The Scent of the Sea

Chapter 6

Tony glanced in the mirror at the two ponies in the back seat. Applejack’s hat blocked a significant portion of the rear window.

“We’re just going to go in and ask her a few questions,” said Tony.

“This ain’t our first rodeo,” responded Applejack.

“Yeah,” added Rainbow.

Tony hadn’t begun grinding his teeth yet, but thought he might be getting close. He pulled into Joyce’s driveway.

The three of them walked up to the front door. “NCIS!” shouted Tony as he knocked. There was a crash from inside.

One of Tony’s hands dropped to his gun while the other tried the doorknob. It didn’t turn.

“There might be something happening in the back,” said Rainbow. She flared her wings and took off over the top of the house.

Tony had stopped trying the lock. It was a solid, heavy door, and he glanced to the side, looking for a window or some other way in.

“Allow me, sugarcube,” said Applejack. She turned away, planting her front hooves solidly. With a burst of power, her back legs kicked out and collided solidly with the door. The lock tore out of the frame and the door slammed open.

Tony went through the doorway, gun up. Applejack was at his heels as he cleared the first few rooms. There were papers and other items scattered everywhere. It looked like the place had been searched.

The two of them found Joyce Bach lying in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor. There were slashing wounds across her torso. Tony paused to check her throat. Besides lacking a pulse, it wasn’t very warm.

A door opened suddenly at the back of the house. “Federal Agents!” called Tony, moving forward with his gun leading.

“Hey you!” shouted Rainbow’s voice. There were sounds of a scuffle.

Tony and Applejack came upon the back door, which was standing open. Beyond it, Rainbow was wrestling with a brown earth pony. He wore an unseasonably warm coat, which was even more unusual as ponies typically did not bother with clothing at all.

The stallion managed to gain a small advantage and threw the multicolored pegasus off. She wasn’t hurt, but it gave him enough time to draw a knife with his mouth. The sheath was strapped to his leg, concealed under the coat.

“Drop it!” shouted Tony, staring down the sights of his weapon. The pony looked at the muzzle of the gun and reluctantly spit out the knife. Rainbow pounced on him from behind and put the stallion in a leg lock.

“Looks like you’re in all kinds of trouble,” said Tony. He took out out a pair of handcuffs but stopped, frowning at them.

“Gotcha covered,” said Applejack, pulling a set of hoofcuffs from under her hat. With Rainbow’s help, she got the stallion locked up.

---

The RIS sent over a batch of files on the captured pony. A couple of the human and Equestrian investigators dug into the information.

“They call him Swindle,” said McGee, glancing at a page of identification data. “Needless to say, he’s got prior convictions, but nothing so serious as murder.”

Applejack listened patiently. “We combed through everything in the house, and found what he was searchin’ for. Joyce Bach wasn’t innocent in this, and we can prove it.”

Rainbow nodded. “She was keeping a list of names of others that were involved, probably to hand over if she was ever arrested. We discovered that at the very least, she was involved in making a copy of Telescope’s employee ID for Cormack Observatory. It’s possible she was helping with the actual smuggling of stolen goods, too.”

“What was her motive?” asked Ziva.

“It’s possible she wanted to get back at her ex boyfriend by implicating his new coltfriend in this,” said Tony. “She said she didn't like ponies, but maybe she was willing to put that aside to work with the bad guys. I’m sure getting her cut of the money didn’t hurt, either.”

“What other questions do we have left to answer?” asked McGee thoughtfully.

“We don’t know who murdered Petty Officer Wheeler.” Ziva reminded him.

“I think we can assume it was one of Swindle’s buddies,” said Tony.

Gibbs walked through and slapped Tony on the back of the head. “Rule 8, DiNozzo.”

Tony put a hand on his stinging scalp. “Yeah, boss. ‘Never assume.’ I got it.”

Gibbs continued on his way to the interrogation room. Rainbow and Applejack looked like they were on the verge of laughter.

