NCIS: Ellie Bishop Re-Imagined Discontinued

Chapter 1 - A Gut Feeling

Chapter 1:

*** 3rd Person POV ***

Ellie woke up with a bad feeling in her gut. It was 4:30 in the morning and she couldn't fall back asleep. Seeing that her alarm would go off in an hour, she decided to turn on some TV. She was channel surfing when something caught her eye...

It was a news broadcast of a suicide that occurred early that morning. It was a young girl, 15, daughter of a Naval Captain Peter Smite and Dr. Tori Smite. She felt really awful for the young girl's parents. Then she remembered Rule #35: Always watch the watchers. She was looking at them she saw Jake...

Dada Dada! Her Alarm was going off. 5:30 am

"Crap!!" Ellie uttered as she jumped out of bed, turned off the TV and ran to take a shower. While she was in the shower she was thinking away: Why was Jake Malloy, my ex-husband, doing at the crime scene of a girls suicide? Why was he staring directly at the camera and not at the dead girl? These thoughts were running through her head as she jumped out of the shower and picked out an outfit.

She picked out the normal jeans, wool sweater, brown leather jacket, black converse, grey beanie, and her black backpack. 

Once she was dressed and added some makeup to her look. She kept her shoulder-length, bleach blonde hair down and walked out the door, remembering to grab her phone credentials, badge, and SIG. Leaving at 6:15 to head to work. She jumped into her blue truck.

Coffee!

"Let's see it is 6:15 and I am starving. Let me text McGee and see if they want coffee." Ellie was thinking.

Ellie: Hey McGee! Do you and the team want some coffee? I am going for a coffee run.

McGee: Hey Ellie. Yah we would love some coffee.

Ellie: We? Who is there?

McGee: Tony and me. Gibbs... might need to get him a new cup.

Ellie: Haha. Ok, be there in 5.

Ellie walked into The Coffee Bean and was greeted by the brunette barista. "Hello, how may I help you?" She asked. "I will take 4 coffees, please." Ellie replied paying the lady $25 and saying "Keep the change. Have a nice day."

While waiting for her coffee she felt a hand on her back, cold and frightening. She jumped a little and turned around and it was Jake. "J - Jake, what a - are you doing here?" She uttered as she was as pale as a ghost. "I just wanted to say hi and wanted to know how you are doing." He said but Ellie knew something was up. She could smell the alcohol on his breath and clothes.  He also had been acting like he had been drinking for a while.  

"4 coffees for Ellie!" The barista called taking me out of my fear. "Thanks," Ellie told the barista and walked out ignoring Jake. Once she got to the car it was 6:55. "Shoot! I am going to be late for work! I got coffee thou." Ellie thought driving out of the coffee shop. She was still at pale as a ghost and a little thrown off. She decides not to tell her coworkers any of this yet...

What will happen to her? What did Jake do? Was her gut feeling right?
