<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ff99">Ziva had seen a lot of horrible things in her life, but when the huge rock was removed and Sarah McGee let out a scream of pain that shook her to her very core, it was nothing compared to what happened next. Once the rock was removed and she and Tony had worked together to carefully lift the younger McGee out of the water, her throat backed up, and she gagged as she took in the sight of what remained of the younger woman's mangled right foot, and the part of the knee bone that stuck out from the skin. It was.. terrible.<br/>
<br/>
But the agent was glad when the younger woman passed out in her and Tony's arms from the pain, after she had screamed what Ziva assumed was the dead Marine's name, as they gently carried her over to a waiting emergency medical services crew, which quickly loaded her into an ambulance. Once Sarah was safely on her way to the hospital, Ziva<br/>
took a moment and threw up a few feet away, not wanting to compromise any more of the crime scene. </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ff99">But that had just been... She had trouble trying to describe how bad it was. <br/>
<br/>
The closest she could come to describing it is, mangled bits of flesh and blood and bone. Something that looked like it had been caught in a lawnmower blade. </span></span></span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(153, 255, 153)"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 15px">But after a few moments, she forced herself to suck it up. And walked back over to Gibbs and resumed doing her job. At his orders, she started to take statements from civilians behind the crime scene tape. Taking statements from witnesses was something she really didn't like doing. 99% of the time, witnesses bungled things up and made their cases even harder. <br/>
<br/>
But it was even worse when they actually knew what had happened, had useful information, and their stories matched.. It also usually meant that the people who had the time to get their stories straight, were in on whatever was going on. Ziva let out a frustrated sigh several minutes later, as she erased a detail once more, as she listened to the elderly woman describe the man who had been with the marine and McGee's sister, before changing her mind and saying the man didn't have red hair, but black hair, and not a mustache, but a beard, and not tall and skinny, but short and overweight. </span></span></span><br/><i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(153, 255, 153)"><span style="font-size: 15px"><br/>

Got something!" She said, and slipped on some crime scene gloves, as she pulled out some evidence bags and carefully picked up the bloody wallet and browsed through it, finding an ID, some cash and credit cards, and a picture of Sarah McGee and the marine kissing.<br/>
<br/>
Who they now knew as Sarah's boyfriend, from the wallet she </span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(153, 255, 153)">had just found. A few moments later, she put the wallet into the evidence bag, sealed it, and began to bag and tag, like she had been taught when she joined the team.</span></span></span>
