Valerie sat at the conference table with both Director Leon Vance and Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs directly across from her. That's when she realized this probably didn't just have to do with her kidnapping and attempted murder. Part of it did, but not all.
"Do you think your brother can keep a clear and level head during this case?" Director Vance asked. Valerie looked at him for a split second before looking at Gibbs, who did a slight nod.
"Yes," she answered, looking back at Vance. "He's always been very good at keeping his feelings... separated between home and work."
"Alright, good," Vance said, nodding.
"Leon, can you give us a moment?" Gibbs asked the Director, who just nodded again, stood up and left the room. "I wanna go back to last night," Gibbs began. "Start from before you left the restaurant."
"We were all just out for a family dinner... for Sarah's new job offer," Valerie said, elaborating carefully. "There was... my dad, our dad, he said something. Then there was an argument and Tim left."
"What was the argument about?" Gibbs asked. She was afraid he'd do that.
"I don't think that has anything to do with what happened to me," she responded. He sat there, just looking at her, sticking to his resolve. She sighed deeply, hoping Tim wouldn't get mad at her for this.

Twenty minutes later, Gibbs and Valerie came out of Vance's office and walked back down to the bullpen to rejoin everyone. She avoided eye contact with Tim as much as possible.
"Well, boss?" Tony said. They were all sitting at their desks, while the McGee family had been sitting in a corner.
"Put a BOLO out on a black van, last four digits 0716," Gibbs told them. Tony and Ziva both picked up the phone.
"She remembered?" Tim asked Gibbs, looking over at Valerie, their mother was tucking a strand of chocolate brown hair behind her ear.
"Enough of her abduction," Gibbs answered. Tim nodded subconciously, looking back at his computer for a moment, only to look back up at Valerie. "McGee," Gibbs said, pulling out a file and not looking at Tim. He quickly turned his head back to the boss and Gibbs finally looked up at him. "She's okay," he told him. Tim nodded, but he still looked back at his youngest sister with worry. Gibbs watched him for a moment, wondering why he never really talked to him about things that were wrong in his life before.

So, thinking about it. I never did really describe any of the McGee's. I'll look through the interwebs and see if I can find some pics that I think would work for mama McGee, the Admiral and Val and if anyone wants to see them, let me know and I'll put them up with the next chapter =)
