Run and Hide

Chapter 1

"Ensign Gibbs, its really good to see you again. How is your father doing these days?" The marine major, and patient, was attempting to make small talk with the young navy nurse. She just looked over at him between looks at the various monitors set up around the bed.

"He's fine." She then went back to studying the readings on the monitors. She then did a head to toe exam on her patient and started to go out the door.

"Ensign, that's it? He's fine? Well tell him to come by and see me. We served together in the Gulf. He's a good man."

"Yes, sir, I'll pass it on if I see him," she said shortly. It was obvious she didn't want to talk about her father to the major. This was one time where she couldn't keep her feelings to herself. All she kept telling herself over and over again that her father couldn't control her life anymore and that he didn't need to keep living up to his reason for needing the second 'B' in their last name. She then looked back at the major and huffed, "I probably won't be seeing him anytime soon though, Sir." She then turned and walked out of the room. As she headed back to the nurses station, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She was quite sure of who it was and she didn't want to talk to him right now.

"Commander, all is quiet with the Major. I'm gonna go get a drink. Be back in a few."

"Austin, bring me back a coke would you? Oh and while your gone, call your father. That's an order."

"Yes Ma'am." As she walked away, she wondered how in the world she was going to be able to survive her father and her commanding officer dating each other. Really,she thought to herself, had the planets aligned against her? She got to the cafeteria and sat in a booth, pulling out her phone in the process. She hit send and waited for what she knew was going to be an unwanted lecture.

"Gibbs."

"I was told to call you. What is so important that it can't wait till I get home?"

"First, your attitude sucks young lady. Second, I was trying to tell you that I won't be home till late due to a case so you're on your own for supper."

"Case, yeah, okay, whatever dad. I was going out with Stuart anyway so it don't matter."

"It does, he won't be off till late either. I need his help with this case."

"Whatever. Just ruin my night, I don't care." With that she hung up on her father. She knew after she did it she was wrong. But this time, she decided, she needed to stand her ground. She hadn't been on a date with Stuart in almost two weeks. And since moving back in with her dad, she had discovered that he seemed to be developing a relationship with her commanding officer. She knew her dad could never be happy with any other woman, but that didn't seem to keep him from trying. It's not that she minded, she really didn't. She just wished he could have tried with a different woman. She could always request a transfer if the relationship became a problem for her. Right now though, she needed to finish her shift and figure out a way to see her fiancé without her father getting in the way. God, why did she feel like a teenage school girl sneaking out on a school night. Oh well, she was Austin Gibbs, yes a Gibbs and that meant she would do whatever it took to get the job done.

"Commander, here's your coke." She handed her the coke and took a seat with her drink in front of the computer at the nurse's station.

"You get a hold of your dad, Austin?"

"Yes, Ma'am, I did. Not like it was too important, other than him ruining my night. But that is what he is good at isn't it." She mumbled the last sentence. She pretty much knew that whatever she said in front of the commander would be reported back to her father. She checked over the monitors of her patients and looked over through the glass to confirm they were all stable. When she was confident her patients were okay for the moment she got out her phone and sent a text to Stuart to find out where he was going to be this evening, in the hopes she could drop by for a visit. While she waited for his text, she looked around at her patients. She then looked at the clock and realized her relief should be in anytime. Her phone buzzed and she checked her messages. Stuart had told her he was going to be in Abby's lab working on some computer code that needed cracking. She told him she was going to go pick up some take out and bring him supper so she could see him in response and then put her phone away to prepare her report to give to the oncoming nurse.

After giving her report, she went to say goodnight to her patients and let them know who the oncoming nurse would be. "Ensign, I really would like to here from your dad."

"Major, I will let him know. I will probably see him tonight and will tell him. I'll check on you first thing in the morning. Sorry if I was rude to you earlier."

"No problem, girl. I know you are a lot like your father. I'm used to it."

"Haha. I know. Sometimes being like him gets me in a lot of trouble. Okay well you get a good night's sleep and don't give Lindsey a hard time."

"Yes, Ma'am." He replied as he mock saluted the ensign as she headed out the door.

"Night Commander. See you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Ensign."

Austin headed toward her favorite Chinese takeout restaurant. She got out and started to walk to the door when she heard screeching tires coming around the corner. Then she heard several gunshots and ducked behind a wall. She kept her eyes on the vehicle from which the shots came. She saw the license plate as the vehicle sped by. When she was sure no one was coming back she went to look at what they were shooting at. There laying in the street was a young sailor, bleeding from several gunshot wounds. She yelled for someone to call 911 and tried to aid the man. She kept talking to him while he moaned. The ambulance soon arrived and scooped the young man up and rushed off to the emergency room, lights flashing.

The police had also arrived to secure the scene. They were trying to question the young ensign, but she wouldn't respond. She just kept saying, "Call my father, someone please call my father."

The detective who had be assigned to the case went up to her. "Miss, who is your father?"

"NCIS, Special Agent Gibbs, call him. That was a sailor who was shot. Call my dad, please."

"Okay, I'll call him. If the feds want the case they can have it."

The detective walked away from the obviously shaken young woman who just sat on the curb. He called the number he was given and informed the dispatcher that Agent Gibbs' daughter was a witness in a shooting and she had been requesting him. He also notified the dispatcher that the victim was a sailor. The dispatcher advised the detective that she would notify the agent and keep the scene secure till their arrival.

"Miss, you're daddy should be on his way. Can you tell me what you saw while we wait?"

She just nodded her head and rocked back and forth, quietly sobbing waiting for her father. She needed him right now to make things right. There they remained, waiting on the arrival of NCIS.
