Jethro had gone through all the papers on Jenny's study and he found nothing. Nothing at all. There were work papers, but nothing personal, not even a little. It was hurtful to be in her home, where everything belongs to her and smells like her and reminds him everything he could have, if he could have stopped her from leaving him. So, it was pretty hurtful, but if he could choose, then he would spend every second there, just to feel her close to him. Guess it's better than losing her entirely. But where she was ? It was not like her to disappear like that, but who knows what she's like after all. Jenny Shepard has always been a bit of mystery to him and to everybody else.
He decided to check with her driver Stanley, but he couldn't reach him. Stanley's phone was off and he didn't answer his pager. It's a little bit funny that the limo isn't here either. The limo is always here during the nights or when Jenny is not in. It only leaves NCIS building, if Jenny is in it... Maybe Jen is in it ? Maybe she has just taken a long road trip to somewhere ? But where and why ? Sure she would have sent out memos or let Cynthia do it... Exactly Cynthia... Jethro came to realize that the secretary should know, where the director is. She always knows.
Jethro took his jacket and ran to his car in order to drive to NCIS HQ. He was driving even faster that usually. He didn't care about the rules or lights, he just drove as fast as he could to his workplace. He parked and took an elevator to the director's floor. He walked to the office and Cynthia was sitting there.
'' Is the director in ? '' he asked politely.
Cynthia rolled her eyes and looked at Gibbs suspiciously. Then she shook her head.
'' She is not in and wasn't here yesterday either, '' Cynthia said.
'' Did she tell you about her plans ? '' Gibbs asked.
'' No, which is unusual for her. She usually makes plans and follows them and lets me know, if there is a change, '' Cynthia said.
'' You mind if I go into her office ? '' he asked.
Cynthia was taken by a surprise, but Gibbs was surprised by himself too.
'' I'm sure the director would mind, '' Cynthia said.
'' Thank you, '' Gibbs said and walked into Jenny's office.
Cynthia rolled her eyes. Gibbs never listens what she says, he is such a stubborn man.
Gibbs closed the door after him. The office was neat just like the last time he was there. Nothing has changed, but if she wasn't in here, then nothing could have been changed. Gibbs sat in her chair and looked at her papers on the table – it was all work related. Some of them were case reports, some where about workers and all such things. Those were not important to Gibbs, but he knew, that Jenny thought these were very important. She thought very highly of her job. She loved it and left him for this office a long time ago.
