Gibbs had opted out of a bag to carry his purchase in, he had also had the short sword sent to her house. Mostly because he didn't want anyone to know he bought them, plus the sword would have been hard to carry about the mall. Sure they were gifts for Faith, but he didn't want to give it to her in front of everyone. She would likely kill him. He made his way to the food court. He noticed the group almost right away for Faith was flirting with some guys and Tony and McGee had their arms full of bags and boxes. Likely belonging to Abby and Arrow. He had to smirk at the sight of his boys being used as bag boys. He noticed Faith glance his way, noting his late arrival. Thinking quickly he patted his gun, making her think he had stayed behind to buy one. She rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the guys before her. He felt a pin in his stomach as he watch her laugh at something a guy said and run her hand over his arm. He moved over to Abby who was talking to Arrow at a table. He leaned down and kissed her on the head.

"Having fun Abs?"

"Yes! This is great! We really should do this more often." She reached up and hugged Gibbs.

He returned the hug, then moved over to the side, but he was still in hearing distance of them. He noticed Arrow nod her head towards Faith.

"We come to the mall to do some shopping and instead of buying clothes she picks up guys." Arrow giggled.

"I think Faith could pick up guys anywhere she goes." Abby pointed out.

"This is true."

"Has she had any serious relationship?" Abby asked.

He noticed Arrow shoot a glance his way.

"Sadly no. Not for the lack of trying on her part either. Faith hasn't found a guy that can handle her I guess. Or you know not use her for sex." Arrow glanced back over to Faith and watched her as she laughed and flirted with guys.

"Do you know of anything that happened to her after she turned 16?" Abby asked Arrow.

Gibbs looked over to the girls. Faith had yet to lay out her whole life year by year, but he knew some of what happened to her after the time in question. He could tell that Arrow did know some things as well, but those things were not something to be shared with Abby.

"No sorry Abs. Faith is very closed off about her past. Hell she's closed off about her present. I mean if I hadn't already guessed it happened I never would have know that she slept with T..." Arrows eyes shot to Gibbs then back to Abby. "T...T...Tiffany. A girl I work with." She seemed to cover.

Gibbs wondered who the girl was actually going to say. Gibbs noticed that Faith was glaring at Arrow now from where she was standing. He watched as Arrow seemed to wince and look away. He watched as Faith walked over then, stopping behind Arrow and placing a hand on her shoulder. Arrow seemed to wince more and tried to slid down her seat, apparently trying to get away from Faith's grip. So Faith had slept with people during her stay here. What was he thinking, of course she had. Giving recent information he knew she at least would have had sex with someone after what happened in her basement that day the whole team had been at her house. Otherwise she never would have looked as healthy as she did when she had come to see him that night. He wondered if this T person had been the one she had been with that day.

"Maybe we should go," Faith said.

"But we're not done shopping," Abby said.

Faith sighed and glanced over at Tony and McGee. A small smile played on her lips.

"Seriously? Alright. How about this. You two finish shopping and me and whoever follows me will meet you where we started and then head for lunch. Okie?"

"I thought this day was supposed to be about the three of us?" Abby said.

Faith closed her eyes.

"You're right. But you can't smoke in here. So I am going to take a smoke break and then come find you alright."

Abby frowned but Faith shook her head. Probably saying Abby wasn't going to win that argument.

She then let go of Arrow, who seemed very glad about the fact, and made her way out of the food court and towards the escalator. Gibbs glanced to Tony and McGee, figuring neither of them could follow her he decided he was going to. Plus it gave them that much more alone time. Though he wasn't sure if that was a good thing, or why he wanted it. It seemed since he had met the girl they had had little time alone, truly alone anyway. Though being alone didn't seem to matter for both times they had kissed someone from the team had been nearby. The first time at her house Tony had been in the hall, though he was out of it for whatever reason. And then today Tony, McGee, Abby and Faith's friend Arrow had been in the same space as them. Though their also had been several others that had blocked their view of each other. What had he been thinking?

When he got off the bottom of the escalator he had to jog to catch up with Faith. Only problem was he couldn't see her. A few people had walked in his way and when they moved she wasn't in sight. He wondered if she was trying to hide from him. He slowly walked around. Maybe she had gone outside. Making his way to the door he stepped out. He blinked a few times to get his eyes to adjust to the difference in light. Looking both ways he didn't see any sign of Faith. Sighing he looked at the stores near the mall. Choosing a direction he started walking, figuring he could look in windows.

Gibbs couldn't believe he had lost Faith. Though with her talents it wasn't that hard for her to pull it off he was sure. He had got to the corner of the mall and was walking by an alley when an arm sprang out and grabbed him by the coat, pulling him into the alley. He reached for his gun but he hand was caught and he was shoved against the wall. He looked up to see Faith smirking at him.

"Took you long enough." She said letting his hand go and crossing her arms.

"Jesus Faith."

"What? I was afraid you would walk right past me," she said.

She stepped forward and placed both hands on either side of him. Gibbs had a feeling what she was about to do and part of him wanted to stop her, but another part wanted to let her do it. Hell a part of him wanted to be the one to feed her so she wouldn't have to have sex with anyone else in order to be fed.

She pressed her body against his and leaned in close. His breath caught in his throat as he waited for the kiss to come. She brushed her lips against his teasingly. Her tongue then flickered out to lick her lips. She moved in close and acted like she was going kiss him, but never doing so. She was driving him wild. And he knew she knew that. He could almost feel her smirking in the dark alley. She finally leaned in and kissed him. He returned the kiss with passion. He was about to place his hands on her side when he heard a voice at the head of the alley.

