A young girl walked slowly down the dark street, her hands tucked into her pockets. A few lamps flickered in the dark casting threatening shadows on the brick walls, but it didn't bother the girl. She was about sixteen with brown hair that flowed down her shoulders and unforgettable blue eyes. People that knew her would describe her as beautiful yet odd, which was totally true. She was very different.

As she rounded the corner of the street, she sighed at the sight before her. For as long as she could remember, she had been an orphan. She'd lived in the same orphanage for all her life, and she didn't like it much. Not that the people there were mean or anything. She had just seen too many people come and go from that place. It was very emotional sometimes.

She shrugged and slowed her steps towards the orphanage. Suddenly, three gunshots rang out through the nightly silence. Anyone else would have screamed and ran, but not her. She was not "anyone else."

She quietly sneaked over to the source of the noise. She stifled a gasp at the sight before her. A young man lay dead on the ground, his chest bearing three bullet holes. She covered her mouth in horror as blood seeped out of the dead man's wounds. Four men stood in the alleyway. One of them was holding a still smoking gun.

"That should shut him up." laughed one. The man with the gun nodded.

"Yeah, but what about her?" questioned the third man.

It took a second for the young girl to realize that they were speaking of her. She gasped and stood up, preparing to run.

"HEY!" yelled the man with the gun. He held it up threateningly. Obviously, he had expected her to be petrified with fear like a normal kid would have…but she wasn't that normal kid.

In the blink of an eye, she had taken off towards the orphanage at top speed. Her heart pounded in her chest, and adrenaline pumped through her body as she ran faster and faster. Her legs ached as did her lungs, but she did not stop.

"Stop!" yelled one of the men. She didn't stop. The girl expected to hear the sound of a gunshot and the sting of a bullet, but it never came. Instead, she made it safely into the doors of the orphanage.

Quickly, she locked the door behind her and ran upstairs.

"No one's awake!" she whispered to herself, but maybe that was a good thing. She didn't want to get the others involved... but, then again, she did know someone who would want to know.

She ran upstairs and into her room. She pulled the blinds on her window down and grabbed her cell off the table. She pressed down on the number three button. The phone recognized the code and dialed the number. The phone began to ring.

"Come on. Come on!" she pleaded as the phone rang again. Finally, someone picked up.

"Gibbs."

The elevators of the NCIS building opened with a ding allowing Agent Anthony DiNozzo to step out. In his hands, he held a cup of coffee. He smiled to himself as he remembered a conversation that he and Ducky had about Tony being much like Gibbs used to be, and how Ducky was sure Tony would be like Gibbs one day. Tony almost laughed as he saw the cup in his hand. He really was turning into Gibbs.

His smile widened as he saw Ziva sitting at her desk typing away. He slyly leaned over onto her desk and smiled. She glanced up at a smirking Tony.

"What?" she snapped.

Tony's grin widened even more. "Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if you had a nice time with your date last night."

Ziva rolled her eyes. "Quit beating around the tree, Tony."

"Around the bush."

"What?"

"The expression is, 'Quit beating around the bush,' not tree." Tony corrected.

"Oh."

"And I'm not." he continued with a smirk. "I just wanted to know."

"Know what?" Agent Magee interrupted. He had just walked in. Tony frowned and turned to look at "Pro-b" walking to his desk.

"It's not nice to eavesdrop, 'Pro-b'." Tony snapped.

"Oh, but that was exactly what you were doing last night, Tony. Practice what you tell."

"Uh, Ziva, I believe it's 'Practice what you preach'." Magee corrected.

"Thank-you." she said before turning back to Tony.

"No problem, and what are you two talking about?" Magee went on.

Ziva sighed and rolled her eyes. Tony just smiled.

"If you really must know, I was on a blind date last night."

"And-" Tony smiled.

"And it didn't go so well." Ziva finished. She shot Tony an evil look. Tony shrugged it off.

"Yeah, if you define 'didn't go so well' as sending your date home with a broken nose." he laughed. Tony slipped into his desk and leaned back comfortably. He put his hands behind his head and smiled in triumph.

"Why'd you break his nose?" Magee asked, curiosity getting the best of him. He wasn't really sure if he wanted to know, but Tony had gotten him way to curious to stop.

"The man in question tried to," Ziva paused and looked over at a still smirking Tony. "put his hand up my skirt." she finished quickly.

Magee blinked in disbelief. Obviously, this guy was on the stupid side of things. NO ONE messed with Ziva and got away with it.

He looked over at Tony who let out a low chuckle. Ziva stalked over towards his desk, an evil grin on her face. Tony became uneasy. That grin always meant trouble...especially if it was directed towards him.

"And how did your date go?" she smirked. It was her turn to watch Tony squirm. The agent got out of his comfortable position and glared at Ziva.

"Never speak of that. Ever." he growled. Ziva smiled and began to walk away. Magee stood up.

"What happened?" he asked as he came up to Ziva.

"He went out with the FBI girl again,"

"Ziva, no."

"And came back with more water spilled onto his pants. This time it was his fault." she laughed.

It was Magee's turn to smirk.

"Losing your touch, Tony?" he joked.

Tony glared at him and Ziva. He pointed an accusing finger at Ziva.

"I won't speak of your dating troubles if you don't speak of mine."

Ziva extended her hand to her partner. "Deal."

The two shook hands and began to start up another conversation…that was, until a coffee carrying Gibbs came out of the elevators. The three agents scrambled back to their desks and sat.

Their boss walked past the three of them as if they were not even there. The team stared at him. He looked rather serious this morning…well, more serious than normal.

"Uh, morning, Boss." came Tony's voice. Gibbs didn't even glance his way. Instead, he snatched up the telephone and dialed someone's number. His brow furrowed in concentration. The three team members silently slipped over to his desk.

"Yeah, it's Gibbs! Who else would be calling you from NCIS!" he snapped. Someone had, unfortunately for them, picked up the phone.

"Quit the pleasantries!" Gibbs growled. "Is she almost here?--What do you mean you just got there! She was supposed to be here by now!"

The team leaned in closer. Gibbs sighed in frustration. His knuckles were white from gripping the phone so hard.

"Fine. Call me when you're twenty minutes away. If anything happens to her on the way here, you better hope I don't find you first." he growled as he slammed the phone down. He looked up at his curious-eyed team.

"What!?" he snapped.

The three jumped at the Boss's tone.

"R-rough night?"

Dinozzo immediately regretted saying that as a hand found it's way onto the back of his head. Gibbs stood up and began walking towards the elevators.

"I'll take that as a yes." Tony mumbled.

"You three with me!" Gibbs yelled.

Tony glanced down at the desk as the other two agents took off. Gibbs didn't take his coffee.

"Oh, boy." he sighed before grabbing the coffee off the desk and catching up with the others.

This was not going to be a normal day.