Tony gave them a look. “It's a lot of rules to remember.”

---

Gibbs met up with Fluttershy and they went into the room where Swindle sat hoofcuffed to the table.

“It doesn’t look good,” he said to the stallion. “You were inside Joyce Bach’s house. You were carrying the weapon that killed her. You’re a known criminal. Do you want me to go on?”

“I want to make a deal,” said Swindle.

Gibbs nodded. “I bet you do.”

“I know you’ve made a lot of mistakes,” said Fluttershy in her timid voice. “I don’t think you ever intended to become a murderer, though.”

Swindle’s eyes dropped to the table and he said nothing.

“Maybe that’s not how it turned out,” Fluttershy continued. “Maybe she tried to hurt you first. If you tell us what you know, a judge will be more willing to accept a lesser charge than murder. Don’t do it for that, though. Tell us everything you know, and maybe we can stop any more deaths from happening. It’s a chance for redemption. You know it’s the right thing to do.”

Swindle swallowed nervously. “Can you promise me that? That I won’t go down for murder?”

Gibbs shifted slightly. He clearly didn’t see any need to make a promise to a convicted criminal.

“I promise to do whatever I can,” said Fluttershy.

Swindle nodded. “All right. Ask me whatever.”

“How did Bryan Wheeler die?” said Gibbs.

The pony looked confused. “Who?”

“Telescope’s friend,” said Fluttershy.

“I didn’t know he was dead,” said Swindle.

Gibbs sighed and glanced at the one-way glass. He didn’t know who was there listening in, but hopefully they would begin working on new suspects right away.

Fluttershy convinced the stallion to talk through all the names on the list that had been found at Joyce’s place. It was quite a bit of information, and most of it sounded useful.

Still, Gibbs began to get restless. Despite his prowess at interrogation, he would much prefer acting on the information, rather than simply receiving it.

Ziva’s voice on the intercom was an almost welcome interruption. Gibbs got up and walked out of the room.

“We think we know who killed Wheeler,” the female Agent told him. McGee was with her, and nodded his agreement. The two of them laid out their evidence and Gibbs had to agree that it was pretty convincing.

“Get to it,” he told them.

---

McGee, Ziva, and Tony borrowed a car and set off.

“Now that we’ve got some time to talk,” said McGee, “What’s your problem with the RIS? Did a pony steal your lunch money or something?”

Tony glanced at the two of them. He was backed into a corner and he knew it. He sighed. “Do you remember Claire?”

“One of your exes, correct?” said Ziva.

Tony nodded. “About a year ago, that CGI pony movie came out.”

“Wasn’t it called Daring Do or something?” asked McGee. “I think it was a kiddie adventure movie.”

“Yeah,” said Tony.

“Wasn’t it also about a year ago that you broke up with Claire?” asked Ziva. “Was that somehow connected to the movie? Did she insist on going and you didn’t like it?”

Tony did not reply.

“Or did you like it and she didn’t?” asked McGee.

Tony gritted his teeth, and still refused to speak.

McGee and Ziva looked at each other and started to laugh. “You broke up over an animated movie about ponies?” asked McGee.

“We all have to carry grudges about something,” Tony muttered. He glanced up at a highway sign. “Oh look, we’re here already.”

The car turned into the parking lot of the Pentagon.

Naismeth was surprised to see the three NCIS Agents. He looked like he was in distress. “I don’t know what you have to say, but it can wait,” he told them, “I just got word that my daughter was found dead.”

“We’re here about Bryan Wheeler’s death,” said Tony.

Naismeth’s eyes darted between the three of them. “What does that have to do with this?”

“We’ll get to that,” said McGee. “As Wheeler’s commanding officer, you had access to his medical records. You knew he kept sleeping pills around. Maybe it wasn’t very hard to swipe some and lace his coffee with them. We know that Wheeler was known for always having a cup around the office.”

