Chapter 1
"We're ready here sir!"
"Captain Johnson, waiting on your mark."
He nods and yells, "Go, go go!!"
The door is blown out of it's hinges and three flash bangs are thrown into the hole.
Three loud bangs are heard.
Seven black clad S.W.A.T. officers storm into a warehouse. Three swat members move along the left wall and the other four move to the right.
"All clear?" Johnson asks.
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Sir you might wanna have a look at this."
Two marines lie on the ground, "Don't just stand there, Paul check there pulse!" Johnson says on a angry tone.
"Sir, I… I can't feel a pulse."
"This one isn't breathing either."
Tony is taking pictures of the crime scene.

A blue Subaru Impreza stops and Special agent Halve steps out.
"Halve! What the hell took you so long?" Gibbs barks.
"Sorry boss, Abby wouldn't let me leave till we showered together."
"They shower together!" McGee says with a sneer..
"Yea so what if we do McGee? What happened here?" Anton asks.
"Only a S.W.A.T. van full of trigger-happy pissed off men, you just missed them." DiNozzo replies as he shoots a photo.
"Think I found something." Ziva says as she points to a large crate.
A small line of white powder lies on the edge of the crate.
Anton collects it with a swab, "Hey look, there is a trace of black powder there, could you hand me another swab Ziva?"
Doctor Mallard and Palmer walk into carrying a couple of bags.
"Aah Jethro, Mister Palmer doesn't know how to change a tire, I fear."
"Don't worry doctor I think I know how to do it now."
"You think Palmer?" Gibbs says as he slaps him.
"Hmm, I thought the boss only smacked his own minions." Anton shrugs.
Ducky lifts the head of one of the marines, "O dear, this young man got himself shot."
Palmer lifts the other, "Ditto here doctor."
"Strange, they didn't go through and through."
"Hmm, yes Jethro, perhaps due to the small calibre."
Abby is sitting in her lab, the elevator opens and Gibbs walks in.
Techno music is playing loud.
"Hey Abbs, what'ya got for me?"
"Well the term ‘new teddy bear' comes to mind." She giggles.
"The case Abby!"
"You gave me some pretty high quality stuff Gibbs, I'm talking first class Colombian coca!"
"What did the black powder out to be, gun powder?"
"Very good Gibbs! But it's ours I'm affright, old .223 Remington ammunition it had Cordite written all over it."
"Thanks Abby, make sure you take your shower a little earlier next time." He says as he kisses her on the cheek.
"I'm not done yet!"
He stops in his tracks and turns around.
"I'm listing."
"The bullets that killed our marines where both 9milimeters, but probably suppressed since they didn't go through all the way."
"Good job Abby."
He walks away again.
"What no kiss?" She says pouting.
Jet again he turns on his heels and kisses her on the cheek.
"Don't you get enough kisses from him already?" He says as he points towards a picture of Anton.
"That is so true! He is a pretty good kisser too!" She turns around but Gibbs is already nowhere to be seen.
Tony grabs his phone, and dials the hospital.
"Hello can I speak to Jeanne Benoit please."
"Yea, Ill hold."
"She went home sick?"
"Okay, thanks."
-Click*
He immediately dials her home number.
"Hello this is Jeanne Benoit I'm not in right now, please leave a message after the tone."
-Beep*
"Hey it's me tried to call you at work but you weren't there, they told me you went home sick! You okay? Ill come by as soon as I can."
-Click*
Tony is startled by Ziva standing right behind him, " Is your girlfriend being a b!tch again?" She scowls.
"No, she is probably just to sick to answer the phone." He replies defensively.
"Okay if you say so, If you need someone to talk too I'm here for you."
"Are you going soft on me?" He says mockingly.
"No, but I know how it is to lose a close friend."
"O, you mean Paula, we never really hit it off, there was just this chemistry."
Ziva nods, "That is basically the same way I felt about lieutenant Sanders." She sighs and drops her head into her hands.
"Wow that really got to you didn't it?" Tony asks amazed.
Later Tony Visits Jeanne's apartment.
He rings the doorbell, no answer.
He rings again, still no answer.
He leans against the door and the door opens, "Jeanne?"
Tony walks into her apartment it's a mess of pizza boxes and take out Chinese, "Jeanne?"
No answer, he walks towards her bedroom.
He opens the door and Jeanne is lying on her back her mouth open and her eyes wide open. A bloody hole in the back of her chest.
Tony nearly slips as he steps into a big puddle of blood.
"O MY GOD!" Tony screams.
