First Meetings and a New Case
It was Tuesday morning and it was also the day Gibbs was scheduled to return to work, and he was bringing Erica with him. The whole team was waiting for them to arrive. Ducky even let Jimmy Palmer come up from Autopsy to meet Erica. Gibbs had told Erica a little about each of his teammates. It wasn't long before Gibbs and Erica arrived at NCIS. When they came in everyone got really quiet. "Erica, I'd like you to meet my team. Everyone this is my daughter Erica." Gibbs introduced them. Erica had an idea of who was who before each of them introduced themselves. Tony and Kate were just as Gibbs described them. Abby was well Abby and Erica thought that she could really get along with Abby. She confused McGee with Palmer, mainly because they both seemed insecure. And then Ducky was just as Gibbs had described him to her. There was only one person left to meet and that was her father's boss and girlfriend, Jenny Shepard. "Come on Erica there is one more person I want you to meet." Gibbs said and Erica followed him to Jen's office.
Jen was sitting at her desk looking over some paperwork when Gibbs entered her office. She got up and gave him a hug. "Jethro, it's so good to have you back. Is she here?" Jen asked as she greeted him. "Yes and she knows." Gibbs replied. "Well what are you waiting for bring her in." Jen replied. "Erica come on in." Gibbs called for his daughter. Erica shyly entered the office and Jen introduced herself. "It's great to finally meet you Erica and I can't tell you how happy, not just your father, but we all are to have you here in Washington with us." Jen said with a smile. "Thanks, it's nice to finally meet you." Erica replied. "If you need anything Jen is here for you too." Gibbs assured Erica. "We all are." Said Kate as she, Tony, and McGee entered Jen's office. "Hey boss, can we talk to you for a minute?" Tony asked. "Sure Dinozzo." Gibbs replied. "They're has been a homicide, it's the fourth one like this. Kate and I think we're dealing with a serial killer." Tony told Gibbs. "Okay, you three get your gear, McGee get the sedan, and Kate call Ducky. I'll meet you outside." Gibbs ordered. "On it boss." Tony replied as the three left. Gibbs then looked at Jen who gave him a reassuring nod. "Erica, I need you to stay here with Jen, I'll be back soon." Gibbs said and turned to leave. "Be careful." Erica replied. Gibbs turned and said "I will."