“As for motive,” said Ziva, “When Wheeler broke up with your daughter, she joined up with some illegal activity in an attempt to get revenge. Even if you didn't know that, you surely knew she wasn't taking it well and probably wanted to get back at him.”

Naismeth’s mouth hung open. “I was just trying to reconnect with her. She blamed me for the divorce, and I hoped to get back on her good side.”

“By killing her ex?” said Tony. “Well, that kind of backfired. Once we started digging around with our investigation, whoever was running the criminal enterprise realized that Joyce was a liability. They killed her and tried to recover any clues she had that might lead us to them.”

Tony punctuated his statement by pulling out a set of handcuffs. "You're coming with us."

---

No other ponies had yet been arrested in connection with the thefts from the Observatory, but Twilight expressed her confidence that other members of the RIS would soon begin tracking them down. It was now soely Equestria's problem. NCIS's official involvement had stopped once Wheeler's killer had been found.

"It was nice working with you, Tim," said Twilight. "It's good that we can all find some common ground."

"The media fallout from this is going to be a disaster," said McGee.

Twilight shrugged. "We need to look past the idea of 'a pony killed a person'. We're all civilized beings and should be treated the same. Species shouldn't matter."

"So you support what Wheeler and Telescope were doing?" asked Tony, breaking in. Ziva elbowed him in the ribs.

"I don't agree with it," said Twilight, "but my previous statement stands. It was their right."

Gibbs walked in. "I just talked with the Director. We've been authorized to continue unofficial consultation on the case." He gave Twilight a rare smile. "It was good working with the RIS. If you need any help, let us know."

"That's very nice of you," said Twilight. "If you ever visit Equestria, stop by and say hello." She and the other five ponies headed for the elevator.

Author note:
I looked around and said, "How come there aren't any NCIS crossovers?" So I wrote one. I hoped you had a good time reading it, and I'd like to thank a few people who helped polish it:
Melancholy - Gyvon - BronyRanger - Altoid

And yeah, a sequel is possible.

That was great.

I just sort of assumed that the relative dose of the medicine went up when he was turned into a much smaller creature.
But today I learned to never piss off the moron who gives me potentially lethal meds.

[BR]

very good.

[CommandoDude]

DNA matching the Green pony to Wheeler would've been impossible. Changing species would be the same as rewriting genetic code, the DNA wouldn't even be human and therefor could not provide any match. Even if you argued "It was a spell so the change was only superficial" the hair sample would have reverted after the spell ended.

Other than that, it was really good, the only thing I can say is that there was too little character interaction. Everything seemed to fly by much too quickly because you're going from Point A to Point B at maximum speed. The story is good but the pacing is too fast.

[GuyFace]

Yes. Sequel please.

The mane 6 seemed a tad too, erm... technical (?) in the way they spoke. The character attributes showed through very well, but at the same time I found it a bit difficult to imagine them talking like investigative officers.

That aside, though... the story is pretty damn good. I love me a bit of NCIS, and this fic read a lot like an episode would in book form.

Thumbs turned skyward for you my good sir.

Good story, from start to finish. A bit fast paced, but kept me interested to the end!

[CaptRicoSakara]

Great story, from start to finish.

Now I want a CSI crossover dammit!

Thanks.
Say, have I seen you around before? Does your username happen to have anything to do with a particular Plymouth?

[sockeye101]

But we still never found out what Tony's problem was with ponies...

...or do i just need to watch NCIS to get it?

[totallynotabrony]

581950 It's there in the story. His girlfriend broke up with him over a pony movie.

[avatoa]

Dude, you rock so hard for making a crossover story like this! Though I can't believe you turned Tony into a racist. For shame.

I think that would actually be "speciesist"

[Melancholy]

I'd be up to see more of this.

[Onyx]

I vote for a sequel

[Brony2]

O HEAVENLY SHIZA!!!!!!!!
THIS HAS PUT TOGETHER MY 2 FAV SHOWS AND PUT THEM INTO 1!!!!!!!!
i SHALL READ THIS AT A LATER TIME MY GOOD MAN!!!!

