TIVA FANFIC: Broken Years, Rivers of Tears (NCIS)

The Suspicious Suspect

Ziva, Tony, Bishop, and McGee made their way over to the crowd of people.

A plump, short lady who seemed to be nervously tapping her foot on the ground, stood next to a cool, calm, collected young man. He eyed the NCIS agents condescendingly as they neared.

"So these are our prime suspects," Tony thought aloud. "Not much to look at," he commented.

Ziva punched him on the shoulder.

"Not every person you meet will be a Victoria Secret model," she fired back.

Tony tilted his head and pretended to think hard.

"Well, actually, most of them are.."

Ziva let out an exasperated sigh.

Suddenly, as Bishop looked up, chuckling silently at Tony and Ziva, she stopped and then did a double take, turning to hide behind a bush.

"Erm, why don't you continue on without me," she called out shakily, "I'll just go back and you know, do more research on our crime.."

Ziva followed her. "Is there a problem?" she tested.

"No, no," Bishop quickly said, still hiding behind the bush.

"Yes," she hissed at Ziva.

Tony saw that something was wrong, and started to act.

"Well, Gibbs wanted us to question the suspects," he spoke slowly, eying his surroundings to see what the matter was, "So.. We're gonna question the suspects."

Bishop shook her head and whispered a few words into Zi's ear.

Ziva wrinkled her brow, looking back over at the man who now seemed extremely concentrated on scratching his head, oblivious to them. Then she nodded, and started to walk over to the man.
Tony followed her gaze, and let out a dreading sigh.
He had seen the bulk in the man's trench coat, too.

And it was oddly shaped.
Quite like a gun...
