Amanda Henrietta Gibbs: Daughter of the Boss
"Gibbs, you are not going alone," Jenny said as Gibbs strode put of MTAC. SHe followed him down the stairs and into the bullpen before standing in front of him, between him and the elevator.
"You wanna bet?" Gibbs growled. "That bitch has my daughter, and my agent. All because of you. So you'll forgive me if I don't listen to you at this precise moment Jennifer."
Jenny glared at him.
"Special Agent Gibbs, we will do everything we can in order to rescue Amanda and Ziva, but till then you keep put and keep quiet," she said. "I will be lenient at this moment in time but trust me, I will bench you if you keep behaving like this."
Gibbs looked away, avoiding eye contact.
"You don't know how it is, Jenny," he said sadly. "She's all I have left now."
Jenny reached into her bag and pulled out a photo from her purse. A young boy, aged maybe 2 or 3 years old.
"I had a son once," she said. "Before you knew me, before I joined NCIS. His dad was a marine, I dated him in high school. His name was Tom Jasper Shepard and he was born May 2nd 1982. In 1987, his first day of kindergarten, his class was held hostage by a known murder named Benji Wallace. When he realised he was going to be captured, he set off a bomb in the classroom, killing himself and 17 kids including Tom.
"I waited for 7 hours outside that school behind a police barrier, and I watched flames tear through the wall in front of me, taking from me the thing I loved most. The bomb was made in Iraq and sold to Wallace by La Grenouille. Did I blame Grenouille for my father's suicide? No. But he killed my baby boy, and he deserved that bullet through his head."
Gibbs was shocked.
"Jenny..." he began.
"Don't, " Jenny replied. "This has all been for him, the whole chase after Grenouille. I wasn't deluded at all Jethro, I know he killed my son."
"But hold on a minute, why Amanda?" Gibbs said. "Why not just Ziva? Or why not kidnap you and Tony?"
"Because Jeanne wants me to hurt," Jenny explained. "And what better way to hurt me than be replicating the death of my son...With his cousin."
NCIS
"Amanda, it'll be OK," Ziva said, rubbing the girl's back. The pair were sat at the centre of a circus tent, the clown and two armed men watching them. Also in the room were a young father and his son, an older man and a college aged couple.
"Be quiet!" Jeanne strode into the tent.
Ziva turned to her.
"Let the children go, they have nothing to do with this," she declared.
"They have everything to do with this," Jeanne told her. "Jenny Shepard wants to hurt me by killing my father like her father died. So I'll kill Amanda Gibbs just like her cousin died 21 years ago."
"Cousin?" Amanda said, surprised.
"Did you not know your uncle Clyde used to get off with Jenny Shepard?" Jeanne smirked.
Chapter is over.
