A.N: Same as in chapter 1. I don't own anything

Dawn turned around slowly to see her cousin a few feet from her. She did not look pleased to see Dawn.

"Hey Abby."

"Don't you 'Hey Abby' me. You're supposed to be out looking for a job. That was part of the agreement with Buffy," Abby scolded Dawn.

"I am looking for a job?" Dawn said, but it was phrased more like a question.

"Dawn!"

"I did start looking, but not a lot of people have much use for a M.I.T student who has a masters in 'Ancient languages' and 'History'," Dawn explained.

"So you decided to give-up and gatecrash my work?" Abby questioned.

"Yes?" Dawn replied, giving her cousin an innocent smile.

"God, you're such a child sometimes," Abby commented, trying hard to fight her smile.

"That's why you love me," Dawn said cheekily, causing Abby to roll her eyes whilst smiling at the same time.

Abby adored her cousin, always would, and even though at times she could be a pain in the bum she was glad that Dawn was living with her. She knew Dawn needed to get away from Buffy and live her own life. Plus her and Dawn always had so much fun when they were together. She couldn't wait.

"Wait, you two are cousins?" McGee asked.

"Yes McGee, were you not paying attention?" Abby replied, hands on hips.

"I-I...Erm," McGee stuttered, unsure what to say.

"Aw, he's so cute when he's nervous," Dawn said, making McGee blush at the rare comment.

"Dawn!" Tony shouted.

"What?" Dawn asked innocently.

"You're supposed to have a crush on me," Tony said, resulting in Dawn to walk over to him and give him a hug.

"Sorry Tony that finished the same time I stopped fancying Xander," Dawn giggled in Tony's ear.

"How can you stop resisting me?"

"Easily," Dawn said, grinning when Tony stuck his tongue out at her.

"Okay children break it up," Abby said smiling at the familiar interaction. It was just like Tony's and Abby's relationship: brotherly-sister love.

"Right, I must get back to my babies. And Dawn I have not forgotton about the job situation," Abby said, smirking at her cousin's frown and cry of 'dam'it'.

"Did you know that the FBI listens in on your conversations? Very wiggins-worthy," Dawn randomly commented as she read the job section in the newspaper.

"I wouldn't put it passed the FBI. Now would you please get off my desk, I am trying to work," Tony replied.

"Trying, but not succeeding," Dawn sing-songed.

"Are you always this annoying? I'm surprised Buffy did not ship you off to boarding school," Tony replied, receiving a snort from McGee and Ziva.

"You do realise you act the same way to us," McGee said.

"Yes it is nice to see you get a taste of your own cologne," Ziva added, not realising her mistake.

"Medicine, Ziva, its medicine. A taste of your own medicine," Tony corrected, annoyed at being ganged up on. "Enough chatter, get back to work."

"Who died and made you boss?" Dawn said.

"Well, since Gibbs is speaking to the Director and is absent that technically makes me the next in line as senior agent."

"God help them," Dawn muttered before moving away quickly to avoid a head slap.

As Gibbs entered the Bullpen he saw everyone working hard, including his niece, who was sitting at his desk. Gibbs made his way in front of his niece in a couple of steps and waited for Dawn to realise that he was there.

After a moment Dawn slowly lifted her head to see her Uncle leaning over her, eyebrows raised in a silent question.

"I know I know, no-one is allowed to sit at your desk, but you'll be pleased I did."

Gibbs made a head movement that clearly stated for her to further explain.

"Well, I just solved your case. You see that writing on the wall, it's in Sumerian. It says 'Cheating witches always get what they deserve'. So basically you're looking for her boyfriend, Paul Hammond," Dawn said.

When Dawn had finished speaking she looked up to find that everyone had stopped what they were doing and were looking at her dumb-founded.

"What?"

"Dawn, you may have just found yourself a job," Gibbs said.
