Chapter 1 : Where is she?
A/U: It's my first fanfic and I decided to write it on JIBBS. I absolutely love them together, in my world, JD never happened. I'm not that great at writing but this idea kinda popped into my head so please R&R!
It was a 20:30, in other words, late. Leroy Jethro Gibbs had no case to work on but he and his team was staying back finishing a case report, which was long overdue. Dinozzo was teasing Elf Lord again and Ziva was busy trying to understand what the point of shooting things online were if you could just shoot them in person. Gibbs, well he was busy fantasying their Madame Director in … inappropriate ways.
"Special Agent Gibbs, have you seen the Director?"
Gibbs looked up at the Director's assistant and stared at her.
"Never mind." She said as she turned on her heel, making her way back to the catwalk.
"Hey," he called her back now curious about this situation.
As if reading his thoughts, Cynthia quickly replied, before earning herself another icy stare form him. Good choice.
"The Director missed an appointment"
Women and their stupid concerns. He wasn't in the mood for this right now, Jen was probably too exhausted and is hiding somewhere sleeping or downing bourbon, after all she hasn't gone home for nearly two days now. Can't people just give that woman a break?
Cynthia carried on, ignoring the annoyed look on his face.
"The appointment was with SECNAV,"
That changes everything. Jen would never miss an appointment with the SECNAV even if it cost her life. He was worried; this wasn't like Jen to miss such an important appointment.
"How long she been gone for?"
"Since lunch at 13:00,"
"You try her cell?"
She nodded.
"Anyone see her after lunch?"
She shook her head.
"Who'd she have lunch with?"
"I'm afraid that's confidential Speci–"
"If you're concerned about the director's safety Cynthia, you better damn well tell me who she had lunch with." His voice rose and his team all turned to stare at him. Cynthia looked around slightly embarrassed that they had caught Gibbs yelling at her, even though he wasn't even her boss.
If she ever wanted her real boss back she should tell him, but the Director specifically ordered her to keep this a secret, especially from Special Agent Gibbs. He continued to stare at her.
"WHO?"
Cynthia jumped at his voice, suddenly feeling sorry for Director Shepard for having to put up with this almost every day.
"Todd."
Gibbs nodded for a moment as if he was unaware of which Todd Cynthia had informed him that the Director had lunch with. When suddenly, it hit him.
"Todd Gelfand?"
Cynthia slowly nodded lowering her gaze to the floor, not wanting to see his stare.
"Hey boss, isn't that the neurologist who treated you on the Pinpin case?" Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo questioned in a cheerful tone as he walked towards Gibb's desk. But all he received was Gibb's stare a smack to the back of his head.
The young agent yelped, surprised at his boss' sudden hit and held the back of his head in agony.
"What was that for?" he winged.
But all he received as an answer was a dangerous glare from his boss.
Answering Dinozzos's earlier question referring to his neurologist, Gibbs simply said "he was".
Ziva's sixth sense kicked in and quickly walked over to Gibb's desk.
"Is the Director o.k.?"
Gibbs now annoyed at his team for asking to many questions and not doing anything to look for any damn answers.
"Well, why don't you find out, David?"
Cynthia saw Ziva's blank look and explained to her that the Director had gone missing. All three of Gibb's team were terrified to hear that the director of NCIS had gone missing.
"Mcgee…"
The young agents interpreting skills kicked in and finished Gibbs' sentence for him "check the Directors' phone records and locate her cell, on it boss."
Gibbs turned to face his two other agents and said "Dinozzo, David…"
His senior field agent answered first "find Gelfand and bring him in…" they said as they made their way towards the elevator.
"NO," Gibbs called them back, "go with Cynthia to check the Directors' schedule and see who else she seen today and who else she was meant to be seeing," he looked at Cynthia and lowered his voice, "she'll be okay."
Gibbs gave her a reassuring nod and she looked back at him with grateful, yet worried eyes.
Gibbs opened his draw and began pulling out his gun and badge. If he was dating Jen he better damn well wish he hadn't been bored. Especially since Leroy Jethro Gibbs was coming to hunt him down.
