Dakota kicked at the dirt as she waited for the last bus of the day, sighing heavily she leaned back against the phone pole. Curfew was three hours ago, so she knew there would be no point in standing in front of her foster home waiting for nobody to open the door for her.

The wind howled with angst as the scent of rain filled the air. Dakota took a deep breath before kicking at the sidewalk, all she wanted was to go to sleep. Her head still buzzed from the 6 pack she had drank a couple hours earlier. Huffing in aggravation at mostly herself she trudged down the dark road.. unwillingly mind you as the dark was never one of her favorites.

Thunder crackled loudly and suddenly in the sky.. making Dakota jump out of her skin.. muttering profanities under her breath she decided to drop in to a outcast diner that apparently was open at this hour.

Tripping on the mat as she stepped through the door, the bell chiming loudly as her face flushed in embarrassment. Well at least she didn't completely fall on her face.. looking around she noticed there was a young couple sitting in the corner booth making out probably in their late 20's and an older man maybe late 40's early 50's sitting on a stool at the counter, trudging over slightly dizzy as the effects of alcohol were slowly wearing off she took a seat 2 stools down from the man.

The waitress came over look of confusion written all over her face. " May I help you?" she asked

Dakota rolled her eyes " Would I be here if you couldn't?"

The waitress pealed her eyes slightly " What can i get for you" She spat out, as respectfully as possible.

"water" Dakota replied copying the waitresses tone

" That's it?"

"Hmm.. How about a menu.. guessing what y'all have here doesn't suit me well" Dakota angrily muttered.

The waitress licked her finger before handing Dakota a menu. " You have money?"

" No I was planning on paying in sexual favor... OF course i have money woman" Dakota huffed... not have money... who did this lady think she was. Ordering a waffle and bacon off the menu she began to rummage through her back pack for her wallet. Opening it up she went to take a 20 dollar bill out when she remembered she used her last bit of cash to buy the beer. " fuck.." she muttered under her breath stomach growling intensely. She looked around at her options.

Looking around she noticed the man beside her had his head buried in a newspaper no wallet in sight.. so that was a no go. Smiling to herself she looked over at the young couple, still sucking face the girls bag clearly had fell from the edge of the booth on to the ground right beside the bathroom door. Waiting for the waitress to go outback again to make her move. Slipping off her stool she walked casually over to the bathroom.. foot knocking in to the bag on the ground silently moving it closer to the door and out of view to the young couple. Smirking she scooped it up and slid in to the bathroom stall.

" Bingo" she smiled happily as she counted out 100 smackeroons and shoved them in to her pocket. Standing up and leaving the bag on the hook in the bathroom and strut out of the stall with a 20 in her hand..

*cough*

Eyes wide she looked up to see the older man.. " what the hell are you doing in here! This is the woman bathroom!" pointing to the door she stared straight at the man eyes and spat " Get out!"

Grabbing the girls wrist between his thumb and index finger he used his other hand to point to the bill. " This.. does not belong to you" he spoke quiet yet a rough tone...

Trying to snatch her wrist back.. was useless the man had a strong hold on her. " What are you stalking me now! Let me go creep!" Hissing slightly as the hold tightened

" No.. not stalking.. being a special agent and not noticing when a childish little girl is stealing from others.. wouldn't make me out to be very good at my job now would it."

Eye's widening as her cheeks flushed pink, swallowing hard she glared daggers at the man " So what you gonna arrest me?"

Shaking his head "Nope" reaching in tot he stall and yanking out the bag from off the hook he opened it up with one hand and pulled out the wallet. " I am going to make sure that this.. AND the money are returned."

Upper lip threatening to snarl, eyes shooting daggers at the bag in question. " Fine. Whatever. Here."

Shaking the 20$ between her fingers of the wrist that was still firmly held.

Taking it he nodded.. then pointed at her " and the rest"

patting her pants and arms she looked back up at him " That was it"

Yanking her by the wrist so that she was now face to face.. noses almost touching he tried not to smirk as her eyes widened the most they had all night "If i have to look for it for you... the consequences will not be fun... Got me?"

Nodding her head slightly she reached in to her back pocked and pulled out the rest of the money, slapping it none to gently in the man outstretched hand. " Happy" she growled

"Ecstatic" he drawled out.

Spinning the girl around to face the door and grabbing a hold of her upper arm he led her out of the bathroom.. only to have her stand right at the couples booth. The couple looked up flushed and peckish.

Jerked forward she looked up at the man who only nodded his head towards the couple.. knowing what he wanted her to do... she sighed heavily before slamming the bag down on the table along with the money and wallet "Here.. I found this in the bathr-" cut off with a loud cough she fixed her story " I was attempting to take your money. Now im giving it back" she huffed and chewed on the inside of her lip.

" And" the man spoke

" And what? i gave it back" she cried

" How about an apology"

" FINE, I'm sorry for stealing your things." grumbling and staring at the floor and tried to yank her arm free.

The couple nodded their heads silently noticing the tension between the two people in front of them and watched as the man dragged the girl beside him and then in to a stool.

"What are you doing" Dakota asked as the was roughly placed in her stool, watching as he sat right beside her.

Pointing to the plate of food in front of her as he sipped from a mug of coffee " Eat"

"But..i" being cut off once again by piercing blue eyes staring directly in to her soul.. she picked up her fork and began eating.

The two of them sat in utter silence they focused on the task at hand... Dakota's bacon and waffle eating and the man's coffee drinking and news paper reading.

"um... I should... probably.. uh go now" Dakota stuttered an stood up from her stool... which didn't last long because she was pushed right back down.

"Sit" the man barked.

"Bu-" growling as she was cut off again this time by one finger being held up.

" Name" he asked,

chewing her bottom lip she refused to look at the man or answer any of his questions. She twiddled her fork through her fingers..before that was roughly grabbed from her hands and pushed to the side. Glaring down at the counter in front of her she stood her ground.

"You have about 3 seconds to answer my question" he warned clearly getting annoyed with the girls insolence.

" How do i know you are really a special agent. And special agent for what.. maybe you are just a creepy old man." refusing to look at the man she continued to stare down. But jumped slightly as a badge and ID was slammed down in front of her.

"Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs...Interesting" she muttered pushing it back towards him.

Getting annoyed of her lack of answers he grabbed her back pack.. ignored the shout she gave as he grabbed it and gave her a warning look when she attempted to lunge for it.

"Dakota Rae Tyson.. Age 14" he pulled out the contents of her bag.. including the last unopened can of beer she was saving for later. Raising an eyebrow and set the contents out on the counter. So far he had her school ID , pencil case, hairbrush , wallet, hoodie, can of beer, and a bus ticket.

" Its rude to go through other people things" she grumbled watching the man dump out her things.

" Its also illegal for a minor to be drinking. And unsafe for a 14 year old girl to be out at 2:30AM unsupervised" he barked staring at her again "Where's your house?" he demanded.

Unsuccessfully trying to hide her yawn the muttered "Dont have one" taking a sip from her water that sat in front of her only to have some dribble down her chin as her face was grabbed between two finger and thrust to look at Gibbs.

" Do you really want to be here all night long. Because I sure as hell don't" he whispered in to her face

"Nobody is forcing you Oh so Special Agent Gibbs" she flashed him a cheeky smile.. which she instantly regretted as she was roughly lifted to her feet. Throwing the money down on the table and stuffing Dakota things back in to her bag he dragged the reluctant teen out the door and pushed her in to the back seat of his car.

" Where are we going!" she practically yelled.

" To the police station.. don't want to answer my questions maybe you will answer theirs."
