0530 hours the next morning Gibbs' alarm clock rings, Jenny groans in protest. "Shut that thing off."

"I will if you would get off of me." Gibbs mumbles.

Jenny rolls over on to her side and buries her face into her pillow, Gibbs reaches over and slaps at the button. "Rise and shine Shepard."

"Do I have to?" Jenny whines.

"You're the one who decided to go back to work remember."

"Right!" Jenny sighs.

"Ready for phase three?"

"You got to be kidding me."

"No I'm not." Gibbs growls.

"Which position this time around?" Jenny yawns.

"You howling up against the wall inside of the shower." Gibbs smirks and throws the covers back. "Move!"

Jenny reluctantly throws her legs over the side of the bed. "Can't this wait until Saturday morning?"

"No!" Gibbs laughs and shoves Jenny off of the bed.

"Good thing about phase three is you won't be able to torture me for very long, Noemi should be coming over around six o'clock." Jenny laughs and walks off for the doorway.

"Don't under estimate me." Gibbs snorts and climbs out of bed.

A minute later inside of the shower, Gibbs has Jenny pinned up against the wall. "Harder you bastard!" She screams out with pleasure, digging her nails up against the back of his shoulders.

"Harder, I'll have to retile my shower enclosure." Gibbs groans.

"Good, because your bathroom is stuck on the '80's and needs to be upgraded." Jenny moans out.

Downstairs Noemi has come to work a half an hour earlier, hearing the sound and fury of her two bosses from the upstairs bathroom with the water running inside of the shower. "I see Senora has made up with her little body." Noemi giggles and walks into the kitchen.

Back upstairs, Jenny runs her tongue along Gibbs jawline. "Damn it!" He moans out as his body loses control, with a final thrust he explodes inside of her in a fiery release. Jenny wraps her arms around his neck. "Any more teasing and I'll have your ass up in bed as soon as we walk through that door tonight." Gibbs says between breaths.

"Impossible!" Jenny mumbles against his shoulder.

"Why is that?"

"I have to oversee an op in MTAC at 2300 hours tonight."

"You have to come home at some point." Gibbs smirks and puts Jenny down on to her feet.

Grabbing on to the shampoo bottle. "Remember what comes around goes around Jethro." Jenny warns him.

"I know and you attacks are unexpected." Gibbs laughs.

Down in the kitchen twenty minutes later, Gibbs dressed in an olive polo shirt and Eddie Bauer Classic stonewash jeans walks in and is surprised to find Noemi over at the coffee pot. "You're in early?" He says with surprise.

"Woke up early and couldn't fall back asleep." Noemi softly answers and smiles over at Gibbs. "By the sounds of it when I came in for work this morning you and Senora Jenny made up." She winks at him.

"We just had a meeting of the minds is all." Gibbs shrugs and takes a seat at the kitchen table.

"I only made a small pot of coffee, because I know you like to stop at Starbucks on the way to work."

"I have to have my Starbucks fix before I go to work." "Dealing with DiNozzo first thing in the morning." Gibbs grumbles.

Ten minutes later Jenny walks in with her hair pulled back in a ponytail dressed in all black pants suit. "You always did look good in black." Noemi smiles at her.

"I like her in blue myself, shows off her red hair and green eyes." Gibbs smiles.

"Rare color you'll find me in is yellow." Jenny grimaces and takes a seat at the kitchen table.

"So how are you making out with the kitchen table?" Noemi asks and hands Jenny her cup of coffee.

"Sanded the table top last night." "Tonight I'm going to paint the spare bedroom before the floor people come in tomorrow."

"Floor people?" Jenny asks narrowing her eyes over at her lover.

"You'll see the room when it's finished." Gibbs smirks.

At headquarters an hour later, Tony, Ziva, and McGee are sitting at their desks talking amongst themselves, when Gibbs and Jenny step out of the elevator together. "Jethro!" Jenny giggles.

"It's true!" Gibbs smirks and leads Jenny past his section.

Ziva grins over at her partner and waits for Gibbs and Jenny get out of ear shot. "Pay up DiNozzo!"

"Did you see the hickey on Jenny's neck?" Tony says with surprise.

"I'll e-mail Palmer and Abby on the bad news about the pool." McGee grumbles.

Over at the stairs. "Let me know when Carver's lawyer shows up." Jenny nods up at him.

"Sticking your nose in my case again Director." Gibbs playfully growls at her.

"No Agent Gibbs, I want to have a front row seat when you question that bitch in Interrogation." Jenny playfully chastises him and turns and walks up the stairs. As she walks the length of the catwalk she playfully glares down at her children. "If Team Gibbs wants to work every weekend until Thanksgiving you better learn to stop gossiping about my off the job relationship with their boss." Jenny chastises them and walks up the stairs.

"Busted!" Tony grimaces.

"How does she do it?" McGee sighs.

Gibbs walking into his section. "Women's intuition McGee." Gibbs barks.

"Which McDofus has no clue on because he's clueless about women?" Tony snickers.

"And like you do Tony." "At least I've been seeing the same girlfriend or the past three weeks and how many have you been through?" McGee smirks over at him.

"Three!" Ziva tattles.

"Nobody asked you Probalina." Tony snaps at her.

"Like I'm interested in hearing about my team's sex lives." Gibbs grumbles and approaches his desk and sits down.

"What time does Carver's attorney get her?" Tony sheepishly asks.

