A/N: Hello faithful readers! Thank you so much for sticking with me, i know its been a while, what can i say, RL! Uni is back up & this semester looks to be a chaotic one, so i'm not sure how often I will able to update, but I will do my best to not leave it too long between chapters, but please be patient. To my recent favourites/followers, welcome aboard! To my reviewers, thank you so much! You keep me inspired!

Now, let's see where things are at..

Kelly led Mike down the hall & spying an empty meeting room she dragged him inside & closed the door.

Mike looked at her curiously "not that I mind not going to see that Doc babe, but why are we in here?"

Kelly just grinned as she wrapped her arms around his neck "so I can do this" she whispered before leaning in & giving him a passionate kiss.

Mike grinned coming out of it "that was pretty important, this too" he grinned as he lifted her up & gave her another kiss. That first kiss in that big orange room while nice, was too quick. But as a marine it wasn't really proper to show too many public displays of affection, this private moment was just what he needed. He never wanted to let her go, he went to take a stronger grip of her legs that were wrapped around his waist when he heard the door start to open, shit! He dropped her to the ground instantly & straightened his uniform as quickly as he could.

Kelly had really been enjoying the kiss when she heard the door start to open, she felt Mike lower her instantly, but she jumped down the rest of the way & hastily straightened her top, damn it! She saw who it was, and was mildly relived "Lt Robertson" she greeted, but then she saw another person enter "Ted"

Ted's eyes widened at seeing Kelly in their room "Kelly" but then he took in the young man standing next to her, marine uniform & that name tag, well, it seemed that the missing boy had been located & he was right here in Washington! The other thing he realised was that both of them were looking rather flushed, just like they had been interrupted.

Kelly knew she looked flushed, and she wasn't exactly thrilled that she had been interrupted, especially by Ted! He would likely tell her dad about this in an instant "Ah, hi, um, this is my boyfriend Mike Bond" she said to him "this is Vincent Robertson, he's from the Seattle SWAT team, and this is Ted Taylor he's from the DC SWAT team, and he also lives behind my dad" she explained to Mike.

Mike's eyes flashed wide open for a moment, a SWAT Lieutenant that obviously knew her father? Crap! He straightened up as best he could "pleased to meet you sir, Lt Michael Bond" he greeted Ted, before turning to other man "pleased to meet you too sir"

Ted saw that the sentence about him being Gibbs neighbour had caused an instant reaction, the boy had gone ramrod straight, this was going to be interesting! And maybe even a little fun too "Michael, nice to meet you too, guess you're safe & not in Frankfurt"

"Ah, no sir. I managed to get out on the first available transport & I tried sending a message through marine comms, but it didn't get through" Mike responded, did everyone know that Kelly had been looking for him?

"Might want to tell your friend Atkins that you're safe & here, he's been trying to track you down most of the day & its nice to meet you too" Robertson remarked.

"Will do sir" Mike nodded

"So what are the pair of you doing in here? Shouldn't you be in the conference room?... with your parents" Ted asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We just came from there, going to see Ducky but I just wanted a private moment, we'll ahhh… just go now" Kelly finished in a stutter, as she started to pull Mike out the door. She prayed Ted wouldn't say anything about this to her dad! She really didn't know what his reaction would be.

Ted had to stop them "Why are you going to see Ducky?"

Mike held Kelly back as he looked at the man "my hand is slightly injured sir" he explained showing it to him "Mrs G is insisting that I get it checked out"

"Then best get going" Ted suggested "oh, and I don't think its advisable for the pair of you to be in here again, it's a room that is in constant use"

Mike swallowed "yes sir" he walked out of the room with Kelly cursing himself, could that meeting have gone any worse? They got a little way away from the room before he asked "ah, just how close is your father to that Lt Taylor?"

"Ah, pretty close I'm afraid, sorry!" Kelly cringed.

Mike huffed, he would have to make sure to remain completely & utterly respectable every damn minute! "great intro KG, and what's this Doctor like?"

