A/N: A long time ago I started a story by the same name but very quickly lost muse and abandoned it but now I am reviving it from scratch for everyone to read. I don't have my original chapters so it will be different in ways but I hope to start off much the same as last time but with changes to adapt to my muse. I hope you enjoy the new version of this fic.

Disclaimer: I will write this once and ONLY once. I do not own the NCIS characters

Chapter 0: Bourbon and a chat (Prologue)

The woman unlocked the lowest of three draws that were situated under her desk and pulled out two identical glasses and a half-empty bottle that contained bourbon. She knew that as she was in a school it probably shouldn't be there but dismissed this as the visitor she was expecting would appreciate the bourbon being there. As the new headteacher at St Wentworths there was something she wanted to discuss with her deputy head and get the stubborn man to agree with it. Things were going to change under her command and she was pretty sure many of the staff there knew it already. The clock in the office continued to tick away each second of the day as the room was silent. The woman busied herself with looking over some of the files she had been given to look at by the beginning of the new school year, which was only a week away but she had left them until last minute. The man she was expecting was late but this didn't worry the new headmistress as everyone knew that he always kept his own schedule and hardly ever attended things on time no matter how important the event. The woman came near the end of her files and was only a couple of them left when she faintly heard the sound of footsteps coming towards the door she was behind. The next thing she knew the door crashed open, nearly being knocked off it's hinges. It surprised the woman how used to it she was already. What else had she expected from the man. It was only a minute later that she addressed her visitor.

"Still not learnt the meaning of knocking then Jethro"

"You should know me by now Jen", Leroy Jethro Gibbs replied to the headmistress with a hint of a smile. Jenny couldn't help but giggle at the former marine's comment. She signalled out a seat on the other side of her desk and her visitor sat himself on it without a word. Remembering that it had been removed from the , the woman opened the bottle of bourbon and started to pour a small a mount into each of the two glasses and handed one to Gibbs while keeping the other for herself. They both drunk slowly and silence for the first couple of minutes, each expecting the other to start the conversation. After these minutes the grey haired man started to bore of the silence and quickly spoke up to grab the attention of his female companion. "So Jen. Did you call me here for a reason or just need somoene to drink bourbon with?". The woman put her glass down and smiled at him to pass away the short silence that passed while she thought of how to start what she wanted to say. "You should know I have no problem drinking alone Jethro...", the reply started. " There is a special project I want you to help me with this school year. It will hopefully be kept only between the people who we decide to involve in it". After this sentence she took a breath and a quick look to check she had caught Gibbs's attention, which she had considering he seemed to be staring at her intently. Both Jenny and Gibbs picked their glasses up and had another swig of bourbon before any of them even thought of speaking. The headmistress then began to explain what she wanted to do.

"You see. There is something that worries me about taking charge of this school. It has been a trend in schools all over the area that the incidents of bullying have been increasing year by year and more of the children are being affected by it. This is my school now and there is no way I am letting the trend include this school too. That is why I have come up with the idea of having some of the students we can trust watching over the place to look out for and help us deal with those sort of incidents. They will need to be able to hold their own though as I bet some of the bullies won't want to be caught. Any suggestions on who we should include?". It was a lot for the man to take in and he was silent for at least a minute before trying to come up with some suggestions of who to include in the team in his mind. Very soon his mouth was open to speak. "Well, How about Tony DiNozzo in year 11? He owes me a few favours that I should call him up on". There was a pause while another name was being thought of and during that time a lightbulb flashed in Jenny's head, making her remember a previous conversation. "DiNozzo. Isn't that the one you are always threatening to headslap" she said with a smirk. Gibbs simply nodded his head and then started to wonder how the woman knew when she hadn't been in the school when he was telling the boy off before but then he realised the only person who knows both of them who would know that information. "Ducky" ,he said plainly. Jenny's face gave away that his suspicion was correct and he let out a small smile at the idea. Then he decided to get back onto the subject. " Also we should ask Kate Todd, in the same class as DiNozzo. She can see through lies quite well so she would be good and also Abby Scuito in the year below. Abby is an amazing scientist and would be great with the evidence even if she is always trying to sneak caf-pow into her classes". The headmistress considered the names that had just been mentioned to her. Although she had personally met none of them she was happy with anybody that Gibbs vouched for as she knew he didn't trust anyone easy so they must be good enough for the team. It was after the consideration that she she began to speak to her companion. " Ok, those three are in and if we come across anyone else throughout the year that could be useful we will add them to the team. We should start it a couple of weeks after the start of the year to let them get settled before we talk to them". The man nodded his agreement and without a word he headed towards the door of the office and opened it ready to leave. Just before he did he turned around and looked once again at the woman before speaking for one last time.

"By the way Jen, Nice haircut"

With that he left the office and let the door slam behind him with a loud bang. Jenny smiled and then put the bourbon and glasses back in the bottom draw of her desk and locked the draw, putting the keys in her pocket before she herself left the office. It was going to be an interesting year indead.
