"He was on the USS Enterprise when I met him."
Tony threw his hands up as Gibbs just happened to glance at him. "It wasn't me! Honest!" He then winced from the head slap.
"Of course not DiNozzo." Gibbs grumbled. "You haven't been agent afloat for a while and you're not a senator's aide."
Just then Vance walked into the bullpen. "Gibbs, you have a visitor." Behind Vance was a man with dark blonde hair.
"Boss." The man behind Vance blurted out. "How ya been?"
As the man walked closer, Loura gasped. Boss? He knows Uncle Jethro?
"Stan! What are you doing here?" Gibbs voiced.
"Well, I'm here for my new boss. We may have some insight on your case." Stan said as he shook Gibbs' hand. "We worked personally with your dead petty officer."
Stan turned just in time to be attacked with a sea of black and hot pink. "Hey, Abs. How you doing?" He laughed.
"I've missed you, Stan. How's life treating you?" Abby asked squeezing him tightly.
"Can't… breathe… Abs." Stan choked out. Abby released him but stayed close. "Not bad. I'm a Senator's aide again."
"And why is that?" Gibbs asked.
"Just decided that being agent afloat wasn't for me." Stan told him. "This gig pays more."
Gibbs let out a little laugh. "Well tell me about my dead petty officer."
As Stan was telling Gibbs the information he had on the petty officer, Ziva leaned close to Loura. "Please do not tell me that this is the grime bag that hit you up and then left?" She whispered.
"It's scum bag and knocked up, but yes. That's him." Loura whispered back.
"Well we have to tell Gi…"
"NO!" Loura shouted suddenly. She ducked her head and apologized. "He probably won't believe me anyway." She then whispered.
"But you're his niece." Ziva voiced.
"Yeah, that he hasn't talked to since I was 5." Loura replied. "Just leave it alone for now. If he causes any trouble then I'll handle it."
Ziva looked at Loura for a minute then nodded. "Ok, but if things get out of hand…."
"I'll tell Uncle Jethro myself." Loura interrupted. "Until then, you say nothing."
Ziva zipped up the imaginary zipper on her mouth. Doesn't mean I can't tell McGee to stop searching. Ziva thought. So she slipped over next to McGee.
"Stop searching. We found him." Ziva whispered.
McGee looked up at her confused. Ziva subtly pointed her head towards Stan and McGee's eyes went wide.
"Does Gibbs know?" He murmured.
Ziva shook her head. "And she doesn't want him to know, so you know nothing." She warned.
McGee nodded then looked up at Loura. She had lost the color in her face and her eyes looked petrified.
"Hey, Ms. Fie… I mean Loura, how about I give you and Blaine a turn of NCIS headquarters while Gibbs gets his information." McGee said standing up from his chair.
"That sounds great." Loura nodded and walked with McGee when he led the way away from the group, thankful for the distraction.
Time elapsed…..
It was an hour later and McGee had taken Blaine back to the bullpen for Loura so she could go to the restroom. As she was leaving the restroom to go back to the bullpen herself, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her back into the restroom.
Loura was whipped around and pushed up against the door as lips met her neck.
"You look beautiful today, Loura Bell." She could feel the hot breath on her neck and closed her eyes to the sensation. She hadn't felt something like this since before having Blaine, and God knew she wanted to feel this again. But Loura had to fight her urges and push the man away.
"You left me remember?" She yelled. "You don't think that pulling me aside and trying to seduce me is going to make me forget that you left me to raise our child alone do you, Stan?"
Stan Burley stood in front of her confused. She always liked it when he would surprise her like this. Although he hadn't even noticed her standing there until he heard Agent McGee say her name.
"I didn't leave you to raise our child alone, because there is no our child." He stated. "We haven't yet proven that he's mine. All we have is hear say."
"You're the only guy I've slept with, Stan. How could it not be yours?!" Loura retorted.
"That's not yet proven either." Stan said. "Who knows what you were doing when I was still Agent Afloat."
Loura narrowed her eyes. "Yeah, let me tell you, Stan, I was sleeping with half of D.C. while you were gone." She sarcastically told him. "What do you think I am some whore?"
