Chapter 1: The Rope Is Laid Out

Flashback: January 1987

"That's it Rachel! We're over!" Henry yelled. Allison Jones looked up to her big brother with trembling lips and tears in her eyes. Henry… the fourth, enveloped his five year old sister in a hug; she cried softly into her brother, but was cut short when her mother tugged her arm. Allison looked up, and then was being softly dragged away, tears continued to shed as her family was being torn apart, and there was nothing she could do.

Allison cried and cried as her mother put her in the car, screaming for her father and older brother, Rachel tried to calm her daughter but it was no use, Allison continued to cry leaving the place she called home, at the time at least.

Present Day

Allison tapped her foot impatiently as she rode in the elevator, finally it dinged and she stepped off the elevator. Allison walked over to the bullpen and smiled lightly as she found DiNozzo hunched over his desk eating what looked like leftover Chinese food. "Skip breakfast, Agent DiNozzo?"

Tony looked up and shuffled his chair back a little in surprise, he then gulped down the rest of his food and spoke, "yes, if you must know, Ms. Hart, I did." His eyes widened when another familiar brunette stepped up behind Allison without her noticing, wearing jeans, graphic tee, jacket, and boots with her ear phones plugged in, music loud, and sucking down a CafPow! "Oh my gosh! Probie! Hide me! There's two of them!" Tony shouted to McGee and got up to run behind McGee's desk.

"Are you joking, Tony? Scared of brunettes are we?" Ziva said standing up.

"If it's counting you, yes." He said.

Sophia busted out laughing which finally caught Allison's attention and turned around. Her eyes widened and she cocked her head to the side, "who are you?" Allison asked.

Sophia looked at the woman as she spoke, she looked very familiar to her but it would have to have been years for them not to recognize each other. She popped out an ear bud and pressed pause on her iPod. "Whatcha say?"

"Who are you?" Allison asked again.

"Sophia Jones. And you?" She asked the woman.

"Awww Sophia! Honey! It's your Aunt Allison!" She hugged the girl and McGee, Tony, and Ziva all froze. Allison Hart was Sophia's what?

"Aunt Allison? Oh my gosh I have seen you since I was little!" She hugged Allison tight and released the hug, "wait… no way! You're the lawyer Tony was telling me about? The one who totally wanted to have Gibbs bang her?" Allison's eyes flared, DiNozzo said what?

Allison turned around slowly to DiNozzo, "you said what to my niece, Agent DiNozzo?"

"Well… I…" he fumbled on his words and glared past her at Sophia, "why did you tell her?"

"The truth's gotta come out some time, Tony, besides what you said is probably true." Allison snapped back around.

"Sophia!"

"Hey look me in the eye and tell me it's not true… OW! Gibbs!" She glared as Gibbs walked on by after Gibbslapping her. "Not. Cool." She made a brood face and sat down at DiNozzo's desk.

Allison composed herself and walked over to Gibbs' desk, "hello, Mr. Gibbs." She said in the little tone she always uses towards him.

"Ms. Hart, what exactly are you doing here today? Bothering my team for fun? Having a family reunion?"

"Very cute, Mr. Gibbs, actually, you main suspect has hired me as his new lawyer, so we'll be working closely again." Allison grinned.

"Yeah… just how she wants you and her… close." Sophia said, putting her feet up on Tony's desk.

"Shut up, Sophia." Allison said.

"Oh please…" She said and started drinking the rest of her CafPow!

Allison looked over at her niece, "Sophia, could I talk to you?"

"Before or after you stop thinking about Gibbs kissing you?" She asked, a smirk playing on her lips.

Allison glared, "I am not thinking that, so lets go."

"I know, it's still entertaining. We're off to Gibbs's office." She stood.

"Mr. Gibbs doesn't have an… oh I get it," Allison started towards the elevator with her niece.

The elevator doors opened with a ding and the brunettes stepped inside, Sophia looked at her aunt and sighed, "so, you're probably wondering how I know them." She said to Allison.

"Yes, I am." Allison replied

"Aunt Allison, I've know Team Gibbs since I was ten, back when it was just Tony and Gibbs. Soon after that Kate joined the team, then McGee, then Kate… died and Ziva replaced her. That's when Aunt Jen came back into my life, and Gibbs'. They used to be partners when she had first joined, they fell in love and flash-forward to when I was about thirteen, they got back together, and I moved into Aunt Jen's house. This, wow, was the happiest I had ever seen Aunt Jen, when she died, part of me and I bet part of Gibbs died with her. He was so cold, especially after…"

"After what, honey?" Allison asked putting a hand on Sophia's shoulder.

"After Ducky did the autopsy on Aunt Jen's body…" she started to tear up, "he found out that she was around two and a half months pregnant, he had an OB/GYN double check the dead fetus and he confirmed it…" Sophia started to wipe some tears from her eyes, "I always wanted a little cousin, I wonder if she knew she was pregnant."

A small gasp escaped Allison as she heard Sophia's words, "I'm sorry, Sophia," she hugged the younger brunette tight, "I'm a phone call away, sweetheart," she whispered into Sophia's ear, "you're not alone."

Sophia smiled weakly and released the hug, "thanks," she said and put the elevator back to life.

When they returned back to the bullpen Sophia looked at them, "so, do you want the short or long version of my jacked up family tree?"

Gibbs glared, "what do you think, Sophia?"

"Fine… fine… short it is…" she took a deep breath before she began, "my dad and Aunt Allison are brother and sister, my grandparents divorced, grandma's last name is Hart and Aunt Allison went to live with her, there, end of story." Sophia noticed that DiNozzo was still over by McGee's desk and collapsed in his chair once more.

"Can we get on with the case now?" Gibbs asked, Sophia stood back up and glared at him.

"Yes, Gibbs you can, I'm out of here, I'll leave you guys to the case," she hugged Allison and started for the elevator.

"Sophia, wait!" McGee said.

"What McGee?" She asked him and walked over to his desk.

"You have a sister?" He looked up at her completely confused.

"Half…" she mumbled underneath her breath.

"Ah… Cheyenne," Allison said, light bulb going off in her head.

"Yeah, why do you need to point this out McGoo?" She asked him.

"She's a witness in our case."

Sophia grimaced, "okay, now I'm really out of here." Sophia said, completely and utterly pissed off.

"No," Allison said, she needed to tell her niece the truth, now that she had stepped back into her life earlier than she had thought.

"And why the Hell not?" Sophia asked glaring.

"Because you're needed here, Sophia," a voice said from behind her.

She turned around slowly, still glaring and her jaw dropped, "oh my God…"

"Your father's my client, Sophia." Allison said.