"0900 hours!" Gibbs answers.

Interrogation Room

0915 Hours

Betty Carver and her attorney Sylvia Maxwell are sitting next to one another at the table. Gibbs walks in carrying a file with Ziva following behind him. "Good morning Miss. Maxwell!" Gibbs nods over at her.

"Ms. Maxwell, Agent Gibbs." Sylvia corrects him.

Gibbs takes a seat across from them at the table; Ziva takes her familiar place in the corner of the room to size up Carver and her lawyer. "I've been instructed by my boss that JAG will be seeking the death penalty on the murder of Navy Lieutenant John Solberg." "There will be no deals." Gibbs angrily informs them.

"Your boss!" Sylvia laughs and shakes her head. "I heard that the bitch of the beltway was reinstated." Sylvia laughs.

"Ice Queen!" Jenny's voice sarcastically corrects her through the intercom.

"You could have warned me that she was listening in." Sylvia snaps.

"And miss out on making a fool out of yourself." Ziva laughs.

Inside Observation, "She walked right into that." McGee laughs.

"Maxwell is lucky that this investigation wasn't under my watch as Director or I would be in there interrogating her client." Jenny angrily snaps.

Borin standing beside Jenny. "I've heard about your interrogation techniques." Borin laughs.

"It's a work of art watching the Director and Gibbs interrogating a suspect." Tony grins.

Back inside of Interrogation, Gibbs gets up from his seat and nods over at McGee behind the glass. "Your client was seen in this video walking with Lieutenant Solberg inside of a conference room at Coast Guard Headquarters on October 1st." "Five minutes later on the video footage she is seen walking out of the room alone." "Solberg's body is found an hour later." "When we searched Solberg's apartment there were several threatening voice messages left on Solberg's answering machine by Ensign Carver."

McGee begins to play them. Sylvia cringes at her clients outbursts. "Besides the voice messages on Solberg's answering machine, there were several threatening e-mails sent to Solberg by your client." Ziva informs them and walks over to the table and opens up the folder. "Talk about possessive." Ziva chastises Carver and hands Sylvia the pages of the e-mails that Carver sent to Solberg. "Later on after obtaining a search warrant we searched Carver's apartment, inside the apartment we found a hidden room inside of her walk in closet."

"The hidden room was made up into an S&M playroom." Gibbs nods over at them and takes the photos of the room out of the folder and neatly displays them on top of the table for Carver and Sylvia to see.

"In this room there were several homemade DVD's of Carver and Solberg of having sexual relations throughout Carver's apartment." Ziva says in disgust. On cue McGee begins to play some of the video footage.

Inside Observation, "Do I have to see this again?" Borin mumbles in annoyance.

"Why not as flexible as Carver?" Tony smirks over at her.

"I could get into some of those positions before I broke my pelvis in 2002." Jenny mischievous grins.

Tony, McGee, and Borin raise a curious eyebrow over at her. "Oh really Director." Tony laughs over at her.

"Why jealous because you can't get into them?" McGee baits him.

"Shut up!" Tony grumbles.

The video feed comes to an end. "Thank god!" Borin sighs with relief.

Jenny noting the reverse cowgirl position that Carver was in. "So that's where he got the idea to get me back into that position." Jenny inwardly says to herself.

Back inside of Interrogation. "You used your homemade smut DVD's to blackmail Solberg with since he had ended the relationship about two weeks before you killed him." "It was either resume your relationship or you were going to put the videos of you and Solberg having sex together on line for the whole world to see." Ziva angrily says to Carver.

"He wouldn't give in and you put a bullet into his chest, using Heather Fitzpatrick's Berretta." Gibbs says to her and shows Carver and Sylvia a photo of Heather Fitzpatrick's gun.

"Heather Fitzpatrick?" Sylvia asks.

With that Borin walks into the room. "Coast Guard Investigative Special Agent Borin will take it from here." Ziva winks and walks out of the room.

"Yes, Heather Fitzpatrick, your client had met through her brother and Carver's boss Coast Guard Commander Lyle Fitzpatrick, they developed a sexual relationship about six months ago." "When Fitzpatrick found out that his sister was involved in a sadomasochism relationship with Carver he sent his sister to live with their cousin Monica Tate in Boston."

"Pissed off at Commander Fitzpatrick, Carver got inside of his condo by using Heather Fitzpatrick's key, she approached Fitzpatrick while he was inside his hot tub out on the balcony and shot him in the front of the head." Gibbs finishes.

"Maybe his sister killed her brother for ending her relationship with my client." Sylvia answers.

"Heather Fitzpatrick was sent out to Boston the week before that." Gibbs smoothly says.

"Then how did I get a hold of Heather's gun." Carver asks with a smug expression on her face.

"According to Marnie Benson, Commander Fitzpatrick's fiancée, Heather had a permit to carry a concealed weapon in her purse; she worked at a club in Arlington and won't get home until four in the morning." Gibbs angrily informs Carver. "You took Heather's Berretta and planned on using it as leverage on Lieutenant Solberg, when he wouldn't give into your demands, you shot and killed him."

"After shooting Commander Fitzpatrick early the next morning, you took a train up to Boston and went over to Monica Tate's house and murdered her and Heather Fitzpatrick as they were sitting down to lunch." "They never had a chance." Gibbs frowns at walking into the scene of Monica Tate's kitchen and finding the victims slumped over on the table with their faces inside of their soup bowls.

