Summery: Gibbs and crew are summoned to teach at a "camp" in Orlando about US special forces. Insanity insures. On the good side; KATE ISN'T DEAD! And Gibbs finds love.
Harley yawned tiredly as she lazily leaned against the side of a brick building. She was the first one there for "Field Training". Supposedly they where going to be learning about crime scene things and basic combat but with Gibbs as her teacher she had a distinct feeling they would be learning A LOT more. Which speaking of where was everyone? She looked at her map it said field A… Looking more closely she realized field A was all the way on the other end of the building.
"Fu…..dge Monkies!" She yelled stumbling to her feet and running like fire was on her tail towards the field. As luck would have it she ran slam into Gibbs back. She wobbled and fell back. She could feel eyes staring at her.
"Harley?" She gulped.
"Yes sir?"
"Where were you?" She cringed sitting up.
"Over on the other side of the building." Silence. She tensed up. She just knew she was going get it.
"Next time you find out where the class is getting moved to do me and the rest of us a favor and tell us!"
"I'm sorry sir! The ma….what?" She looked at Gibbs oddly as she felt his shadow fall over her. He had a hand stretched out. She took it and he pulled her up. He looked at her flatly.
"Excuse me sir what did you say?" Gibbs looked at her shortly.
"I said next time you are informed of a change in location, would you kindly tell someone. Now do I need to repeat it again or did you understand me?" Harley blinked in surprise but nodded quickly. Gibbs relaxed into a smile and patted her back.
"Now come on, I have a class to run." He walked back to where she had been sitting a moment before. Deciding to go with what he said Harley (and the rest of the class) walked over that way. Gibbs turned to look them and instructed them to sit down. Harley plopped down in her just vacated spot. She rested her head against the wall as everyone moved about sitting down. Off to the side people where getting pushed over as one eccentric person headed her way. Hopping down next to Harley Chelsea looked around at all the kids before looking back at Harley.
"Why where you there earlier. In the history class? I don't remember seeing you on the roll." Harley raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
"I'm aiding Gibbs." Harley said absently.
"Oh. Really? I wanna aid for someone. Think I can aid in his class if I drop?" Harley wanted to laugh.
"Well you can; if you pick up and extra morning class. You know the ones from EIGHT to ten?" Chelsea's eyes widened in horror. Harley laughed.
"I didn't figure you would." Chelsea shook her head and shuddered. Harley smiled looking back out to Gibbs who was ready to start.
"Ok class. As you all should know this is field training. I am special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, I'm also an ex-marine so if you think you wanna tangle with me take your chance." He was met with silence.
"Now in this class we will be teaching crime scene procedures as well as combat tactics. So if you are one of these little pansies who doesn't like to get dirty I've got some advice. Leave. Now!" He waited for a second. No one budged.
"I'm not kidding and this is your last chance. We'll be outside in the heat, in the dirt, and in the trees. So if you'd think you can handle it get out." Nothing.
"Alright then let me start by saying this isn't for babies. I don't want any whining or other such baby actions. You all are almost grown adults. And…" Gibbs stopped seeing a hand stuck up in the group. It belonged to a younger looking girl with bright red curls in a ponytail that looked to high and to tight. He sighed.
"Yes?"
"Mr. Gibbs sir. I think you should know that not everyone here is even near being an adult. I'm only twelve." 'God if this is punishment; I swear I'm sorry for it all. Everything. Even slapping Dinozzo…well, maybe not that.' He thought staring to the sky.
"That's nice. Well don't expect any special treatment for it." He was about to start lecturing again.
"I don't need any special treatment. If anything everyone else here but me does. Didn't you realize I'm the YOUNGEST person here. And that this camp is for 14 and older but I'm so capable that I passed all the tests, with scores better than some the older kids here." Gibbs glared at her.
"That's nice."
"Annie. Annie Andrews. Black belt and top in my school. Which goes up to…" Gibbs cut her off.
"I wasn't looking for a name Mrs. Andrews. I was going to say let me finish my lecture. Is that ok with you?" Annie sneered obviously not appreciating the attention (or lack therefore of).
"Yes you can continue."
"Alright then." Gibbs went on with the procedures and said they would be running an obstical course. When they got through it they would give there name to the woman on the other side (Ziva). The teens got in line and took off through it. Gibbs watched from the sides. He was pleased with a few of the kids towards the front. One he recognized as the Darton girl. He smiled. Chelsea. He gazed around seeing Harley towards the middle. That little brat was not too far behind. Looking around Chelsea was near the front of the group close to the end. Looking back he saw Harley gain a quick time darting through and around target bags. He grinned. She had good judgment. Most of the kids were stuck in that area; you had to knock certain bags out to get past it. A lot of them rushed through it not caring to hit the targets as instructed. Going back to everyone else he studied the kids as they rushed through. All of them going for fast. What they didn't realize was that it wasn't about time. It was about efficacy, how well they did overall. As they finished he walked over to Ziva to discuss what they had seen. Back over with the teens. Harley heaved a sigh as she filled a cup with water from the cooler. She chugged it down. Chelsea ran up and slapped her on the back.
"Good job!" Harley chocked and coughed parts of the water back up. She smiled weakly and turned around.
"Thanks, you really breezed it though. I mean didn't you get in first?" Chelsea smiled but shook her head.
"Nah, second. But some of that stuff was way crazy." Harley nodded and the two laughed. Harley leaned back against the cooler preparing to talk to Chelsea for a bit longer. Chelsea however was pushed over before Harley could speak.
"Excuse me! I NEED to get some water and you are in my way." Those obnoxious red curls bounced towards Harley. She looked down at the little girl. Annie crossed her arms and huffed looking at Harley expecting her to get out of her way. Harley didn't budge. Annie's face scrunched up in irritation. Harley looked at her before speaking coolly.
"What? Do you need something?" Annie stomped her foot.
"I need to get some water." Harley blinked.
"And?" She shifted.
"Cooler is right here." She said tapping the huge jug. Annie hissed. By now Chelsea was standing and ready to tell her what was what. Harley leaned forward a bit resting her hand on Chelsea's shoulder lightly. The girls exchanged a look. Harley looked back to Annie.
"What are you waiting for? Water's right here." She wrapped on the tap. Annie glared but snatched a cup and filled it anyway. Harley smiled.
"See? It's not hard Ann." The little girl whipped around.
"That's Annie to you." She snapped. Harley made a mock surprised face.
"Oh well pardon me Ann…I mean Annie. And don't you want to say something to my friend?" She motioned to Chelsea. Annie raised an eyebrow.
"What would I wanna say to her?" She spat. Chelsea stepped forward.
"Well you could start with sorry for pushing you over MAM'." Annie started to turn pink. Chelsea blinked in surprise.
"Or not, we might wanna watch this one Harley. She's changing colors. She could be the mini-she hulk." Harley tried to stifle a laugh. Annie was red by now. She snarled.
"You two better watch yourselves! Nobody messes with ME!" She turned around and stalked off. The two older girls exchanged looks before breaking down laughing. Truth be told they would never be mean to a little girl but one like that, well frankly they deserved it but the two would have ignored her but she threw attitude with Gibbs. And as she, and anyone else who tested the ex-marine was about to learn. Harley was very protective of family…and apparently platoon leaders as well.
