Let me sing.
Gibbs waited in the car for Erica to finish getting ready for school. Erica would soon be sixteen and Gibbs knew his days of taking her to school were about to end. Finally Erica was ready and made it to the car. On the way to her school Gibbs brought up the charity benefit that NCIS would be involved in, Jen's idea of course. "I already know about it Dad." Erica said. "You do?" Gibbs asked. "Yeah Jen told me. She also told me that you guys are looking for a variety of people to perform in a concert for it." Erica replied. "Well now that you bring it up you like a wide variety of music; who do you think we should get to perform?" Gibbs asked. "Well to tell you the truth I think you should let me perform." Erica said. "That's out of the question." Gibbs said. "But Dad, think about it. Who better to sing at this thing than the daughter of one of the agents?" Erica pointed out. "No Erica." Gibbs said as she got out of the car. "Please Dad let me sing, you know how much I love performing. Just think about it." Erica said as she shut the door and went to class.
Once Gibbs arrived at work he headed straight for Jen's office. "Jen I need to talk to you." Gibbs said as he entered her office. "About what?" Jen asked without looking up from her paperwork. "Erica." Gibbs replied. "What she do this time?" Jen asked. "She hasn't done anything yet. She wants to sing at the benefit." Gibbs said. "What's wrong with that?" Jen asked. "I have a bad feeling about it." Gibbs replied. "Listen Jethro, Erica has been through a lot this year let her have some fun. And you don't have too much to worry about after all the room will be filled with federal agents including you, Tony, and Kate. Erica will be fine. Let her sing." Jen said trying to persuade Gibbs that it was a good idea. "I'll think about it." Gibbs said
Later that night at home Gibbs, Jen, and Erica were eating dinner and everyone was silent throughout the meal. Finally Gibbs broke the awkward silence. "Erica you can sing." He said. "Thank-you." Erica said and she got up to give him a hug. She already knew what song she would perform it was song that meant so much to her. It's how she felt about her crazy family in Washington D.C. little did she know it was also Tony and Kate's favorite song.
