Upsetting Mystery

A/N: First Jibbs story so be easy.

Jenny had never felt this way, it was so strange, but, not so foreign she just couldn't place it. Her thoughts were broken by none other than Leroy Jethro Gibbs, he was the only one who ever barged into her office, unannounced.

" What have you been doing!? I must have called you twenty times."

Jenny was in total shock at how much time had passed while she was thinking. How could she be so out of it, for goodness sakes, she is the director of N.C.I.S. That shouldn't happen EVER. So, there she sat staring, blankly, at Gibbs. She couldn't even force herself to look into his eyes because, she knew she would say anything and everything. That couldn't happen, too much might be revealed.

The drama and fights she could take, but, if she told him what was on her mind, she didn't think he would ever look at her again. She snapped out of her second trance that day, by Gibbs slamming his hands, so hard on her desk that it made a picture fall and break. Her assistant, Cynthia , came rushing in at the sound of glass breaking, but, Gibbs just growled at her to get out. Jenny was startled by his tone of voice, but, it was enough for her to react.

"Jethro, what the hell are you thinking, coming into MY office and Yelling. No growling at MY assistant! Also, you don't need to go breaking things went they aren't your's to break, Jethro."

Shell-shocked at Jenny snapping on him, after not talking for ten minutes, than just upped and went at it.

"Get out, I don't want to see you, again, until tomorrow unless I have to."

Gibbs didn't budge, he was used to her trying to boss him around. He would usually complied, but, something in her voice made him stay. He couldn't tell if it was anger or regret? What would she be regretting so, much, that she hadn't told him? Maybe it was about him, or he could be wrong, but, he rarely is.

"I SAID, GET OUT, JETHRO!"

He guessed no matter how much he could try to calm her, it wouldn't work. Something was definitely wrong, but, what killed him the most was that he didn't know what. Nonetheless, he, slowly walked out of the room, turned back, and broke a rule.

"I am, truly, sorry, Jen. I'll see you, around."

With that, he walked out of the office and down to his desk. He sent the rest of the team home, but, stayed just incase Jenny wanted to talk about everything, later that night. It was nearing midnight before he finally went home. Jenny came out about an hour and half later, looking exhausted, but, she knew she had to go home or else she would just crash on the couch. It was a comfy couch but, it just wouldn't do that night. She needed a good-nights rest then, she could fully operate later.

The Next Day

Everyone could tell that something was wrong when they walked into the building. The boys went down to check on Abby. They came back up two minutes later, with a worried Abby. Abby walked over to Ziva, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her to the director's office.

When they walked in, it was a sight that they were not expecting. They saw Jenny with her head on her desk, her eyes were closed, and she was crying in her sleep. This was a new sight for Abby, she had never seen mommy cry. Not even when her and daddy had a really big fight.

The girls didn't even know whether or not to wake her, or just walk away; like they didn't see a thing. That would have worked if Abby didn't run over, and hug Jenny until she calmed down, and woke up. Jenny was startled to wake up to Ziva and Abby staring at her with wide eyes. This went on for about another two minutes before the tears started to well up in her eyes, again. Abby helped her up, then walked her to the couch, where the girls tried to comfort her.

After a while Jenny finally started to calm down, but, not enough to talk. Ziva and Abby knew that it would take some time before Jenny even thought of telling anyone. Normally, Gibbs could get her to even out before the day was through, but, they knew better; Gibbs was the cause of this little break down. Things would be awkward between them now, but, they were always awkward around each other. This would be different though because it was most likely they wouldn't talk for a few days, Gibbs would send Tony or McGee to deal with her, and she would have Cynthia tell Gibbs if someone needed him.

Once the tears and stopped, and breathing was regular the two girls looked at each other behind the older woman's back, silently asking/ demanding that the other one speak first. Abby lost, and sighed, she really wasn't good at interrogating people, but, she could tell that it need to be done.

"Director, what is this about? I mean I have never seen you so, so, open with your emotions."

Jenny just looked at her and could tell that those two small sentences had taken a lot of courage from her part. But, she couldn't tell anyone, not yet anyway.

"Nothing, just too many emotions being held in, and they just all came out at once, I guess."

They all knew she was lying the moment the words slipped out of her mouth. Just like Jenny knew that if she didn't tell someone who she trusted, things would just pour out of her mouth, uncontrollably. So, she told the only people who she could trust at the moment, and who were close to her, her biggest secret, the one that could make her life better, or destroy the one she has now.