Tony stretched his neck "so, who do you want next? The driver, Ainsworth, or maybe Acron?"

"The guy that was toe to toe with Gibbs & Taylor in the alley?" Fornell queried.

"That'd be the one" Tony nodded, while he wanted a piece of that asshole, he had had his share of asshole interviews already, so he'd let Fornell take this one if he wanted to.

"Yea, I'll take him" Fornell nodded "you've got to do Phoenix's interview, that takes precedence"

Tony nodded in agreement "Tripoli's with Bardon?"

"Yeap" Fornell nodded "doing his interview as we speak, he'll wait for Ziva to be done showing Barrett the body before taking a crack at him"

Tony nodded "ok, so that only leaves Olsen then, he's being released from Bethesda at some point today"

"Don't forget that Lt Rooney guy" Fornell remarked "where's he at?" trying to juggle all these interviews wasn't exactly easy! And that doesn't even bring into it all the reports they'd have to run their eyes over from all the SWAT officers.

"Should be getting here anytime now" Tony answered "and McGee is almost certain the guy did what we think"

"Once he finishes we should get him onto the SWAT reports" Fornell remarked

"Yea, already got Maurice & Banks going through them, once he'd finished looking into Rooney, he can work with them on it" Tony agreed, he was glad to have Fornell with him to co-ordinate all of this! There were so many facets to bring together, he'd never had such a complicated write up before!

"Either of you want coffee?" Ted enquired "heading downstairs to check on Nix & grab a fresh round"

"Salvation sounds great" Fornell smirked.

Harry accepted the ball from his grandfather & passed it to Nix "there you go Nix" he smiled

Nix smiled as he accepted it & went to kick the ball past Keeps, he aimed to his right & let out a huff, Keeps had palmed the ball away, damn it!

"Nice try shrimp" Keeps smirked, he wasn't going to let him score on him every time!

Nix sighed as he went to retrieve the ball that had rolled away, but moving a few steps away he drew up short, someone had picked the ball up & was carrying back towards him, his eyes widened in surprise.

Henry had seen a young boy, perhaps a little younger than his grandson, pick up the ball and start to throw it between his hands as he started to approach Phoenix, but looking to Samuel, he had a feeling the boy was known, as he was being smiled at and the words that came out of the boys mouth only confirmed it.

"Now what have I told you squirt? You gotta aim low, he's too much of a lumberjack to get down fast to block the shot" came the smirked remark.

"Myles!" Nix grinned as he headed straight for him.

Jack shared a look with Henry as his grandson took off towards this boy, Myles, who'd just approached, he & Samuel clearly knew him. Myles looked to be a little younger than his granddaughter, he was clean-cut, solid build & short hair, he wondered who he was.

"Hey squirt" Myles smiled, he crouched down and spoke quietly "you ok bud?"

"Yeap!" Nix nodded "all good!"

"You sure?" Myles asked, he wanted to really make sure he was ok.

Nix nodded "Yea, I'm good" he answered sincerely.

"Hey dad" Ted remarked getting closer, he'd seen Nix rush up to a young boy & that his father, son, Jack & Samuel were all looking one "who's that?"

"Myles Bond sir" Samuel answered "one of Lt Michael Bond's younger brothers" he just didn't understand what he was doing here? He was supposed to be back in Texas!

Ted's eyes widened in surprise, now there was not one but two Bond boys here? He watched as the boy, Myles, took Phoenix into a hug.

Myles smiled & ruffling his hair he smiled "glad to hear it squirt" he saw the boy go to lean in & brought he into him for a hug "you're all good bud" he reassured as he squeezed.

Nix just smiled as he let Myles give him a reassuring hug.

Samuel approached the pair "Myley" he smirked.

Myles rose "Lumberjack" he smirked in response "you still take a while to get down"

"And is that still a bald patch from your headers?" Samuel smirked pointing to the top right hand part of his hairline.

