AN1. This is my first fic abot NCIS and ever. Actually, I'v made it two years ago, but it took some time and courage to let it see the world. Please, forgive my mistakes, it's just English is not my native.
Chapter 1 is rather short but its important. Its set after S9.
O, and I don't own NCIS, just borrowd characters.
Love has its own rules
About a week after the explosion at NCIS.
Chapter 1. Recovering.
That was a warm summer morning, the beginning of a new working week. Gibbs was seating at his table drinking coffee and watching the awakening of office life. Initially empty place slowly started to fill with chatting people, rustling piles of papers, clicking sounds of elevator and bright sunlight. There was a smell of fresh painting still slightly sensible in the air. Everything was returning in its own places.
Making another sip of coffee, the man heaved a sigh, remembering all that damage after the explosion. Unfortunately, you can't get away from you past with just a renovation. It'll remind you about itself over and over again with memories, dreams and thoughts. He is the one to know that for sure. He had to big collection of losses and regrets, and way too many scars on his heart.
Lost in thoughts, Gibbs seemed to be so distant from surrounding fuss that he didn't notice the arriving of his team. That was DiNozzo's greeting that draw boss's attention. Jethro nodded, watching the three of them starting their routine: Ziva' s checking mail, Tony's checking the latest GSM and Tim's dully tapping. Seems like nothing have changed for the past eight years of their joint work. Although…
Ziva looked questioningly at Tony pointing at Gibbs with her gaze. DiNozzo traced her point and shrugged his shoulders. Their boss never was a talker but today he was strangely silent. Even MCGee distracted himself from his computer stuff and joined the silent dialogue of cowokers. But soon the all of them were distracted by the call.
'Yes, director. We're on our way,' answered Gibbs, throwing Ziva the car-keys. Breaking down, he took his gun and headed for the elevator surrounded with the rest of the team.
AN 2. So, should there be the whole story? Please, do review.