[Brony2]

just finished reading this, and it was pretty awesome
a few moments in the 1st few chapter that made me nearly fall out of my seat laughing
but u did leave some of my favorite elements out, Tony talking bout movie's no one but him has ever seen, Ducky going off on tangents and talking to the dead, Abby talking to her machines and saying hinky
if u make a sequel, please make it more like the show
and btw all of you in the comments who r talking about this being too fast-paced
NCIS shows are always fast-paced, its the commercials that make it seem like it isn't
and i think an idea for a sequel is right here at the end of this story, "Gibbs in Equestria"
liek say u take this same world from this story and basically make it that a human was murdered by another human, or a pony murdered by a human in Equestria
and we at least get to see RIS HQ
my this comment was very long, but who cares!

[DezzarTac]

Man, I am glad I followed your link from another story, this was great!

[Naveron]

this is awsome

Sequel. Now.

I miss Kate.

1759980 I just looked it up. That episode came out seven and a half years ago. And I still remember it.

I really wish the actor didn't have such itchy feet. I heard from the documentary the reason they killed her off is because she wasn't willing to commit to a show for years, as everything else she'd even done only lasted one freakin' season. You'd think she'd care about the money and fame... not to mention the awesomeness.

Meh, I never really liked Kate. She was too one dimensional for my tastes. Now Ziva and her back-story rounds out the cast of characters much more than Kate ever did.

Also, as for this fic... meh. Easy read, but a bit on the bland side. At least the meeting of the team was original enough, although I would imagine full pony / human societal integration as seen here would take way longer than a few years if it were feasible.... Oh why the fuck am I overanalyzing ponies again?

Didn't expect the gay / bestiality angle though. That was a bit.... wtf? dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Octavia_O_O.png

1760554 hey there I've seen you're NCIS and Mlp crossover here and this is the best story I've ever seen. :) My name is Chris as you can tell from my name plack, but anyway I was wondering if you could make a new NCIS crossover? Just to make things interesting.

3056270 I didn't have plans to do so, but there's nothing stopping you from writing your own

[chrisharte97]

3056615 Good to know.

[Dusk Volt]

good job. This was a great story

[spiketen]

Your note is right there isn't enough of this out there. Hope to see this happen more. If it does, this is how it should definitely go. Great lost NCIS Episode my friend.

Even though he was a bad guy, I miss Ari.

Oh, is that a snake cam from the ceiling? Well boys, just look up, smile, and send a silenced 9-mil hollow point into it from less than an inch away! That is, after flinging one of those same bullets into Gerald's shoulder joint first...

Although, you have to admit that he entered into NCIS's Autopsy room with style - who else comes in armed and dressed for Black Ops work by way of hiding yourself in a bodybag, then having your own country's embassy ship you from their grounds to a gurney inside of an autopsy lab?

7394345 sorry that my comments came off as looking completely pretentious, but when I start liking something, I sink my teeth into it and won't let go until it's been dead for a long while. That, and like I said, I had just finished a binge-run, so it was all still pretty fresh in my mind..

I really didn't want that comment sounding like that, but I couldn't think of a different way...

[totallynotabrony]

7394572 You didn't sound like that. My comment wasn't sarcastic.

[Admiral_Gravleos]

To me. This story felt like I was having a rendition of NCIS mixed with MLP that ran through my dreams and along the way it got twisted more and more...

[guradmn]

I loved this story.I love both NCIS and MLP.I may do one my self.

[Neighful]

I looked around and said, "How come there aren't any NCIS crossovers?" So I wrote one.

I like the way you think.

[RayKVega]

And yeah, a sequel is possible.

Well, it's 2021 now and I can assume that these sequel plans are scrapped.

[Okie Brony]

Awesome story! Dammit, I miss Abby & Gibbs. This is the only "complete" NCIS story on Fimfic, & I'd give anything for a sequel.