"Looks like it" Nix grinned

Myles looked down to the grinning boy "I'll give you bald patch!" as he took a step closer grinning downwards.

"Introductions are needed Myles" Samuel remarked interrupting what was sure to have started had he not. He shared a look & motioned behind himself to the group looking their way.

Myles looked over Keeps' shoulder & saw a group of men looking their way, he realised Keeps was right & recomposed himself.

Harry watched as the trio walked back the short distance to them, and he couldn't help but notice how close Myles was walking to Nix, and on closer inspection, he actually had his hand on Nix's shoulder, in a comforting way. Clearly this Bond family knew them, and not just Mike.

Samuel wanted to do this introduction properly, so he spoke as soon as they were respectably close enough, he looked at the elder Gibbs "Mr Gibbs sir, this is Myles Bond, one of Michael's younger brothers. Myles, this is Mr Jackson Gibbs, Kelly & Phoenix's grandfather"

Myles eye's flashed wide open, their grandfather? Wow! "Great pleasure to meet you sir" he said extending his hand.

Jack smiled as he took his hand "it's a pleasure to meet you as well Myles"

"This is Harry Taylor, that friend of Kelly's I mentioned, his father Lt Ted Taylor & his grandfather retired Captain Henry Taylor" Samuel said introducing Myles to the Taylor men.

Myles wasn't sure who to greet first, so he went for the closest one "pleased to meet you Captain Taylor, sir" he greeted extending his hand.

"Myles, pleased to meet you as well" Henry replied shaking the young man's hand, before he watched the young boy introduce himself to his son.

"Nice meeting you too, Myles" Ted remarked, this young boy looked almost identical to his brother & he definitely was holding himself in a similar manner, he was guessing military school or something similar.

"Harry, friends call me H" Harry greeted him, he could see just how comfortable Nix was with him, so he wanted to be welcoming.

"Myles, friends call me Moby" Myles greeted in response.

With pleasantries exchanged Samuel wanted some answers "what ya doing here Myley?"

"Figured I'd come over as I wasn't sure how long it would take Mike to get leave" Myles answered, but his smile was reserved for Nix.

"Cool!" Nix grinned

"Your brother's here" Ted remarked

Myles did a double take "pardon sir?"

"Your brother, he's inside, just bumped into him & Kelly" Ted further explained.

"Really?" Myles asked totally shocked "he never told me he'd gotten leave.." he didn't voice his concern, he hoped he'd gotten the leave approved & not gone AWOL!

"Well, he's inside as we speak, he did something to his hand, so Kelly's taken him to see Dr Mallard" Ted answered, he could see the surprise on the boys faces "can take you to them if you'd like"

"If you wouldn't mind sir, that would be appreciated" Myles remarked, now worried about his brother, a brother who rarely hurt himself & saw a doctor.

"I have to get back to my post, but we'll chat soon" Samuel remarked, he then looked to Myles "tell your brother to call me" he too couldn't believe Mike was in town without his knowledge.

"Sure" Myles nodded before looking down "what's say we go see the funny couple huh?"

Nix nodded, Mike was here too! This was awesome! "Yea, let's go"

"I've gotta scoot, starting shift soon" Harry remarked "can I get a lift pop?"

"Of course" Henry nodded "I'll run Harry to his precinct and collect Martha, Ted, anything in particular I can bring back?"

"We're all fine, thanks dad, Marth's already got the order ready" Ted finished with a smile down to Nix.

Nix just grinned in response, those pastries were delicious!

Ducky had finished up with his latest autopsy, glad he was rid of it, he despised the men that were currently in his drawers and could not wait until they were out of his room. He knew though that he was going to get a visit by Ziva and Timothy with one of the live men to see MacDonald's body. Once that was done, he could actually undertake MacDonald's autopsy, he was the last one he had to do.

"Mr Palmer, start the pre-autopsy checklist on that man" Ducky instructed pointing to the drawer MacDonald was in. He wanted to be done with all of them!