"Faith?" Arrow's voice called out.

Faith broke the kiss and dropped her head, resting it on his chest.

"Fuck me." She growled, which for some reason made him laugh. She looked up at him, giving him a look like he was crazy. Then she started laughing. For some reason he felt like a teenager having been caught by one of his buddies kissing the girl he liked under the bleachers. She pushed off the wall and made her way over to her friend. Gibbs followed her, still smirking.

"Oh," Arrow said when she saw Faith, but then she saw Gibbs and her eyes went wide. "Oh... OH! Oh my god. I'm sorry did I..."

But Faith cut her off. "Its cool Arrow. What's up?"

"We're done. Abby wanted to come find you, but I told her I would." She shrugged sheepishly.

Gibbs noticed a few bags in her hand. He wondered how much the girls had bought. He also wondered about Faith, why she didn't buy anything. He assumed she had money. For she had to have a way to pay for the hotel when she had been staying there. But he wasn't going to ask her. He felt like that would be accusing her of something.

They walked into the mall together. Arrow and Faith whispering ahead of him. He saw Abby with Tony and McGee in the center of the area. As he got closer he felt bad for McGee and Tony. They had been holding boxes and bags for a while now. When Faith got closer she grabbed a few boxes from Tony. Gibbs did the same to McGee.

"Thanks Boss," McGee sighed.

"This is why I never go shopping with women," He whispered to him. He saw a smile creep onto McGee face.

"SO!" Faith clapped her hands together loudly. "What do we want to eat?" she asked looking around. Everybody started rambling things off. After a few minutes Faith held up her hands. "Ok you know what. How about we go to my place and I will cook for everyone."

"Really?" Abby asked.

Gibbs could see the excitement in her eyes. Clearly she hadn't been to Faith's before.

"Sure why not. I have an outdoor dinner room and a pool we can make it a barbecue type thing. Plus it would get rid of the hassle of having to drag all these bags and boxes into a restaurant." She laughed the last part. "Ok so who brought cars?"

"We came in one of the SUV's." Tony said from behind a box.

"Oh. Well I … walked." She said. She looked to Arrow.

"Ya I... walked too."

"Oui."

Gibbs knew what Faith was thinking. There was no way they all would fit into the SUV along with all the bags and boxes. And he had a feeling that Faith hadn't walked here. "OK. Arrow, Abby you take the SUV since you two have all the crap... I mean stuff. Tony, McGee will take a cab. And Gibbs can ride with me."

"In what? You just said you walked," Abby pointed out.

"Uh ya, but I uh have a motorcycle in the shop and lucky me they called when I was on my smoke break telling me it was finished. So we can walk there. Pick it up and meet you at my house."

"Oh."

"You have a motorcycle?" McGee asked.

"Yes," Faith said deadpan.

"Why does that not surprise me," Tony groaned. Clearly about to lose his grip on the boxes.

Faith chuckled softly.

"Alright lets go before Tony dies under those boxes."

Everyone laughed except Tony.

"Hey we didn't buy that much," Abby joked.

"No Abby you just bought the whole mall." She stuck her tongue out and jumped out of reach as Abby try to slap her playfully.

"You're so bad," she chuckled.

"I know. Don't you love it. Wanna spank me?" She winked.

Abby tried to slap her again, but again she moved out of reach.

"Wait. Guys?"

They stopped walking to look at McGee.

"McGee this better be good or I will kill you." Tony grumbled.

"Men are such babies," Faith whispered.

Gibbs smirked.

"We left the SUV were we meet."

As it all dawned on them they looked to Tony.

"Give me a break!"

Just then his arms seemed to lose their strength as the boxes went tumbling forward. In the blink of an eye Faith was in front of them catching the boxes before they hit the floor.

"Let me hold these. You can go get the car," Faith said.

Tony looked at Faith like she was an angel. "Oh god yes," he said.

He let his arms fall to his side and he stood there for a while before standing up straight and walking off. As they waited Gibbs noticed they had separated again. Abby and Arrow were looking in a store window. McGee was leaning against the wall of a building, probably trying to help take some weight off his back and shoulders. And Faith was leaning against a light pole looking into the sky. Gibbs slowly made his way over to her, before stopping a few steps away.

"I thought you told us vampires couldn't be in the sun?" he whispered, knowing she could hear him.

"I also told you I was a special case. And that very old vampire could be in the sun." She looked sideways at him.

"Do you really have a motorcycle in the shop?"

"Nope. Not in the shop anyway. I have one back where I was before here. I hadn't planned on staying this long so I didn't bring it. Looks like I will need to go get it."

"So how are we..." But he cut off at the smirk on her face. He heard laughing and glanced over at Arrow and Abby.

"Don't worry, Arrow won't say anything."

"Like she almost didn't say something at the food court."

Faith frowned. "I admit sometimes Arrow's mouth moves faster then her brain, but she wont tell about you and me."

"How can you be so sure?"

Her head snapped to him. "Cause I know." The look in her eyes... it was different. It seemed darker somehow.

The SUV pulled up to the curb then and Tony got out. Abby and Arrow made their way over to the car, piling their things in the back seat. As McGee and Faith walked over they took the boxes and bags from them and placing them in the car too. When everyone was free Abby got in the passenger seat as Arrow went to get behind the wheel.

"Meet you guys there." Faith said. She then waved as they drove off. Faith then step into the street aways and hailed a cab for Tony and McGee. "Try NOT to break anything boys." She smirked before closing their cab door.
