Enjoy!
"Hello, Miss. This is Jenny Shepard, the director of the NCIS. We heard from one of your teachers that you are about to visit us in the upcoming week to find out about security history in the USA. Is that right?"
"Yes, it is."
"Well, your teacher said that this is very important to you."
"And she was right. I guess my history teacher was calling?"
"I think so. So can you tell me, please, when are you coming?"
"I was thinking to leave London tomorrow so I would visit NCIS the day after tomorrow."
"That sounds great. We'll be expecting you. Have a nice flight."
"Thank you ma'am."
"No problem, Ann. See you."
"Yes, see you."
She hung up and I had to call my teacher to thank her. When I was just about to call, my phone rang again. It was my teacher so I answered with a smile.
"Hello Ann!"
"Hello and thank you."
"So they already called you?"
"Yes, they did. You really didn't have to do that."
"Why not? I wanted to do something for you this year and now I did."
"Really, thank you."
"Have fun and take care, that's all I wanted to tell you tonight. Now I have to go, kids are waiting foe me to read them a goodnight story."
"OK, I won't bother you anymore. Goodnight."
"Night Ann."
I hung up and lay in my bed falling asleep quickly after that.
I woke up at 6 am. I had a flight at 8 am so I still had time to have breakfast. I made myself some pancakes and a cup of tea. Sitting at my desk I checked my e-mail on my laptop. Just some friends had written to me to ask about my plans for this summer. They were organizing a huge party but I would still be in Washington at that time so I had to reject the offer.
After I finished my breakfast I washed the dishes and went upstairs to get ready. I chose a dress and heeled boots. Putting a jacket on I grabbed my bag, took my phone and then left. I turned around and smiled. I was leaving home, finally. I needed some distance from school and everything.
I called a taxi that drove me to the airport. After checking in I found a seat in waiting room and dropped my bags. I put headphones in my ears and listened to the music. I had to wait for about twenty minutes when they announced my flight so I boarded on the plane. I sat next to window. Soon we got up and I was looking through the window when questions flew through me. Will I ever find my parents? Where are they? Do they even want to know me? So many questions I had in my head and I didn't know if I even wanted the answers.
I fell asleep and when I woke up we were landing in Washington. It was 2 pm there when we landed. I picked up my bags and called for a taxi. When I got in the driver asked, "Where to?"
"I don't know. I need somewhere to stay for two weeks. But I don't care where I stay. You have any suggestions?"
"Let me think. Well, I don't know any cheap hotels in the center of the city so I really can't help you. Do you have any other plans to do today?"
"I was planning on visiting NCIS tomorrow, I guess I'll just do that today and till evening I will find somewhere to sleep."
"OK, lady. So to the NCIS?"
"Yes, please. Do you know the address?"
"Yes of course. I have it written down. I must have addresses of all federal agencies in case of emergency. It'll take us 15 minutes to get there."
"How much will it cost?"
"Only 10 $ for you because you are so friendly. By the way how old are you? You must still be in high school."
"Well, I'm still in high school and I am smart enough not to talk about my age with complete strangers."
"I understand that." He smiled. I could say the first person I met today was very nice to me.
The rest of the driving passed in silence. When we got there I paid him the money and he wished me good luck with finding a place to stay. I thanked him for kindness and he drove away.
Now I was standing in front of a huge building, NCIS building. I walked through the door and looked around. It was a huge room with a guard standing next to the door. In front of me was a young woman. She was talking to a woman with red hair. This red-head woman was looking very official. She had to be special agent or something like that. I caught their conversation where red-head woman was opposing to the other woman who seemed to be named Cynthia. "No, Cynthia! I'm not taking these pills! I'm all right!"
"But ma'am. You know, Ducky said that you need to take those so he gave me these pills for you. We only want the best for you director." Wow, this read-head was NCIS director. When I heard word sick I knew I could help. I knew everything about medicine. I approached them and Cynthia looked at me. Taking the box with pills from her hands I looked at the label. It was just antibiotics, but they were for an infection. I looked up at the director and noticed she was looking at me surprisingly.
"Director, these are for infection. You should take them, they won't hurt and they don't have any side effects."
"Who are you young lady?" Cynthia asked.
"Sorry for not introducing myself but I felt the need to interrupt your little conflict because it seemed as though you both have no clue about medicine. Well, I am Ann Reynold. You were expecting me to come tomorrow but I couldn't find a hotel to stay in so I came here today."
"Welcome Ann. As you know, I am Jenny Shepard, the director of NCIS. How do you know so much about medicine?"
"Long story but you should really obey Ducky, whoever that is, I guess he knows well what's good for you."
"But it's none of your business."
" I can't help if it goes for other people's lives! Even if you are director of an armed federal agency, health comes first!"
"Well Ann, see me in my office when you calm down and give me those pills if you insist." She grabbed pills from my hand and stormed away.
