AJ and Madison, were on their way to Santorini, Greece for their own getaway. Madison wanted to show AJ where her family came from. It was nearly a fifteen and half hour flight from Washington DC to Santorini with layovers in Paris and Athens for the lovebirds. Madison and AJ had joined the Mile High club during the first leg of their flight to Santorini. When AJ and Madison had landed in Paris at the Charles de Gaulle airport, AJ was able to check the messages on his phone before they grabbed a quick bite and something to drink.
"Looks like Tali tried to get a hold of me while we were in the air…" AJ said as he and Madison had made their way down one of the many airport hallways that had a variety of food options.
"Listen to the message, we can stop for a moment."
AJ played the voicemail his sister had left him as they had stepped off to the side.
Hey it's me, I know that you are in the air and all but I got a visit from Kate last night. Apparently Mom and Dad are stepping down from their roles at NCIS, something involving Rule 38, Jenny and Jethro. I don't know much more than that at this point, but I plan on calling home later to find out what's going on. I'll keep you posted, say hi to Madison for me.
"Is everything okay?" Madison asked.
"Yeah I think it is, Tali says hi."
"Okay, your face says otherwise."
AJ hadn't told Madison about the special gift his older sister shared with their Uncle and his namesake yet so he had to think of how to phrase things.
"Tali just wanted to let me know that our parents are stepping down from their roles at NCIS so that our Uncle and Aunt can take over for a bit during a case."
"Okay?" Madison questioned as the two of their continued their search for something to eat before their connecting flight to Athens started to board.
"Remember how I told you that my Uncle has these set of rules he came up with as a guideline for things, a code to live by…"
"Yeah, didn't you say that his first wife inspired him to come up with before she died?"
"That's it. So my parents stepping down for the time being so my Uncle and Aunt can settle back into their former roles as NCIS agents has to do with one of my Uncle's rules. Rule 38 to be exact." AJ said.
Madison nodded as AJ told her that Tali would let him know more when she had more to share. It wasn't long after that conversation had wrapped up that the two of them had found a place in the airport to get something to eat before they made their way to the terminal that their flight to Athens would be at.
A number of hours later, Madison and AJ were checking into their vacation rental in Santorini. Both of them were a bit tired from the long flight, but neither of them were ready to go to bed quite yet. While Madison washed up in the bathroom from the flight, AJ checked his phone for any messages.
Hey AJ, hope you and Madison got to Santorini safely. I talked to Mom earlier and she clued me in on what's going with the case. Apparently Jenny and Jethro are invoking Rule 38 with this case is due to the fact the case maybe connected to when Jenny and Jethro were under cover on this side of the Atlantic. Enjoy your time in Greece, little brother.
After AJ had set his phone down on the coffee table in front of him, Madison came back into the room.
"Is there anything that you want to do? Did you want to go out to dinner?"AJ asked.
"Not quite ready for dinner yet, but I do have another idea of what we can do…" Madison suggestively said.
"You do, do you?"
With that things heated up between the couple as clothing started to fall off.
