Caitlin Todd frowned at the file. “An Army base?”

Her supervisor nodded. “Except the accused left the Army when his enlistment expired, then went into the Marines after 9-11. Now he’s one of ours.”

Peering over Todd’s shoulder, Anthony DiNozzo exclaimed, “He stole a rocket launcher?”

“On guard duty when it disappeared,” Leroy Jethro Gibbs corrected. “Records review finally caught up to him.”

“Six years ago,” Todd said, reading further. “Not too cold a trail —”

“Uh, boss?” DiNozzo interjected. “The base doesn’t exist anymore. Or the town.”

Gibbs gave him a flat stare. “Still our job. And we’ll do it.”

Nice little real world intrusion into the Buffyverse. I can just see the NCIS team mulling this one over, coming to grips with all the oddities. I have a fondness for NCIS crossovers and this one satisfied quite nicely.
