A/N: Okay this is it! The last thing to this story! I wish all real cases of child abuse could have this ending. But sadly they don't. Please Read and Review. :D
Gibbs walked calmly through the well-trimmed grass. The sound behind told him that his team was following. He'd brought Abby, Ducky, Tony, Ziva, and McGee to the great event. He'd been here so many times recently, but they hadn't.
The sound of happy soccer fans grew louder as they approached the field. He smiled when he saw Lindsey running up and down the field in warm-ups. Gibbs and his team found their team's side of the bleachers. The group of six filed in and sat down. A familiar voice called out to Gibbs.
"Agent Gibbs, god to see you again; looks like you brought a big group with you today." It was one of the many soccer moms he had befriended. This one was the mother of one of Lindsey's two best friends.
"Hello Tonda, god to see you too; and this group of people are my team of agents, my medical examiner, and my forensic scientist: Tony, McGee, Ziva, Abby, and Dr. Mallard. Team, this is Tonda, the mother of the left side defender. Her daughter, Sierra, is Lindsey's best friend. And over there," Gibbs smiled as he pointed to another mother two yards away, "Is the mother of Lindsey's other best friend, Micaela. Her name is Melissa, and her daughter is the right side defender. Hi Melissa!" She waved back and nodded a hello to the team.
"Well, Lindsey is such a joy, and a great kid." Tonda nodded in agreement to what Melissa said.
Tonda spoke. "That's right. Both our daughters were new this month and Lindsey was the first person they talked to in the whole school."
Melissa smiled. "They were instant friends, and they work so well on the field." Both soccer moms turned away and Gibbs turned to his team. His voice was just a whisper.
"She saw an opportunity to make friends with people that hadn't heard the rumors about her. They connected really well." The team nodded and Abby squealed.
"The game is starting!" They all turned their attention to the field. He saw Lindsey sprint onto the field. He called out.
"Go Lindsey!" At the sound of his voice she looked over. She smiled a wide, joyful smile when she saw the rest of the team. She turned away and ran to her defenders. They chatted for a minute, before high fiving and getting into positions.
The game went well. Lindsey was like Superman: coming out of nowhere, and making great plays. Their team won three to one. After a chat with the coach, Lindsey walked over to the stands, in search of Gibbs and the rest of his gang. They weren't there. Her friends sprinted up and she put her arms around them. They headed to the parking lot. Her friends ran off to their cars with swift goodbyes.
Lindsey headed for the sidewalk, ready to walk home, when she spotted them. They stood there, all smiling at her. She laughed at how they stood, like a team of action heroes, but they were her heroes. She sprinted to them and ran into Gibbs. She pulled him into a tight hug. Then she hugged the rest of them, saving Abby's super huge hug for last.
"Oh my God, you guys all came! I can't believe it." She smiled and laughed. Gibbs smiled at her, a smile she knew all too well. She called it their 'secret knowing' smile.
"Well you needed a ride home, and we couldn't agree, so we all came." Tony's joke made her laugh again. A sweet sound they all cherished. It was a sign that she was okay, happy.
The group turned and walked toward their cars. They all put their hands either around each other or on Lindsey. They all walked of, smiling, laughing, and protecting one another. It was their jobs. They protected Lindsey from the physical stuff, and she helped them with their mental stuff. They were the perfect team, and that's the way it was meant to be.
A/N: Okay, that's it! Bye people! Please review. Tell me if I should write more with these characters.
