Disclaimer: Nothing recognizable belongs to me or brings me any profit. This includes the show "NCIS" and its characters. Author's Notes: This is the first NCIS fic I've written, nervous and I actually have only been watching since this summer, so I might have gotten some details wrong. I apologize in advance. This is for a claim over at LJ... The prompt for each fic is a song. They're more 'ficlets' than 'fics'... they'll all be around 300 words or so, posted in chronological order. This one's song is "Party Starter" (Will Smith). I just imagined this kind of music would be playing in the background. Time period: just before Tony joins NCIS. Reviews would be nice, especially 'cause I have no clue whether I can/should write NCIS or not.
Count Him In
The hip-hop playing at the cop bar was loud, the voices needed to be louder. "So, you're the new director over at NCIS."
"Yes." The new voice, though feminine, was equally loud and assertive.
"And you want me to think about joining?"
"Yes."
Why can't she just say 'yeah', like a normal person? At least she's hot, or I wouldn't be wasting my time here. I'm a cop, through and through. "You don't waste words, do you Director?"
"No." Accompanied with a smirk and confidently leaning back in her chair and tilting her head to the right side just a few centimeters, the light radiated off her hair, mesmerizing and bewitching him.
He should have left right then. He was happy with his salary. He was happy as a cop. "Why should I join NCIS?"
"We're the best." Another smirk, no, this time it was a genuine smile. She tilted her head to the left and he felt his eyes following that smile.
"That's what they all say. Now, I've gotten plenty-a offers…"
It was a half-hearted statement, she knew he was just fishing for reasons not to join. She wasn't going to give him any chances to slip away. "No, you haven't."
Caught in the act. Shoot. "Who says I need a new job?"
"I'm trying to build up a new team from scratch, most of the old guys left. I've got the best team leader, the best forensics lab and technician, the best coroner, and the best field agents available. We need a good agent who knows the area well, whose got good instincts. I think it's you."
"I like the way you think, Director. Count me in."
