A/N-I don't own NCIS

Jimmy stepped out of the building after class, and turned on his phone.

He saw that he had one text from about five minutes ago informing him of a dead seaman. He headed toward the student lot where his car was parked. His intention was to drive strait to the crime scene from campus.

When he got to his car, however, he saw that several men from his class were leaning against it, the leader of their little gang sitting on the hood. He gulped, but approached, saying, "Excuse me, but I need to leave."

The leader smirked, "Where you off to Jimmy?"

Jimmy tried to keep his answer neutral, "I got called in to work."

The leader of the gang was unimpressed by his answer, saying, "I'm sure they don't need a wimp like you. Besides, you and I need to have a little chat."

Jimmy gulped but held his ground. Dr. Mallard needed him, right? "We can talk later, but a seaman just died."

The leader grinned, "Just now?"

Jimmy bit his lip, "Well they just found the body. Dr. Mallard's probably taking liver temp to determine time of death right now, but he'll need my help to move the body."

The leader grunted, "Too bad. We're having a chat." With that, he signaled two of his friends who darted out and grabbed Jimmy. The students had dispersed, leaving the parking lot deserted, but the gang took no chances, dragging Jimmy to a secluded area behind one of the class buildings.

Once they got there the two bigger guys shoved Jimmy up with his back to the wall. The leader leaned into his personal space and said, "Hey Jimmy, how come you stood me up in class today?"

Jimmy gulped, "I didn't stand you up."

"You told the whole class that what I said was wrong!" he practically screamed furiously.

Jimmy bit his lip, "Because it was." The two cronies pushed him harder against the wall, "I guess I didn't have to announce that to the class."

The leader snorted, "Damn right you didn't."

Jimmy tried to focus on breathing, "It just slipped out, I swear. Maybe there's some way I could make it up to you?" he asked hopefully.

The leader grinned, "Oh, now you want to make it up."

Jimmy closed his eyes, "I didn't realize how much it would offend you."

The leader snorted, "You're all talk. You think you're smarter than me? I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget." With that, he started punching Jimmy repeatedly. Jimmy was still pinned to the wall and couldn't even try to fight back as the onslaught of blows rained down on him.
