"Grab your gear" Gibbs announced walking into the bullpen. He threw Ziva the car keys, grabbed his stuff and headed to the elevator. Ziva smirked at Tony, knowing he hates when she drives.

"Where we goin', Boss?" Tony asked quickly following Gibbs. Tony, Ziva and McGee joined their boss in the elevator before the doors closed.

"The beach, Dinozzo" Gibbs said as the elevator doors closed.

At a Washington DC beach…

"You are an American citizen Ziva; can't you learn to drive like one already?" Tony asked getting out of the previously speeding car.

"So you want me to drive drunk?" Ziva laughed. McGee shook his head and grabbed the bags. Tony glared at his partner and walked away.

The team walked up to the dead marine lying on the shore. The body was covered in a wet suit, from head to toe, mask to flipper.

"The body was found this morning by the woman over there while she was on a run. She noticed the body on the edge of the sand. When she saw the dog tags she immediately called NCIS." A local cop informed Gibbs.

"McGee, go" He ordered.

"Sure thing, Boss" Tim said dropping the bags. He walked over to the woman standing by the police cars. He ducted under the bright yellow caution tape and pulled out his note pad to get a statement.

Ducky and Palmer were talking about Palmers direction issues once again as taking their things to the dead marine.

Ducky kneeled down to check when the marine died.

"How long ago, Ducky?" Special Agent Gibbs asked.

"I estimate about a week, I won't know the cause of death until I get this wetsuit off of him back at the lab" Ducky said. He continued telling a story of something it reminded him of.

"Tony, what do you have?" The Boss asked.

"Well, I assume free diving or his oxygen tank was removed. The dog tags say Sergeant Alex Jones. His wetsuit and gear doesn't look damaged, so poison or drowning?" Dinozzo investigated.

Gibbs nodded, "That's what we need to figure out."

Ziva stood up from the body and looked around. She thought she heard something, but she doesn't know what. The NCIS agent looked out into the vast ocean, seeing nothing but blue.

"Are your ninja senses tingling, Agent David?" Tony teased. Ziva looked out into the water one more time, noticing a small lump in the water.

"Tony, what's that?" She asked pointing to the lump floating around heading for shore.

"I don't know, you think…" He was cut off as the lump flipped around showing a girl's body.

"It's a human!" Ziva yelled alerting everyone. Ducky, Palmer, Gibbs, McGee and all the police turned to the ocean and some standing up from their kneeling position. There was commotion as everyone ran toward shore. Ziva had already run into the water attempting to get to the girl. The agent dove under the waves and got to the body. The water was at Ziva's shoulders, but the waves tore over her head.

She took the girls pulse, and gasped as she realized this body was still alive. Ziva pulled the girl towards shore, struggling to get through the tough waves. Tony was knee deep in the water with Gibbs and McGee helping Ziva as she got to shore. They pulled the girls living body onto the sand as Ducky tried to save her. Tony helped Ziva the rest of the way. She was wet, out of breath, and exhausted.

Breathing heavily Ziva collapsed on the sand next to her shoes she had thrown off to jump into the water. She pulled her hair tie out of her dripping hair and just sat there catching her breath.

"Nice job, David. But common, let's get you dried off" Tony said sincerely helping the soaked agent off the ground. He helped her over to the ambulance and got some towels. It had been a little colder this morning, so he worried she might come down with something.

As they walked past the group surrounding the girl, Ziva watched them run up and down the beach getting things to save the girl she had brought out of the waters.

Eventually they got the girl breathing again. The girl coughed up some water and took a huge breath of air. Everyone stepped back and Ziva ran up with Tony to the crowd, pushing their way through to see the girl.

The girl was obviously just a teen. She had very long pitch black hair, and pale white skin. She was only wearing a pair of short black shorts and a dark green t-shirt. She was probably only ninety three pounds, and five foot three (with Tony's perfect estimation).

She continues coughing up water, and there was panic everywhere because of it. She would barely take air into her lungs. Ziva knelt down next to her, and waited for the girl to get better. The girl had sat up and practically pushed everyone away from her as she coughed and coughed. After what felt like hours, and were just minutes, the girl stopped coughing and finally took in air.

Everyone was running around yelling orders. Some finished putting the dead marine in a body bag, and loaded it up in the NCIS truck. Ziva was left with the girl, as the rest were completing the investigation.

The police were kicked out of the crime scene by Gibbs, and the beach cleared out. Police, and Ambulances left but would be briefed later. Ducky came back to Ziva and the girl.

The girl was breathing rather normally now, but inched away from Ziva. She accepted the towel Ziva gave her, but that was it. The girl looked around her body checking for injuries but found none. The girl Agent watched oddly as the person she rescued took extra-long at checking over her legs.

"Ziva, come here for a second" Gibbs ordered. Ziva immediately got up and ran over to Gibbs. The girl had watched her leave.

"Good job, you just saved her life. But go home and change clothes. Come back to the base when you're done." He told his agent.

"Got it" was all Agent David had said as she left the crime scene. She took the car back to her house, knowing everyone else would ride in Gibbs car and the truck.

Ducky kneeled down to the teen girl sitting with her knees against her chest.

"Hello, my name is Dr. Mallard. All of us are from NCIS, we won't hurt you. So, please, come with me." Ducky said to the teenager. The girl looked at the doctor with two very green eyes. She thought for a moment and nodded.

"Very well then, just come with me." Ducky said getting up. He helped the girl up; she paused before walking, and took a few wobbly steps at a time. Gibbs came up to her.

"Hello, I am Special Agent Gibbs; this is Special Agent Tony Dinozzo and Timothy McGee. You can come with us." Gibbs introduced. He waved the two agents off as they walked over to Palmer and Ducky to talk. Only they didn't know what their boss was thinking.

"Do you know the man that we found earlier?" He asked. The girl shook her head no, not making a sound but her breathing. She pulled the towel tighter around her and stood there staring at the ground.

"Did you save him?" questioned Gibbs as they walked towards the car. The girl nodded and shrugged. Gibbs nodded and opened the passenger door for her. He shut it and walked around to the driver's side.

Before stepping in, Gibbs yelled "McGee, Dinozzo, come on, let's go!"

The two agents rushed over and climbed in the back of the car.

"Hey, Boss how come she gets the front seat?" Tony said. The senior field agent looked at him through the rear view mirror.

"Because she was just saved from the ocean" Gibbs said in a sarcastic tone.

There was silence before more talk.

"That was one heck of a crime scene there. We found a dead marine and –"Tony was interrupted by his partner.

"Be quite Tony, you are so inconsiderate." McGee stated.

"Got any evidence, Mc-G? No, I didn't think you would." Tony said. A small laugh escaped from the girls lips as she stared out the window.

"So what were you doing out there anyway?" asked Tim. The girl shrugged and continued looking out the window. Tony and Timothy exchanged eye contact and shrugged. The rest of the ride was awkwardly silent.

Back at the NCIS building…

When the team got off the elevator with the teen girl, Ziva was there waiting for them. The walked over to the bullpen, Tony and Tim immediately going to work. Evidence was sent to Abby, and the team was sent to work, except Ziva.

"Ziva, go with her to get a shower and a change of clothes. When she is dried off go to the conference room." Gibbs told her, as they walked away, he pulled Ziva over for a second to say "and find out more about her".