"Where's the proof that my client took a train up to Boston?" Sylvia sarcastically asks.

Inside Observation Jenny's Blackberry begins to ring, she glances down at the caller ID and notices that it's an incoming phone call from Abby. "What do you have for me Abs?" Jenny asks and discretely walks away from Tony, Ziva, and McGee.

"Director working on a case already?" Tony shrugs over at McGee.

"Oh yeah somebody that we're all familiar with." McGee smoothly answers.

"Who?"

Before McGee can answer, he hears Gibbs' voice barking at him from the other side of the glass to run the video from Union Station. Jenny near the doorway is listening in to Abby. "I'm on my way down." She answers and hangs up. "McGee when you're done with Carver's Interrogation, I'll need you to help out Abby down in forensics?" Jenny orders him.

"Yes ma'am!" He nods.

Tony waits for Jenny to leave the room before asking McGee, with the sound of the door closing. "Out with it?"

"Bernardo Suárez!"

"Columbian weapons and drug dealer." Ziva answers noting that the name sounds familiar.

"What about him?" Tony asks.

"The Director is going after him."

"And she didn't ask me to be in on it?" Tony pouts.

"She didn't ask Gibbs either." McGee grins.

"When did you and Abby get in on this?" Tony asks.

"Yesterday!"

"That explains the answer why she didn't ask Gibbs." Tony laughs.

"They weren't talking to one another yesterday." Tony grins.

"And today they are." Ziva snickers at Tony. "Remember I won my bet."

"Oh yeah, they must have had a meeting of the minds later on at home." Tony smirks.

Suddenly their attention is drawn on to Carver inside of the interrogation room as she gets up from her chair and shoves the table over. "I'm not talking!" She screams at Gibbs and Borin.

"As far as I'm concerned you don't need to answer my questions, I have enough evidence to convict you from the video evidence, having Fitzpatrick's weapon and condo key's on you when we arrested you in Boise." Gibbs snarls at her and then glances over at Sylvia. "Boston PD wants to question your client next; they'll be here around 1330 hours so I would advise your client to compose herself, because they want a piece of her also." Gibbs answers with a cocky grin on his face. "That file is for you Ms. Maxwell." Gibbs snaps and walks out of the room with Borin following him from behind, they walk over to the Observation Room.

"With the evidence against her, why is she denying everything?" Tony groans.

"Because she's a compulsive liar on top of being a nymphomaniac murderer." Gibbs growls and notices that Jenny isn't in the room. "Did the Director leave?"

"Down to Abby's." McGee quickly answers and gets up from the chair. "And now that this is wrapped up I better head down to Abby's Lab."

"I don't have anything going on down there at this time." Gibbs shrugs with confusion.

"No but Director Shepard does." McGee answers and walks out of the room.

"Boss no fair, Jenny has McGee and Abby working with her on the Bernardo Suárez investigation." Tony whines.

Gibbs gives Tony a glare of warning for referring to Jenny by her first name. "Who is McGee and Abby working with on the Bernardo Suárez investigation?"

"I mean Director Shepard." Tony gulps.

"That's what I thought." Gibbs answers and walks out of the room.

"Slip of the tongue." Tony grumbles.

"So you've said before." Ziva sighs.

"So Agent DiNozzo has a bad habit of referring towards the Agency Director by her first name?" Borin asks.

"We were working on an op together when Gibbs had retired and went to Mexico." "When I was up in her office and not around the other agents she had asked me to call her Jenny."

"I call her Jenny up in her office and when we're off the job." "But on the job while we're working officially, it's Director Shepard." Ziva chastises her partner.

"And mommy!" Borin laughs.

"Out of earshot." Tony snickers.

Down in Abby's Lab, Abby is showing Jenny the files on Bernardo Suárez on the main plasma screen. "According to this file that I recovered off of former Director Vance's Office computer, this is a schedule of future shipments to the US that will be coming from Columbia."

"Where?" Jenny asks.

"Miami!" Abby answers.

"That explains the Miami area code number I got when I hacked into the Satellite phone company that Suárez uses." "On the call log there were several phone calls between Suárez and from another party that originated in Miami." McGee nods over at Jenny.

"I want you working down in the lab until further notice." Jenny instructs him.

"Let me get what I was working on from my desk." McGee answers.

"So do you think this is a possible location where Suárez runs his operations in the US?" Abby curiously asks.

"Looks that way." Jenny answers and starts off for the elevator.

"I'll be back." McGee smiles over at Abby and rushes off for the elevator.

Upstairs, Gibbs is looking at a file on top of McGee's desk. McGee returning from Abby's Lab. "Boss is there something I can help you with." McGee asks.

"Yeah DiNozzo and I would like to be read into this." Gibbs barks.

McGee takes a seat at his desk. "I'm surprised that the Director hasn't spoken to you about it since the two of you have made up."

"Who says I've made up with her?" Gibbs playfully snaps, the bell to the elevator goes off, Gibbs glances over on the second level and watches as Jenny steps out of the elevator with one of the Cyber Division agents. Getting an idea, he leans over McGee from behind. "Can you give me a clue as to what you're working on?"

"Monitoring Suárez' phone calls."

Up on the balcony Jenny finishes up her conversation with Agent DeLong. "Good job!" She smiles at him and starts up the length of the balcony as Jenny reaches the stairs she notices that her lover is clearly sticking out his butt for her to catch a glimpse of it. "And you call me a tease." Jenny sighs.

