A/N: Sorry for it being so short. This is a spinoff of my Criminal Minds story. Please review and feel free to recoment ideas. Enjoy. ^^


The elevator door opened to allow the team entrance to their office. A tall burnet male walked over to his desk while talking to another tall burnet by the name McGee. I sat, with my feet up on the desk, at the desk across from McGee's own desk. A long dark haired woman walked in and sat at the desk next to the one I was at. She was talking with the first tall burnet male. A gray haired man, who still looked good for his age, was behind her. Upon seeing me he smiled and walked over to me. Knocking my feet off his desk he made his way around to take his seat back. I rose from the chair and stood shoulder high to this man. A smile spread across our features as we embraced each other. This action made the others fall silent and look our way.

"When did you get in?" The gray haired man questioned.

"Just a little while ago; Vance told me you would be back soon." I responded.

"Hey Boss, who is this," The tall burnet male questioned.

Just then the elevator dinged again for a spunky black haired gothic woman. She dashed over to us and instantly hugged me. Wrapping my arms around her slightly taller frame I told her that it was good to see her again. Another ding of the elevator and a man about my height, who was about the same age as the gray haired man, exited. I smiled at my friend as he made his way over to us. The gothic young woman was talking so rapidly that it started to go in one ear and out the other. Hugging the man that had just joined us I heard the chairs of the three others move allowing them to get up.

"DiNozzo, McGee, David this is my old friend-"

"Don't call me old Sarg." I smugly stated.

"Sarg?" Everyone asked.

"We fought together in Iraq. He was my commanding officer back then. Oh by the way, do you mind if I shack up at your place till I can find a place of my own? Kind of a sudden move here," I stated while looking away from the group and to the gray haired man.

He smiled and tossed me his keys. Catching the keys in mid-air, I nodded towards the gray haired man and walked towards the elevator. As I walked past DiNozzo I winked and walked off. Once in the elevator I waved to the small crowd before the doors closed. I arrived at his house and let myself in. He hadn't changed it since the last time I had taken refuge on his couch. Smiling I put my things down by the couch and headed for the basement. A light chuckle escaped my lips as the frame of a sail boat came into view.

The next morning when I had awaked the smell of breakfast filled my nostrils. I got up and headed for the kitchen. My sargent was stationed at the stove cooking what smelled like eggs and bacon. Walking as silently as a cat, I approached him from behind.

"Mornin' Sarg," I smiled as I placed a hand on his shoulder. "You workin' today?"

"Yeah and how many times must I tell you to not call me Sarg anymore?"

"Lost count and stopped caring. Well thanks for the place LJ. I owe you one. Sorry you had to go and make-"

"You're toast is done. I'm not cooking for you. I do remember your eating habits." LJ smiled.

"Right; thanks for the toast then." I stated as I grabbed my toast and left the house.

The elevator rang out signaling that it had reached its level. As the doors opened LJ exited the confines of the steel cage to enter the confines of the office. DiNozzo, McGee, and David were already at their desks. David, being the newest member of the team, handed LJ his black coffee as he walked by. Me, I was stuck in the director's office getting a lecture about how it would be a bad idea for me to work with them. Rolling my eyes I stood up and headed for the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" The director snapped.

"We already know that you're going to give me the job so I'm saving us some time and going to go to my team. I'll be happy to take the case file if you want." I sighed as I opened the door.

Shaking his head he just gave me the case file and sent me out. Smiling I headed down to where the team was. As I walked into their view I noticed that all eyes were on me. I walked over to LJ and dropped the file on his desk. Looking up from his computer we locked eyes.

"Ten dollars Gibbs yells at her." DiNozzo sneered.

"Twenty dollars says the girl just walks away." David responded.

"What's-"LJ started.

"I want the desk." I stated as all eyes were on me again but this time in shock.

"Excuse me?"

"I said I want the desk."

"Who do you think you're talking to?" LJ snapped.

"My partner. Director Vance just made me the same rank as you." I lightly sneered.

Gibbs looked up to see the director looking down at us. He nodded a simple yes when I looked back. Sighing Gibbs stated, "We'll share the desk till we get you your own."

"Since when do we ever share anything? Come on Jethro, you know me better than that. Oh and that's a case file." I slyly smiled.
