Chapter Three: Mr Gibbs, sir, welcome to my home.

A/N: I am running outta ideas. I know that I'm keeping the chapters short, but it gives me more time.

Disclaimer: I do not own Jack or Gibbs. I wish that I owned Jack though. Can't I just borrow him for a day, please? Runs away crying

Gibbs continued to stare at Jack, who had gone quite red and was shuffling his feet. Gibbs was confused at this behaviour. Why was Jack so ashamed of his last name?

"What's wrong with the name Sparrow, Jack?"

Jack looked up once more.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just embarrassing."

"What's so embarrassing about it? It's your name."

Jack sighed, "I know. But, how many people do you meet with the last name Sparrow?"

Gibbs kneeled down and put a hand on Jack's shoulder.

"I've met you, haven't I?"

Jack let out a small smile, then looked down once more. Gibbs stood up, drew in a deep breath and put his hands on his hips.

"Well, I guess I'd better be lookin' for a place to stay, eh?"

"Yeah, I should go home now. See you, Mr Gibbs."

"Bye."

Jack slowly walked off, kicking stones as he walked. He quite suddenly turned around, and ran back to Gibbs.

"Mr…Mr Gibbs, sir." He managed to gasp between breaths. "Seeing as you have…have no place to stay, you could come back home and stay at our house…if you want." He added.

A large smile came across Gibb's face.

"I would be very much obliged, Jack. Thankyou for the invitation."

"Okay! That's great! Come on, I'd better show you where I live."

"That would be a good idea" Gibbs said, following Jack.

Gibbs was sure that they had been walking for about 45 minutes, maybe more. He was bright red, sweaty and very tired. Where on earth did this kid live?

As if he read Gibb's mind, Jack turned around, still walking, but watching Gibbs.

"Not much further now, Mr Gibbs, almost there."

"No, its okay m'lad, I could keep walkin' for ages yet!" He lied.

A few minutes later, they reached a small village, of about three or four houses. Jack ran to the nearest one, the shabbiest looking one there.

"Mr Gibbs, sir, welcome to my home."
