CHAPTER 1: THINKING...
A BEACH...
Leroy Jethro Gibbs sat on a beach gun in hand.
He had been told Shannon and Kelly had been murdered and felt he had nothing to live...
They were his family...his life and now they were gone.
How could he go on without them?
Pictures flashed though his mind...
The day he met Shannon...
Their first date...
The day he asked Shannon to marry him...
The day she told him she was pregnant...
The day that he heard Kelly was born...
Watching as Kelly grew up...
Each day he had fallen more and more in love with Shannon and when Kelly had been born, he had loved her instantly.
He couldn't believe how he could love someone so much that he had just met...but he had loved his daughter, Kelly from the moment he met her.
That had happened when he met her mother though, so in the end it wasn't that hard to believe.
He remembered how Kelly had helped him with his boats...
Watching Kelly and her best friend Maddie Tyler, play in the backyard...
The two girls sitting on something laughing at their secret...
The day he left...
Saying goodbye to Shannon and Kelly...
Kelly telling him not to go...
He didn't know that was the last time he would see them and now they were gone. Nothing would bring them back and he would do anything to have them alive, but there was nothing he could do.
Because he had not been here, they were supposed to be protected.
In the end though, the NCIS Agent protecting them had been shot while driving and his family had died in the accident...
He had lost his family...
His wife and daughter...
He wondered again,
'How could he go on without them now?'
In his mind he could hear Shannon laughing, because she was happy...
He knew she loved him and it had been that way from the day they met...
He could also hear Kelly laughing, because she had both of her parents who loved her and couldn't ask for anything better.
He felt more pain, because never again would he...
Hear their laughs...
See their beautiful faces...
See Kelly grow up and have a great life with Shannon...
The day he and Shannon had gotten married, he had been so happy and at the time he was sure they would have a long happy life together...
A life that was cut to short...
As Kelly's had been, being killed when she was only eight years old...
He could almost hear Shannon tell him that they were okay and could never be hurt again. That he had to go on and they would meet him again, when the day was right.
He didn't know when that day would be, but hearing her voice and what she might tell him, he knew she was right.
So he got up and decided he would do something else instead.
Something that would change his life...
