IN JENNYS OFFICE

"No way! I'm not a damn babysitter. If the FBI has problems handling the situation, it is their fault." Gibbs yelled at Jenny.

"Maybe you are right. But dead certain it's not my fault. The SecNav has given the order to protect the witness. The FBI has made terrible mistakes and because one of the victims was a Navy officer it has become our job. You have the best team and because of this it will be your job for the next week to protect the witness." Jenny said.

"I know most agents at the FBI are not very smart but can you please tell me what they did" Gibbs wanted to know.

"Well they lost their witness" was the short answer.

"They lost the witness? How can they loose her? I mean a woman is not like handy or a car key which you can lose in the subway." Gibbs asked curiously.

„They lost her because she decided it would be a good idea to climb out of a toilet in a roadhouse. The other time she changed her place with an other person."

"So you would tell me our witness is daffy or sick of life?"

"I don't want to say she is daffy. I mean stubborn is the best word to describe her." Jenny told him powering up the screen.

On the screen was the photo of a teenage girl with red curled hair and nice smile to see.

"You would tell me this is our witness. She is about 16?" Gibbs said.

"Nici is fifteen years old. She grew up in many different foster homes since her parents died in when she was fie. When she was twelve she lived in a bad area in New York City. There she became the witness of a mafia knock-off. And the last two years she lived under the protection of the FBI." Jenny told Gibbs.

"You will tell me this little girl lived more than two years with FBI agents in changing motels. Why for such a long time?"

"You know it takes a long time to file a suit. And at the moment it looks like if there is no need for Nici to testify. But till the suit is over she must be protected." Jenny avouched.

„But why my team? I mean a smart mouth agent sometimes acting like a spoiled brat, an IT-freak, a mossad agent and a Goth forensic scientist. I wouldn't say we are the ideal team to look after a scared little girl."

Jenny smiled "Nici isn't a scared little girl. I would say she is a really normal stubborn teenager. And I thought you have the most experience in handling teenagers or persons who are acting like teenagers."

"It would not be for a long time. And there will be no need to go to a motel. Nici can live in this building and it will be easy to protect her. I think it will not take too many time." Jenny argued. And she won.

"Okay. But you will owe me a favour. I will go to my team and tell them and then you can bring her to us." Gibbs acquiesced.

IN THE BULLPEN

Half an hour later Gibbs had told his team about their new job. The elevator opened with a DING and Jenny walked out. Behind her came the teenage girl Gibbs had seen in Jenny's office.

"This is Nici" Jenny told the team. "I think I will leave you alone. So you can become acquainted."

Nici smiled to the team members. "Hi!"

"Hi Nici!" Ziva said. "Do you want anything to drink or do you want to see the room where you will live?"

"I think we should go over some rules first" Gibbs interrupted.

"Oh no need to do this" was Nici's answer "I know all the rules. No phone calls. No emails. No chat rooms. Never tell a person …………Ow!" she rubbed the back of her head. "What was that for? Are you crazy?"

The team looked shocked.

Gibbs raised his eyebrow causing Nici to walk a step backwards. "If I were you I would watch my mouth."

"Sorry" Nici said looking like the person she really was, a scared little girl.

"This was for interrupting me. I want to go over rules like never change your place with another girl and never climb out of a toilet window."

"She didn't" McGee said.

"Sure I did. Do you know what a boring person Agent Fornell can be? So I decided to climb out of the window to see if I would be able to wake him up. And I changed my place with Kathy Stabler because I wanted to have a time of."

"Kathy Stabler. Is she related with Elliot Stabler and Ryan?" Tony asked.

"Yes she is. She is Elliot's daughter Ryan is her half-brother. Where do you know him from?"

"I was in New York two month ago and I met a friend whose little brother is Ryan's best friend." Tony told her.

"Are you talking about Reed?" Nici wanted to know "I know him since I was three years. Kathy and I were in the same class in Kindergarten and later in the same class in school. When I had to stay in a foster home which was really bad I always run away to Kathy. Her dad helped me many times. And when we changed our places Ryan and his friend Reed helped us and the covered for us when we were caught."

