AN: The second installment in the Revenge series, have been toying with many idea's but this is my fav. Not as funny as the previous one - I don't think I can really compare anything to that. LOL
Take Two; Hot Lectures... I was watching re-runs of season four and came across the Sexual Harassment lecture, it highly amused me so this is my take on it, back in the day.
Enjoy :) Xx
A very hot and bored Jenny Shepard sat behind her boss, Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
The delightful air-conditioning decided to be a menace and just ceased working altogether, despite the fact that the fans were on, what kind of genius created windows that didn't open?
Jenny had no idea either.
He was mildly paying attention to the lecture, the speaker stood at the front with a slide show.
At least the subject was surprisingly entertaining.
Sexual Harassment.
She was situated directly behind him, a notepad sat neatly on her desk with a blue pen and a water bottle of which she took a nice long swig of.
It was warm though, just adding to her irritation.
The lights were off, at least that made a slightly cooler difference, not by much though.
The air felt thick like a blanket and it was threatening to suffocate her, she swore that she felt every inch of her entire being covered in a thin layer of sweat, a very disgusting feeling considering that she had only been at work for an hour and a half and she had had a shower beforehand; which now seemed like a lost cause.
Pressing her lips together, she re-tuned her ears back in to what the speaker was saying after blocking out the sound of her annoying voice.
The name tag proudly displayed upon her breast pocket read 'Julie'
The slide behind her changed.
It read, 'Sexual Harassment' in capital bold letters and underneath it had 'Don't let it happen to you!'
That made Jenny want to laugh at that statement, she understood that there was a point to the lecture but wasn't it just common sense?
She shrugged her shoulders.
"Lights, please." Asked Julie
Suddenly, without warning the lights were on and Jenny had to refrain from picking up her pen and throwing it at her, it was already hot in here.
Jenny looked around to Pacci and Decker and then wish she hadn't, they were actually concentrating on what the presentation was on.
First time for everything, she thought, not amused at all.
What the hell was going on? Why was every so quiet?
It was driving her completely bonkers.
"From the presentation, it's clear that sexual harassment can take many forms in the workplace." Julie began as she began to walk around the room, making eye contact with some people.
Jenny ran a hand through her hair.
"A co-worker with elevator eyes looking you up and down. A co-worker shows you a cartoon or photo of sexual nature." She kept on explaining
"If you're lucky." Jenny muttered, knowing full well that Gibbs had heard her murmur
"A co-worker's hand 'accidently' brushes up against your body." Julie stated, using quotation marks with her hands
"If you're really lucky." Said Gibbs, leaning back further in his chair
She had quite a comeback for that one, it made her think though.
Interesting point, Jethro.
"Physical contact can be divided into three categories, green light includes normal behaviour, yellow light includes borderline behaviour such as hugging someone or -." Julie continued
Fiona, the forensic lab scientist stood up with her hand in the air.
"Yup?" Julie asked
"What's wrong with hugging people?" asked Fiona, the girl was a hug fanatic, "I hug people all the time." Fiona explained
"You may see it as friendly, but your co-workers may find it offensive." Julia acknowledged
"You guys get offended when I hug you?" Fiona asked unhappily
A murmur of "No" went around the room and "Of course not, Fi."
Satisfied, Fiona sat back down.
"DOD policy is very clear about this point, miss. You must first ask permission before making physical contact with a co-worker." Julia explained
"Like, every time?" Fiona said
This truly was boring; she looked down at Gibbs whom was gently closing his eyes.
Smirking Jenny looked around the room.
It was just too easy.
"Yes." And finally, there's red light behaviour such as deliberate un-welcomed touching."
Jenny leaped forward and licked Gibbs' neck and then crashed down in her seat quietly.
Gibbs' jumped out of his seat, Jenny smirked, she probably was going to give the man a coronary one day.
It was incredibly hard not to laugh, the stone cold Leroy Jethro Gibbs freaked out by a tongue?
His reaction was priceless and he had just landed himself in a questioning predicament.
"Another question?" asked Julie, Jenny could tell that the woman was beginning to get frustrated.
"Yeah. What if you slap someone in the back of the head like this?" he asked and demonstrated using Jenny, she went to slap him where the sun would no longer shine but he blocked her hand.
"Would that be considered inappropriate behaviour?" Gibbs asked, the question was rhetorical to the presenter but mocking to Jenny
She stuck her tongue out at him.
Decker and Pacci were staring, mouths agape catching flies.
"Absolutely. Are you saying that this has actually happened?" Julie tried to confirm
Jenny looked towards Tom, the Director of NCIS, shaking his head slightly.
"Nah, I was just wondering." Gibbs' answered as he sat down; he turned to her on the way down and mouthed the words, 'You're dead.'
His cell rang and he answered promptly, "Gibbs."
"I have a question." Said Jenny as she stood up
"Yes?" Julie encouraged, now that the room was showing more interest
"What colour light would it be considered if you killed your co-worker?" Jenny asked
For a second, the presenter was silent.
A few chuckles went through the room, Gibbs hung up the phone.
"That would be black light, Shepard. Gear up." He said as he got up from his desk
Jenny sighed, just as things started to get interesting.
She left the room not predominantly pleased that she couldn't have done more to annoy him but it didn't as there would be many opportune moments later.
AN: And I am going to leave it there. Tell me what you thought, any future idea's that you find amusing, let me know! Thanks guys :) Xx
