Kelly Stanton exhaled deeply and looked at the walls of the grey elevator. She remembered the recent argument she had had with her mom.
"A cop? You cannot become one of those federal stooges! Become a doctor! It runs in the family!" her mom had shouted.
Well the the thing is Kelly didn't think it ran in the family. She never wanted to be a doctor. She had always felt as if she had a duty to stop the bad guys, and to help her country. At first she wanted to become a marine, but she was pretty sure her mother would keel over if she even looked at a recruiters office.
So she settled for a career of helping those in the service, NCIS, but when her mother heard this she turned a shade of purple Kelly had never seen.
"If this is some girlish dream to connect to your father..." Her father, Leroy jethro Gibbs, a United States Marine, she couldn't deny she missed him. He was deployed in desert storm when her mother was killed by those Mexicans she was testifying against. the only reason Kelly wasn't killed as well is that she had stayed after school to work on a project.
After she had heard the news Dolly Stanton, their next door neighbor rushed to pick up Kelly from school. Took her in and kept her until her father was to return from his tour, but Kelly could still remember the rainy day her new adopted mother told her that her grief stricken father had been killed in the line of duty.
This might be why she chose to become an NCIS agent, Kelly still wasn't sure why she did... it just felt right. So here she was turning in her application to become a probationary technically she had already been accepted, she was here for her assignment. She crossed her fingers and hoped to get assigned to the crime unit, they were famous, and caught almost every bad guy in the book, well she didn't know their names exactly, but she knew they were good anyways.
She arrived at the correct floor and entered the director's office he was on his phone at his desk. He quickly ended the conversation when he saw her, and picked up a manila folder.
"Ah Agent Stanton! Here is your assignment, I am pleased to tell you that even though it took some convincing the crime unit is willing to take you on as a full time probationary agent. You are to work under Agent Gibbs, he may seem intimidating but I promise he trains only the best, and it seems he think you have a lot of potential." He began.
" When do I start?!" Kelly asked trying not to freak out. She had after all just gotten the job of her dreams.
"Monday," replied Director Vance, "I look forward to working with you in the future." he finished, and stood up to shake her hand. Kelly shook his hand and picked up her phone after closing the door to his office.
"Hello?" came a voice on the line.
"JOHN!" she exclaimed! "I got the job on the crime unit!"
" That's amazing baby! So are you ready for me to pick you up? We can talk more about it at dinner after we visit the cemetery. Kelly was excited about that to. She had finally decided to go and visit her parents graves, and since her mom, who had never allowed her to go, was on vacation, she had convinced her boyfriend John to take her.
"That sounds great baby!" She replied. "See you in five!" She hung up the phone and glanced down at the cubicles on the lower level, at there desks sat three agents.
The woman sat searching for something on her computer and biting the end of her pencil. Across from her sat a man who was staring at her as if he was admiring her every feature, and the second man was wiring something on his computer. Kelly smiled at the team, who knew it might even be the one she was assigned to. As the grey doors shut once more to the elevator, she could here the first man cracking a joke, but his partners response was cut off by the closing of the doors.
