "So why?"
"I once took a trip to Italy, and the name 'Marsicano' brought flashbacks. But I don't remember that name at all." DiNozzo answers.
"Oh." Clarissa walks away, and Ziva walks back to Tony.
"Did you tell her?" Ziva asks.
"Yeah."
"What did she say?"
"She just said 'oh.' then walked back over there." Tony answers. "Please don't be angry with her. She's already not in favor of Gibbs."
"I will be fine. I'm just not entirely sure how she knows all of that. Why would Vance need to tell somebody the history of our team?"
"I don't know. But let's get back to the case."
