Children of Deceased Mothers United
"Daddy! How long will I be in this for?" Holly Gibbs groaned. Since the car accident a year that had left Ziva David in a coma for five weeks, Rhonda the Social Worker dead and her friend Matt with a broken arm, she'd had to use a wheelchair. Luckily for her the damage wasn't permant but she would be in the wheelchair for a good two more months. Meanwhile, Gibbs' team was only just starting work again. Tony was recovering from a stroke, McGee from shrapnel wounds and Ziva from a bullet to the shoulder and further injuries.
"Not long Holly, anyway good news, the adoption came through today, Matt is now officially your new sister," Gibbs said.
"Where is she?" Holly asked.
"She stayed the night at Abby's house," Gibbs replied. "She should be back any..."
"Holly Gibbs! Where are you?!" Matt stormed up the stairs. In the last three months she'd done two things Gibbs had never expected her to do. Grow her hair to her shoulders and wear a pink hairband which her dad had bought her for her eleventh birthday.
"In the kitchen," replied Holly.
"Cool, Abby sends her love and still, it's almost the summer holidays now that spring break is done, hopefully we can go somewhere cool," Matt said excitedly.
"There's the small matter of money," noted Gibbs.
"I have money, remember," Matt reminded Gibbs."I'm thinking Pompeii. I've always wanted to go there."
"Lots of crime there remember," Gibbs said.
"Yeah, so that means you might get called there for work," Matt said happily.
"Fair point." Gibbs couldn't really argue with that.
NCIS
The next day was their first day back at school. But as Matt wheeled Holly into class she noticed Jared was crying. Since crying was unusual especially for Jared, Matt walked over.
"What happened?" Matt asked gently.
"Last night, some nutter killed my mum and Ziva's dad at a dinner party," replied Jared.
"Oh my God! That's awful!" Matt was close to tears herself, having lost her father a year ago and her mother two years before that she was highly sensitive to that sort of stuff, especially as she'd liked Mrs Vance a lot.
"Hey! What's up?" Darren swaggered in and dumped his bag next to Jared. "What's up mate?"
"My mum got shot last night," Jared replied through tears.
"Hey, I have an idea," Matt said. "Your mum died last night. Mine got stabbed a few years back, Darren yours died five years ago and Holly's in 9/11. We should form a group!"
"What would we do in this group? Cry?" Holly asked.
"No it would be like an AA meeting," Matt replied.
"Excuse me! Am I invisible to you Miss Haycroft?" Mr Fellows, their homeroom teacher asked furiously.
"Nope, I can see you just fine," Matt nodded to him. "I say we call it Children of Deceased Mothers United. CDMU for short."
"I like it," Jared said, sniffling.
"Me too," Holly agreed.
"I'm in," Darren said.
"On shout hash tag group created," Matt said to her friends. "One, two, three... Hashtag Group Created!"
"Shut up and sit down!" Mr Fellows snapped.
"I can't hear you!" Matt said.
"HASHTAG GROUP CREATED!" This time the whole class joined in and even Jared cracked a smile.
The End
I wanted to do a quick sequel explaining the outcome of the end of *Bang Bang* and the death of Jackie Vance.
