So this has been sitting on my laptop for ages because I haven't been able to think of a title. Now that I've got one though I'm going to start posting although if anyone has any better ideas I'd like to hear them.

"Marine by the name of Colonel Albert Reynolds," Ducky told Gibbs as he came through the door.

Gibbs nodded then asked, "Why did you call me down here Duck? He's not one of mine."

Ducky nodded, "No, he's no one's responsibility. He came in this morning, an apparent heart attack. Reminds me of when…"

"But," Gibbs pushed Ducky.

"But, it looks like he suffered from a major electric shock but there are no contact wounds that would show from such a massive charge." Gibbs just stood there and Ducky continued, "He was murdered Jethro, don't know how quiet yet but it definitely wasn't a heart attack."

Gibbs nodded, "Do you know where he was posted?"

Ducky looked quickly at the file in front of him before answering, "Colorado Springs, Cheyenne Mountain."

Gibbs nodded, "I'm going to see if I can get some answers from his commanding officer about what he is doing in DC and if he had any enemies."

Ducky nodded and Gibbs made his way back up to the bull pen, although he decided that he wanted a coffee first so he left the building and went across to the coffee cart.

Meanwhile, in the bull pen

The lift dinged but Gibbs' team ignored it, continuing with the paper work that was on their desks from closing the last case. They did however look up when someone walked past them and made their way to Gibbs' desk. The first thing Tony noticed was that she was a hot blonde and that she was wearing an Air Force uniform. "Can I help you?" he questioned her.

She smiled at him, "Do you know where I can find Agent Gibbs?"

Tony looked at Ziva and then McGee. Ziva answered her, "He went down to autopsy. He should be back soon. You're welcome to wait."

She nodded and smiled before taking the seat behind Gibbs desk and pulled what looked like a palm top out of her jacket pocket and started tapping away at it. "Um you might not want to sit at the bosses' desk ma'am," McGee said.

The woman looked up and smiled at him, "Oh I'm sure I'll be fine."

McGee didn't look convinced but he let it go. Tony and Ziva shared a glance but then shrugged and went back to their paper work.

For the next ten minutes or so the three agents worked on their reports while the Air Force officer tapped away at the machine in her hand. Every so often Tony, Ziva or McGee would glance at her and she would give them a quick smile before turning her attention back to whatever it was she was doing.

The lift dinged, but like before everyone ignored it. Then Gibbs' walked into the bull pen and stopped in front of his desk. The woman there looked up and gave him a smile. The three team members watched; waiting to see what would happen. They were shocked when Gibbs smiled back, "Long time no see Sam."

The woman, Sam, stood and Gibbs gave her a brief hug before asking, "Not that I'm not happy to see you again Sam but why are you here?"

Sam looked down at her feet and then caught sight of Gibbs coffee cup. Gibbs followed her gaze and handed her the cup. She smiled and took a gulp before handing it back, "Thanks, I need the caffeine." Gibbs nodded and Sam started to speak, "You have a Colonel Reynolds in your morgue."

It wasn't a question; it was a statement of fact. Gibbs nodded, "You knew him."

Sam nodded, "Yes, I work, worked, with him. When he didn't check in with us last night my CO General Landry made a call and we found out he was dead and in your morgue, suspected heart attack. He knew our history so he sent me and my team down here to help with the investigation."

Again Gibbs nodded, "You know it wasn't a heart attack don't you?"

Sam nodded sadly, "He was in trouble, he and his team were doing some recon and he disappeared. They called in, he didn't."

Gibbs nodded and gave Sam a hard look. "I know you; you know what killed him don't you." Sam couldn't look him in the eye and he took it for a yes. Seeing that he wouldn't get any more answers out of her, she was nearly as stubborn as he was, he said, "You said your team was sent. Where are they?"

Sam gave him a beautiful smile and said, "Around somewhere. I can call them and they'll be here as soon as they can but we thought it might be easier to come in parts, me first and then the others, just to make sure that it was you who had the case."