"Got it right here" Jimmy answered, but he heard the doors chime open, he expected to see Ziva & Tim, but it wasn't, it was the director!

"Director" Ducky greeted "what can we do for you?"

"Just checking to see how the autopsy's are progressing, the case files are progressing at a good rate & I just wanted to know how long before we can close this part of things" Jenn answered

"One to go Director, MacDonald's" Ducky remarked when he heard the doors chime again & his eyes widened "Kelly" he greeted warmly but surprised, he then saw a young marine officer enter with her, who was this?

"Dr Mallard" Kelly greeted, she then saw "ah, Director" she greeted surprised.

Mike's eyes widened as he took in the woman, Director? What the NCIS Director?

"Kelly" Jenn greeted warmly.

"Something I can do for you my dear?" Ducky asked, he wasn't sure what she was doing down here but with the anytime arrival of Ziva with that man, he wanted her gone.

"Ah, Dr Mallard, Director Sheppard this Lt Michael Bond, my boyfriend" Kelly said with a smile to Mike, it felt good to say that again "Mike, Doctor Mallard & Director Sheppard" she then saw Jimmy "and this is Jimmy Palmer"

"Dr Mallard sir" Mike greeted the elder man before looking at the Director "Director Sheppard, ma'am, pleased to meet you both, Jimmy"

"Nice to meet you as well Lt Bond" Jenn remarked surprised, the boy was here already? She knew about Gibbs's attempts to get in touch with the Frankfurt base trying to find him.

"Lt Bond" Ducky greeted, he waited for Jimmy to do likewise before speaking again "so what brings the pair of you down here?" he stowed his surprise at the 'boyfriend' comment, that was best dealt with at a later time.

"Ah, Mike's done something to his hand & mum & I want to see if you could take a look at it" Kelly requested

"Of course" Ducky nodded "why don't we go into my office & I can take a good look" he suggested, he wanted the pair of them, especially Kelly, out of the autopsy room.

Jenn could see Ducky was trying to rush the pair and wondered why. She saw Jimmy start to lead them to the office when the door chimed again & her eyes widened, Ziva and oh boy! She suddenly realised why Ducky was trying to rush through the greeting with them!

Mike turned at the noise as he saw the Doctor's eyes widen, he turned and was greeted with a sight that disgusted him. He growled as he pulled Kelly behind himself & handed her his cover, he snarled not even noticing whom he was with, he didn't care!

"If it isn't GI Joe" Barrett smirked at seeing the young punk kid.

"Asshole" Mike snarled

Ziva's eyes widened at who was in here, what on earth was Kelly doing down here now? She saw McGee was just as surprised, Gibbs wasn't going to like this, not one little bit! She wondered if they could remove him for enough time for the Director to remove Kelly from the room? She was going to try something when..

"Well hello Louise" Barrett smirked, taking a step forward towards her.

"Kelly!" Mike barked, he gripped the man & shoved back against the wall "her name is Kelly asshole!" barked again.

Tim's eyes were wide in shock at what Mike was doing, this young guy certainly had balls!

"Louise suits her better" Barrett smirked, he always did love riling this boy up!

"You wanna breath dickhead?" Mike snarled, the guy was a real dickhead!

Kelly wasn't liking this, she hated Barrett! He was as bad as Quinn was, but having Mike here with her was definitely helping, it always did.

"Lt Bond" Jenn called, she was more than taken aback by his sudden, well, it was rather Gibbs-like venom. However, she had to remove them from the situation, she knew Gibbs would not like this situation one little bit!

Mike knew what the Director wanted & was about to step back when the doors opened again.

Ducky couldn't believe what was going on before his eyes, the one thing he knew though was that this boy, Michael, was extremely protective of Kelly, but when the chime went again, he wondered who it could be this time!?

"….i'm sure he'll be…" Myles was saying when he pulled up short, his eyes widened at what he saw, he instantly pulled Nix behind him & pushed him towards Kelly "go to your sister" he urged before he drew himself up behind his brother.

