I am so sorry I haven't updated this for so long. I swear the next one will be uploaded faster. I know I've said that every time but I mean it. Also, couldn't think of a witty insult for DiNozzo to call McGee so I went with McGeek.
Warning for corpse.
The agents in the car had been glaring at them, Donna noticed, the woman driving through the mirror and the better looking man kept shooting suspicious glances over his shoulder. As usual, the Doctor had seemed completely oblivious. He had just been grinning excitedly and pointing random things out on the streets outside. He'd still seemed excited, talking to trees and pointing his sonic screwdriver at anything that moved until they reached the crime scene.
As they both approached the body, Donna's already-fair skin paled. She was glad to notice that she wasn't the only one disgusted by the scene; the two male NCIS agents seemed shocked too although the woman had barely blinked. The body, or at least what was left of it, lay in the middle of the clearing but blood and smaller pieces of /body/ scattered the surrounding area, dying the thin grass red.
Donna finally tore her eyes away and saw the agents shoot even more suspicious looks at the Doctor as they took photos of the pieces of mangled corpse and the surrounding area. They obviously didn't trust him.
"How did you guys even identify him?" Gibbs said to the park ranger stood nervously in front of him.
"Drivers licence nailed to a tree over here, Boss" DiNozzo yelled.
"It just looked like an animal attack until we noticed that..." the young man said.
"They're making a statement." Gibbs said, turning. "Hey, Doc, what do you make of this?"
"Well..." The Doctor and Ducky said simultaneously.
The Doctor grinned despite the scene in front of him. "You first, Donald." He said, going to the other side of the clearing to examine the pieces of the body himself.
"The amount of blood suggests that our poor petty officer was still alive when they, who- or whatever 'they' were, dismembered him." Ducky glanced at the Doctor, who was still pointing his Sonic at the body. Donna was quietly thankful he hadn't tried to /taste/ it yet. She wouldn't be surprised if he did.
"Murderer wasn't human!" The Doctor shouted. "Not sure what it was though!"
"What...?" DiNozzo said, his bemusement reflecting the expressions of Ziva and McGee.
The Doctor wandered around, staring at the floor intently and Donna realised that the agents were all looking at him.
The Doctor span around a few times, pointing his screwdriver seemingly randomly. He stared at it, got out his glasses and stared again then suspiciously flicked the end a few times. "Actually, I don't think your petty officer was either."
"What do you mean, 'not human'?" Ziva said suspiciously. "Like a dog or something?"
The Doctor turned to Gibbs and tilted his head questioningly.
Gibbs nodded.
"Like an alien." The Doctor grinned.
DiNozzo laughed but then stopped abruptly at the serious look Gibbs flashed him. "Seriously, Boss? You believe this nut job?
"Yeah, DiNozzo."
DiNozzo seemed frozen for a second then grinned. "Hey, McGeek, did you hear that? Aliens!"
McGee stared at him and shook his head. "Boss, there's something wrong with this guy. We aren't seriously going to listen to him, are we?"
"Yeah, McGee."
"Hey, wait a minute," Donna interrupted. "You just saw a man materialise out of nothing in the middle of your office and you still don't believe there's aliens?"
"I'm open to the possibility but he was a naval officer! The chances of aliens looking exactly like humans... It's impossible!"
Donna and the Doctor exchanged amused looks.
"What's so funny?" Ziva said, looking at DiNozzo. The other agent shrugged.
"What he means, Miss David, is that our petty officer isn't the only extra-terrestrial here." Ducky interjected.
"You don't believe him too, do you?" DiNozzo said incredulously.
"Shut up." Gibbs said bluntly, making all three protesting agents stop talking. "The Doc will explain everything when we get back, get on with processing the crime scene!"
He was answered with two mutters of 'yes boss' and one nod as the agents went back to taking photos and dropping tiny pieces of hair in bags.
