A/N: In this story assume that the director isn't Jen but Ben a made up guy, okay thanks!

Gibbs had finally crossed the line, no he didn't just cross it like before, he didn't just put a toes across it, he took a running start and hurtled over the line with both feet. The new director, Ben Hansen wasn't going to stand for it. So Gibbs was 'let go' and this was the message left on the team's desks.

Dear,

Special Agents DiNozzo, McGee, Ms. Sciuto, Ms. David Dr. Mallard and Mr. Palmer,

I regret to inform you that do too former Agent Gibbs' actions on the Jenkins case; he has been asked to leave. The new head of your team will be arriving at 1200 hours today. Please see me with any questions/comments you have about this new team leader.

Ben Hansen

NCIS Director

Tony looked up at the empty bullpen, he was the first to arrive expecting to finish the paperwork that Gibbs had told him to get done. After a moments shock he pulled the phone off the receiver and quickly dialed in Abby's cell number, after two ringing she picked up.

"Abby Sciuto, fabulous lab tech how may I be of service?"

"Abs' it's Tony I have to tell you something umm"

"Well spit it out…You're going down elf lord!…What is it Tony?"

"Elf lord isn't that McGee? No down answer that Abs Gibbs has been fired."

"WHAT!" Abby shrieked "No way we're coming in now. You call Ziva I'll call the duckman and McGee will call Palmer."

"Abs, Ducky is in London for the next two weeks. Just call Palmer and have everybody meet in your lab."

"Okay Tony… does this mean that you're the team leader now?"

"Nope the new leader is coming in at noon today."

"Be there in ten Tony." Abby said clearing she was planning on giving no regard to the speed limit is she lived at least 20 miles away.

ABBY'S LAB

When they all met in Abby's lab fifteen minutes later, McGee sitting on Abby's desk, Abby on the evidence table, Tony in the spinning chair Ziva and Palmer were both leaning on her desk.

"Alright what are we going to do about this?" Abby asked.

"Maybe this new guy won't be so bad why don't we give them a chance?" Palmer quietly spoke up after a long pause as the employees pondered what to do.

"Jimmy! What about Gibbs we have to get him back." Ziva said as she gave her co-worker a shocked look.

"The director hates him if he wasn't being fired over this it would be over something else." Jimmy tried to defend his position.

"I guess we could try to tolerate this new guy…"

"New girl actually. Hello my name is Samantha Smith but you'll can call be Sam." A woman in jeans and a 'peace on earth' tie-dye tight t-shirt with flowing black hair and soft gray eyes. Interrupted McGee. "I suppose you are my new team, I believe that a team should be able to share with each other so why don't we start out with a group hug." Sam said in a too happy voice.

The team just blinked at her. "I wasn't joking" the new agent insisted. "Come on now." When she saw that no one was moving she walked around to each of them giving them a long hug. When she was done she stood back looked at the team and said, "I think we are going to have a very happy working relationship, best friends even." As she left the room her black hair swishing behind her, Palmer turned to Tony and said, "Okay you guys are right we need Gibbs back but how?"