Meanwhile Tony, Ziva, and Borin are returning from the Observation Room as they round the corner, Tony and Ziva spot their dysfunctional parents with their work foreplay. "That didn't take them long." Tony laughs.

"What?" Borin asks.

"Boss man decided to wear jeans in work today for a reason." Tony grins.

Borin spots Gibbs over at McGee's desk as he leans over McGee's shoulder from behind, with a mischievous smirk on his face. "Why the mischievous smirk on his face?" Borin curiously asks.

"Observe the Director up on the balcony." Tony laughs.

Borin bursts out laughing at Jenny noting that her full attention is on Gibbs' butt. "So he's doing that on purpose." Borin snickers.

"Getting even with her for wearing a short skirt in work yesterday." Tony smirks.

Jenny noting that Tony, Ziva, and Borin are returning to the bullpen, she walks away from the balcony and approaches the eye scanner and scans herself into MTAC, with the door unlock, Jenny opens the door and steps inside. As she makes her way down the ramp she texts Gibbs. "There's a penalty for teasing Madame Director also Agent Gibbs." She wickedly says to herself.

Downstairs Tony, Ziva, and Borin innocently stand in the middle of the aisle way. "I thought you were down at Abby's?" Tony nods over to McGee.

McGee grabbing a folder and a few flash drives gets up from his desk. "I'm on my way back down." McGee answers and walks away.

Gibbs is about to walk back over to his desk when his cell phone begins to ring for an incoming text message. He flips open his phone, squinting at the display panel he notices that it's an incoming text message from Jenny. Taking out his glasses from his jacket pocket Gibbs puts them on and reads Jenny's message. 'Tease!' He mouths and doubles over in laughter.

"Something funny boss." Tony asks.

"That's need to know." Gibbs laughs and sits down at his desk, pushing in the speed dial button for Jenny's Black Berry. "That's calling the kettle back." Gibbs snorts.

Up in MTAC, sitting up in middle row. "I'm not as obvious as you are, Tony, Ziva, and Borin caught your little tease act coming back from Interrogation." Jenny hisses.

"You going to do something about it." Gibbs grins.

"Yeah, 'The Shepard' during lunch time, it's in the upper 60's today."

"So soon!" Gibbs gulps.

"Oh yeah!" Jenny purrs and hangs up. Danielle and the other technicians raise a curious eyebrow at her. "What's the status of Agent Tasker?"

"He's in Syria with his team at an undisclosed location." Danielle answers.

"It's going to be a late op tonight with his team."

"We haven't had a late op in over a year; Director Vance wanted to be home with his family after the attempt on his life." Danielle answers.

"Well I do not have kids to go home to at night, so the late ops will be back Danielle." Jenny warns her.

"What about Agent Gibbs?" She shrugs.

"He has odd jobs that will keep him occupied in his basement, so I'm not worried about working late hours every now and then, it won't be all the time like before." Jenny reassures her.

Squad Room

1157 Hours

"So what are we doing for lunch today?" Tony nods over at Ziva.

"I've had a craving for a Gyro for over a week." Ziva drools.

"Gyro place it is."

"Wonder if McGee wants anything?" Ziva asks.

"Abby brought in lunch for them; they'll be eating down in her lab."

Borin working at a desk next to Gibbs' desk. "I'd like to go if you don't mind."

"Ever been to Stavros'?" Tony curiously asks.

"I haven't been there in almost a year, but I've been craving for his homemade ice cream." Borin sighs.

Jenny with her coat on approaches the entranceway to Gibbs' section. "You ready!" She calls out to Gibbs.

Gibbs slowly gets up from his desk and walks over to her. "Going out to lunch with the Director?" Tony grins.

"What's it look like DiNozzo." Gibbs grumbles and slowly walks off for the elevator.

Jenny walks up behind him. "Stalling isn't helping you." She sensuously warns him.

Tony and Ziva watch their parents walk over to the elevator. "Looks like Gibbs is going to get in a lunch time quickie." Tony snickers.

"How, Noemi is now working at Gibbs' house during the daytime?" Ziva reminds him.

"There's always the backseat." Tony smirks.

"By the looks of things it looks like it's the other way around on who wants the quickie." Borin laughs.

Jack Creek's Marina

'The Shepard'

Seven Minutes Later

Gibbs and Jenny are tripping down the stairs kissing one another, in between kisses they undress one another as they make their way over towards the V-berth sleeping cabin at the bow. Once inside Jenny shoves her naked lover back on to the mattress. "There is a price to pay when you tease Madame Director with your ass." Jenny purrs and climbs on top of him.

Feeling her hands on his throbbing shaft. "Oh god!" Gibbs moans out.

"You're lucky that we're on a time restraint or I would be torturing you orally."

"That's a relief." Gibbs gulps.

Jenny sitting on top of him. "The helpless expression in your blue eyes isn't working." Jenny laughs and grabs a hold of his hands. Gibbs enters her with a deep driving thrust as he slips deeper inside of her, Jenny clutches on to his hands, slowly she begins to make love to him on top.

Stavros' Greek Restaurant

Tony, Ziva, and Borin are sitting at a corner table eating lunch. "I wonder where Gibbs took Jenny for their quickie." Tony says between bites of his steak gyro.

"Really Tony is it any of our business." Ziva sighs.

