It was normal day at NCIS. The team was just working on cold cases. Tony, Ziva, and McGee were sitting at their desk looking through the files while Gibbs was off somewhere, probably getting coffee.
Tony's phone rang. "DiNozzo." He answered.
Agent DiNozzo, there's a young lady and her brother here to see you. The security guard told him.
"Ok, well send them up." Tony responded.
Yes, sir. The security guard said and then the call was ended.
Tony sat there and tried to think of women who knew where he worked that would come and see him, much less someone who had a brother. After about a minute or so, he heard the ding of the elevator and saw an agent escorting a girl that looked to be in her early to late twenties and a boy who couldn't be more than a teenager.
The girl smiled as she spotted Tony and stopped the agent escorting her. "I think I can take it from here." She told him. "Thank you."
She looked familiar but Tony couldn't place where he knew her from. Had he gone on a date with her? He didn't always tell his dates where he worked, and they usually didn't come to NCIS to see him, so that couldn't be it. But as she walked closer he remembered.
"Samula?" Tony asked jumping up out of his chair. McGee and Ziva looked up when he said that.
The girl nodded. "How ya been, Tony?" She asked walking over to his desk.
Tony walked around his desk and pulled her into a one arm hug. "Pretty good. But how are you? I haven't seen you in ages." He stated looking at her.
"Samantha!" McGee sang her name as he made his way over to her. "What are you doing here?" He questioned pulling her away from Tony and hugging her himself.
"Needed something new in my life, so to speak, so I decided to move up here." She told them.
Tony then pointed to the boy she was with. "We robbing the cradle these days, Samula?"
Sam slapped Tony in the chest. "No, DiNozzo." She snarked. "This is my brother, Ethan."
Tony rubbed his chest, then he and McGee introduced themselves to her brother. "Oh, don't worry. Sam's already told me all about you guys." Ethan laughed. "It was all good, well most of it anyway."
McGee and Tony laughed. Then they heard someone clear their throat.
Tony jumped a bit. "Oh, Sam, sorry, this is Ziva David. She's the one that took Kate's place on our team." He introduced.
"Nice to meet you." Sam said walking over to Ziva's desk with her hand extended. "Samantha Todd. I'm Kate's cousin."
"Sorry for your lose." Ziva said as she shook Sam's hand.
"Thank you." Sam nodded. "But, I'm sure you do just as a good of job at keeping these guys in line as she did."
Ziva laughed. "Yeah, I kick them back into shape when I need to."
"Don't you mean 'whip'?" Sam corrected.
"No, she means kick." Tony laughed. "She was in Mossad."
"Ah. I see." Sam sighed. "Where's Gibbs?" She then asked.
"Right here, Sam." Gibbs said from behind the crowd.
Sam ran over and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Gibbs!" She exclaimed.
When she finally let go, Gibbs gave her a slight glare. "What are you doing here?" He asked her.
"Needed to move, so why not D.C.?" She replied.
Gibbs laughed, kissed on her head, and then walked to his desk.
Time elapsed….
Abby was working on something for another team in her lab. Music blaring, she was slightly dancing around while she waited for results.
"Do they allow you dress that like here?" She heard a voice ask from the door.
Abby turned to see Samantha with some teenage boy standing there smiling at her.
"Sammy!" She squealed and flew to give her a hug. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"I wanted to surprise everyone." Sam told her as they got out of the hug. "This is my brother, Ethan." She then introduced. "He's going to be living with me up here."
"You're moving here?" Abby asked with glee. "Do you have an apartment already?"
"No, not yet." Sam told her. "But, Tony has offered to let us stay with him till I find a place."
Abby nodded. "Well, that's nice of him." She said.
The girls talked about some of the new things that were going on in their lives since they had talked last.
Time elapsed….
Hours later, Sam and Ethan walked back into the bullpen to wait with the team for the rest of the day.
Ziva noticed that Samantha wasn't sitting still, and she was biting on her nails.
"So, Samantha right?" Ziva asked.
"Yeah, but I prefer Sam." She suggested.
Ziva nodded. "Alright then, how do you know the team?" She asked.
"I use to come spend my summers with Kate while she was alive." Sam explained. "Haven't been here since though."
"Were you and Kate close?" Ziva questioned.
"Yeah, she was like my big sister." Sam told her.
Ziva nodded again. "I'm really sorry." She said softly.
"Well, it's not like you shot her so, why should you be sorry." Sam laughed.
Ziva just smiled and went back to her work.
Time elapsed….
The end of the day came and Tony took Sam and Ethan over to his apartment and got them settled.
"Thanks, Tony for letting us stay with you." Sam said.
"Don't mention it." Tony told her. "Least I could do for Kate's favorite cousin." He gave her the famous DiNozzo smile.
She smiled back. "Well, what are sleeping arrangements?" Sam then asked.
"I have a two bedroom apartment, so I was thinking that maybe you could take the second room, and Ethan take the couch?" Tony suggested.
"Sounds good." Sam nodded.
Just then her phone rang. "Hello." She answered. "Oh, you do?… Where?... Alright I'll be there in 15 minutes."She hung up the phone and began to gather up her things to leave.
"Who was that on the phone?" Tony asked curiously.
"Oh, someone with an apartment." Sam told him and walked out the door.
Ethan watched her walk out the door and gave a heavy sigh.
"So, why didn't she take you?" Tony questioned as he turned to Ethan.
"Guess she wants to do the apartment picking on her own." Ethan shrugged.
Tony's gut told him there was something wrong about this, but he just chalked it up to her leaving her little brother out of things.
