This is my first attempt at writing a story, so there will be quite a few mistakes, i would really like some constructive criticism so I can improve.
"DiNozzo you have five seconds to tell me why the hell you are calling my daughters phone" The anger in Gibbs voice startled Tony. His hands started to sweat as his mind began to race.
"Well Boss, Me and Grace we are movie buffs and from time to time we swap DVDs we have that we think are awesome. I just was calling to ask her when she wanted me to drop it round to her" There was truth in what Tony said, they both were movie buffs and they both did exchange movies on occasion. But he just happened to leave out the regular sleepovers and heavy petting part of their relationship.
Tony could remember the exact moment he set eyes on Grace. She had appeared out the elevator with Fornell at her side, terror in her eyes and blood down her shirt.
The team knew Gibbs had been married a lot but children was never something that had factored into his life they assumed, when they had found out about Kelly his daughter who was murdered everyone was surprised. They were all even more surprised when they discovered Gibbs had a living daughter.
She was the result of a regretted one night stand with Pippa Jennings, Grace didn't see much of her father growing up except birthdays and the occasional out of the blue visit. Seeing what happened to Kelly, he was happy with the limited contact he had. That all changed when she was 17, her mom started a relationship with Hughie Wallis, a good for nothing bad boy.
Grace had arrived home from school; as she walked towards her apartment she noticed their door had been bashed in. Cautiously she entered, she could see blood on the floor and as she entered further she saw her mum lying on the ground in a pool of her own blood. Grace ran over to the body, instantly checking for a pulse. She felt the light beat of one, grabbing her cell phone from the bag she had slung down next to her she tried to phone 911 while uncontrollably shaking. When they arrived at the hospital they rushed Pippa away to surgery, leaving a distraught Grace in the family waiting room. After a hour passed the surgeon walked in, with a defeated look on his face.
"We're sorry Miss Jennings, there's nothing we could do, the injuries she sustained were to severe,we were unable to repair it in time. Is there anyone we can call?" Grace stared blankly at the surgeon not quite comprehending what he was saying.
Her face was emotionless "Can i see her?"
A nurse took her to a empty room with just a bed in it, she led Grace over to the bed and lifted the sheet from Pippa's face.
"I'll be back in a few minutes" Grace was now alone, looking down at the body it was hard to believe she wasn't just sleeping, she looked so peaceful. Grace gently placed her lips on her mother's skin, as she did so a single tear dropped down her face, but she quickly wiped it away and took a deep breath. She felt guilty that the last time she had talked to her mom it had entered with an argument. She reached out her hand and placed it over Pippa's the cold skin giving no comfort to the teen. Grace had always felt like the parent, she was the one sat awake at night wondering why she hadn't come home; she would clean up after her mother when she had been on a drinking binge. She had to be strong for the both of them and now she had to be strong to keep herself going.
She heard muffled sounds from behind her, as she looked around at the door she saw the nurse outside talking to three men in suits, as they were talking they all looked over at her making her feel rather uneasy. The nurse then walked off, while two men in suits waited by the door, and the third, the elder of the three entered the room.
"You must be Pippa's daughter, we heard alot about you"
Grace turned to face the balding man. "Who are you?"She spat angrily.
Fornell stepped back, he was expecting to be met with tears "Im FBI agent Fornell, your mother was helping us with the investigation of Hughie Wallis."
"So she got shot for giving out information?"The thought made her angry, why would her mother be so stupid.
"I have my men out looking for him right now; we will find him i promise" Fornell placed a reassuring hand on Graces shoulder. "You shouldn't be alone at a time like this".
"It was only me and mom, i don't even know how to contact my dad."She looked back down at her mother, she felt completely alone.
"Well give me his name and i might be able to track him down, it's the least i can do."He felt guilty, he should of had someone protecting Pippa, but he didnt have the man power.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs" Fornell almost choked as he heard that name leave her lips.
As she was lead into NCIS headquarters she couldn't believe this was where her dad worked. She knew he was very secretive but she assumed it was just because he was like every other man her mother had dated, a criminal. The day had been so draining, and Grace needed to be held by someone who cared about her. As the doors opened of the elevator she saw him and she felt herself finally lose control, all the hurt and pain she had stored up at the hospital she couldn't contain it. She ran towards gibbs who had opened his arms, a look of confusion on his face.
"Dad, She's dead" She sobbed, her tears wetting the agents shirt.
That had been the first of many times the agents encountered Grace, her mother was dead and Gibbs had no choice but to finally take care of his daughter.
Tony snapped back to reality, suddenly realising that his boss was unusually quiet on the other end of the phone. "Can I talk to her boss?"
"That's going to be a problem Dinozzo; im at the hospital, she's been in an accident" Gibbs voice cracked as he spoke.
Tony's eyes widened and his heart started to race faster "Is there anything i can do Boss?"
