On the Wing of My Fancy


MERRY CHRISTMAS! This is the last update before Christmas! I'm trying to pick up the pace on the story. While in the real world, Christmas will come and pass, it's still three days before Christmas in the story. I'll have Gibbs and McGee put up some decorations and a tree, just in time for Christmas. Also, I'll have some goody McGibbs action, a few moments of weakness with a McNozzo moment and a Leroy/Tony fight... I will include background info on Savannah Winters within the next few chapters... Please read and review! I do so enjoy this story and those of you who are enjoying it as well :)


"Gibbs, I am sorry to disturb you, but Tony just got off the phone with Daniel MacAlswerth. He told me to call you and McGee. I assume that he with you? If not–"

"Uh-huh, he's with me, Ziva. We'll be there shortly. Where is DiNozzo, Ziva?" Gibbs interrupted Ziva for interrupting him with Tim.

"Oh my! I'm sorry, Gibbs. Tony is downstairs in Cybercrimes. The Director had them initiate a trace since you two never returned from lunch. Also–" Ziva said in a hurry, blushing.

"I said we'd be down there in a bit." Gibbs interrupted Ziva for the second time, disconnecting the call by closing the cell phone.

"Do we have to go in right now?" Tim looked down at Gibbs' hard member. "The guys in Cybercrimes are very good, well…"

"Unfortunately, we do, Tim." Gibbs looked down at Tim, naked as a jaybird in his bed. He kissed Tim passionately and ruffled his hair. "And no, they're not as good as you." Jethro went ahead to say what Tim was thinking just to make him blush.

"We don't ever get to have personal time anymore, Jethro," Tim complained as he was putting on his clothes.

"Well after this case, I'll take you camping, just the two of us. I've got plenty of personal days stored up. And I know for a fact you do too, Tim." Jethro said as he finished brushing his teeth. "Agent Suzuki!"

"Yes, sir? You called?" responded the Legal aid as she bowed.

"Please get David and bring him with us. His father made contact with us. I need him to come to NCIS." Jethro said with a touch of compassion in his voice. He had forgotten just how intimidating his gunny voice was to others.

"Yes, sir." Tsubame Suzuki replied.

In Probieland, as DiNozzo was so prone to call it, the geeks were scrambling around at the prospect that their boss's partner was coming to visit. DiNozzo hated visiting this place, especially without McTranslator. He never understood what McGee had said, but it was definitely easier to understand than having to talking to Cybercrimes without him. Why didn't the Director have Abby trace the call? Oh, wait, she left around 17h00, while Ziva and I were interviewing Daigh, that's right. Damn it! Where's Tim when you need him. Shit! I just called him Tim. Why do I do such stupid stuff? Ya know, even Kate was right!

Before he had realized it, Tony was in front of the door to Cybercrimes. He took a deep breathe, and pushed the door open. This is going to be torture! Well, here goes nothing…

"So, which one of you trolls has my trace?" DiNozzo inquired

One young man–being the definition of nerdy: wearing corduroy pants and jacket with a striped red shirt underneath and bottle cap glasses, brown curly hair that looked like the man just woke up (even though it was 20h00)–came up to Tony, wringing his hands out of nervousness. "Here is the information that you are looking for, sir." He said nervously as he handed the CD in the case over. "I-i-is it true?"

"Is what true, Agent Callahan?" Tony responded.

"I-i-is it true of Boss? Is he, ya know?" Agent Callahan said with a limp wrist.

"Get a grip, man! Does it matter if he's gay? Actually, to be correct, he would be bi, but that doesn't matter." Tony responded as if he were the one being insulted. An automatic head-smack went to the pondering agent.

"Sorry, I was just wondering if the rumors were true. I never figured him to be one." Callahan responded while rubbing the back of his head.

"It's not a disease, you dumbass! Thanks for the trace, I got work to do." Tony said as he stalked out of the division. Tony could feel his blood pressure rising, and he didn't really know why. Well, he did. The way Callahan was talking about Tim was pissing him off. But it was pissing him off because he had once made fun of McGee and the rise in his blood pressure was from guilt not from being mad, which was making him even madder. That had decided it. I'm going to apologize to Tim and I'm going to fight for him! I don't care that I have to go up against Leroy Jethro Gibbs! I will make it known to Tim that I love him. Even if it kills me that he will choose Gibbs, I will take him out once.

