A/N: Okay so here's my new story. All you need to know for now is that Diane Gibbs is an IRS Agent, and Leroy Jethro Gibbs is an NCIS team leader. My first AU story, based off of Devil's Trifecta, sorta. No Fornell, or Emily.

oooooooooooo

"Morning," Gibbs muttered, walking down the stairs. It may have been a simple, Wednesday morning, but crime has never taken a break for Leroy Jethro Gibbs. The man's attractive, red-headed wife stood in front of the counter, a cup of coffee in her hands. Gibbs reached for the mug that Diane held, and took a sip of it, before promptly spitting it into the sink.

"How can you drink that..." he mumbled, using several choice words.

"And a good morning to you too," Diane sighed, pouring her husband a cup of coffee-plain-that he was apparently unable to get himself. Gibbs took it, snatched up his coat, and left the house.

Diane groaned. It was the same thing every morning, and night. Most nights he didn't even come home. But maybe Diane preferred that-sitting in silence by herself, or sitting in silence with a husband who seemingly didn't care anymore?

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"Boss, there's a dead Petty Officer..." began Special Agent Timothy McGee. Gibbs didn't pay him any mind, throwing his coat on his desk, and giving his computer a swift 'smack.'

"Take DiNozzo," he snapped at McGee. McGee looked across the bullpen at his only partner before grabbing his bag, and hopping in the elevator. When Gibbs heard the elevator doors shut with the oh-so-familiar beep, he rested his head in his hands. Almost drifting off to sleep.

"Gibbs!" A voice called. Gibbs' head snapped up, refusing to be caught sleeping. "Did you stay here last night?" Director Vance yelled from the top of the staircase. Gibbs didn't answer, instead standing and jogging up to meet the Director.

"You've been talked to about finding a replacement for Agent Todd?" Vance asked, more rhetorically than literally. Gibbs nodded. Of course he had-he just has no recollection of when, where, or what they said.

"That's what I thought," said Vance with a smirk. "So I took the liberty. I think you'll find this one...suitable." Gibbs stared at his director. Great. A probie on his team, with all that's going on. He opened the door to the office.

"Agent Gibbs, meet Agent Jennifer Shepard."
