Chapter 8: Rock climbing
They went bed early that night, exhausted from the days works. Ziva was the smart one and pulled two bunk beds together and pulled the sheets over both bunks so that it was now a double bed. Tony immediately shot gunned sleeping on the same bunk with Ziva. Tony was on the bottom and Ziva was on the top. The girls disappeared to their bathroom to shower and get ready for bed. The men changed in the room and climbed into bed. A few minuets the girls came back. Gibbs had to keep his mouth from opening. Jenny was wearing a pink, silk, night dress that had lace trimmings. It reached just to her knees and she had a matching dressing gown.
"Good night, Jethro," Jenny said.
"Night' Jen," Gibbs managed to joke out. Jenny climbed into her bunk with a smirk on her face.
Ziva was wearing a jumpsuit with lady bugs on it. They were short and Tony let out a whistle. Ziva smirked and climbed into her double bunk. Abby was sharing a bunk bed with McGee and she leant down and kissed him on the cheek.
"Night' McGee," She said happily. McGee blushed and said goodnight. They were all in bed but the light was still on.
"Some one get the light," Gibbs snapped. Ziva got up and quickly went and got the light. It was pitch black and Ziva made no noise.
"OUCH!" Tony suddenly cried and they could hear Ziva laughing.
The next morning they were awoken by a loud trumpet noise. Tony jumped up and hit his head on the top bed. He groaned and laid back down. Ziva was already sitting up, Abby grabbed her pillow and put it over her head, McGee was blinking and looked tired, Gibbs stretched and his joints cracked, Jenny moaned and went to roll over. Used to a big double bed and forgetting that it was only a single mattress she rolled to far. With a startled gasp she fell out of bed, taking her sheets with her. Everyone chuckled and Gibbs got out of bed. Jenny was struggling in her sheets, still tangled.
"Jen, stay still," Gibbs said and she stopped moving. Gibbs untangled her and helped her up. He hair was a mess and her night dress wrinkled. She straightened her self out and looked to Gibbs. He was trying hard not to laugh. She slapped him on the shoulder, grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom with Abby and Ziva.
Once they were all dressed they headed to the hall and had breakfast. Again, Lisa and Brad stood out the front.
"Today we are going to some rock climbing. Take the stairs to your left and down their is the indoor rock climbing wall. Be there in ten minuets," Lisa said, happily. Everyone continued to eat their breakfast, talking loudly. With two minuets to spare, they all got up and headed down the stairs.
Brad and Lisa were waiting for them already and smiled as they came in.
"OK, today we are learning about trust," Brad said. "Pick a partner from a different team and you will spot each other".
Tobias and Gibbs moved towards each other. Tony and Sacks went together, glaring at each other. Williams immediately went to Jenny, smiling brightly. She smiled weakly back. Harper went Abby, Hoops went with McGee and Phillips went with Ziva, giving her a wink.
Brad and Lisa showed them how to put there harness on and then showed them how to work the ropes.
"Why don't the FBI team go first," Lisa suggested. The FBI headed up the wall. Abby and Harper were on the easy one, McGee and Hoops were on the next level up, Tony and Sacks were on level three, Jenny and Williams were on level four, Gibbs and Tobias were on level five and Ziva demanded that her and Phillips go on level six, the hardest one.
Phillips was struggling on the hard one and was only half way when everyone else was on the top.
"Come on, Phillips," Ziva said impatiently. Phillips was trying to impress Ziva but was failing miserably. The FBI was all on the ground, except Phillips.
"encourage him," Lisa said, coming up to Ziva.
"If you don't get down here now, Phillips, I will throw my knife at you so you fall down. Dead or alive, I don't care," Ziva snapped.
"She meant encourage him to go up, Ziva. Not down," Tony said. Ziva just shrugged at him. Finally Phillips gave up and propelled down.
"Was harder than I expected," Phillips said, out of breath. He was trying to make it sound like he did rock climbing all the time. It was NCIS turn and they all switched places. As soon as they were allowed to go Ziva scaled the wall. Everyone, including Brad and Lisa, stopped and stared as the watched Ziva race up the wall.
"That's got to be a new record," Lisa said to Brad as Ziva propelled back down. The others started to move now, leaving Phillips to gawk at Ziva.
Abby and McGee were slow, Abby not used to climbing and McGee afraid of heights. Jenny was taking her time, her eyes wandering over to Gibbs every few seconds. He was a good climber and was done in five minuets. He grinned at Jenny as he propelled down and she shook her head.
From the bottom, Gibb watched Jenny climb. Tony was done and quickly went over to talk to Ziva, not liking the way that Phillips was looking at her. Williams was too busy watching Jenny's ass as she climbed. He had a stupid grin on his face the whole time and not really paying attention.
All of a sudden, Jenny foot slipped and she couldn't grab on to anything. Waiting to fell the strain on her harness so that she could get back to climb, but she didn't feel it. She kept falling, and she was near the top.
"WILLIAM'S!" Jenny screamed. Everyone turned and Gibbs looked horrified. She was falling. Williams made the rope go tight and Jenny bounced, slamming her head into the wall and hitting one of the grips. She hung there, her head forward and her eyes closed. Brad immediately took over from Williams who was apologizing profusely. The gently lowered Jenny down and Gibbs held her while they took the rope off her.
She had a cut on her head and the blood was gently trickling down her face. Jenny moaned and Gibbs still held her.
"First Aid," Lisa said and Gibbs followed her with Jenny still in his arms.
Jenny opened her eyes and looked around and the up to Gibbs.
"Jethro, put me down," Jenny cried. Gibbs ignored her. They were up in the great hall now and Lisa gave Gibbs the first aid.
"We're good here," Gibbs said, indicating for Lisa to leave. She nodded and headed back down to the rock climbing wall.
"I'm going to kill, Williams," Gibbs said, gently brushing her hair off her face. Jenny's heart started to beat faster.
"Don't say anything," Jenny said.
"If he wasn't to busy staring at you ass, than you wouldn't have this cut on your head," Gibbs said, getting out a cloth and wetting it. He gently wiped the blood off Jenny's face and cleaned the cut.
"At least someone was looking," Jenny muttered under her breath. Gibbs smirked.
Gibbs pulled out a band aid and Jenny saw it.
"No, please don't make me wear a band aid on my forehead," Jenny pleaded, blushing.
"Your still bleeding," Gibbs pointed out and began to rip the paper off.
"But they are ugly and disgusting," Jenny cringed.
"Nothing looks ugly on you," Gibbs said and put the band aid. He realized what he said before it was too late. His fingers gently brushed the band aid and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. Jenny stopped breathing. Gibbs leant forward slightly and kissed the band aid where her cut was.
Jenny looked up into his eyes, blushing slightly. She smiled. Before anything could happen they heard voices. The pulled back from each other. A few seconds later Tony, McGee, Abby, Ziva and the FBI came up. Abby immediately began worrying about Jenny and Gibbs moved aside, afraid that he would never get another chance.
