Jenny Sheppard had been sitting in her office for two hours when she received an urgent phone call from her next door neighbors.

The fire department was at her house trying to put out a raging fire, her neighbor informed her that she needed to get here as soon as possible.

After the shock of hearing her house was burning wore off Jenny quickly hung up the phone and grabbed her coat and purse racing out of the agency. On her way down the stairs she phoned her driver informing him to get to NCIS immediately. She snapped the phone shut and bustled past Gibbs and his team.

They saw the director race out of her office and down the stairs. Tony and Ziva looked to McGee and they all turned towards their boss who was watching Jenny's movements. They watch as he grabs his keys, badge, and gun and race for the elevator whose doors shut just before he can get to them.

It's only a matter of seconds before the elevator opens and Gibbs jumps in hoping to get to Jenny in time, worried at what was going on that would cause her to be in such a hurry, and to cause the poorly masked fear and worry in her own eyes.

When Gibbs arrived at the car park he came face to face with Jenny pacing back and forth, obviously waiting for her driver to show up. He watched as she turned around once again, but this time she noticed him.

Jenny saw Gibbs standing there and not wanting to wait another minute for her driver she grabbed his arm and led him over to his car.

"Gibbs, I need to get to my house right now, my neighbor just called, the fire department is there right now trying to put out a fire." Jenny said and Gibbs took one look at her face before opening her door for her. He quickly went around the car and got into the driver's seat.

A half an hour later and they were pulling up to what used to be Jenny's townhouse, but was now a wrangled mess. There was smoke rising out of the windows, yellow 'DO NOT CROSS' tape wrapped around the house, and at least ten men trying to put out the fire.

"Excuse me, but you can't come any closer…" one of the men came over when he saw Gibbs and Jenny start to go under the 'DO NOT CROSS' tape. Jenny glared her best 'Gibbs' glare as she responded.

"This is my house!" she said her voice just above her commanding level. The fireman looked at her and told her to wait just a minute. He made his way over to one of the police officers there and she and Gibbs watched as they talked for a moment.

The policeman came back towards them as the fireman went back to putting out the last of the flames.

"Jennifer Shepard, do we know how this started yet?!" She said obviously upset, Gibbs placed his hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. She turned and glared at him, if it were any other situation he would have laughed, but this was very serious.

"Sorry ma'am, as of yet all we have been trying to do is put out the fire. Once the flames are completely put out the department will search and see if they can find anything that could have started it…" he was about to continue when Jenny interrupted.

"How long?" she asked and the officer looked confused. "How long before I can go in?" she elaborated. Once again she was told to wait a minute as the officer went back over to the fireman they first talked to. He came back over to inform her of the wait.

"Ma'am, the house will not be cleared of the fumes for at least a week, no one can cross this tape until a week has passed at the least…"

"A week!" She said shocked and angered, could her week possibly get any worse.

"At the minimum, the fumes are extremely toxic to breath, we will let you know as soon as it is safe for you to enter again, I'm sorry ma'am that this has happened." He said, but Jenny was already walking back to Gibbs car.

"Don't take it personal." Gibbs said before handing over a NCIS card and telling them to call as soon as they find out what started the fire. After the fireman agreed, Gibbs too headed back towards his car.

"Take me back to work." Was all she said. Gibbs looked at her, but she was staring out the passenger side window. Not wanting to get into another argument, Gibbs starts the car and heads back to NCIS headquarters.

Over an hour later and Gibbs was going up to Jenny's office. He had gotten in a fight with the FBI again before her house caught fire, and he was up to see if she could do anything. He knew it would most likely not bode well, he knew she was in a bad mood, he just didn't realize how bad.

He had barely said two words before she lost her temper. He, wanting to defend himself quickly argued back, causing all hell to break lose. In the end she had kicked him out, and he stormed out with no complaint.

It was six o'clock when Gibbs sent his team home, not wanting to keep them any longer. After he had time to cool down, he realized he was in the wrong over getting so upset with Jenny, see had just lost her house and had no where to stay, of course she was going to be on edge. He knew he needed to ask where she was going to stay, wanting to offer her his house until she found one.

He opened her door slowly, and if looks could kill, he would have died right then and there.

"Hey Jen, just wondering where your going to stay tonight and for the time being." He said. Jenny glared at him and responded.

"I haven't decided yet." He almost smiled at those words, he had used them so many times before when she had asked him something he didn't want to answer.

"You can always stay with me ya know Jen."

Her head snapped up, thinking he was pitying her. She was still pissed off about their fight earlier. She knew she shouldn't be taking her frustration out on Gibbs over her house fire, but she also knew, he was the only one who wouldn't take it personal, at least she thought he wouldn't.

