Shades of Black
A/N: This one is my first NCIS fanfic (but not my first fanfic), so please be kind! I actually have quite a few chapters of this written, but I have limited computer access due to my computer being eaten by viruses so updates WILL depend on the amount of interest I see (if I see that a lot of people are reading, I'll make special efforts to get to a computer more often!!) Oh, and this is VERY AU because I started it waaaayy before Semper Fi aired, so it doesn't follow the canon at all!
Disclaimer: who in their right mind would believe I own NCIS!?!?!?

It was a typical Monday morning with one glaring exception--Tony DiNozzo was actually on time, much to the amusement of his co-workers.
"Wow, I didn't know it was a blue moon," McGee quipped, grinning widely.
"Knock it off, Probie, I can be on time occasionally," Tony shot back.
"As occasionally as Abby comes to the office wearing a suit," Ziva chimed in, smiling mischievously.
"That will happen when and ONLY when hell freezes over!" Abby laughed, having come into the squadroom to see for herself that Tony was actually on time for once.
"Already happened, Abs. When the Eagles got back together," Gibbs said as he walked in. At Ziva's confused look, he continued, "No time to explain, we've got a dead Marine. Evidence should be in your lab by now, Abby. McGee can help."
"What about us, Boss?" Tony asked.
"You and Ziva with me in MTAC. We've got a conference with Deputy Director David," Gibbs said quietly.
"Why is Mossad involved?" Ziva asked as she stood, feeling a pang of dread at the mention of her father.
"Apparently our Marine had an Israeli wife and they have a child," Gibbs answered as the walked into MTAC.

As Gibbs, Tony and Ziva entered MTAC, the elevator doors opened to admit a young woman in black flanked by two armed guards. Silently the trio went up the stairs to MTAC.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skipping the customary pleasantries, Gibbs cut right to the chase. "Director David, what is happening here? Lieutenant Stewart was killed in Tel Aviv, correct? Why involve NCIS?"
"I will explain in a moment, Agent Gibbs," the Mossad director answered. "But we are waiting for one more person to join us before--"
He was interrupted by the doors to MTAC opening to admit the young woman who had entered the squadroom under guard. Everyone turned to face the newcomer as she walked slowly to join the small group assembled.
When Ziva got a look at her, she felt as if her heart had stopped.

Ok, I know it was really short, but I decided to leave it on a cliffhanger to see if anyone might possibly want to see more! Future chapters ARE much longer!!!
