(AN) Alright, now here we have my next NCIS story Granting Immunity, named after the Law and Order SVU Season 16 episode of the same name. Yep! we're doing another fanfic dealing with Anti-Vaxers, so I hope you all enjoy and remember to Read and Review.

Now I know what you're all thinking, But TimeLordMaster108 didn't you already do this kind of story? True I did do Outbreak! but looking back and really analysing it, the Anti-Vax group was more of a backdrop to a murder mystery and Thomas Jackson being a jealous psychopath, this story puts the issue front and centre, so no murder mystery, ... sort of, no psychopath looking for revenge, it's just the team vs nti-Vaxers.

But before we begin a strong word of advice. Any reviews promoting an Anti-Vax agenda or defending Andrew Wakefield will be swiftly reported or deleted, this is your only warning, your dangerous views are not welcome here and will not be tolerated, is that understood?

Disclaimer, I don't own NCIS. All characters and locations are owned by CBS Television and Paramount Pictures.

NCIS: Granting Immunity

Prologue

Uganda was such a beautiful part of Eastern Africa, the sun shone brightly, the sea glistened and it was a great holiday destination for families abroad, this was particularly true for one family, Navy Lieutenant Stacy Parker who had managed to book a lovely holiday for her, her husband Ross and their twelve year old son Max. Stacy was tall and had long blonde hair, Ross had short brown hair and Max who had short brown hair too. The family had been in Uganda for two weeks and now it would soon be time for them to head back to Washington D.C.

while at the airport Max bumped straight into a tall, middle-aged African American man with dark hair.

"Max Parker how many times have we told you not to run like that!" cried Stacy in exasperation before looking at the man, "I'm so sorry sir."

"That's quite alright," replied the man who chuckled before violently coughing, "The name's Leon by the way, Leon Bambera."

"It's nice meeting you," said Stacy, "We're just heading back to Washington."

"Sounds great," said the man before violently coughing again, "Ohhh, excuse my manners. I haven't been feeling the best, bad cough, runny nose and a head cold."

"Oh my!" exclaimed Ross in concern, "Well I hope you get better soon."

The group then parted ways and after a long plane journey the family returned to Washington.

Fourteen Days Later

Upon waking up one morning, Max didn't feel right. He felt slightly sluggish and was coughing and sneezing a lot with a runny nose.

"You alright there Mighty Max?" asked Stacy in slight concern as the family were eating breakfast.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." assured Max.

"Alright then if you're sure." replied Stacy.

And so Max was sent to school where his coughing and sneezing didn't improve, but he played with his friends and didn't let it bother him. Later on he and his best friend Emma Daly were sat together on a bench while he continued to violently cough and sneeze at random.

"Hay Max, you feeling okay?" asked Emma in concern.

"Not really," replied Max, "I've been coughing and sneezing like crazy and now I'm starting to get a head cold, and I'm feeling warm and my eyes are a bit itchy."

Emma then lightly placed her hand on Max's forehead and gasped, "Oh my!" she exclaimed, "I think you're getting a low fever. I had one once, not pleasant."

"You think I should go to the school nurse?" asked her friend.

"Absolutely." replied Emma.

Max went to the school nurse and was sent home, Emma hoped that her friend would get better but unbeknownst to her things would eventually get much worse.

(AN) well there's your prologue. I hope you all enjoyed and remember to Read and Review.

This is meant to be nice and short, and it'll set up the story nicely.

So in the next chapter Team Gibbs make their appearance and investigate what seems like a murder.

Until the next time, this is TimeLordMaster108 signing out.