"I'm off the job now and can gossip about them behind their backs." Tony protests.

"You need to get a girlfriend so that you don't have to gossip about your boss' sex lives all the time." Ziva chastises him.

"Hey how often do you see a middle aged woman and a senior citizen coming in to work with matching hickeys on their necks?"

"I saw the Director's hickey but not Gibbs'." Borin shrugs.

"Near his Adam's Apple." Tony grins.

"Tony quit while you are a head, you're just jealous of Gibbs, besides you could never handle an aggressive woman in bed." Ziva laughs.

"That's because I like to pace myself for roughly an hour."

"You!" Ziva laughs.

"You don't even have the stamina to walk up and down a flight of stairs and you actually expect us to believe that you can go for an hour with a woman." Borin laughs.

"Hey how did this become a pick on Tony segway?" Tony whines.

"Because as usual you stuck your foot into your mouth." Ziva giggles.

Back on 'The Shepard' Gibbs is howling with pleasure. "Don't stop!" He cries out.

"That's more like it the lost little boy expression in your eyes Leroy." Jenny teases him and aggressively begins to make love to him.

"Damn it!" He moans out, lifting his hips up from the mattress.

Jenny nearing the height of her passion, rocks inside of her lover over and over again. "Yes!" She screams out with pleasure. Gibbs raises his hips up to meet her urgent thrusts, moving against her in wild hot abandonment. Nearing release their bodies' frantically move together in unison. "Come on!" She moans out.

"I'm not giving into Madame Director." Gibbs growls out.

"She's not giving into Agent Gibbs." Jenny hisses, pressing her body down to meet his upward thrust.

Gibbs feeling his release coming on, he squirms under her on the mattress. "Don't give in." Gibbs inwardly whines. Jenny sensing that her lover is caving in, presses her hip against him, she leans over and runs her tongue on his lower lip. "That's cheating!" He moans out, his body thrashes beneath her, trying to fight off his release.

"Call it what you want, but I'm winning the battle." Jenny wickedly answers. Gibbs exhausted and battle weary climaxes inside of her, his body shudders underneath of her riding the wild waves of ecstasy, as his release shatters through him, Jenny exhausted as well slumps down on top of his chest.

"I need oxygen!" Gibbs pants.

Jenny raising her chin on top of his chest. "Why don't you sleep it off for about a half an hour?"

"I need more than a half an hour." Gibbs barks…Jenny nipping along his collar bone. "Can I come down from my release first?"

"Go to sleep." Jenny laughs and tenderly kisses him on the mouth.

Stavros'

Forty minutes later, Tony and Ziva are about to leave the restaurant. Ziva glances towards the direction of the counter and notices that Borin is purchasing something. "Borin still hungry?"

Borin over at the counter. "Can I have a container of peaches and cream ice cream?"

Tony over hearing Borin's order. "She's buying ice cream." Tony smirks.

"Why the smirk on your face?" Ziva asks.

"You'll find out at headquarters." Tony laughs.

Back on 'The Shepard' Jenny after getting a shower, approaches her sleeping lover. "Jethro it's 1250 hours."

Gibbs half asleep gets out of bed. "No fun you got your shower already." He groans in protest.

"We wouldn't of have had the time anyway." Jenny sighs…."I ordered take-out from a deli near the marina we'll stop there on the way back to the Navy Yard."

NCIS Headquarters

1305 Hours

Borin is standing in front of Tony's desk eating her container of ice cream, Tony hearing the bell to the elevator going off glances over at the elevator and notices Gibbs and Jenny getting out, he waits for them to near the entranceway to Gibbs' section. "By the way Borin, what ice cream did you pick out?" Tony mischievous shouts loud enough for Gibbs and Jenny to hear him.

"Peaches and cream!" She smirks over at him.

Jenny stops at the entranceway to Gibbs' section glaring up at her lover. "What?" Gibbs innocently shrugs.

"With me now!" She angrily hisses at him and stalks up for the stairs.

Tony, Ziva, and Borin watch as Gibbs chases Jenny up the stairs over the catwalk and up the flight of stairs. "I swear I didn't say anything to them." He shouts.

"Bull shit!" She shouts back and storms off for her office with Gibbs following behind her.

Tony, Ziva, and Borin burst out laughing. "Them being nice to one another only lasted for six hours." Tony chuckles.

Up in Jenny's Office, "How the hell does DiNozzo know about what happened on my kitchen table in Paris?" Jenny screams at him.

"I didn't say anything to him." Gibbs barks.

"Then explain what happened down in the bullpen and Borin seems to be in on it as well."

Gibbs drops the brown paper bag down on top of the conference table and flashes back to his phone call conversation with Jenny in the conference room at police headquarters in Boston and remembers that McGee and Borin had walked into the room while he was on the phone with her. "Damn it!" Gibbs snarls.

"What?"

"Borin and McGee walked into our phone conversation in Boston." Gibbs sighs.

"Great!" Jenny mutters and walks over to her desk, pressing in the button for the intercom. "Cynthia could you tell Agent's DiNozzo, McGee, David, and Abby Scuito that Agent Gibbs and I want to have a meeting in the back room of Abby's Lab in a half an hour."

"Yes ma'am!" Cynthia answers.

"I'll let Tony and Ziva sweat it out for about a half an hour." Jenny smirks and walks over to the conference table and sits down.

"What about Borin?"

"She doesn't work for me, so there isn't too much I can do about her." Jenny shrugs.

