A/N: This story takes place 26 months after Day 5. Jack never went to Africa, never went before a Senate hearing, and never met Renee Walker, and Tony Almeida never faked is death.
Chapter 1:
Jack Bauer heaved a heavy sigh as he waited for his former brother in law Leroy Jethro Gibbs. They hadn't spoken in over 2 months, since Jack had rescued Ziva from Somalia. He took another drink of the weak black coffee, when he saw Gibbs come walking in. He slid into the booth directly across from Jack, and just stared at him for several minutes. Finally Jack asked, "How've you been Jethro?"
Gibbs replied, "I've been good. You?"
Jack hesitated, then he said, "Good."
After several tense moments of silence Gibbs asked, "What have you been up to since CTU was shut down?"
Jack replied , "I'm special advisor to the Secretary of Homeland Security."
Gibb asked, What's he like?"
Jack replied as he downed his coffee, "Bill's great, I worked with him at CTU, and I guess after the former secretary resigned, President Palmer thought Bill would be a great homeland security secretary. We also managed to snag Chloe O'Brien, the best analyst at CTU."
Gibbs nodded as he said, "I wanted to thank you for getting Ziva out of Somalia."
Jack said, "Don't mention it, it's the least I could after you guys rescued me from China. Speaking of, how is she doing?"
Gibbs replied as they both stood up, and walked to the door, "She's getting better, but she's still having night terrors, and very horrific and vivid nightmares."
Jack asked as they walked to their vehicles, "Would you like me to talk to her?"
Gibbs replied as he got into his dark blue 2013 Government Issue Dodge Charger R/T, "That would be great."
Jack said as he climbed into his black 2013 Ford Explorer "Alright I'll follow you."
Gibbs gave a brisk nod as they sped away.
45 minutes later they pulled into the parking garage of the Navy Yard. Jack met Gibbs at the elevator as he said, "Let's do it."
Gibbs gave a small grin as they proceeded through security, and went up to the squad room. When they stepped off the elevator, the first two people they encountered Tony DiNozzo, and his wife Kate Todd-DiNozzo. Kate gave him a hug as Tony said, "Look what the cat dragged in."
Jack grinned, and disentangled himself from Kate as he asked, "Where's Ziva?"
Kate replied, "She's in with Jenny, and Ducky."
Jack had a look of concern etched on his face as he asked in a hard voice, "Why?"
Tony replied, "I have no idea."
Jack had a look of determination as he, and Gibbs marched up the stairs, and walked unannounced into Jenny's office. Her head jerked in their direction as she snapped, "You could've announced your self to Cynthia Agent Gibbs."
Gibbs said, "I realize that Madam Director, but I have someone here who is worried about Probationary Agent David."
Jenny saw Jack standing there, and said, "We will be done shortly Agent Bauer."
Jack said, "I just want to know what's wrong."
Jenny saw the concern etched on his face, and realized that even after all of this time, he still was in love with Ziva. She remembered that Ziva had told her that her, and Jack had worked together in Kosovo, and Belgrade when he was in the Army, then when he joined the CIA they were partnered as an experiment between Israel, and the US. But when he joined CTU she was sent back to Israel. They hadn't seen each other again until he was rescued in China. She was snapped out of her reverie, when Jack said, "We'll be in the squad room."
Jenny nodded as they left. When they got back to the squad room, Kate asked, "So Jack what've you been up too?"
He replied, "I'm the special advisor, and assistant the Secretary of Homeland Security."
As he was talking Jenny, and Ziva walked down the stairs into the squad room. Kate, Jenny, and Ziva just stared at Jack. He stood 5'11" tall, and weighed 195#. He a lithe muscular build, short dirty blonde hair, and intense stormy blue eyes. He was wearing tight dark blue jeans, Blackhawk Warrior Wear Black OPS boots, a tight black t-shirt, and a battered black leather jacket. He also had a 9MM H&K P30LS in a BlackGalco HALO Belt Holster on his right hip, a highly encrypted IPHONE on his left hip, and a Microtech Halo 5 S/E OTF Automatic Knife in his right hip pocket. He also had stainless steel dog tags around his neck, a titanium MTM Black Hawk on his left wrist, and several outlaw tattoos covering his arms and back. Gibbs said as he snapped his phone shut, and pocketed it, "We got two dead Secret Service Agents, and a dead Navy CMDR. In Rock Creek Park. Let's go."
Then he turned to Jack, and asked, "You wanna come
Jack replied as he slipped on his mirrored RAY-BANS Aviator sunglasses, "Sure why not."
I had this idea for awhile, and decided to make it a story. Please tell me what y'all think. Also what do y'all think Ziva saw that scared her so bad
