AN: Hey, y'all. Here's the first of chapter of Detective Ethan Reed In Search Of Killing Evil. I wanted to try writing something different. This is also my very first NCIS fanfic. I enjoyed writing this first chapter.

Now on with the story.

Detective Ethen Reed kept his gun and flashlight up as he carefully eased himself into the darkened building alongside NCIS Special Agents Tim McGee and Jessica Knight. They were with him because Red Mamba's latest victims were two Navy sailors. Red Mamba also kidnapped a kid of one of the dead Navy Sailors. Ethan had met McGee and Knight at the crime scene the day before. He really didn't mind the backup.

The three of them were looking for a serial killer in an abandoned high school. He had spent the last six years trying to catch him with no such luck while the killer's body count continued to rise over the years. Which was currently well over seventy. Ethan was going to either arrest him or kill him. He didn't which he was going to do.

The killer was known by a moniker and not his real name; Red Mamba. He was called that because his outfit had been described to be made of actual snakeskin dyed with real blood from his victims and how he used snake venom to slowly kill people. Red Mamba also wore a mask and had contact lenses that gave him a more snakelike appearance, according to those who met him and lived to tell the tale. He was caught on surveillance cameras the police managed to get a hold of some months ago.

Ethan finally got a lead from a young woman who survived his last killing spree. And that's why he was in the middle of nowhere at one in the morning in a high school that hadn't been used for at least twenty years. This killer was a fucking monster that needed to be eradicated from the face of the earth once and for all before he could hurt anyone else. Ethan planned on doing that very thing.

"So, Ethan, have you ever found out who this Red Mamba guy is? Or any clues to his true identity?" Tim asked. He thought the case was pretty interesting. It reminded him a bit of Jack The Ripper. Both people were insane killers.

"There was a guy who I thought might have been the killer, but he's dead now. His name was Branson Reeves, he was my prime suspect until he went missing and was declared dead three years ago. I have no idea who he is. But I'll unmask him after we finally catch him." Ethan replied. This was the one case he couldn't solve. Up to now anyway. And he solved a lot of cases too.

"I saw that in the case file when I read it yesterday. There was no body, but enough blood on his living room floor that he had to be dead. Cases like that are a pain in the ass, that's for sure. We're here now though. He won't get away this time." Jessica said. She just wanted to help Ethan catch the bad guy. Jessica hated when people like that got away.

"Yep. What sucked is that all of the evidence we had against him back then was circumstantial and I couldn't prove any of it. I'm just glad that Grace Harrison came forward to help us. If she hadn't remembered what she did, we wouldn't have found this place. After this is over with, I'll make sure she gets the help she deserves." Ethan replied. It was pitch black, except for the flashlights that he and the other two had with them. When he stopped short in front of a door to a classroom after hearing noises coming from inside, he quietly pushed it open, walking into the room.

There was nothing in the room, except for school desks, which were knocked over everywhere. McGee and Knight followed Ethan inside. As he pointed his flashlight towards the teacher's desk, he saw someone on the floor. Ethan ran to the body, flipping them over, only to scream as a needle was jammed into his neck. He looked behind him to see that McGee and Knight were both unconscious.

"Fuck you, motherfucker." Ethan growled. The last thing he saw before he passed out was a man dressed in red. The Red Mamba. If he and his new friends managed to somehow survive, he would kill the fucker. And seconds later, all he could see was utter blackness.

Ethan slowly woke up. He was pretty fucking groggy from whatever he was injected with earlier to knock him out. When he was able to, he glanced over to his side and he was surprised that McGee and Knight were alive. Although they looked like their asses got kicked and tied up with rope in their chairs, just like Ethan himself was.

"Ah, I see that you finally decided to join us in the land of the living, Detective Reed. Don't worry, I won't be killing any of you right now. I still need you three alive. I know that you got your backup coming soon. So I'll wait until they show up to do something. I do have a plan that will blow your minds." The Red Mamba said. He laughed as he walked away to a nearby table, hovering his hands over several tools he usually used to torture his victims with. He was going to have hell of a lot of fun with the cops he just captured.

AN2: And that's the end of the first of chapter of Detective Ethan Reed In Search Of Killing Evil. I promise that I will have the second chapter written and updated soon, along with my other current fanfics. I just don't know when that will be.

I'm so fucking sorry that I haven't written anything new or even updated my current fanfics in a while. My previous was fucking up and it wasn't charging right, so I had to get a new phone. I also had my 32nd birthday & I was very busy celebrating that late last month.

Thank all of y'all for reading, reviewing, favoriting, and following all of my fanfics. As always please read and review. Until next time.