Down in the bullpen, Tony's desk phone begins to ring. "DiNozzo!" He answers.

"Agent DiNozzo the Director wants a meeting with you and Agent David down in Abby's Lab in a half an hour." Cynthia informs him.

"Man can't she take a joke." Tony protests.

"From what I could hear in her office, when it comes to her sex life I don't think so." Cynthia grumbles.

"Where did it happen?" Tony smirks.

"Classified!" Cynthia answers and hangs up.

"Rats!" Tony sighs and hangs up. "Mommy wants us down in Abby's Lab in a half an hour."

"Thanks a lot Tony, now I'm going to get screamed at for something I had nothing to do with." Ziva hisses.

"And Agent Borin will be off the hook since she works for CGIS." Tony sighs…. Tony's desk phone begins to ring again. "DiNozzo!" He answers.

Abby's Lab

"What did you do to piss her off?" McGee chastises him on the speakerphone from Abby's workstation.

"I had asked Agent Borin what ice cream she was eating after lunch in the bullpen." Tony innocently answers.

"What flavor was Borin eating?" Abby curiously asks.

"Peaches and cream." Tony gulps.

"And conveniently Gibbs and Jenny were walking past your desk when you had asked her, great Tony." McGee snaps.

"Why am I being punished for this when I have nothing to do with it?" Abby pouts.

"When one of the kids gets into trouble we all do Abby." McGee sighs.

Half an hour later the kids are in the backroom waiting for 'The Parents'. "Figures they would drag it out until the last minute." Tony groans.

With that the sound of the bell for the elevator goes off. "You were saying Tony." Ziva sighs.

Gibbs and Jenny enter the room. "Oh boy mommy doesn't look happy." Abby cringes and glares over at Tony for baiting them. "And it's all your fault Tony." Abby chastises him.

Gibbs and Jenny enter the backroom over hearing Abby's tirade. "No try its McGee's fault for blabbing to his brother and sisters on what he overheard on one of my phone call conversations with Jenny." Gibbs growls.

"In my defense I didn't know that Jenny was going to be reinstated as Director." McGee innocently answers.

"Even if I wasn't reinstated as Director, it's none of your damn business Tim and you shouldn't have told the others." Jenny angrily scolds him.

"Furthermore DiNozzo you should have kept your mouth shut." "You deliberated baited Jenny into getting into a shouting match up in her office with me when we came back from lunch." Gibbs snarls.

"Last and only warning that I will give the four of you, while you are on the job my off the job relationship with Gibbs is not to be gossiped, betted on, or speculated on in anyway." "If it gets back to me or Gibbs that the four of you are talking about our off the job relationship while you are working, the penalty will be that you will not get a weekend off for the next year and you will have to work all holidays."

"Tony, Ziva, and McGee will fill in as Team Leaders for the various teams that are assigned to work that weekend." Gibbs angrily informs them.

"While Abby will either do assignments in her lab or help out with the Evidence Technician's down in the Evidence Room." Jenny answers and gives her dysfunctional daughter a glare of warning.

"What about Borin?" Tony shrugs.

"Borin had nothing to do with this Tony." "I called you up in Boston and made the huge mistake in telling you about Gibbs' phone conversation." McGee snaps.

"And you knew that Borin purchased peaches and cream ice cream at Stavros', you saw Gibbs and the Director get out of the elevator and decided to get a reaction out of her." Ziva sighs in annoyance.

"It got a reaction out of her alright." Gibbs grumbles….Suddenly his cell phone begins to ring. "Yeah Gibbs!"

Observation Room

Borin is standing around watching Boston PD Detective Young and his partner Elliot Lewis through the window interrogating Ensign Betty Carver. "Detective Young and his partner are questioning Carver."

"I'll be right up." Gibbs answers and hangs up. "Boston PD is questioning Carver." Gibbs nods and walks out of the room.

"Agents DiNozzo and McGee head on over to the gym locker room, get into your sweats and I want the two of you to run around the building ten times." Jenny orders them.

"Ten times I just ate." Tony whines.

"Move!" Jenny shouts at them.

Tony and McGee quickly run out of the room. "Nobody ran like that for Director Vance." Abby giggles.

"That's because he didn't scare anybody Abby." Ziva laughs.

"Oh I got something for you Director." Abby smiles at her.

"About Suárez?" Jenny asks.

"Actually we got it, but because McGee is being punished I'll have to show you." Abby sweetly answers and walks Jenny and Ziva over to her workstation.

"According to a text message that he sent to a Ricardo Emanuel, Suárez is flying out to Miami, Monday morning."

"Perfect now is my chance to arrest his ass on US soil." Jenny smirks.

"We just need to know on whether is flying by private plane or commercial airline." Ziva interjects.

"McGee was working on that before the Director punished him." Abby shrugs.

"Serves him right for blabbing something to you guys that he had no business repeating." Jenny snaps and walks off for the elevator.

Ziva and Abby turn and watch Jenny as she patiently waits over at the elevator. "I believe the three years being out of her heels has made Jenny a bit more how you say." Ziva stumbles trying to come up with the right word.

"Bitchy!" Abby answers.

"That's the word." Ziva smiles.

"She had what she worked hard for taken away from her by Davenport and Vance." Abby frowns.

"I don't think it's Davenport or Vance that has Jenny like this." "I think it was being under her father's control for three years."

"And now she's free to be herself." Abby smiles.

