An Agent's Weakness
September 2013...
"Tabby, just remind me, how many boyfriends have you had in the last year?" Matt Haycroft-Gibbs raised an eyebrow at Tabatha White.
"Eight or nine," Tabby said. "But they all just throw my money in the air and then leave."
"I'll tell you what's really in the air, it's your legs!" Matt replied.
"Less of the lip Matt," Gibbs poked his head around the door to give his adopted daughter the stare.
"Yes Gibbs," Matt bowed her head. Gibbs tutted and walked away from the room.
"OMG! I heard about what happened in Naples, are you okay?" Tabby asked.
"Yeah, they offered us councilling but we refused," Matt replied.
"Why?" Tabby raised an eyebrow as she sipped at a glass of Cool Aid.
"Because we cannot show Sophie our weakness," Matt replied.
"Who's Sophie?" Tabby asked.
"God you are so clueless!" Matt groaned, she got up and rubbed her forehead before turning on her heel and leaving the room.
"Where's Holly?" Gibbs asked as she came down the stairs.
"With Darren, Nathan and Jared at the park down the road, I'm going there now," Matt replied.
"Cool, are you taking Tabby with you?" Gibbs asked.
"Hey! Slutty! You coming?" Matt yelled up the stairs.
"Don't speak to her like that," Gibbs said sternly, lightly headslapping her.
"Yeah sure!" Tabby yelled, bolting down the stairs.

"Hey, Hey guys," Matt said, walking onto the baseball grounds.
"Matt, hello," Holly said, putting the bat down.
"Holly! God I haven't seen you in ages," Tabby walked over and hugged Holly before swiftly turning her attention onto Nathan. "And who's this handsome fellow?"
"Down girl," Matt ordered as Tabby moved towards Nathan.
"So come on then?" Darren yelled. "Are we playing or what?"
"Jeez Darren, try that again I think there was someone in Hollywood that didn't hear you that time," Holly said, uncovering her ears.
"Sorry," Darren kissed Holly lightly on the cheek.
"Apology accepted," Holly replied, moving to pitch.
"And PLAY BALL!" Tabby yelled.
"ARGHH!" Holly screamed as a man dressed like a bank robber effortlessly snatched her up and began dragging her back towards a black van parked on the field.
"Holly!" Matt yelled.
"Holly won't be coming back this time..." Sophie gave Matt a psychopathic smile from the drivers seat of the car.
"You little..." Matt ran at the van but before she reached it, another masked man threw her away. She landed hard on the field as the van drove off.
"We need to get Gibbs, NOW!" Jared yelled.
NCIS
"We put out an Amber Alert," announced Vance to the kids who sat in the bullpen.
"Will an Amber Alert find her though?" Matt asked.
"That depends on a lot of things," Vance replied uneasily.
"Like what?" Darren asked.
"Like if the kidnappers are even still based in Washington," Vance replied.
"So all we can do is wait?" Matt summed up.
"Yes," Vance replied.
"Dad," Jared said.
"Yes son?" Vance came and sat down on the desk next to him.
"What if you don't find her?" Jared asked timidly.
"Ummm," Vance was speechless. He didn't know what to say. "If no sightings of her occur within about six months then we may have to consider moving on."
