A/N: I know you're gonna yell at me, I have other stories to update/publish and shiz but this idea wouldn't leave me alone and I wanted to pursue it. Now as much as everyone is entitled to their opinion if I see Ellie hate *waves fists* just kidding. I happen to like Ellie Bishop and I hope this story may sway people's opinions maybe? I dunno. It's a pipe dream.

Anyway, enjoy everyone!

Prologue

Ellie Bishop took a deep breath and sipped her coffee. The hustle and bustle all around her didn't distract her though, she had her eyes set on the man across the street sitting at a table, drink in hand, looking around and waiting. Ellie swallowed and tried not to appear too obvious.

"Now when he looks like he's distracted Bishop, make the drop." The voice of Leroy Jethro Gibbs flooded through her ear-mic.

"On it boss." She lowered her voice and waited another moment before her trained eyes and her mind told her to walk across the street to where the man was. She quickly disposed of her coffee cup and pulled her jacket tighter around her body. The DC air was a bit chilly for that time of year. She went, step by step across the busy street and found herself in front of the man's table.

"Nice day isn't it?" she asked with a coy smile.

"That it is young lady," the man smirked. "Can I buy you a drink?"

"No really it's alright, but if I could use your phone that'd be great," Ellie put on her best innocent act. "My battery died and I need to make an important call."

"Sure thing pretty lady." the man handed her a beat up flip phone and Ellie smiled before walking a bit away to "place her call". Ellie reached into her pocket and pulled out the bug Gibbs had instructed her to plant. She only paused when she heard the unmistakable click of a gun.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." The man smirked and Ellie put her hands up. She wasn't afraid, but for some reason she figured if she acted afraid he'd take pity maybe.

"Same to you bub." Special Agent Tony DiNozzo pointed a gun at the back of his head and the man immediately scowled. Agents Gibbs and Timothy McGee were on him too as fearful pedestrians ran away from the scene.

The man dropped the gun and was soon in handcuffs. Gibbs and McGee walked him towards their car while Tony and Bishop walked close behind them.

"Nice work out there rookie," Tony smiled at her, it was an award winning smile. "You make a good member of Team Gibbs."

"Thank you Tony," Bishop smiled back. "Good to know."

Tony nodded and ran off towards his car to start it. Bishop watched as he put the keys into the ignition and motioned for her to hurry up. Bishop smirked and hopped into the passenger seat, buckling up and watching as Tony blasted the radio, singing loudly and laughing as he drove behind Gibbs to NCIS headquarters. Bishop couldn't help but stare and laugh along with him.

-NCIS – NCIS – NCIS – NCIS – NCIS – NCIS –

Bishop settled in at her desk and waited for her next instruction. The guy they had in custody was busy waiting to be interrogated by Gibbs who currently was instructing his team as he walked off.

"DiNozzo," Gibbs barked out his orders. "Records on this guy. Go."

"On it boss!" Tony started typing at his computer.

"McGee," Gibbs said. "Priors, anything else on him. Bank records and such."

"Yes boss." McGee nodded.

"Bishop," Gibbs said. "Coffee run then paperwork."

"Yes Gibbs." She said, she felt weird calling him boss. He was so much older than her.

Gibbs smiled and walked off towards interrogation. Bishop quickly delved into the guy's paperwork sneaking occasional glances at Tony who was too engrossed in his work to notice her. She wanted to tell him the truth so badly it hurt. Every time she looked at him it ached. She felt so bad keeping it a secret for so long, but the more she thought about it the worse time it seemed to be to finally just tell him.

She dived her nose back into the paperwork. She could wait another seventeen years.

Read and Reviews are appreciated every single one will be read!

So? What does Ellie want to tell Tony?

And seventeen years…she hasn't known him that long? Or has she?

(I know what you are all are thinking no I am NOT pairing her with Tony. This is going to be different. I know this prologue may have been a bit confusing, but the story will get clearer as it goes on.)

More to come soon guys!
