Chapter 10

(Picks up about a month or so after last chapter)

"Thanks for coming in." Jenny said sitting across from Kelly and Nick in her office.

"Of course, is everything alright?" Kelly asked.

"Everything's fine, I have an offer for both of you." Kelly and Nick both looked at each other.

"What kind of offer?" Nick asked.

"I would like to offer both a job here at NCIS, Kelly we need someone with your computer science expertise and Gibbs is looking for a new Agent." Jenny said.

"What would I do exactly?" Kelly asked.

"You would help Abby in her lab." Jenny replied.

"I assume that becoming an agent will take some time." Nick said looking over to Kelly.

"Yes but until you do Gibbs will let you follow them and see how things are done. You don't have to decide now, I can let you talk it over."

"No, I think we both know, right?" Nick said looking over to Kelly who nodded.

"We'll take it." They both said at once.

"Great we can't wait to have you on the team. It will be at least a week before you can start work but in the mean time you have to undergo various interviews and a physical will be needed from Nick." Jenny explained. "My secretary will set you up with everything."

"Thank you Jenny for doing this." Kelly said hugging her when they stood up.

"It's nothing we need more people and it was actually your dad who suggested it after he found out you had lost your job." Jenny smiled.

"Well thank you all the same." Kelly smiled back.

"Of course now go home to that sweet little boy of yours." Jenny smiled and the couple walked out holding hands.

One Week Later:

Kelly stood in front of her mirror looking at her body, mostly her now noticeable baby bump that she was sporting. She and Nick were starting their jobs at NCIS only she was having a hard time deciding what to wear.

"Just wear something nice, you'll have a lab coat anyway." Nick said from the bathroom.

"How does this look?" Kelly asked stepping in behind him to show him the pair of black slacks and sheer white top with a black clammy underneath.

"you look fine honey, very sexy." She glared at him as she fixed her hair.

"Are you almost ready we need to drop Lucas off on our way into work."

"Yeah I'm ready if you are." Nick replied tightening his tie.

"You look really hot in that." Kelly smirked.

"Does it turn you on?" Kelly rolled her eyes and walked back into the bedroom.

Gibbs led Kelly into Abby's lab where they were greeted by Abby.

"You must be Kelly." Abby squeaked hugging Kelly tightly.

"Yeah you must be Abby, I guess we are going to be working together." Kelly said a little shocked.

"Yep, oh I am so glad we are going to work together." Abby said happily.

"I'm just glad I finally have a job."

"Cheers to that, how about I show you around the lab." Abby suggested.

"Sounds good."

"I'll leave you two to get to know one another." Gibbs said before walking back to the elevator.

It was amazing how well the two women bonded, having common interests will do that to a woman. Kelly felt at home in the lab, like her father she was hands-on and loved thinking outside of the box. The computers were better than anything she had ever worked on before at her old law firm where she was a… Well that doesn't really matter, all you need to know is it was a crap job that paid horrible.

"Everything okay Kelly?" Abby asked noticing her stair off.

"Yeah sorry I was just thinking, what were you saying?" She asked smiling slightly.

"You sure? I'm here to talk if you need to." Abby said turning from the computer to face Kelly.

"Thanks, but I really am fine, it's just strange having my dad back and a job at NCIS." Kelly sighed.

"I can imagine, I have a brother that I didn't know I had that is a part of my life now."

"That's slightly similar. So what are we working on?" Kelly said wanting to jump into whatever it was she needed to do.

"Well you've just showed up in the middle of a case somewhat but right now we are trying to match security photo's to criminal database and some DNA we found at the crime scene."

"What do you need me to do?" Kelly asked.

"Well your good with computers, how about you showing me what you can do with this." Abby said handing Kelly a laptop.

"Sure what do you want."

"Whatever you can find that was on the flash drive that might be pertinent."

"Okay I can manage that." Kelly smiled sitting down at the table and starting up the computer. "Man I hate security passwords." Kelly smirked. She worked for close to three hours on the computer when her dad came in.

"How's it coming?" He asked coming up behind her.

"The guy had a lot of documents but nothing that's jumping out at me."

"Were there any document's that were blueprints?"

"Actually there were, these, I assumed they were for work but maybe not." She said pulling up the three sets of blueprints.

"No, these aren't right the measurements are off." Gibbs said reviewing the prints.

"Hold on let me try something, it might take a minute." Kelly said typing away at the computer.

"Abby you said you had something for me." Gibbs said turning to his almost daughter.

"Yeah, do you have something for me?" She asked holding out her hand.

"Oh right, sorry." He said grabbing the Caf-pow from next to Kelly.

"Thank you. Okay so we finally got a match for the DNA but I had to go into the Military database to find him. The names Major Frank Burns." Kelly spun in her chair to face them.

"Seriously?" She smiled almost laughing.

"What?" Abby and Gibbs said at the same time.

"Tell me you have watched M*A*S*H, that's one of the characters names. Major Frank Burns, he was in the first few seasons."

"Right, I knew I had heard that name. Gibbs I can't believe you don't know that." Abby said looking at Gibbs.

"He wouldn't know his show was Texas Ranger." Kelly laughed.

"That was a great show, I can't believe you remember that."

"I remember lots of things about you." Kelly smiled.

"Can we get back to the case?" Abby asked and Gibbs turned his full attention back to her.

Well only slightly, his mind was still on Kelly and the fact she was sitting in the same room as him at this very moment and he was acting like there was nothing wrong. He knew she wasn't telling him everything and she was lying about more than just how she was feeling. Maybe it was time to turn to his son-in-law. If he knew what was good for him he would spill.
