A/N: I'm so very sorry that this chapter is so short, I've been really sick all week long and haven't been able to work on this till late last night. If I can I'll post another short chapter some time during the week, but I should have a full chapter next week.

Were in the car, on our way to the NCIS building. We haven't really talked all morning with the exception of the wake-up call at six. I hated the silence that lingered between us, the cold sound of nothing in the air around us. I longed for the fun natured, happy conversation we had had the night before.

"Tony?" I had called him Tony all last night; dad just didn't seem to fit him.

"Yeah?" he asked, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Can we listen to some music or something?" I really didn't like the silence and music would help.

"Sure," he said as he flipped the radio on to a station playing Christmas music.

The soft music didn't help the silence, as much as I'd hoped it would, but was better than nothing at all.

I look out my window, the snow just starting to fall, listening to 'I'm dreaming of a white Christmas' as we drive.

I always seemed to be looking out windows, just watching the scenery go by. I knew I shouldn't have gone to bed last night; everything would have been fine if we had just kept talking all night long.

"Where here," I here him tell me and it pulls me out of my thoughts and back into the real world and I nod in acknowledgement of his words as I get out of the car.

"Is NCIS ready to fight a war with there canons?" I ask as we walk by the large canons in front of the building.

"To be honest, I have no idea what the canons are for." he says as we walk through the doors leading into the main lobby of the building.

"Tony," I here a voice from behind us call out as we walked farther into the lobby "She'll need a pass."

I turn to see a security guard walk up to us and hand me a pass clearly marked 'visitor'.

"Thank you," I say as I clip the pass to my sweater.

"And Tony, Abby has been looking for you." the guard said just as we walked onto the elevator.

"Abby," I try to remember what he had told me she did, "The girl in the lab that does fingerprints and runs blood tests, right?"

"Yep." he answered simply as he pressed the button to the second floor.
