I waited outside the Director's office since he was briefing with someone. A few minutes and a man came out and gawked at my outfit and bruises.
"Are you alright? I wasn't sure if he was talking about my well being or my mental wellness.
"I'm doing great" I squinted at his badge "Special Agent Holden"
He nervously spluttered nonsense then moved past me with a taut "Good day ma'am"
Director Leon as usual at his desk chewing on an tooth pick. He stood up when I entered and sat when I did. "How are you feeling?"
"Good, you?"
He nodded "Fine. But I'm not the one who is being stalked by her friend"
"I'm not being stalked anymore, and Rino is currently in custody guarded by men that Gibbs picked out. I'm pretty sure I'm safe.
"That's right...before all of this happened I had a job for you, and I'm only going through with this because I feel as if your strong enough and smart enough to do it. But if your not feeling up to the task"
I sat up straighter "I am, I am!"
"Here" He gave me sealed dark blue laminated envelope.
"So read it then call you?" I wasn't aware on how this worked.
"No call Tony"
"Why would I call Tony?"
"Gibbs would never allow me to send you off somewhere without back-up so I chose Tony to go with you."
"Why not bring Ziva, why did you choose me?"
"Because Ziva is trained to know what is forensic evidence and what isn't and I believe that you have been around Gibbs and the team to know how to keep below the radar, how to play the game. I believe in you"
"I won't let you down Director"
My testimony for Rino's trial was almost two months away Leon had estimated this would take about a month to finish up. The objective was to befriend the next door neighbors who had been on the run for a long time. They wanted us to find a valuable chip full of the governments most sacred secrets that they would pay any amount of money to keep away from the public. They weren't even sure that they had stolen the chip but they were sure they were up to no good. N.C.I.S was doing the F.B.I a huge favor letting them borrow their most prized forensic specialist.
"Honey I'm home!" Tony yelled from the doorway throwing his empty briefcase on towards the chair and missing.
"Where did you go any way, it's not like you really have a job"
"No I actually have a job here, at a firm downtown. All I do is paperwork since they were doing a favor for the F.B.I. Fun!" He sat next to me on the sofa taking the bag of potato chips out of my hands.
"What did you do?"
"Watch them" I flicked the channel back to channel two that showed four split screens showing the outside of the house and one camera in the living rom they had snuck in by a agent posing as the cable guy.
"What have these two spooks been up too?"
"Absolutely nothing ,they're boring"
"They're bound to do something interesting. Lets go over there"
"Now?"
"Yeah it's time to meet our neighbors."
Tony wrapped an arm around my waist as we waited for them to answer the door. The porch light was off even though it was getting late so you could see their feet shuffling by the door. Deciding if they should answer it or not.
The door creaked open.
A slim brunette just a foot taller than her stocky husband stood in the door way. They both accessed us quickly wondering who the hell we were. Even though I was sure they had seen our pictures when they did back ground checks on us. Too bad they wouldn't find damn thing. I was too good at my job.
"Can we help you?" She asked nervously, trying to sound steady.
"Hello I'm Lauren Needleton and this is my husband Matt and we just moved next door and we wanted to introduce ourselves." Tony and I even looked like suburbans.. Me in my black slacks and a dressy blouse him in his suit that he wore to work earlier.
Holly stepped back, "Come on in"
We had a few drinks and Holly started to loosen up while her husband stayed tense and with a constipated expression. The conversations we were talking about didn't revolve around each other more about sports and our favorite drinks. When it started to get late I thought it was time to go home before they kicked us out.
"I'm sorry you guys but I think we've over stayed out stay."
The husband (Richard) spoke up "Come back tomorrow if you can we're grilling"
Tony topped off his beer "How can we pass that up?"
"You can't! So be here!" Holly hollered drunkenly.
"What do you think?" Tony asked me when we got through the door, heading upstairs.
I shrugged "They like us. But Richard threw me off when he invited us back"
"Yeah, he might be a little suspicious but we can smooth that over"
I yawned, "We should go to bed. I mean you must have had a long day at work"
"Aha" He laughed sarcastically behind me.
I showered first, and dressed in what I wore ordinarily to sleep in a large over sized tee but I added a pair of boy shorts since I was sleeping in the bed with Tony. When he came out, in a pair of boxers he was holding his neck in pain.
"I think I sprained a muscle in my neck!"
"What were you doing in the shower to pull a muscle?" I patted the space in front of me "Come sit down I think I can help"
He sat. "Not what you have in your head"
I scooted up further and squirted some of the lotion from the bottle I was using for my legs into my hands and began working on his shoulders. Making sure that he was relaxed when I moved towards his collarbone.
"Ow, wow your amazing Ab's" He leaned back towards me. The muscles in his shoulders softened and the pain he had in his neck dissipated.
"Thanks" He pulled my arm from his shoulder and kissed it.
I leaned over pressing my lips to his ear. He took the initiative twisting around slanting over my body so that we lay flat on the bed. Soft, wet kisses of his trailed down my neck followed by a sting of electricity. His hands pulled down on my pajamas.
"Do you have anything...?" I asked ambiguously.
He looked up catching my eye "Only if your sure" His hands crawled underneath my shorts his index finger flicked under neath the band of my panties. I tugged his face closer, kissed him, and nodded.
