Can't Catch Me

Title: Can't Catch Me
Pairing/Warning/Rating: NCIS fandom, no pairings, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: A suspect tries to get away.
Author's Note: Written for the ncisdrabble100  challenge: satisfaction

When he saw them coming he started to run, even before one of them yelled “NCIS!”  He heard footsteps thundering behind him, but he was too quick.  He darted down an alley, then cut through a mini-mart and slowed to a walk once he hit the busy sidewalk.  He’d lost them.  No stupid cop, Navy or otherwise, would catch him. 

He rounded the corner and plowed straight into a fist.  Momentarily stunned, he fell backwards.  Looking up he saw a silver haired man dangling handcuffs.  “You’re under arrest,” the man said, with a smug, satisfied look on his face. 

Bastard.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thanks!

[egyptian-moon.livejournal.com]

*giggles* So Gibbs like!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Can't fault Gibbs' style, right? Glad you liked it!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Oh, Gibbs, you sneaky bastard! :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Gibbs+sneaky bastard are synonymous, aren't they?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Ha, yes! In the dictionary, next to "sneaky bastard" there's a picture of Gibbs :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

it's what his second 'B' is for after all!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Only without the sneaky part of it all :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

true true

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

Very good indeed.

I can see that look on Gibbs's face.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Gotta love that smile of Gibbs, right?

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

Most definitely!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Gibbs is sneaky like that.
Nice change to see it from the *wrong* side of the law :D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I love Gibbs' sneaky side! :)

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

He's like all good coppers everywhere.
Cue Gibbs, walking purposefully along:

I'll just walk around this corner... and then this one... no need to wear myself out running - these old bones of mine aren't as young as they were... Leave that to Zeva, she likes running.

Right, now if I get my cuffs out ready, and raise my hand about YAY high and count to thr-

Oh, he was a bit quicker than I thought he'd be...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

bwhahaha! exactly!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*does happy dance*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

dances with you

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Hee. Lesson learned? Gibbs is so not your average "stupid cop".

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

don't call him stupid and don't call him sir!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And don't even think about running.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that's nearly as bad as spilling his coffee

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Pretty much.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

neither are things you want to do if you value your life

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

although, if Tony were there to chase me, I might run. I'd let him catch me, of course... after a bit, when we're both sweaty and breathing hard

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

*snort* Did I ever mention that I like the way you think?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*attempts to look all innocent* Somehow, I thought you might appreciate that line of reasoning

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

You know me so well.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you've let a thing or two slip now and again

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Who, me?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

no... never!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

*adjusts halo*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I think it's still a bit crooked there...

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Crooked? I've resorted to duct tape, now.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*nods* any tool can be the right tool!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

As long as it's, you know, covering the horns...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the horns are just to keep the halo in place, right?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes...>_>

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

or that's the story anyway...

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm certainly sticking to it.

[ayankha.livejournal.com]

i'm going thru and rereading all your old fics b/c i'm bored and at work.... this one makes me think what if Neal Caffrey from White Collar got caught by NCIS instead of the FBI... do you think Gibbs would be able to handle both Neal and Tony?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure Gibbs could have handled Tony and Neal, Neal's Rat Pack stylings goes against most of what Gibbs knows and is comfortable with