"I better join Gibbs and Borin in Observation." Ziva nods and walks out of the room.

"Just don't let Madame Director get to your head." Abby sighs at the memory of how her ambition got to her head when she was going after La Grenouille.

In the Observation Room Gibbs and Borin are watching Boston PD as Carver continues to stonewall them. "I see that they're not having any luck breaking her." Borin groans.

Ziva walks in. "How's Detective Young making out?"

"Not getting very far." Gibbs smoothly answers and notices that Ziva is alone. "Where's DiNozzo?"

"More than likely puking his guts out on lap number five around the building." "After you left Abby's the Director ordered both Tony and McGee to do ten laps around the building." Ziva smirks.

"You mean Tony will puke on lap number three." Gibbs laughs.

"DiNozzo physical conditional wise is a pathetic excuse for a federal investigator." Borin sighs.

"At least McGee has improved." Ziva smiles.

"He needs to bulk up a little bit, to skinny." Gibbs growls.

"You're in excellent shape." Borin grins over at him.

"I played football, basketball, and baseball while I was in high school, my junior year I blew out my knee playing football."

"What position?" Borin curiously asks.

"Quarterback!" Gibbs smoothly answers. "Did the Director go back up to her office?"

"She went upstairs, not sure if she went into her office or MTAC." Ziva shrugs.

"Since they're not getting any where I'm going for coffee." Gibbs nods and walks out of the room.

"You mean you're going for coffee so that the Director can steal it from you." Ziva laughs.

"I thought that nobody was allowed anywhere near Gibbs' coffee cup."

"Nobody but Jenny Shepard." Ziva smiles.

Squad Room

Twenty Minutes Later

Gibbs returns from his coffee run and finds Tony lounging back against his chair. "Problem DiNozzo?" Gibbs smirks and walks over to the front of Tony's desk.

"Yeah I lost my lunch while doing laps." Tony groans.

"That will teach you for opening your mouth up when you shouldn't." Gibbs growls.

Borin and Ziva return from Observation. "Poor Tony!" Ziva teases him.

"I need a massage." Tony asks with pleading eyes.

"Call you girlfriend of the week." Ziva snickers and walks over to her desk and sits down.

"McGee back down in Abby's." Gibbs smoothly asks.

"Yeah and can somebody clue us in on the Suárez Investigation besides McGee and Abby." Tony whines in protest.

"I was helping out with Abby and the Director after she sent you and McGee out." Ziva answers.

Gibbs glances up towards the balcony and finds Jenny working in her familiar spot in front of MTAC. "You're not the only one who hasn't been briefed on it DiNozzo." Gibbs answers and starts off for the stairs.

"So what's going on?" Tony demands.

"She's going after Bernardo Suárez." "According to Abby, Cassie Yates and her team are in Columbia as we speak tailing Suárez' movements." Ziva informs him.

"Why her team and not ours?" Tony angrily asks.

"Tony I believe the Major Case Response Team has recently had a month long investigation and we've also had the joint investigation with Special Agent Borin involving the Solberg Investigation." Ziva reminds him.

"We can handle it."

"DiNozzo I believe the Director knows what she's doing." Borin nods over at him.

Up on the balcony Gibbs approaches his lover. "You going to brief me on the Suárez Investigation?" Gibbs asks.

"I was just about to ask Cynthia to have you meet me inside of MTAC when I briefed Cassie Yates."

"So what is Cassie up against?" Gibbs shrugs and takes a sip from his cup of coffee.

"Cassie and her team are watching Suárez' movements in Riohacha." "McGee's been monitoring his satellite phone calls and text messages." "Suárez texted Ricardo Emanuel, one of his drug runners in Miami that he was flying out to Miami on Monday morning."

"Why Miami?"

"I believe Suárez is using Miami as a base of operations in the US."

"Once he enters the US it will be easier for us to bring him." Gibbs answers.

"He's the first of many arms and drug dealers that I'm going after that Vance was on the take with."

"Jen I don't want you turning into that vindictive driven woman that had gone after La Grenouille." Gibbs growls.

Jenny taking Gibbs' coffee from him. "I'll never get like that again."

"You sure!" Gibbs frowns.

"That side of me almost cost me my life and the person I cherish the most." Jenny softly says looking into the depths of her lovers blue eyes. "You!" She smiles and walks over to the eye scanner.

Gibbs stands and smiles over at the direction that Jenny had walked into. Down in the bullpen Tony, Ziva, and Borin are watching. "There's a first, she left him speechless." Ziva snickers.

"Your right the coffee was for her." Borin laughs.

Back up on the balcony Gibbs follows Jenny inside of MTAC. "Ma'am Cassie Yates is about to appear onscreen." Danielle informs her.

"Thanks Danielle, Agent Gibbs is going to sit through this one with me." Jenny nods and approaches the front of the plasma screen.

Squad Room

1900 Hours

Gibbs steps out of the elevator carrying a canvas bag, Borin on her way out passes him. "I guess this is goodbye until the next case." Borin smiles at him.

"It's never dull working with CGIS." Gibbs laughs.

"Excitement level was better this time around." Borin laughs.

"I guess so with Madame Director back up on her throne." Gibbs growls.

"You still don't seem happy that she's back as Director."

"I would rather have her home not doing a damn thing."

"Jenny Shepard sitting around the house, I don't think so Gibbs."