"I don't need your help!" her voice was cold and it made Gibbs almost as angry as she was.

"Suit yourself." And he walked out of her office and headed home.

Jenny packs her stuff up wanting to get to Ziva's house relatively early. When she arrived she knocked on the door and waited.

"Shalom Jenny." Ziva greeted and Jenny smiled.

"Shalom Ziva, I was wondering if I could stay here for a bit?" she asked, Ziva would have allowed her to stay without a problem, had she not heard the argument between her friend and boss today. Ziva grinned in her mind as she saw this as a perfect opportunity.

"I am actually getting my house fumed this week, so no one can be in the house, I'm sorry Jenny." Ziva said hoping to convince her friend. Jenny however saw right through it and was a little hurt as well as upset that her friend wasn't going to let her stay with her.

"I see." She said playing along "I'll just go stay with Abby. Thanks anyways Ziva." Jenny waves and makes her way to her car. Ziva feels both guilty and bad for lying to her friend, but she believes that in the end her friend will be much happier, as well as her boss. She waits until Jenny's car pulls away from the curb and calls Abby.

"Hello?" Abby's voice comes through.

"Abby, it is Ziva…"

"Ziva! What's up?" Abby asked knowing there was something that was causing Ziva to call.

"Jenny's going to be over there shortly, you need to tell her that I am spending the week at your house because mine is getting fumed…"

"Why?!"

"Because, she is going to ask you if she can stay there for the week…"

"So?"

"Did you not hear the fight between Gibbs and her today?!" She asked thinking everyone at NCIS could have heard it.

"Mommy and Daddy got in another fight?!"

"Yes, this is why I told Jenny no to staying at my house. Where do you think she will go next if both you and I tell her no?" Ziva asked and could have sworn she heard Abby's huge smile through the phone.

"Ziva you're brilliant!"

"Thank you Abby, just make sure to make it believable…"

"Crap, I gotta go, she's here, don't worry I can lie!" Abby said as she hung up. Ziva sighed knowing that Abby could not even come close to lying when it came to Jenny and Gibbs.

"Jenny!" Abby greeted

"Hello Abby. I know this may seem like I'm imposing, but would you mind if I stayed here for a bit?" She watched as Abby tried very hard to make a face like she was sad, but in effect she was smiling. 'Damn, Ziva already got to her!' She thought as Abby started talking.

"Jenny you know I would, but Ziva already asked if she can stay over for the week, something about getting her apartment fumigated. You know I would take you in, but there's no room, there's barely enough for Ziva and I. I'm sorry Jenny." Abby said, and to herself she thought it was very convincing, but looking at Jenny's face she knew she had failed.

"Okay, well I thought I should ask. Thanks anyways Abby." She kept her voice in check. She knew they were planning something, but she felt betrayed by both of her friends. She got back into her car and headed to the one place left she could stay. The thing was; she had straight up turned him down when he asked.

Arriving at Gibbs' house she waited in her car for a few minutes working up the nerve to go and ask him if the offer still stood, she knew it would, but she was still embarrassed.

She knocked on the door, knowing it would be unlocked, but too uneasy to just go in. A minute later Gibbs was opening the door. He looked shocked at first to see her, but then a grin set on his face knowing exactly why she was there.

"Hey ummm can I actually stay here?"

Gibbs almost laughed out loud at the way she was looking down at her hands when she asked; he had to make her suffer more.

"So…I take it you couldn't find somewhere else." Gibbs said and jenny got mad.

"Never mind, I'll go ask McGee…"

"McGee's not home, he's at his sisters for the weekend…"

"Fine, I'll stay with DiNozzo." She said and started walking away.

Gibbs was shocked and frightened so he ran after her and grabbed her arm pulling her back to the house and shutting the door behind them.

"If you don't want me here then I'll go ask DiNozzo, I'm sure he won't mind."

"No, I'm sure he wouldn't, he would be up all night gawking at you while you slept."

"Jealous much?" she teased.

"You wish." He said then turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Jenny was hurt by his putdown, so when he asked if she wanted a drink she replied. "No, I'm just really tired; you know having your house burnt down is pretty tiring so I'll just head to bed now, where are you sleeping?"

"Jen, its seven o'clock!"

"Yes, and I'm tired, so where are you sleeping?!"

"Couch."

"Fine, I'll take your room." And she walked away and down the hallway leading to his room.

"Night!" He shouted with irritation in his voice.

Jen didn't answer him, just set up camp and laid in bed reading her newest romance novel; Again the Magic.