"I think I can imagine" Gibbs told her "But don't forget I'm not agent Fornell. I you do a stunt like this here I can guarantee you, you will not enjoy the consequences."

"I knew all the consequences. A new motel or a new room. A new school no handy and…….OW. Okay I will never interrupting you."

Ziva guided Nici to her room.

"Is agent Gibbs always such a grumbling bastard?" Nici wanted to know.

"I will say so." Ziva answered "he's a very good agent. But you should never mess up his stuff with hello kitty. Otherwise you will have a bad time sitting."

"He remembers me of my dad" Nici told her "if anybody jared on the nerves he was grumbling but he always cared about me."

"I think Gibbs would be proud of your description" Ziva told her.

When Nici started to do her unpacking Ziva left her alone and went back to the bullpen.

"I think this little girl likes you" she told Gibbs.

"I'm a smart guy" was the answer "but I think it's unbelievable to force a little girl to live with the FBI for two years. It's a miracle she hadn't become a hysterical woman. When she talks she reminds me of my daughter. Always having the final say."

Suddenly the fire alarm broke the silence.

"What the hell?" Gibbs shouted.

The other NCIS staff left the building. Gibbs and his team ran to the security room where Ziva had left Nici. The door was opened and not a bit to see of Nici.

"The fire alarm" McGee told the others "when the fire alarm starts all doors are opened. But I can see on my computer where she has gone. All floors are monitored."

The team run back to the bullpen. McGee showed them the film.

"She wasn't kidnapped. She just has gone to the housetop." Tony noticed.

„Okay. Go back to work McGee. Tony go to Abby and ask her if she can go to the mall and buy thing a girl would need to stay at my house. Ziva go to Jenny and tell her that I would bring Nici to my home."

"Okay boss" Ziva and McGee answered and started to do what they were told.

Tony stayed and asked "What are you going to do Dad?"

I will go to the housetop and have a talk with a little girl about starting the fire alarm and running away.

"C'mon dad. Please don't be so hard on her. I mean she's only fifteen and you must admit it was funny how she tricked us. And I think she was bored. If I would spend only a day with Fornell I would do stunts ….OW."

"Stop it right now. I think you would be a great big brother. But it's our job to protect this little girl. I think she can stay with us for the next week so you will have enough time to be a big brother."

"But I don't want her to go back in a foster home. I mean she has lost two years with Fornell and the other FBI-aliens ahm agents. And being back in a foster home would mean to…..Okay I will stop."

Gibbs raised his eyebrow and pointed at Tony with his finger.

"You are not in the position to tell me what to do. But I can promise you I will not tolerate if someone would send Nici back to a foster home. But we can think about these things later. Now you will go to Abby tell her to buy the things. You can accompany her if you want. And if it will be really necessary there can be some hello kitties or bats or what ever on the stuff you buy. But I want you to be back at five. Then we will go home. In the meantime I will have a little talk with Nici. But you can trust me she will survive."

With these words Gibbs left the bullpen and went upstairs to the housetop.

ON THE HOUSTOP

When he opened the door to the roof he saw Nici sitting on the ground her back leaned against the wall of the entrance her arms pulled around her knees.

"What are doing here?" Gibbs asked.

"I don't know. Sometimes I want to be alone for a moment. And it is nice here. You don't hear anything."

"I think you are right." Gibbs told her sitting down beside her. He gently layed his arm around her shoulders wondering when she leaned her head against his chest.

"Are you disappointed in me?" Nici asked.

"No I'm not disappointed but I'm a little bit angry. I told you not to do any stunts and I made myself clear you would not enjoy the consequences. Can you tell me why you have started the fire alarm and left the building without permission?"

At this point Nici became angry too. She clamored „Because I'm not a prisoner. Jenny told me you would be different from Fornell. She told me you will not be boring. But when you talked to me it was the same like with Fornell. Rules, rules, rules. I'm not a fucking witness I want to be a normal teenager. I decided to behave like a normal teenager and so I started the fire alarm. When I was sitting here I recognised I should have thought about before but it was too late."

