Chapter 1: Alive with a family

"Mama?" Four-year-old Kachiri Haswari-Todd's voice called. "What is it, baby?" Her mother, Caitlin 'Kate' Todd responded. "Who's Agent Gibbs?" Kate stopped. How does Kachiri know him? She walks into the living room where Kachiri is sitting with a photo album opened in front of her.

The photos are of everyone at NCIS. Tony, Gibbs, Abby, Tim, Jenny, Ducky and even Palmer! "Those are pictures of the people mama used to work with after the secret service.", says Kate. "Really?" Says Kachiri, her eyes glistening with curiosity. Kate nods, then begins to tell Kachiri all about them.

She tells her about Paraguay, the first time she met the team and everything leading up to four years ago, when Kate and Kachiri's father, Ari, faked their deaths and adopted baby Kachiri. "Whoa," says Kachiri. "That's so cool!" Kate chuckles as Kachiri runs down to the basement, no dout to play her favorite game, Beyond Two Souls, on the PS3.

How Kachiri managed to figure that out, Kate may never know.