"If the shoe fits." He combated. "If I remember right all it took was a little alcohol and you were spreading your legs for me."
Loura reached up and slapped him, then left the restroom stomping into the bullpen.
"Uncle Jethro, can I leave please? I need to get home and get Blaine fed and in bed soon." She demanded.
Gibbs looked up to see the fire in her eyes. He almost wondered if McGee had pissed her off but thought if he had he wouldn't have been carrying her son earlier.
"Yeah, sure. I'll drive you." He tells her and begins to grab his things.
Just then Stan walks through from the same direction Loura had come rubbing his cheek slightly. Ziva noticed this and stood up.
"I could drive her, Gibbs." She says. "That way you could stay here and continue working on the case."
"I don't think we want to put this poor girl through you driving her child." Tony laughs. "I'll drive her, boss. I'm not getting anything on the case anyway."
Ziva shot daggers with her eyes at Tony.
Gibbs looked at his two agents. He did have to admit, one he didn't want to punish Loura with having her worry about Ziva's driving, and two he did want to continue working on the case. "Go on, DiNozzo. Just make sure she gets home safe." He finally said with a wave of his hand, and then he was off to autopsy to see what Ducky had.
Tony nodded and gathered his things. "Come on, Lou. Let's get that boy fed."
Time elapsed….
In the first five minutes of the car ride Tony could tell something was bothering Loura. He wasn't sure if he should ask or not, so he decided to try and cheer her up instead.
"Ok, I have to ask." He began. "How can a pretty girl like you be related to Gibbs?"
Loura never turned from the window she was staring out of. "My dad is Aunt Shannon's brother." She responded flatly.
"Oh, so that explains the red hair." Tony laughed.
"Yup." She answered.
Tony sighed. "Ok, I'll bite. Who pissed you off?"
"My ex." Loura growled.
Tony looked over at her quickly before returning his eyes back to the road. "He contacted you?"
Loura nodded. "You could say that." She then sighed. "Every time I try to talk to him lately, it's always a big fight. He doesn't want to admit that I had his child." Loura balled her hands into fist. "He just makes me so mad I want to hit something."
"Well when we get you home, I'll let you hit me, how does that sound?" Tony tried again to cheer her up.
Loura let out a slight laugh and loosened her fist a little. "I'm not going to hit someone I just met."
"No really I can take it." He assured her and smiled at his triumph.
"Actually if you could just take me to my car, I could get home myself. That way I'm not keeping you from your job too long." Loura stated.
"Nope, I told your uncle, my boss that I would get you home safe and that's what I'm going to do." He replied. "Besides, if you want to hit something, you're not in a state to be driving anyway. Not with the crazies on the road."
"Oh, come on. I'm not blood related to Uncle Jethro. I can control my anger when I need to." Loura countered. "Please! I'm going to need it to get to work anyway." She then asked more sweetly.
Tony contemplated his opinions. He could never turn down a pretty girl when she begged for something, but then again, Gibbs would have his ass if he let her drive home alone.
"Alright, I'll take you to your car, but I'm following you home." Tony told her. "Gibbs would kill me if I didn't."
Loura rolled her eyes and sighed in defeat. "Ok, fine. But just know that's I don't live just down the block from where I work."
Tony nodded and smiled. "Then that just means you have to make me dinner then for the trouble." He laughed.
Loura smiled. "Won't you get in trouble for not getting back right away?"
"Nah, I'll just tell him that you needed help with something. He'll thank me for staying." Tony responded.
Loura just shook her head and laugh. He's going to be dead. She thought.
Time elapsed…..
They had picked up her car from Tievoli Hills and drove back to her house. She cooked them dinner and not soon after, Blaine went right to sleep.
"Must have had a long day." Tony said.
Loura laughed. "Yeah, it was at least eventful."
They sat and talked until Tony's phone rang. He winced as he could feel the head slap through the phone for taking so long. He gave Loura a farewell and ran out to his car and headed back to the Navy Yard.
Review please. BTW thanks to smush68 and my dear loving sister for them to let me bounce ideas off of them. (P.S. Go read smush68's stories. GOLDEN! There's even one about yours truly! It's getting steaming... LOL.)
