Squeaking her eyes widening as she found herself looking up at a very displeased silver haired agent. Swallowing hard she tried to take a step back only to bump in to the desk as she was cornered. "I..um" she suddenly found her self twisted tot he side and a loud sharp SMACK was applied to her seat and a yelp escaped her lips... eyes even wider than before she let her mouth drop open and her cheeks flush pink.

"You.. Will stay in this corner until I tell you other wise. Understood?" she agent growled in to her ear as she thrust her non to gently in tot he corner, Each hand on one of her shoulders.

Nodding her head she stood frozen on the spot jumping slightly and yelping again as another SWAT was brought down

" I Cant hear a nod little girl"

" Yessir " she practically whispered feeling fully embarrassed.. her eyes stung with tears that threatened to spill. Stuck behind Gibbs desk she could hear him yank out his chair and sit down... knowing the others had probably watch with satisfaction at the little show they were just giving. Felling a strong urge to yell and scream and tell Gibbs what he could do with this corner.. clenching her fists.

" Don't test me" came a whispered remark from the desk behind her... How did he know what she was thinking? UnClenching her fists she lay her head against the wall..

It must have been at least 15 minuets before anything was said in the room at all the silence adding to the girls already apparent tiredness, eyes closed and leaning in tot he wall.. occasionally losing her balance.. but quickly catching herself. She yawned in to the wall. It must be at least 4:00am by now... she wondered why these people were all still here, But her question was soon answered.

"Alright go home... get some rest, i don't want to see any of you until at least lunch time tomorrow.. well find the answers were looking for then.

"AH! yes thank you boss man!" came a yippy response from DiNozzo the other two agents following in the thanking lead.

Listening as all the other agents left Dakota shifted from foot to foot.. trying desperately to keep herself awake.

" Turn"

chewing her bottom lip she turned to face the man. Who tossed the pink backpack filled with all her things to her. He slipped his hand around her upper arm, not rough but gently and lead towards the elevator.

She chose to stay silent as he led her back to the truck..still not allowing her to sit in the front seat. The ride was silent as well, pulling up to a house he hopped out of the truck rounding on her side and helping her out and leading her up to the front door.

"Um... where are we?" she almost whispered

" My house" he grunted.

" How come?" she wondered slightly cocking her head to its side

" We need to sleep, until we can figure some things out tomorrow" he grumbled bumping open the door and continued to the second level of the house. Nudging open another door with his foot he pointed to the bed . " Go ahead and get some rest well talk tomorrow.. do not. Leave. This. Room. Unless your going to the head" twisting his finger out the hall way " Second door on the left. If its an emergency and im not on the couch... yell from the top of the basement stairs."

nodding her head she opened her mouth sputtered a few words then changed her mind.. but still a finger was held up and Gibbs turned and walked out.

Well then. Goodnight to you too , she thought to herself "Ah! hey!" suddenly her world went dark she grabbed the material off her head and looked at it. NCIS was written across it in big thick letters. The grey T-shirt which was WAY to big would make for perfect sleep wear... " How did you know what i was gonna ask" she muttered.

"Its my job.. to know what people are thinkin,go on" he motioned to the bathroom. As soon as she left the room he began to pull the bed covers down,

shuffling back in she looked at Gibbs who motioned to the bed.. crawling in she sat with her knees curled up under her. She noticed his brow furrowed as he peered at a large bruise on the her thigh. Quickly covering it with the blankets she blushed.

" How often" he asked lips forming in to a displeased line.

" Not that often.. the other kids get rough.. sometimes too" she blushed and twiddled the blankets in between her fingers.. she shouldn't say anything, she knew that once she got back they would be pretty angry that she hadn't been there. Swallowing hard the sharp sick pain from the middle of her stomach twinged.

" Was that the kids?" he asked it was a direct question.. before she could find herself making up a lie.. she simply shook her head no.

" mhmm, goodnight, well talk more tomorrow" he patted the blankets and shut the door behind himself.

knocking loudly on the town house door he peered through the side window before hearing a gruff " Ya ya I'm coming"

A man stepped out and closed the door behind him wearing only jeans and a white stained muscle shirt " yes? your not a church hippie are y-" but was cut off as he was shoved hard against the door by the silver haired man.

" So you like hitting kids huh? brings you satisfaction" he growled quietly at the side of the mans head.

"HEY! getoff of me! who the hell do you think you are" the man struggled but was only slammed back harder " What did that little lying bitch tell you! , just wait till she gets home!"

"Special Agent Gibbs, and you wont see her again. and if i EVER find out that you or anybody else in the house lays one finger on a child again…" he whispered in a menacing tone.

"I..i no..wont happen again..i just lost my temper yanno" he sputtered holding his hands up now

"Mhmm" was the only reply has Gibbs spun on his heal and walked back to his car. Making critical decision right then and there.

Speeding off to his last destination before heading back to NCIS.

Dakota sigh'd loudly and swung her legs " Where'd Gibbs go anyway" she asked wearing up at the lab goth.. Abby.. well abby rocked! she instantly felt as if they could be friends. abby had spunk!

" Dunno he didn't say… but UGHHH! common babies! i need this info!" stomping her feet and flying around her lab, from machine to machine.

Walking over to abby's desk she notices a bunch of things.. first a pair of brass knuckles then a can of pepper spray… lastly a big stuffed hippo! that she couldn't keep her hands of of picking it up and giving it a small squeeze.

"Oh! …. it wasn't me! i swear!" stuttered and very red faced girl.

" Oh! i know! that bert! he's a farting hippo!" abby smiled and then shouted with glee as one of her machines dinged! " Yes yes yes!… Three… two…on-"

"What are you count" Dakota interrupted furrowed eyebrows, But as abby got down to one.. the elevator dinged and in strode Gibbs.

" Ah! oh fearless leader! you have returned right on time" she dramatically spewed

" Uh huh, what do you got for me abbs." he asked pointing to the scene in front of him

" I thought you'd never ask! Petty officer Thomas nelson.. thats who's fingerprints were on our murder weapon"

leaning over and kissing her on the cheek " Good work Abbs." walking towards the door he motioned with his finger to the girl still holding the farting hippo " With me"

Tossing the cute animal on to the desk she jogged to catch up and slid in to the elevator beside him, shifting from foot to foot she looked up.. then back down. quietly she wondered what was going to happen with her. she knew as soon as she got home shed be in a lot of trouble. her teeth founder her bottom lip and she chews away nervously.

" Whats on your mind" he asked, she hadn't noticed him watching her. looking up with a slight confused look until he tapped her lips with his finger.

" Oh uh, just thinking" she blushed removing her teeth.

" About" he pushed, this girl was a brat. she had a horribly disrespectful shield around her. which from what he saw today was explained, knowing how unhealthy it is for a child to keep everything bottled up.

" Um.. wha… what happens now? when do i go back home?" she asked just saying the word " home" made her stomach gargle with displeasure.

"Soon" is all he said as he strode over to his desk and grabbed the rest of his things. "Tony.. Your in charge"
