Prologue

It was just a normal day. Abby and McGee were down in her lab "visiting". Ziva was finishing up paperwork in the bullpen with Gibbs. And who knows where Tony is. Gibbs grabbed his coffee and started towards the elevator. Ziva didn't ask partly because Gibbs leaves all the time, but mostly because she learned not to. Just as Gibbs got to the elevator, a teenage girl burst out, running into Gibbs, promptly spilling his coffee all over his shirt.

Chapter 1

Ziva's P.O.V.

Ziva gasped. You don't mess with Gibbs's coffee. Whoever this girl was, she got off on the wrong hand with him…or was it foot?

"Um…I am so sorry for dumping your coffee, agent….?" She trailed off, her eyes searching for a name tag.

"Gibbs… Agent Gibbs." When she didn't say anything, he went on."Can I help you with anything, miss?"

"Oh, um, yeah. I am looking for Special Agent Timothy McGee. DO you know where I can find him?

Gibbs signaled for her to follow him. She did, hesitantly. As they passed by, Ziva noticed she was carrying a small envelope and an photo, but she could she not see what it was. She was curious as to what those were, but she decided not to ask.

Gibbs P.O.V.

I felt a burning on my chest. Did she just spill my coffee? I was almost tempted to headslap her. I watched her stutter and apologize. She asked for my name.

"Gibbs…Agent Gibbs.", I said. Silence. I asked her if she needed help. She said she needed to see Agent McGee. McGee…what did he do now? I motioned for her to follow me. It wasn't until I got into the elevator did I notice what was in her hands. I asked her about the envelope.

It was like a bomb went off in her personality. "It is for McGee and McGee only, Agent Gibbs." She said it with such force it surprised me. It was no longer the shy little voice of the teenager. It reminded Gibbs of someone, but he couldn't figure it out.

They arrived at Abby's lab. Music was blasting, as usual. He noticed the girl winced at the sound of the music. When they walked in, McGee and Abby were laughing over Caf-Pow and coffee.

"McGee!" I yelled, scaring them half to death. "Someone's here to see you." I turned around to point her out, but she was gone. Suddenly, the music stopped. The mystery girl walked away from the stereo.

"It was gicing me a headache. So I turned it off." Abby looked pissed! Nobody, except maybe the director, turned off her music. "Can the two of you leave, Agent Gibbs? I need to speak to Agent McGee alone. Boy, I thought, she needs an attitude check. "Please?" she added. I looked at abby warning her that we would be leaving. She sighed in defeat. We left.

McGee's P.O.V.

Gibbs walked in, basically catching Abby and I on our…well…"date". He appeared out of to brush it off…At least I hope he did. He said I had a visitor. Next thing I knew, Abby's music turned off. A semi-tall teenage girl with dark brown hair and glowing green eyes appeared. She explained she had a headache and it had to turn it off. Wow. This girl obviously did not know who Abby was or what she could do.

"Can the two of you leave, Agent Gibbs? I need to speak with Agent McGee alone." As they turned to leave, I wished that they didn't. This girl sort of scared me. She could control Gibbs. We heard a very distinctive *ding* of the elevator and she turned to me. Wordlessly, she handed me an envelope. Inside was a letter.

And what I read made me stare at her in complete and utter shock.
