Max and Kenny went home after they dropped off the vile of the comatose girl's blood. When they arrived home it hit near to 6:00pm. so they ate dinner with their two kids, Kristie Erin Lacos and Nicholas Scott Lacos.
The morning sun woke up Max and Kenny at 6:35am. soon following their alarm clock. Max hit it off since the alarm clock was on her side of the bed. She grumbled but then was pulled back by her husband's two strong arms. She turned and nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck.
"Good morning," Kenny said running a hand up and down her arm.
"Morning," she mumbled back. Max lifted her head up to meet her husband's eyes then leaned in a kissed him good morning.
"We need to start getting ready."
"Okay," he replied letting go of his wife.
Two hours later their kids were off to get on the school bus and Max and Kenny headed in the car to the police station. They walked in and Jimmy walked up to them.
"We have a name on that comatose girl from the crash yesterday."
"What's her name?" Max asked.
"Sophia Jones. The same Sophia Jones that was kidnapped ten years ago and showed up on your doorstep, Maxine."
"I told ya so, Kenny," Max said to her husband victoriously.
"Okay so we got an I.D. what about family?" Kenny asked.
"We want you guys to work on that."
"Okay," Kenny replied.
Five hours later
"Max I got somethin' you might wanna see this. No wait you will wanna see this," Kenny said. Max got up and looked at her husband's computer over his shoulder.
"What is this Kenny?"
"This is her family history profile."
"Cool, this should really help. Why is this so important though?"
"Look at her family tree and you'll see."
"Okay well send me the link I'll get on it on my computer."
"Alright, there, just sent it," Max walked back over to her computer and started to type and click on some things.
"I got it, Kenny did you even look through this at all?"
"I perused it but why?"
"Because look at her closer relatives that are still living."
"Why?"
"Just look," Max said.
"Okay, jeez. Ugh close relatives, her dad Henry Jones the fourth, cousin, Jessica 'Jessi' Gibbs, her aunt Jennifer Shepard. Max how is this important?"
"Because of her aunt that's why."
"Huh?" Kenny said apparently not getting it.
"Kenny click on her aunt and pull up her picture," Kenny did that and he finally got it.
"Whoa Max she could be you twin!!!"
"Ya think Kenny this is freaking me out…" she trailed off because she felt dizzy and she closed her eyes.
"Max what are you doing?" Jen asked her crazy acting sister.
"I'm having fun come on Jen get your ass up here," Max motioned her sixteen year old twin sister to get up and walk around the fountain at the front of their boarding school.
"No. No way I am not gonna get in trouble!!!" Jen said.
"You gotta let loose Jen. JEEZ!!! Life isn't always about studying and being teacher's pet."
"Fine…" Jen got up on the fountain and chased her sister.
"Max?" Kenny shook Max gently on the shoulders and she jumped slightly in her seat as her eyes fluttered open.
"The car wreck," she mumbled.
"What? Max what about the car wreck."
"I was in a car accident when I was sixteen. With my sister Jenny. I remember now. When I woke up I had amnesia. I think my real dad probably put me in a different hospital than Jen. And put me in a foster family that made me believe that I was their daughter and the reason there was no pictures except for school pictures of me was that there was fire when I was five. Well I believed it. I never really recovered my memory till just now. Wow, from the time I was born till the time I was sixteen before the accident I wasn't Maxine Stewart. I was Maxine Shepard."
"Why would your dad do something like that?"
"Kenny, me and my sister were close. And I mean close. But I was the rebellious one of the two. When I told you what happened with my dad. It was my dad that did that. He did beat me. But, after the accident because of my amnesia I put a different face to my dad. Jen was always daddy's little girl and our mom walked out on us when we were eight. I was distant. I guess that might've been the reason I was commitment phobic right before we got married."
"Max, that terrible. Come with me," she took his hand and he led her to the break room. He shut the door, locked it and closed the blinds. Kenny walked over to her and kissed her. She smiled against his lips and they broke the kiss when oxygen became necessary.
