PREVIOUSLY ON NCIS

"I don't care. Zi, if you give me, give us a chance, I don't care. We can make it through anything. Please." Tony said desperately.

Before she could say anything, he brought his lips to her.

They both thought this is home. This is where I want to be.

REGULAR POV

Tony and Ziva stayed cuddled up together in front of the fire until the coldness of the night cut through the warmth of the fire.

After putting out the fire, they then cuddled underneath the branches that were there to hide them until morning.

AIRWAY MOTEL

The uninjured man made his way back into the room with medical supplies in hand. Jerome was setting on a chair, still bleeding, and watching TV.

"Here, fix yourself up. I'm going to take a shower." The uninjured man said tossing the bag of supplies to the other guy.

"Go figure I would have to do it myself." Jerome growled getting the supplies out of the bag after his partner closed himself in the bathroom

Jerome carefully and painfully cleaned the area and patched it since it was only a deep graze. He used as little as he could so he could save the rest of the supplies for later just in case he needed them.

He finished just in time for his partner to come out of the shower.

His partner tossed a bottle of Aleve. "Take some; it will help with the pain."

"Ok. I'm going to get cleaned up." He said and disappeared into the bathroom with the bottle of Aleve.

After Jerome came out of the bathroom, he sat down on the other bed.

His partner spoke up, "We need a plan of action. I talked to the Boss, he is NOT happy."

"They won't be traveling tonight." Jerome stated matter-of-factly. "They had an early morning and then a car crash."

"You are right." His partner said. Pulling out a map, he continued and pointed to a spot between the State Police headquarters and where they crashed, "I think we should start here."

"Good idea." Jerome said and then stretched out under the covers. "I'm going to sleep."

"I'm going to watch some TV and then go to bed." His partner said while thinking what all he was going to do to the pretty female agent.

VET OFFICE

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A young woman who works as the receptionist walks into the vet's office. She sees all the blood and the three dead bodies of her boss and co-workers.

Numbly, she runs outside and throws up. After regaining herself, she calls 911 to report the murders. She is told to wait and sinks down on the grass outside. She is still shaking and crying when the police show up.

Sergeant William Ball squatted in front of the woman to put them on the same level. "Ma'am. Can you tell me what happened?"

"I.I walked into the office before we opened, like always. I smelled something off. I looked up and that's when I saw the blood and…and…my friends." With that, she started crying again.

"Thank you. Please stay here." Sergeant Ball said and stood up. He went over to his men and talked to them. He brought a young, green officer over to the woman. "Ma'am, this is Officer Derek Staples. I'm going to have him get your contact information and then drive you home. If you remember anything else or need to get in contact with me, here is my card."

"Th-Thank you." She said as she took the card and was led to a cruiser by Officer Staples.

"Ok men, let's figure out what happened." Sergeant Ball stated and then started giving out orders to his men.

NCIS

Gibbs always arrived before anyone else. Some thought he worked and slept at NCIS. He didn't mind the rumors; it made everyone fear him a little more. He had been blown up, shot at, and much more, plus, killed people, so yeah, people were afraid to get on his bad side.

Before going to the bullpen, Gibbs made a detour to Abby's lab. She always got worked up and upset when one of her family members got hurt or was missing. But Gibbs knew how to make her happy until that family member came back home.

After he left Abby's surprise to where she would find it, he went to get his strong black coffee, to support his addiction, and then head to his desk to work on the current case.

When he finally made it to the bullpen, McGee was already hard at work completing the tasks from the previous day which was finding out the information about that car and its drivers from Tony.

He strode into the bullpen and before he could say, "Whaddya got, McGee," the elevator doors opened and a flash of black streak through and jumped on Gibbs.

"Hello to you too, Abby." Gibbs said and kissed her temple as he hugged her back.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you SO much Gibbs!" Abby said bouncing around. "I love the balloons, and the black roses with red tips, and of course, my Calf-Pow!" And with one more bone crushing hug, she was gone as fast as she appeared. She did, however, make a stop to give McGee a bone crushing hug as well.

After Abby left, Gibbs looked at McGee and said, "Whaddya got?"

McGee stood up, grabbed the remote, and walked up to where Gibbs stood with coffee in hand.

"The brown car is registered to Jerome White. He's 37, unemployed, and he has several things on his rap sheet from sexual assault to robbery to murder. According to the database, it is suspected that he is murder for hire." McGee said clicking through the slides for Gibbs to read.

"Good work, McGee." Gibbs said while heading towards the elevator. He paused, turned around, and said, "See what shows up in his financials and bank accounts. Set up a BOLO."

"On it, Boss." McGee said and sat down to start on his new assignments.

ABBY'S LAB

Gibbs stepped off into the lab, which was still eerily quiet, but now had music on low.

Gibbs snuck up behind Abby, leaned down to where he was right by her ear, and said "Whaddya got, Abbs?"

"GIBBS!" Abby yelled and jumped. "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

Gibbs chuckled and kissed Abby on the side of her head. "Sorry Abbs."

He held out another Calf-Pow! in his hands. She took it and said, "You are forgiven, my silver haired fox." She followed this with a bow, but looked up in time to see the ever so slight smirk on Gibbs' face

Abby took a big drink and gave him the news that all she had was a partial that didn't belong in the hotel room. It didn't belong to anyone that was a guest, or a witness, the victim, or any suspects so far. "I'm working on it Gibbs, but with a partial, sometimes it can take a while."

When Abby turned around, Gibbs had already made his Exit. While the computers and machines worked their magic, she went into her office, sat down, and drank her Calf-Pow! while looking at her flowers and her skull balloons.

BULLPEN

Gibbs made his way back to the bullpen. As soon as he sat down, McGee jumped up and yelled "BINGO!"

Gibbs looked at him like he lost his mind. McGee's face lit up with the exhilaration of the find.

"Boss, I got a hit on the car." McGee said walking to the plasma.