Gibbs took her chin in his hand "I understand you want to be a normal teenager. But throwing a tantrum is not the right way to get what you want."

"But I wanted to know how you would react. I was wondering about how long it would take you to find me. And at the moment when I pressed the fire button I thought it would be funny………what are you doing" Nici squeaked.

Gibbs had pulled her over his lap putting on hand on the small of her back.

"I do something that should have been done years ago. You have acted like a normal teenager and you have tested the line. Now you will be treated like a normal teenager."

With these words Gibbs started to swat Nici's jeanscladed butt. Nici was wriggling.

"You can't do this. I will not let you. Stop!"

"Oh! I will tell you something my little girl! SWAT SWAT " I can do it and I will do it. And I do not care if you will let me." SWAT SWAT SWAT

"You acted like a little brat today." SWAT SWAT "and now you are getting what little brats deserve." SWAT SWAT "Jenny told you I will be different from Fornell." SWAT SWAT "this is the demonstration" SWAT SWAT „You will never go AWOL" SWAT SWAT „And you will never press the fire button for fun" SWAT SWAT „if you ever do a stunt like this again you will end over my knee" SWAT SWAT

The last two swats were harder then the rest. When Gibbs ended the spanking Nici was laying over his lap with tears running over her face. She was sobbing.

Gibbs gently helped her up and found himself hugged. Nici pressed her face against his chest sobbing hard.

"Shsh baby it's over" Gibbs started to calm her down. "It's all over. Nobody's angry or disappointed." Gibbs was fondling her hair.

When Nici was calmed down enough she looked in Gibbs face. "It will never happen" she promised.

Gibbs smirked a little "You should not do any promises you will not be able to keep. You are fifteen and sometimes little girls do stupid things. It's not false to act like your age. But I think sometimes you must pay the piper like all teens."

Nici nodded her head her eyes were still glassy and she sniffled a little.

"I think we should go back" Gibbs told her "But I tell you something. You need not to stay here. I would take you with me and Tony in our home. And as long as possible you will stay with us."

"Thank you" Nici said "Why does Tony live with you" she wondered.

"He's my son since two month." Gibbs told her.

He gently guided her to the door his arm around her shoulder. When they were at the door Nici turned around "Thank you for taking the time and care about me. But the spanking was mean. It hurts." She said rubbing her back.

"It's supposed to hurt little girl. That's why it is called punishment. And I hope you will remember when you pull a stunt like today."

"I will never …." Nici started to say but remembering his lecture about promises she said "I will try not to do too often."

"good girl" Gibbs said.

IN THE BULLPEN

When they came back to the bullpen Nici was still rubbing her butt and decided it would be the better position for her to stand. Ziva looked to her with understanding and brought her a cafpow.

When she gave it to her she said into Nici's ear "It doesn't hurt for a long time. But I think a pillow will help."

Nici gave her an awkwardly smile. "It's not always funny if somebody takes care."

Half an hour later Gibb, Tony and Nici left the building.

Ziva was standing beside Jenny on the stair looking to them.

"I think Tony has got a little sister" Ziva told Jenny.

"That was my intention" Jenny answered. "When I heard from the SECNAV about Nici and her stunts I knew Gibbs would be the right person to look after her. I mean a little girl playing stunt to Fornell? And I didn't want her to go back into a foster home. I think we due that to her. Do you know she pulled some laxatives in the meal of Fornell and his team?"

Ziva laughed about this story "I think Gibbs will have a hard job looking after her. Do you know he spanked her on the roof?"

"I know. And I also know he spanked you after the hello kitty attack. I thought different before but know I'm confident that Gibbs way to educate works. Or did you ever decorate a car with hello kitty stuff?"

Ziva gulped awkwardly „No Mam"

"I hope for Nici and Gibbs my plan would work. And I'm curious to know what would happen if Kathy visits Nici. I think the New York kids Danny, Ryan and co would be a hard job for Gibb's nerves. But I think it will be funny to watch. And Gibbs doesn't know that I've invited them for the next week when Nici's suit is over."

"Oh my god" was all Ziva could say.