Gibbs nodded and Sam pulled out her phone and pushed a few buttons before putting it to her ear, "Cam, yeah he's here. Come to the navy yard tell them you're here to see Special Agent Gibbs and then come on up, mentioning my name should get you up here without an escort. Bring the others too, might as well get this over with all in one go." She listened to the man on the other end of the phone for a few seconds and then said, "Ok, see you in five." She hung up and looked at Gibbs, "They'll be here in five minutes and then we can start on this."

Gibbs nodded then looked at his team, "Look into Colonel Albert Reynolds. He's our new case. He was sent to us for an autopsy, it looked like he died of a heart attack, but Ducky discovered that he was killed by a massive electric charge but he doesn't know how it happened, there are no contact marks on his body."

The three nodded and turned to their desks but Sam noticed that they kept glancing at her and laughed lightly, "Tell them who I am Leo, the suspense is killing them."

Gibbs gave her a mock glare and then looked at his team. Tony mouthed the word Leo to Ziva and smiled. Gibbs proceeded to smack the back of his head.

"Sorry boss," Tony said.

Gibbs turned his attention back to the smiling Sam and shrugged before saying. "Ok so this is Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter. Sam these are Special Agents Timothy McGee, Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David."

Sam smiled at all of them and waved, "Nice to meet you all." She looked over at McGee and said, "Don't look too hard into Reynolds's record for the last eleven years."

"Why?" McGee questioned.

"Because it's classified well above your pay grade and is a very closely guarded project and if you try your computer will get fried and you'll be arrested for espionage."

McGee gulped, "Ok then, not looking to deeply into his military past."

Sam looked at Gibbs and shrugged, "What, just making sure you don't lose a member of your team."

Gibbs shook his head and said, "Can you tell me anything in the time remaining before your team gets here?"

Sam shook her head and Gibbs took his seat behind his desk and Sam perched on the edge and pulled out her little machine again. Gibbs watched for a moment before he started thinking about the first time they had met. It had been a few years ago, when she had still been a major under the command of Colonel O'Neill. It had been a chance meeting; the two of them had been in DC for a meeting at the Pentagon and were in his favourite diner eating pie and killing time before their flight home. The Colonel had recognised Gibbs, from when they had served together in the Gulf; Jack had been attached to his marine unit for a short time. They had struck up a conversation and Sam had taken an immediate liking to the man, something about him made her feel safe. They still exchanged phone calls and whenever Sam was in DC she would make a point to try and come and see him, he had also seen Jack a few times since his reassignment to DC although not much since he was a very busy man, they both were.

The lift dinged and Sam hopped off the desk, moving towards the group. Gibbs followed her path but didn't stand. The rest of the team also looked up as Sam walked past them and greeted the group before leading the way back over to them. They all stopped walking and stood by Gibbs' desk. Sam then proceeded to introduce everyone. "This is Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchel," Cam gave them all a wave, "Doctor Daniel Jackson, Vala Mal Doran and Teal'c." As she introduced them Daniel and Teal'c both inclined their heads while Vala waved wildly. Sam shook her head and then said, "Guys, meet Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Timothy McGee, Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David."

Each team looked each other up and down, sizing each other up. Sam and Cam both looked very impressive in their uniforms and Daniel looked completely at ease around them but he also looked a little nervous whenever Vala moved. Vala gave a very distinct impression, she had a look about her that none of the NCIS team knew what to make of. Teal'c cut a very imposing figure although he was just stood there unmoving and unspeaking.

In the eyes of SG1 the NCIS team were an interesting mix. They had all become experts at reading people and could see that McGee was a bit of a nerd who had a bit of a hard time from Tony but they mostly got on. Tony they could see was going to try hitting on both Vala and probably Sam at some point or another; they could see it in his eyes as he watched the two of them although Vala more so than Sam. Ziva was an easy read, or at least part of her was, she was obviously a fighter and cared about this team but other than that they weren't sure. Gibbs was almost a complete blank, all they could read was that he cared deeply about the people around him and would protect them fiercely. He reminded them all a little of Jack in that respect.

Once everyone was introduced Daniel handed Sam a file as well as a few lose pieces of paper. Sam looked at them and then gave him a questioning look, "Really?"

Daniel nodded, "Landry and the President agree that they can handle it, or at least as much as we need to tell them for this case to make sense, and they all know how to keep a secret."