Back up in the bullpen, Gibbs and McGee were about to Daigh. "McGee, do you remember the name of the clerk that you and DiNozzo talked with when you picked him up?" pointing to Daigh.

"I sure do. Why, Boss?" replied McGee.

"Good, I want you to do a full background check on him."

"On it Boss."

As they were talking, Daigh was content with holding David. He rubbed their noses together and a smile appeared upon the little child.

"Agent Suzuki, do you know if Agent Yamato–"

"Is still in?" finished Agent Isuma Yamato. "Agent Gibbs, I heard that you were inquiring about a Savannah Winters. I just got a guilty verdict with a day's preparation, thank you all so much for the work that you do. I also hear that you are beginning to teach him ASL. How is the translation going, Tsubame-san?"

"Very good, sir." replied Agent Suzuki.

"Well, I've taken the next few days off. I would like you to stay with me as we attempt to help Agent Gibbs undergo this teaching experience. I think the two of us could benefit," continued Yamato.

"Very well, Agent Yamato. I would be delighted to help you. Ziva, where is that DiNozzo? He's supposed to have that trace information."

In Vance's office, Vance was pacing around and about the room. What was the word? Had that truly been Daniel calling? It would be best if he went downstairs and helped Team Gibbs.

Tony finally came back up to the bullpen and gave the disk to McGee. McGee put the disk in the computer and started his computer magic. He put up the location of the trace of the cell phone on the plasma. Glen Echo, Maryland.

Tony looked at Gibbs and motioned his head to follow him. When they were behind the stairs, Tony started, "Do you trust him, Boss?"

"Who, Daigh? Everything he said checked. I trust Ziva's decisions. He was honest about his INTERPOL file. I trust him…some. But keep an eye on him Tony."

With this, the two men went to rejoin the group.

"McGee, can you get to the street level origination of the call?" questioned Tony.

"Let me see. The call originated on Annan Drive, at 15978 Annan Drive." replied the tired young man.

Just then, Gibbs' desk phone started to ring.

*ring, ring* *ring, ring*

"Yeah, Gibbs."

"Would you like to explain why you and McGee took the rest of the day off without telling me?" asked Vance on the other side of the phone.

"We didn't take the rest of the day off, sir. Agent Suzuki, Tim, and I were discussing the case as Tim and I took food back to her and David. Her office has been dealing with our only suspect for the past two years with the death of a Lance Corporal Simon Vega. We spent the afternoon reviewing her case files with her at my house," explained Gibbs quietly, as not to disturb the rest of the team.

"Well you should have called and let me know what you were planning. I've been wondering were McGee was so he could to the trace. When I found out that Ms. Sciuto had gone home for the day, I had to call Cybercrimes to do the trace." Leon continued to lecture Gibbs.

"Yes, sir, it won't happen again. By the way, the call came from a residence in Glen Echo. Just thought you might want to know." Gibbs said as he hung up on the Director.

"Who was that, Boss?" inquired Tony.

"Vance, lecturing me that I shouldn't take McGee home in the middle of the day in case a trace is needed." answered Gibbs.

"Ziva, I want you to dig up everything you can on this Savannah Winters. It seems that she is an important person with Legal and may or may not know the MacAlswerths. Tony, I want you to help Ziva and bring over every bit of information to my house. McGee, you're coming with me. I want you all to be at my house by 07h00 in the morning with everything you find, and bring your appetite. Agent Yamato, would you and Agent Suzuki come over with your files as well."

"Agent Gibbs, what about me and David?" asked Daigh.

"You are going back to your hotel room with protection. I have a bad feeling that you are still in danger while here in town. I will give custody of David to you–since you are a blood relative–, but you will need a translator. Agent Yamato will provide one for you." Gibbs conceded quietly.

"Buíochas a ghabháil leat as do chabhair go léir. Thank you for all your help!" exclaimed Daigh.

As McGee got in the elevator, Jethro pulled him close and gave him a long kiss. "We're going to go home and finish what we started." Jethro whispered in Tim's ear before continuing to kiss him.

"But, Jethro, *kiss* what about that *kiss* background check?" Tim questioned breathlessly between each kiss.

"You're a good enough hacker…"

And with that, it was about ten minutes before the elevator was working. Gibbs really liked to kiss Tim. Those big, pouty lips simply begged to be kissed during the day and Gibbs had to keep in control of his passion.

After ten minutes, Gibbs had left a matching set of hickeys on the pale skin of his lover. He knew that he had better get Tim home before people got too suspicious, not that he cared.
