Hollis Mann did not like to be taken for a ride, probably why she was such a damn stick in the mud. This is not about her though, no this is about her man Jethro Gibbs and his first real love since his wife Shannon.

The tape had ended and Gibbs still sat on the stairs staring at her, she saw the guilt and pain in his eyes and after a minute spoke.

"If I dyed my hair blonde would you still have me Jethro?" she asked and he stared at her.

"Yes" he hesitated with his answer.

"Ever thought of having me as your wife even with blonde hair?" she asked and Jehro sighed and stood up and went to his boat keeping his back to her.

"Yes Hollis" he said and she kept up the questions.

It was about her tenth question that he kept up the repition of yes he had fazed out and Hollis grinned.

"Do you still love the director?"

"Yes" he said and stopped as she went to gather her things.

"Hey you tricked me"

"Does it matter, will your answer change"

"..." he had no answer as it was his first no and Hollis left.

Jethro sighed as he heard the car start and drive away but his mind was on his old partner and he sighed again.

He went upstairs and made a sandwich and took his laptop with him.

Jenny was thinking of Gibbs as well though as she sat in her fathers study and opened her laptop taking a sip of some brandy.

She logged into a chatroom and Gibbs old flame Stephanie showed up.

Jen sighed leaning back and closing her eyes and someone entered.

"Naomi I would like to be alone"

"Really Jen?"

Jen opened her eyes and then fell out of her chair in surprise and just before she hit the ground, he caught her.

"Be careful, we wouldn't want to replace you yet" Jethro said and stood holding her in his arms.

"Still on Jen? I need to use your computer" Jethro asked putting her down and fixing the chair to sit. Jen stood behind and wrapped her arms around him.