"What was that for?" she asked.
"I wanted to help you feel better. You might've not been daddy's little girl but you'll always be mine. That will never change. Not in a million years."
"I love you Kenny."
"Love you too, Max. We need to get on a flight."
"To where?" she asked he opened the door and led her back over to her desk and looked at her computer.
"Washington, D.C."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey have any of you guys heard from Sophia? She's not answering her cell and she hasn't called at all since right before lunch yesterday," Jen said walking into the bullpen. Ziva, McGee, and DiNozzo looked up from their work.
"I haven't heard from her," Ziva replied.
"Neither have I," DiNozzo said.
"Same here, Director Shepard," McGee put in.
"Okay. Where's Jethro?"
"The boss is down in Abby's lab."
"Alright. I'll go down and ask both him and Abby. Then I'll ask Ducky," Jen walked off and into the elevator something didn't feel right. She placed a hand on her five month pregnant stomach and zoned only to be brought back to reality by the elevator door ringing open. She stepped out and walked into Abby's lab.
"Good morning director. How are you?" Abby asked apparently already had her first Caf-Pow! of the day.
"I'm doing fine. Have any of you two heard from Sophia?"
"Nope I haven't. I wish I have though. I need to tell her this one place that I went to when I was in Utah this one time," Abby said.
"I haven't either, Jen. Are you sure you're feeling okay you look a little exhausted?" Gibbs said walking over and putting an arm around her waist."
"I am kind of tired," slightly leaning into Gibbs.
"Awe cute 'Mommy and Daddy' moment," Abby said snapping a picture on her camera phone.
"Abby don't send that to anyone," Gibbs said making Jen laugh softly.
"I won't Gibbs but it was just so cute!!! I couldn't resist," she replied.
"Okay good. You keep working and I am going with Jen up to her office."
"You're what?" Jen said.
"I'm going to make sure you take a nap."
"Jethro…"
"Don't argue with me Jen."
"Ugh!!! Fine."
"Bye Gibbs, bye director!!!" Abby exclaimed as Gibbs and Jen walked out of Abby's lab and into the elevator. Almost immediately he flipped the emergency stop switch and turned to Jen.
"Jen, there's something wrong I can see it in your eyes. What is it?"
"I don't know that's just it. I can't figure it out. Something doesn't feel right. And no not because Sophia isn't answering her phone. Well that's part of it but I feel that there's more to it than that."
"Sophia's probably fine. Maybe her battery's dead on her phone and she hasn't been able to charge it," Gibbs said stepping closer to Jen and pulling her to him and hugging her.
"Okay that makes me feel a little bit better. So does this," she replied snuggling deeper into the hug.
"You just go take a nap and we'll see if we can track her cell. Okay."
"Okay thanks Jethro."
He placed a kiss to her hair and released the hug. Gibbs put the elevator back to normal and once the doors opened he followed Jen to her office.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Jimmy we need to talk to you," Kenny said.
"Okay," they walked into his office and shut the door.
"Jimmy, I've had amnesia since I was sixteen," Max said
"Huh?" Jimmy said.
"I was in a car wreck when I was sixteen. My twin sister, Jenny and I were in the car. She was driving. We were in our hometown on break from our boarding school and the car flipped cause it was hit by a drunk-driver in a Ford. I woke up apparently after being in a coma and I had amnesia. My real dad put me in some adoptive family and that family made me believe that I was their biological daughter."
"How did your amnesia go away."
"The comatose girl, Sophia. Her aunt is my twin, Jenny. I'm related to her too. The other reason is that we need to fly to D.C. and talk to Jenny," Max explained.
"Okay," Kenny and Max walked out of the office.
"Max, wait what are we going to do about Nick and Kristie?"
"We'll take them with us. It's the weekend tomorrow. They might have to miss school on Monday no more than that."
"Alright," they worked a little more then went home to pack some and waited for their kids to come home from school.
