A/N: Okay I'm going to try a plague story. I've done a little research, but I may be off on some spots so please forgive me for that.

It started with just a little cough and nothing to be really concerned about. Tony walked into the bullpen not feeling at his best, but wasn't going to let anyone know.

Ziva was on assignment in Israel for the next couple weeks so it was just him, Gibbs, and Probie.

Tony started his computer and got ready to start going over old reports that had been sitting on this desk for weeks when McGee walked in.

"Hey Tony" Tim said as he sat at this computer getting ready for the day.

"Hey Mc-" before Tony could finish he started to cough. Tim looked at Tony with a raised eyebrow.

"You okay?" Tim asked as he stood up and walked over to Tony's desk.

Tony shooed him away "I'm fine McGoo, just got a little headache that is all."

Gibbs walked in to see Tony with an aggregated look on his face and Tim with a concerned one.

"What's going on?" Gibbs asked with his ever present cup of coffee.

"Tony is coughing." Tim said with a look to Gibbs.

Gibbs had to school his features. Tony coughing was not that big of a deal as long as it didn't…

Before Gibbs could finish that thought Tony started coughing again this cough shook his whole body and looked to cause Tony pain. Tony looked up to Gibbs and smiled the smile that see-I-fine.

"Tony, get to Ducky NOW!"

"But Boss, I feel fine" Tony said.

"Tony I'm not going to argue with you go now!" Gibbs said picking up the phone. "Duck I'm sending Dinozzo to you. Yeah, he doesn't sound too good."

Tony rolled his eyes as he stood up slowly and walked to the elevator. Once inside he hit the number of autopsy starting to think that he really didn't feel so good.

Tony walked in to see Ducky ready for him with his bag up on one of the tables that was covered in a sheet.

"Have a seat my dear boy" Ducky said patting the table for Tony to sit.

Rolling his eyes once more Tony slowly go up the table and started to cough.

Ducky watched him very closely and did not like what he saw. "How long have you been feeling like this Tony?"

"A couple days, since we went to that crime scene in the woods and got stuck in the downpour, but it is just a cold or something. No need for Gibbs to go all Papa Bear as Abby would put it."

"Really" Gibbs said as he walked into the room.

Tony figured it would be best not to comment.

"What wrong with him Duck?" Gibbs asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

"I'm not sure yet Jethro I just got him"

"Okay could you guys not talk about me like I'm corpse?"

Ducky started by feeling Tony's lymph nods when he touched them Tony pulled back. Duck kept going listening to his heart which sounded good then went to his lungs. He spent more time there than Tony was happy with.

Ducky turned around and walked right to the phone and dialed a number.

"Ducky?" Gibbs asked.

Ducky paid them no attention and listened while the other line rang.

"Hello?"

"Dr. Pitt, we have a problem"
