Unknown Daughter
Cassie Gibbs is thirteen, with her mom's white blond hair…and her dad's gray/blue eyes, and his personality. Cassie walks into NCIS, hoping to meet the dad she never knew after her mother died in a shootout on her ship. She got a little more then bargained for though…
AN: I DON'T OWN NCIS, BUT I DO OWN CASSIE. ENJOY!
Cassie walks into the elevators after standing at the front desk for thirty minutes, getting clearance to go up from some batty forty-five year old receptionist. She was visibly annoyed and scared. Annoyed by receptionist from hell, scared that her dad will recoil and have her dragged from the building. She was thinking about just walking out and never looking back, when she heard a shout.
"Hold the door!" a man with blond hair and green eyes shouted, running through the doors with a panicked look on his face. Cassie immediately stuck her hand out, stopping the almost closed doors from closing.
"Thank….you" he managed to get out in between breaths, "I'm… Agent McGee… you are?" Cassie had froze and ducked her head away, knowing that an Agent McGee on her fathers team, and she didn't want to take any chances with him telling him before she got to talk to him. She didn't answer him, only keep her eyes away from him. He must have felt her nervousness, for he said:
"Ok, what floor are you getting off at?"
Cassie still didn't answer, so he just looked and me until… Bang! The elevator suddenly stopped and I was thrown against Agent McGee. The elevators lights were out and the emergency lights were on.
"Ok, tell me, why are you here?"
Cassie didn't really want to answer, but she needed to if she wanted to talk to her dad.
"If here to see one of mom's…friends." I said, not wanting to say who, still keeping my head turned away.
"Who?"
"That is none of your business."
"Ok." Was all he said, flicking a switch that Cassie didn't know what was for, but she realized was the emergency switch. After about twenty more seconds, the elevator doors opened on level three. McGee stepped out first, me right after him. Cassie followed him over to his bullpen. Another male agent was sitting at his desk, teasing McGee for being late.
"Well McLate, thanks for joining us!" Cassie heard him teasing.
"Shut up, Tony, me alarm clock didn't go off." Cassie heard him retort. He must Tiny DiNozzo.
"Yes, Tony you have been late many times before" Cassie heard Ziva David, the only female agent on the team, say. But Tony's attention has been turned to Cassie by now, with him noticing her keeping her head.
"Hey, can I help you?" he asked, trying to get a look at Cassie's face. By then Ziva had turned her attention on Cassie, as well as McGee.
"Yes, you can. I'm looking for Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs." Cassie said raising her head, for the first time since the elevator ride, to look at the team. There was a look of shock on all three of the agent's faces, because Cassie's eyes looked very familiar. They were the eyes that all three agents looked into everyday. They were the eyes of Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
