Hey! This is my first crossover! NCIS and Criminal minds! I hope ya'll enjoy it! Please read AND review! Constructive reviews, whether negative or positive

help me be a better writer. Please be sure to keep your reviews kind and constructive and pertaining to my writing. NO Character BASHING of ANY kind

will be allowed or accepted. I had to have to say this, but I have gotten and seen too many reviews on other stories, both mine and others, that are only there to hate on certain characters, or hurt and not help. Remember, It's ALWAYS better to be kind. A BIG thanks to my beta reader, misspatchesmom for editing my work. You're the best! Now on with the story!

It was a stormy night in October at Ulysses S Grant Military School.

In the boys' dorm, two young men in their early teens were getting ready for bed when a cellphone rang. It belonged to Cadet Cooper Jackson. The phone was out of his reach, so he appealed to his friend,

"Hey, Joe, I gotta get that. My mom is supposed to call about books for school. Can ya toss it to me?" Cadet Joseph Stanton picked up the phone from the desk and tossed it to his friend. Cooper looked at the screen, and then answered.

"Hey Mom, I...

"Your mommy can't come to the phone right now. Turn on your facetime. There's something you should see," said a creepy voice on the other end. Joseph saw his friend's face begin to pale as he did what he was told.

"Hey Coop! You ok? What's happening?" the teenager asked with concern. He received no reply.

Instead, the other boy stood frozen and pale, staring at the phone as he said hoarsely, "M-mom?" Looking at the screen, Cooper could see that his mom was all tied up. There were bruises all over her face and blood running down her cheek from a gash in her forehead.

"It'll be ok, sweetie. Just do what the man says, and he won't hurt us."

"Where's Dad?" Cooper choked out. Joseph put a hand on his friend's shoulder. He knew he should go get help, but he was terrified of what the man might do if he brought anyone in the room. Cooper listened as his mom replied, shakily,

"He's out of town on business, Cooper. He's fine. But you have to do what you're told."

"What? Who are you?! What do you want?!" Cooper asked, directing his question to the strange man.

"Never mind who I am! Tell your mom how you really feel about military school."

Cooper was confused; "W-what do you mean?"

"Just what I said. Tell your mommy how much you hate military school and that you hate her for sending you away!"

"No! I won't say that! I love my mom! I like it here at school!"

"Quit lying, ya little maggot! No kid actually likes military school. It's a place where parents send their kids when they don't want them around anymore!"

"That's not true! I love my son! So much that I want him to have the best education possible.

"I love you, Mom." sobbed Cooper. Joseph stood next to him with tears running down his own face, frozen in fear.

"I know sweetie."

"SHUT UP! STOP THE LIES!"

At that, Joseph took off running down the hall to find help. He couldn't stand and watch anymore. Cooper kept trying to get the evil man to let his mom go. He refused to give in to the man's threats. He would NEVER say that he hated his mom.

The psychotic man wielded a gun and said sinisterly, "Well, you may not believe your mom sent you away to get rid of you, but I know the truth. She deserves to die! And I'm gonna make sure she gets what she deserves!"

"NOOOO! LEAVE HER ALONE, YOU MONSTER! MOOOM!" Cooper screamed.

His mother, who also had tears streaming down her face, cried out, "I love you, Cooper! I'm so sorry. Tell Dad how much I love him and that I'm sorry."

Cooper screamed through his sobs, "NOO! MOOOM! I LOVE YOU! DON'T YOU TOUCH HER, YOU PSYCHO!" Then, he could do nothing but stand there helplessly as the evil man, whom he had never seen before, shot his mother before his eyes. Cooper fell to the ground sobbing, and that's how Joseph and the Marine guards found him when they returned.

~FBI~

In Quantico, SSA Aaron Hotchner was headed to the roundtable room. They had just gotten an extremely strange case handed to them. He could tell already that it was going to be a tough one. He hoped the team was ready for it. It had only been a few months since Emily Prentiss had returned after faking her death to escape Ian Doyle. JJ had been in on the plan, but the others, especially Spencer Reid and Derek Morgan had felt betrayed. The team had only recently begun to reconnect as a family. When he reached the roundtable room, the others were already gathered. As Hotch handed out the files, TA Penelope Garcia debriefed the team.

"Ok, people, this case is the definition of sick. Someone has been going around killing one or both parents of military school students, while he facetimes the kids and forces them to watch helplessly on the screen."

"Did any of the kids see the UNSUB's face?" Rossi asked..

"From what we've been told, they were all in shock and unable to think coherently." Dr. Spencer Reid, in usual Reid form, spoke up. "You know, studies have shown that children who face a trauma suppress the memories as a defense. If we can do a cognitive interview with each child, maybe they can still tell us what happened and give us clues to catch the UNSUB."

Hotch began to assign tasks; "Emily, JJ, Morgan, Rossi, I want you to interview the students. Garcia, I need you to look into these families. Find out if they had any connection other than sending their kids to military school. Strauss informed me that we will be working with NCIS on this one. Reid and I will greet them when they arrive."

"NCIS? Have we ever worked with them, Hotch?" Morgan questioned his boss.

Hotch shook his head. "We haven't, but Tobias Fornell and his team have worked with the MCRT multiple times. Working with the FBI is nothing new to Agent Gibbs and his team."

"Wait, Jethro Gibbs?" Rossi asked.

"That's right." Hotch replied.

Rossi chuckled. "We were in the same unit in the Marines. If he's anything like he was back then, this will be a very interesting experience."

~NCIS~

Meanwhile, at NCIS headquarters, Director Leon Vance was having his own conversation with Gibbs.

"There have been multiple deaths of parents who have kids in military school. It's beginning to look like the work of the serial killer. I've talked to Section Chief Erin Strauss over at FBI headquarters. She and I agreed that your team will work with her best team on this case."

"That's not Tobias's section chief." Gibbs observed.

"No, she is not. Erin's the Section Chief heading up the Behavioral Analysis Unit." was the reply.

"David Rossi's team?" Gibbs asked. Vance nodded.

"Well, he's not team lead anymore, but that's him. Do you two know each other?"

Gibbs looked thoughtful as he replied, "Yeah. We were in the Marines together. I'd heard he'd come out of retirement a few years back. But I hadn't gotten around to reconnecting."

"Well, now's your chance." Vance responded with a small smile. Then he dismissed Gibbs who headed out to gather his team. Tony, McGee, and Ziva were all working at their desks, but looked up when they saw their boss approach.

"Grab your gear! We're going to FBI headquarters."

Tony looked at Gibbs curiously. "Fornell got a case for us, Boss?"

Gibbs shook his head. "Nope! We're headed to the BAU." Ziva, McGee, and Tony all looked at each other, but followed their boss without another word. The BAU? This was gonna be an interesting case.

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Any characters that you didn't see in this chapter will appear in the next.

Hopefully that will be up on Monday sometime,

I will be on vacation though, so I'm not sure how much writing and posting time I will have. Thanks for reading!

Any reviews, as long as kind and constructive
