McGee tries really hard not to grumble at doing Tony's paperwork. He still couldn't believe what he found out about Tony's wrist. Tony's marksmanship is so much better than his. Tony has tried to help get better at it, but he is still not as confident about having to fire a gun as the rest of the team. It sure doesn't help that he still doesn't know if he killed that cop or the partner did. Tony was his biggest supporter then; now it is his turn to support Tony and to do whatever he can to make his life easier with that brace on.

Tim's phone interrupts his thoughts.

"McGee."

"Agent McGee there is a woman here to see Agent DiNozzo. She says her name is Alexis Watts." The downstairs guard announced.

"Alright have someone escort her up. I will wait for her up here."

After a few minutes the elevator opens up and the guard walks out with the most beautiful woman Tim has ever seen; and just his luck she is here to see Tony. Man some people have all the luck.

"Hi, I am Agent Tim McGee. Agent DiNozzo should be up shortly." Tim introduced.

"Alexis Watts, but I suppose you already know that."

There is so many questions he wants to ask, but won't. He already got into trouble once for spying on Tony. Although Tony invades their privacy constantly; but he has never used anything bad against them. Tim couldn't even imagine how he would feel if while Tony was invading his privacy found out something horrible and humiliating. Tony had done everything he could to hide his damaged wrist from everyone. Now everyone knows about it and probably could also suspect why. What other way does a twelve year old break the same wrist 5 times? Especially considering the first person and the only person, he meant to tell was a 15 year old girl who had been the victim of child abuse.

"So Agent McGee, I heard you like to play computer games and that you are a whiz on the computer. I have been known to spend many nights playing computer games. I especially like the role playing ones." Alexis spoke up with a smile.

Tim looks at her confused; how does she know that about him? How does she know Tony? Maybe she is lying to get in the building; after all it has happened before.

Alexis sees the confused look on Tim's face. "Tony had mentioned it."

Before Tim could answer, Tony came in. "Axie! What are you doing here? What did you bring me?" He called excitedly as he came up to her.

Gibbs, Ziva, Abby and Tim look on confused.

"Everyone this is Alexis Watts; she owns a photo studio. The one I took Jessica too yesterday. It is also a modeling agency. Whenever she is done with her designer clothes that are my size, she gives them to me. How else do you think I could afford all those designer suits on a federal agency's salary?" Tony explained before turning back to Axie. "So what did you bring me?"

"It is down in my car. I have quite a bit. I even have some clothes for Jessica the next time you see her."

"Which will be tonight; she is my foster daughter. Any Armani?"

"Do I ever not bring you Armani? Congratulations, I will start saving more clothes for Jessica." Alexis smiled.

"So how did you two meet?" Gibbs asked.

"Freshman year, Ohio State. We dated for a week before deciding that it wasn't going to work out. But he remained my best friend. He even stayed with me for a month when he first to moved to DC while he looked for his own apartment." Alexis answered when it seemed Tony wasn't going to.

"Boss, I am going to take my break and see what Axie brought for Jessica." Tony announced and thought and me.

"Sure go ahead; take your time." Gibbs answered. Normally he wouldn't let Tony take off like that; but Tony is on desk duty until he passes his marksmanship test. Besides he could see that Tony could use a break after all the talking and whispering going on behind his back.

"Agent McGee, would you like to come too." Alexis offered.

McGee looks to Tony to see if it was okay with him if he went. After all Alexis is his friend. Tony just shrugs his shoulders implying that he doesn't care.

Tony and McGee watched as Alexis drove away. They both had garment bags full of designer clothes. Tony even had an extra bag for Jessica. He will give her the clothes slowly; on days he can see that she really needs it. In the beginning there will be more bad days than good ones.

Gibbs came down as the boys said goodbye to Alexis.

"Come on Tony; we have to go get Jessica and then head on over to Bethesda. McGee, go back and finish your reports." He ordered.

"Yes Boss." McGee answers as he walks back inside.

As Gibbs drives he keeps an eye on Tony who is quietly staring out the window.

"So your friend Alexis gave Jessica some nice clothes." Gibbs commented.

Tony turns to stare at his mentor and surrogate father. "What?" He asks confused.

"You want to know what I think is ridiculous, all the times you complain about where I get my clothes and you get yours for free." Gibbs teases.

Tony smiles but doesn't answer.

"So what type of clothes did you pick out for Jessica?" Gibbs asks.

"Designer ones; but don't tell her." Tony begged.

Gibbs sneaks a peak at him confused. "Why not?"

"I will give them to her one at a time; when I can see that she needs it."

Gibbs still can't understand what Tony is getting at.

"When will she need it?"

"You won't see it in her. But there will be days when the laughs and smiles are fake; when life seems to be too much to handle. Those are the days when she needs it. Something beautiful and expensive to help her to look at herself in the mirror. Because it is really hard to hate yourself when you are wearing something that normally costs $600."

Gibbs listens to Tony talk. He knew that Tony has hard days where it seems that he is trying too hard to fit in and there are days where he makes a big deal about the designer clothes he wears to work. But he never imagines that it was because Tony was hating himself.
