Tears streamed down Kellys face during the silent ride to John's apartment. Her phone vibrated constantly on the seat between them, her mom had not stopped calling since she shut the door to the house, but Kelly was not answering, not in a million years.
They arrived at John's apartment and they remained silent until they got upstairs.
"You need some sleep baby, your first day is tomorrow and you want to impress your boss. I'll take the couch you can have the bed." He said before kissing her goodnight. John knew her pretty well. Well enough to know that when something went wrong she wasn't the talking type.
She climbed in his bed which felt weird, but she knew she wouldn't be sleeping in her own ever again so she wasn't going to complain. Her thoughts went to her father. Where would she find him? Would he still live in their old home or would he have moved? Where was their old home? Suddenly Kelly had a thought. Tomorrow Kelly started at her new job with NCIS. If information on her father was anywhere it would be in their database but she would have to wait a while before snooping.
Kelly finally allowed herself to go to sleep knowing tomorrow would be interesting.
…...
The grey elevators opened and Kelly stepped into her new life. She walked into the office and to the crime division area. She was greeted by a very overly happy agent.
"The names Special Agent Anthony Dinnozzo, I am seinor field agent on team Gibbs, wel thats not our official name but i'm hoping it will catch on." He smiled slyly shaking her hand.
"Kelly Stanton, you seem very happy to see me." she replied.
"Oh am always always happy to get a new team member! Right Special Agent McGee?"
"Happy because you have someone new to torture." Muttered the second agent as he rose to shake her hand. "Timothy Mcgee, don't let Tony mess with you, he did it to me for years. Gibbs is the one you want to impress." he reassured her.
"And here," said Tony nodding to the agent walking in, "is our israeli ninja assassin."
"Thats quite a title. Kelly remarked shaking the agent's hand.
"Tony is very good at... exagerating. Ziva David, I trust you are agent stanton?"
"Yes." replied Kelly.
"Good." Said Ziva. "Agent Gibbs has selected me to train you. You don't look as if you will need much physical conditioning but I will teach you some fighting. Who knows you might be our second resident ninja assassin!?"
"Sounds great!" replied Kelly suddenly a bit terrified. " When do we start?"
"Tomorrow morning at six." she confirmed. Her next comment was interrupted by the ringing of a phone.
"Dinozzo." Tony answered his phone."Okay boss we'll be there." he said hanging up. "Dead marine in Virginia. Gibbs is meeting us there. Lets go."
All of a sudden they were in a truck going to Virginia. As they arrived at the scene they found a body stuffed in a trash can. As they approached the body Tony looked at her with glee as if expecting her to freak out or puke at the sight of the body. Kelly would agree that the sight was disgusting, but she wasn't one with a weak stomach.
They processed the crime scene just like the books said it was done, and with a few helpful tips from Ziva, Kelly managed to begin her jobs without any mistakes, even though Tony gave her the worst ones. Halfway through bagging and tagging some awful substance Kelly couldn't identify, she heard a car door close.
She heard Dinozzo's footsteps followed by his voice that sounded very out of breath.
"Hey boss! We are just about done here, we have Ziva on the witness statements, Mcgee dusting for prints and our new probie bagging evidence." Tony reported.
Kelly knew she could probably introduce herself but seeing as her gloves were covered in a disgusting unknown substance handshaking would be out of the question. She finished what she was doing and cleaned up, prepared to meet her new boss.
She turned to walk towards him and stopped in her tracks. He was already looking at her. His gaze was stony as if he as analysing he before he even knew her name. There was something, familiar about him. As if she had known him for a long time. She walked up and shook his hand.
"Hello, I'm the new probationary agent on your team. I am looking forward to working with you my name is-"
"Kelly." he finished almost in a whisper.
