Hiatus

I am going on holiday in tomorrow so I will not finish the story before I leave.

Holly and Matt were having a sleepover while Gibbs worked an important case. They sat in Matt's playhouse while dinner was cooking.

"You like Peter, don't deny it," teased Holly to her friend who was going gradually red faced.

"Well you like Darren!" retorted Matt.

"Do not!" Holly screamed, battering Matt over the head with a pillow. Matt fell off the crate she was sat on and stood back up, surprised.

The doorbell rang as Rosie Haycroft was getting the pizza out of the oven. She dashed to the door, looking comical in her oven gloves and apron reading Super Chef! She answered the door and saw a red headed woman dressed in a smart looking dress.

"Director Shepard, I didn't expect to see you here, is everything alright?" asked Rosie.

"They're just down here," Rosie directed them to the playhouse and heard screaming and laughing. She opened the door and saw Matt and Holly struggling.

"I certainly don't remember doing that when I was young," remarked Jenny.

"Jenny, hi," muttered Holly. "Is this about that pen I took because I…" she saw the look on Jenny's face and knew that something was up.

"Holly your father is in hospital, he was injured in an explosion," replied Jenny. "I'm ever so sorry Holly."

"Rule Six," whimpered Holly. "Is he going to be alright?"

"I don't know Holly, he's being treated now," Jenny said.

"Can I see him?" Holly asked.

"No, I'm sorry, he's too badly injured," Jenny sighed. Holly was too sad to correct her breach of Rule Six.

"Who's going to look after me while my daddy's in hospital?" Holly questioned.

"We will, if that's okay with you Director Shepard?" Rosie said.

"That is fine," Jenny said, walking back down the garden.

"I can't believe someone would do that," Matt said, summarising what the rest of them were thinking.

NCIS

Captain Todd Gelfand saw the patient come in and was shocked. It was Leroy Jethro Gibbs who had had a child with Miranda Lawson, the head doctor before him. The man had been through so much over the years, first the losses of his wife and daughter, whom he knew as Shannon and Kelly, then the loss of Miranda, who had died in the South Tower when the conference room was hit by a plane. He prayed that Gibbs would be okay, both for the sake of him and his young daughter Holly.

That was fun, I hope you liked it.

Next I am going to write a separate fanfiction for the deaths of Shannon and Kelly.
