"Crap." Said Gibbs. The person at the door was Cynthia. She stared in shock and blushed before looking down at her clipboard. Gibbs was still on top of Jenny and she had her top open. He was dead. Jenny shoved him off quickly and he fell onto the floor. They quickly jumped up, Jenny buttoning up her shirt as she stood up. She straightened out her skirt. Gibbs quickly did up the buttons on his shirt and tried to wipe the lipstick off his face.

"It isn't what it looks like!" said Jenny. Cynthia frowned at her feeble excuse but couldn't argue with the director.

"Yeh." She said slowly. Gibbs quickly stumbled out of the office. Jenny was a deep red shade. "I need your signature." Mumbled Cynthia.


Gibbs turned on the light in the basement. He looked over his boat. It had become his life building boats. Though, for some reason, he had never finished one.

He thought about what had happened in the office. He had enjoyed it so much. Images and phrases from their time in Paris had flashed through his head – kissing outside the cake shop, dancing on the Eiffel Tower and laughing together in lovely restaurants. Now it seemed that he was going to throw everything away. Cynthia was definitely going to tell Tony, Mcgee, Ziva and all the others. Even Ducky would find out. He and Jenny would never be able to have any secrets.

What would Tony say when he so wanted to be with Ziva and his boss had banned him. Then his boss was caught making out with one of his colleagues – well, his boss. This fiasco had become a disaster. He knew he should have come public about her ages ago. She was almost as perfect as Shannon and Kelly. Their relationship would not end like any of his ex – wives' relationships. It was like they were soul mates but now they were broken. Gibbs swore and threw a spanner across his basement. He and Jen were perfect together and now they had to break up. It was for the best. Wasn't it?


Gibbs woke up beside his boat. He looked around, confused and suddenly remembered what had happened the day before and that night. He looked at his watch. It was already seven o'clock. He must have fallen asleep thinking about Jen, he figured. He shoved on a clean set of clothes and ran out the front door.

As always he stopped to get himself a coffee. It was a cold morning, again, and he needed coffee to keep him warm, help him get awake and take his mind off what was going to happen when he saw the team.


Gibbs was late, Thought Tony impatiently. Gibbs was never late. Tony tried to muster over these thought as he saw Cynthia come into the bullpen. She was pretty, he thought. Well, to him anything female was pretty, though he did prefer Ziva. She put her hands on his desk and told him there was something he needed to know. Tony smiled. Another woman wanting to confess her love for him, he thought. He was normally wrong. In this case he was very wrong.

Ziva and Mcgee came into the bullpen holding cups of steaming coffee and laughing. They saw Cynthia and Tony and wondered what was wrong.

"I need to tell you too." Cynthia said.

Ziva and Mcgee looked confused, "Tell what?" they asked.

"Well," said Cynthia. She was uncomfortable telling people what had happened and didn't want to be a tell tale but she thought it was for the best.

"I went away for a while to get some documents for Jenny to sign. When I came back I walked in without knocking, like normal. I looked up from my clipboard and saw Special Agent Gibbs on top of the Director on the sofa. They were kissing and they were half naked." Cynthia frowned at the memory. Jenny and Gibbs had looked so happy. Was she spoiling their love by telling Ziva, Tony and Mcgee?

Tony choked, "OUR boss!" he exclaimed.

"Gibbs wouldn't!" said Mcgee disbelievingly.

Ziva was in a state of utter shock. Her mouth was hanging open and her eyes were wide. "But…" she said desperately.

Tony was shocked to see Ziva in such a state. "What is up Ziva?" he asked, concerned.

"Rule Number Twelve." She said as she looked up, puzzled. "And you know I saved Jenny's life once. She told me her true love after that because we promised to have no secrets from each other. Her description fixes Gibbs and this proves it!"

Tony looked into Ziva's eyes. "He wouldn't let us be together." Said Tony, "But he is making out with his boss!" Tony and Ziva held each others hands and shared a moment while Tim came up with another problem.

"Who is going to tell Abby?" he asked.

"You." Grinned Tony evilly. He anticipated Abby's reaction.

Mcgee stepped out of the elevator. He walked slowly, trying to delay time and Abby's reaction. It didn't work well. A minute later he arrived at the door of Abby's lab.

"Abby," he said after walking past the sugar that lay on the floor. "Tony says I have to tell you something." He finished uncertainly.

"What, Mcgeester!?" asked Abby. She was hyper already. That was a bad sign, thought Mcgee.

"Cynthia caught Jenny and Gibbs together in the Director's office." Said Mcgee quietly, hoping that Abby would not explode.

"So." Said Abby as she looked at him with a dead panned expression.

"Yeah." Said Mcgee realising the significance had not his home. He would give her a minute, he thought.

"Gibbs is allowed in the Director's office. Isn't he?" laughed Abby. She thought Mcgee was acting seriously weird.

"They were making out!" said Mcgee.

"WHAT!?" screamed Abby. Mcgee took it as a queue to leave. As he stepped into the lift he could hear Abby yelling.

"I'LL BREAK HER FACE IF HE BREAKS HIS HEART!" and, "HE CAN'T DO THIS!"

Back at the bullpen Gibbs finally arrived. He wasn't surprised when nobody spoke to him. The gossip must have done its rounds. He ran straight up the stairs to Jenny's office. He walked through the door without knocking.

"Jen-" He started but got no further. Jenny stood up and gave him a quick kiss.

"What the heck are we going to do?" she asked him. There were tears in her eyes and you could see she had not slept that night. She perched on the edge of her desk. Gibbs sat beside her and put his arm around her and squeezed her tight to his chest. Jenny couldn't hold back her tears and started sobbing.

"It was perfect." She cried.

"I know." Growled Gibbs.

"We have to break up." She sobbed.

"It is for the best." Reassured Gibbs. They broke their hug and looked into each other eyes. They could both see that they were uncomfortable with the decision but there was nothing they could do. Or was there?

"I need to go." Said Gibbs.

"Come tonight!" begged Jenny.

"For the last time." Sighed Gibbs before walking out of the room, leaving Jenny sobbing at her desk. Jenny checked to see no one was looking before taking a bottle of pills out of her desk and swallowing some.

Gibbs walked into the bullpen, obviously pissed off.

"Morning, boss." Said Tony frostily before ignoring him.

Gibbs replied before saying. "We need to go visit Alice Mcleod."

An hour later they pulled up at her house.

Really sorry but the name Storm has changed to Alice. Thanks for all the reviews and thanks to Zaira Cullen who has helped me lots. Please review! :)
