Thank you to my beta-reader Rinne for checking my work and catching the things I miss and thanks for all the people that are reviewing. Keep at it cos it really does help me to keep writing.

"Jethro."

"Yeah?"

"What just happened?" The pair sat motionless in the pitch black room.

"Well, the lights just turned off, Jenn."

"Really? You think?" she replied sarcastically.

"No need to get snippy with me, Jenn." Jenny felt Gibbs stand up beside her.

"Where are you going?" she asked, standing up to join him.

"To get out of here, hopefully the rest of NCIS is still fully lit," he answered, as if it were the most
obvious thing in the world.

"I'd like to see you try and find the door."

"Come on." Gibbs felt for Jenny's hand to lead her towards the door. He was rewarded with a slap to the arm. "What was that for?"

"That was not my hand, Jethro."

Gibbs smiled, glad that Jenny couldn't see how much he was enjoying this. Eventually Gibbs found her hand and pulled her along the walkway, feeling with his free hand where the wall was. Eventually the pair made it to the door. Gibbs could feel the edges of where the hinges sat. He took hold of the door handle and pulled. Nothing happened. He tried again, with no luck.

"The door's stuck."

"Okay, what now?" Jenny asked, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Can you give me a minute to think?" Gibbs asked, slightly irritated.

"Well seeing as I can't see my watch, you have all the time in the world"

"You're not helping!" Gibbs retorted. He fished out his knife from his trouser pocket and began trying to loosen the screws in the hinges. "Ow!" He yelped when the knife slipped and cut into his hand.

"What? What have you done?" Jenny asked, genuinely concerned. Yes, they had their less stellar moments when they wouldn't agree or Gibbs forgot she was his boss for a second, but she still did care for him, even after all the time that had passed since they last saw each other.

"It's just a cut."

"Let me see."

Gibbs snorted. "And how are you going to do that, Jenn? With your night vision goggles you keep with you at all times?"

"Just give me your hand, Jethro. I could make it an order," she threatened. She heard him sigh, and a second later she felt his hand in front of her. She took hold of it and began feeling for the cut. Without thinking, she pressed hard into the scratch.

"Hey!"

"Sorry." Jenny could feel the blood pouring out of the wound. "I don't think you've done too much damage but we don't have a first aid kit in here."

"I can manage."

"Aww, such a big boy, you sure you don't want me to kiss it better?" She spoke as if talking to a young child.

"We'll save that for later," he replied.

"If you ever get us out of here."

"The door is bolted and the hinges are too stiff to loosen with my knife, so what do you suggest we do?"

Jenny shrugged. "Well?" Jenny pushed past Gibbs and began banging on the door.

"Hey! Anyone there? Hey!"

"Jenn?"

"What!"

"You do realise that door is sound proof?"

"It was worth a try don't you think?"

"The emergency lighting should have come on by now and I don't know why it hasn't. Some one will look for us when they realise we're missing. I told Ziva I was here, so it shouldn't be too long."

"You want us to just sit here and wait?" Jenny asked incredulously. She couldn't believe that Leroy Jethro Gibbs, the most impatient man on the planet had just suggested that they sit and wait.

"What do you want me to do, break down that door like the incredible hulk?"

"Incredible hulk?" Jenn queried

"DiNozzo talks too much," Gibbs answered. The pair slid down the wall and sat opposite each other on the carpeted floor.

"What do you wanna do while we wait?" Jenn asked.

"Play I-Spy?"

"This isn't funny, Jethro."

"Do you hear me laughing?"

"The minute I get out of here I'm slapping the back of your head."

"Why wait?"

"Because I can't see where your head is."

"Fair point."
