After much persuasion by Tori... I'm posting this chapter.
Sorry for the delay, I'm stuck trying to finish my biography for Robert Frost and analyzing fifteen of his poems.
Happy Memorial Day!

Chapter 3

"Coffee run, when I come back, those reports better be on my desk," Gibbs said grabbing his jacket and going into the elevator.

It was time for phase one of their top-secret case of getting rid of Hollis Mann. Tony looked around at his two colleagues and got eye contact. Ziva and McGee both nodded their head motioning him to ahead with phase one which was for him to call Genvieve into the office telling her that there was a missing piece in the puzzle of Eric's murder that she maybe could solve for them, after all, Eric's murder has turned into a cold case and in their spare time, they still looked out for more clues that would connect his murder to the current Director.

Tony picked up the phone dialing in the numbers on the piece on paper that Abby had given him. After the third ring, Genvieve picked up.

"Hello?" Genvieve answered, nothing at all like the tone that Jenny would use when she answered phones.

"Ms. Staton, it's Tony -- Agent DiNozzo," Tony replied.

"Oh, Tony!" Genvieve exclaimed remember the young agent. "How may I help you today?"

"Well, Ma'am," Tony started looking over at his colleagues who were watching his every move. He had to get this precisely to be bale to bait her and Gibbs into meeting without any suspicion. "There is a link in Petty Officer Andrew's death that we are... unsure of and we think you might be able to clear up for us."

"That so, Agent DiNozzo?" Genvieve asked him, her voice changing from the Genvieve that she had turned into the Jennifer Shepard.

"...Yes, Ma'am," Tony answered hesitantly flashing back to all the times that Jenny had used that tone of voice to him or anyone in the building. There really was some of Jenny left in Genvieve; it was just a matter of fishing it out of her.

"When do you need me to go there?"

"As soon as possible."

"Alright," Genvieve said hanging up her phone then giving her order at the coffee shop. She was so busy talking on the phone that she didn't notice that Gibbs had stepped inside that same coffee shop to order her favorite blend of Jamaican coffee with Colonel Mann at hand.

The trio drove to HQ without a hitch not knowing that they were following one another. Jenny had parked in the guest parking while Gibbs had parked in his unspoken parking space.

Jenny walked into the lobby seeing the elevator closing so she exclaimed, "Hold the elevator!"

A hand popped out in the middle of the closing doors to let her in. The owner of that hand regretting what he had done because of the fact that it was Genvieve Staton who had called out.

Genvieve stepped in the elevator looking back and forth from Hollis Mann to Gibbs. Hollis looked between Genvieve to Gibbs sensing an awkward aura between the two and wondering that had happened since she had left from Hawai'i and come back.

"Thanks," Genvieve replied looking at the agent that just last night had gone to her table and rudely addressed her. She still didn't know who exactly she was to him and his team before she was Genvieve Staton, when she was their Jennifer Shepard.

"I don't believe we have been introduced," Hollis stepped in reaching a hand out to Genvieve. "Hollis Mann."

"Genvieve Staton," she replied taking Hollis' hand and shaking it in a firm grip. Hollis looked at her curiously then back at Gibbs.

"Are you former Director Shepard's sister?" Hollis asked seeing the similarities between the two. In fact, the only thing that seemed to be different was the hair and the fact that Genvieve Staton didn't look stressed at all and didn't have dark lines under her eyes like she usually would.

"Jenny's?" Genvieve asked her trying to clear it up. She looked over at Gibbs who nodded his head clearing up the question for her. "No, I'm not her sister nor am I related at all at any point."

Hollis nodded scrunching her eyes. "Its... Its just that you look so much like her."

"I get that a lot," Genvieve replied glancing back at Gibbs. "But I assure you, I don't even know her."

The elevator ride had fallen silent after that, with the three of them just taking the ride up to the bullpen. It was something that Gibbs didn't realize until the elevator dinged and open to the floor.

"What are you doing here?" he asked pulling her aside and letting Hollis walk in front of them.

"Tony called me and said you guys needed me to answer something about Eric's murder," Genvieve replied walking to the bullpen seeing Hollis Mann already standing next to his desk looking at them expectantly. "I just want to bring justice for Eric's death."

Gibbs nodded looking over at his junior agent with a glare making a mental note to give him a head slap. Not in front of Genvieve of course.

"What was it that you guys found that you couldn't figure out?" Genvieve asked walking over to Tony's desk.

Gibbs walked over to where Hollis was sitting trying to ignore her questioning gaze that stayed on Genvieve Staton. He knew that Hollis would be asking about his relationship with her as well as her relationship to Jenny. Those were things he really didn't feel like answering.

"Well… uhm," Tony said hesitating, not knowing what to really say. "Ziva? Ziva knows."

Ziva glared at him promising to try some of her ninja skills on him once they were alone and there was nobody that could stand as witness.

The trio looked at Ziva expecting her to say something.

Yep, she really was just going to kill Tony.