"You do not know what she's been through the past three years." "Jenny is carrying a lot of emotional scars from that." Gibbs frowns.

"What scars could she possible get from being in witness protection?" Borin sighs.

"Good night Borin." Gibbs answers and starts off for the stairs.

Tony, Ziva, McGee, and Abby catch up to Borin at the elevator. "Going home?" Tony asks.

"No back to my office at headquarters, need to finish up a few reports and then hopefully I will get a new case to work on tomorrow." Borin shrugs and glances up at the balcony; she watches Gibbs going inside the outer office door. "Gibbs working late?"

"No the Director is." "Gibbs is making sure that she eats dinner before she gets started on her paperwork." Ziva smiles.

"Late night MTAC Op she's over seeing." Tony shrugs.

"Third day on the job and it seems that she's busy already." Borin answers, the elevator doors open and they step in. "Boston PD is still in interrogation." Borin laughs.

"If Gibbs, Ziva, and you couldn't break her nobody could." Tony sighs.

"I bet Jenny could." Ziva smirks.

Tony head slaps Ziva on the back of the head. "You mean Director Shepard."

Ziva steps on Tony's foot. "Never Gibbs slap me again." She warns him.

Tony holding his foot. "I think you broke my toe." Tony grimaces.

"Good!" Ziva grins.

Up in Jenny's Office Gibbs is unpacking dinner. "So what will you be burning off of me in bed this weekend?" Jenny teases him as she gets up from her desk and approaches the coffee table.

"Columbian food!" Gibbs smirks, taking out two bottles of Aquila beer.

Jenny sits down in her familiar chair and takes off her heels; she leans over and opens up one of the food containers. "Plato de Carne Asada." She says in Spanish.

"So you've had it before." Gibbs smiles.

"Jethro I've been in Columbia before." Jenny sighs and opens up the next container. "Bandeja Paisa!"

"That's for me." Gibbs grins.

"I expected as much because I can't eat all of that." Jenny grumbles and opens up the next container. "Guacamole with patacón."

"Because you eat that crap and I don't." Gibbs growls.

Jenny grabbing a Styrofoam plate from on top of the table, she serves Gibbs his dinner first. "It's healthy for you." Jenny scolds him.

Gibbs opening up their bottles of beer. "I don't care it's green and nasty looking." Gibbs barks.

"It matches your shirt." Jenny giggles.

"You keep teasing me and you'll be wearing it." Gibbs warns her and takes a sip from his bottle of beer.

Jenny fixing her plate. "This feels right." Jenny smiles.

"Two old partners eating dinner." Gibbs smiles and takes a bite from his beans and rice.

"We use to eat dinner up in my office all the time before your coma." Jenny answers.

"I still get a kick out of your facial expression when I would walk into the office carrying dinner."

"You usually would bring it in when Agent Gibbs and Director Shepard were battling it out in the office during the day."

"I would bring dinner in so I could refocus on my investigation, and talking to my old partner always helped." Gibbs smiles.

"How did you refocus after I died?" Jenny frowns.

"By staying late in the office after my team and Vance would leave for the night." "I would go up into the office and sit on the couch flashing back to a time when you and I would sit for hours on end discussing a case together." Gibbs answers with his voice choking up with emotion. "That always helped me refocus."

"My refocus while I was in Kalymnos was to get the operation done as fast as possible so that I could get away from my father." Jenny snaps.

Forty minutes later, Jenny is gathering up the trash on the coffee table. "There are some old case files that I want to review before I head into MTAC at 2200 hours." Jenny nods.

"Are you doing anything on November 12th?" Gibbs curiously asks.

"That's a week from now, I don't know what our plans are that far in advance." Jenny shrugs and puts the plates and containers into the trashcan.

Gibbs hands Jenny the invitation for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball. "Fornell won't be needing this since he's no longer Director of NCIS."

"You do not know how I longed to be on your arm at the Marine Corps Birthday Ball." Jenny smiles.

"You do not know how frustrating it was to watch you go out on Ducky's arm for the first ball you went to." "I made sure that I was out of the office the two other times you went." Gibbs frowns.

"Well this time around I will be on your arm while you're dressed in your Marine uniform; Tony will head my protection detail."

"He'll love that." Gibbs smiles.

"I'll have Cynthia accept my invitation tomorrow."

Gibbs leans over and tenderly kisses Jenny on the mouth. "You do not know how happy this makes me." Gibbs says to her above a whisper.

"I do, because I feel the same way." Jenny softly answers and gets up from the table. "Now I have something to do this weekend." Jenny laughs.

"What?"

"I need to go out and buy a dress."

"Blue!" Gibbs smiles.

"I'll see if a can find a cobalt blue dress to match the color of your eyes."

Gibbs getting up from the couch. "I better head on home and start painting the spare bedroom."

"I might spend the night on the couch in my office depending on how long the op goes."

"I'll bring a change of clothes over tomorrow." Gibbs nods and approaches Jenny; he leans down and tenderly kisses her on the mouth. "Good night!"

"Good night Jethro!"

Gibbs walks out of the office and closes the door behind him. He looks over at Cynthia's desk and notices for the first time in three years the personal items on display throughout the desk, along the bookshelf and the filing cabinet near the window. "It just dawned on me that suddenly this office isn't a cold depressing place to go into anymore." Gibbs smiles as he takes in his surroundings a final time. "Welcome back Madame Director." He grins and walks out of the room.
