This is a story idea that came to me months ago, I have most of it pdea that came to me months ago, i lanned out apart from the end. I recently got Jasper S, or Jasper Shepard added to the NCIS character list so everyone can now label him to stories with Jenny's dad in.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
What once was mine
His heart was beating fast in his chest, he could hear the blood rushing in his ears. His chest felt so tight he could hardly breath, but he had to do this, he had to do it for her and for his sanity.
He loved her so he had to continue walking, as much as what he was going to do could hurt him, it could also bring hope back into his life, something he hadn't had in the last twenty years of his dark life of hiding in the shadows. Pretending to be someone he wasn't.
The years he'd spent away from the only person left on the earth that meant anything to him, the only person he had left who gave a damn about him and he'd let her down, he'd hurt her more than he ever thought forgivable and that's why he had to do this.
Walking up the building, he looked up, it was bigger than it had looked in the pictures, he took a deep breath as he read the big bold black letters above the door 'NCIS' is said and then in smaller words underneath it read 'Naval Criminal Investigative Service'. She'd been in control of all of this.
"Excuse me Sir do you need any help?" an female voice, thick with some sort of middle eastern accent got his attention, the older man turned and saw her, she had thick brown hair tied up in a ponytail showing her widows peak proudly. Her soft brown eyes and the NCIS special agent badge clipped to her waist let him know he could trust her.
"I need to find a Special agent Gibbs" he told her.
The women's eyes lit up "He is my team leader, I'll take you to him" she told him before leading the man into the headquarters.
He passed through all the security measures easily and waited patiently for Ziva to get him a visitors badge and before he knew it he was following the young women out of the elevator and into a large room, the length of the whole building, full of desks each one with a computer, dividers separating them into units, there was stairs at one end that lead up to large double doors with 'MTAC written in large black letters and the walls were a loud bright orange.
"Gibbs" Ziva called as she walked to an area with four desks with computers and phone. He looked around at the men sitting behind the desk, he wondered which one was this 'Special agent Gibbs' he'd heard so much about.
One man was tall had dark brown hair and hazel eyes and judging by the amount of hair gel and the strong smell of cologne that he could smell the guy obviously cared a lot about how he looked and spent a lot of money on it and he had a play boy air about him.
Next to the play boy sat a skinnier and slightly scrawnier looking, almost too skinny, short dirty blond hair and green eyes, he was typing intently away at his computer so he got the gist this guy was a bit of a computer geek.
The final man was older than the others, closer to his own age, his hair was salt and pepper, his was jaw chiselled, blue eyes. He dressed more casually than the others. He knew then that this had to be Gibbs, there was no way it could have been the other two men.
"What Ziva" the man he was looking at spoke making him smile.
"This man" Ziva said pointing at the older man beside her "He needs to talk to you" she continued.
Gibbs turned and looked at the older man in front of him, he recognised him a little bit but couldn't put his finger on it, he recognised the man's eyes they were a familiar green but it was still a muddle to him. "Who are you?" Gibbs asked him.
"My Name is Jasper Shepard or at least it used to be" the older man spoke up.
The whole team were in a state of shock, he was dead, the man in front of them was a ghost.
"You're…." Tony began but Jasper cut him off.
"Dead, I know, I've been kept in witness protection" Jasper explained "I'm here to see my daughter, I was told that you" he said turning to Gibbs, "Could take me to her" he said.
Gibbs went pale, it had been almost a year and he still couldn't take it, it still broke his heart every time he thought about it, "Uh come with me" Gibbs got out of his chair and ushered Jasper over to the windows where they could have privacy when Gibbs gave him the news that he was about to give him.
"What is it?" Jasper asked, almost fearing what the younger man was going to tell him.
"I uh, Jenny, she….she" Gibbs began taking a gulp and then a deep breath before continuing "Jenny died about a year ago, in a crossfire" He admitted, not wanting to give Jenny's father, the man she loved more than anyone, the man she'd spent years trying to avenge, the lies about Jenny's death, that wouldn't be fair to her memory.
"No" Jasper shook his head "That is impossible"
"No, I assure you it's true" Gibbs told him firmly.
"She sent me a letter last week" Jasper said producing an envelope from his jacket pocket.
Gibbs scanned over the letter, it was her hand writing, singed by Jenny and was dated only a week ago, but how could that be true, she was dead wasn't she?
