New Boy

The changing rooms were large and they all changed on a bench. Because Matt was a girl she changed in a separate room.

"I haven't played much baseball though," Nathan said neverously.

"Ah last time there was a match no one played much baseball, Matt hit the ball into the pitcher's things," Darren said fondly.

"I thought this was a boys baseball team," said Nathan, cocking his head to the side as he unbuttoned his shirt.

"It is, but Matt insisted," said Darren. "One thing about Matt is… she gets her own way, always."

"Right, sounds, interesting," Nathan said as he pulled a baseball shirt over his head.

"Holly watches a lot, she's really good with numbers so she helps out with the scoring," replied Darren, tying the drawstring on his shorts. "Now Tabby, Tabby is one to watch out for."

"Why?" asked Nathan.

"She's slippery, let's just say that," reassured Darren.

NCIS

Holly watched her two best friends and the new boy talking as they ran laps as she got the scoring sheet ready. She did the scoring with a charming old girl named Gillian who was a councilwoman

"So how's Director Gibbs?" asked Gillian. She was good friends with Gibbs and the former manager of the dinner he visited every morning.

"He's not director anymore, Jenny's back," replied Holly. While she was polite to the red headed Director ever since she'd got back from Mexico she'd been acting strange which made Holly wonder what was up.

"Never did like her much," commented Gillian. "My daughter Elaine still works at the diner and she dislikes Director Shepard as well. Although I think it's just because she likes your father."

Holly made a vomiting gesture. "We've already had that Hollis lady this year. Aunty Hollis as I was supposed to say but she was horrible!"

"Okay ladies, get ready cause we're going into a game!" announced Coach Kearns. Ever since he had replaced the previous coach, Coach Verne, he'd shown a dislike for Darren, Holly and Matt but as Gillian was a councilwoman, he couldn't do more than occasionally humiliate them.

"Sweet I love games!" Darren said to Nathan.

"Why?" asked Nathan.

"Cause they're awesome!" shrugged Darren. "Why else?"

"You'll fit right in," encouraged Matt.

NCIS

"We need to understand something here," said Rene Benoit, staring into the face of Madam Suchet. "We need to disappear and fast. Undercover agents Anthony DiNozzo and Trent Kort will be the death of me."

"And your first idea is to run away!" Suchet said. She was fifty years of age and had grey hair in a tight bun. "That's for cowards!" The slap that Benoit gave her echoed in the boat's office.

"Why else haven't I been caught in so long?" Benoit snapped. "What is wrong with you?"

"I'll see you tomorrow," said Suchet curtly.

Suchet left the boat and got in her car, driving back along the road when she had a thought. Benoit hated Shepard and was now planning to ask her for protection. She knew that Benoit must be stopped from leaving the country, but knew no one who would help her except.

"Sophie Flanders," Sophie said.

"I want to make a deal," Suchet said. "You kill Benoit, and I'll kill that NCIS Agent."

"No, not him, kill his daughter," replied Sophie. "Five and a half years old, working in the Under 7s baseball team. Tomorrow at six they hold team try outs again as they do every year. Take her out, and I'll deal with Benoit."

Rosie Haycroft picked the girls up at six that evening.

"Mom, try outs are tomorrow, if I want to re-join the team then I have to go," Matt said.

"So do I," added Holly.