Kelly brought her brother into her hold, she was shocked to see Myles, but comforted as well, having them both here right now was welcomed!

"Well if it isn't baby GI Joe" Barrett snarled

Myles snarled "dickhead"

Ted was utterly shocked that this man was down here while Kelly was! How on earth did this happen? Jethro wasn't going to be pleased! He couldn't really get his hands on this guy, Mike well, had that in hand, he placed himself in front of Kelly & Phoenix creating another buffer, just as Myles, the Director, and Ducky had all done. He did however flash a look towards Jack who'd gone to stand next to his grandchildren, the disgust was clear on his face, he also saw concern.

Jack had quickly assessed the situation & knew it wasn't good, while he didn't know who this man was, it was clear he was one of Mac's. He saw the tension throughout his granddaughter's body & the flurry with which Myles had pushed his grandson into the waiting arms of his sister. He promptly went over to them as well to give them what support he could.

"And if it isn't the pathetic bo…" Barrett started

Mike slammed him back against the wall "shut the fuck up! Before I screw your nose just like your jaw!"

"Ask Johnson about screwed noses, you might get matching sets" Myles smirked "you say another word, and you will!" he added with a snarl.

Jenn realised enough was enough, she looked to Ted "Lt Taylor, why don't you take them back upstairs please"

Ted could only agree, he turned "Lets go back upstairs, come on" he motioned to Kelly. Even though there were plenty of bodies in the room & the man was handcuffed, he made sure to keep himself between the kids & that man. He wanted nothing more than to rip him a new one, but again, someone else seemed to be filling that void.

Kelly really couldn't get herself & her brother out of there quick enough, she almost ran, but she was missing someone.

Mike took a firmer hold on Barrett as Kelly got herself & Nix out of the room, he felt his brother, who he had no idea was coming to DC, push himself further into him too, obviously creating another layer of protection "I've told you already, you say another disparaging remark about a kid who has more potential than you could wish for in 10 lifetimes I would do more than fuck your jaw over & I mean that!"

"Mike!" Kelly called from the hallway.

"Go Myles" Mike instructed "you're never to talk to either of them ever again!" he snarled at Barrett.

Ziva pulled Barrett away as soon as Mike had let up on his grip of the man, she pulled him down to the other end of the room "keep your mouth shut!" she barked

Mike kept his complete focus on Barrett until he was well down the other end of the room with 2 agents holding onto him. Feeling his brother's hand on his shoulder he finally retreated out of the room. He saw 2 marine MP's though "inside Corporal, that man isn't to leave until we have cleared the area, understood?"

"Yes sir!" the corporal answered as he came to attention, before following his partner into the room.

Ted followed them out only when all 3 Gibbs's, as well as the 2 Bond boys had exited the room, he passed the 2 MP's having heard their orders, seemed this boy was definitely a good sort. He however wanted to get them upstairs to Jethro & Shannon fast, he knew they'd be hurting from that encounter. He saw though that Mike had taken not just Kelly, but Phoenix into his hold almost instantly.

Mike brought Kelly & Nix into him "would never let him near you two" he soothed.

Nix had gone from elation to fear, he hated the guy, what made him feel somewhat ok was that Mike & Myles were both there, and now being out of the room & in Mike's hold was definitely helping.

Mike pulled away but only enough to crouch down, he put a hand on Nix's shoulder "you don't listen to a word he said, none of it. The man's a lowlife, who never amounted to anything, he's got nothing on you Phoenix. You're a thousand times better than any of them! Forget them, they don't matter to us anymore, ok?"

Nix nodded quietly "ok"

Mike gave him a small smile & brought him into his hold "good to see you squirty, I'm here now" he whispered rubbing the boys back.

Myles watched as his brother soothed Nix so he went to Kelly "Hey KAGy, come 'ere" he smiled.

Kelly smiled & went into a hug with Myles "hey"

Jack had watched these interactions with interest, he was glad they were now out of that room & though he hadn't met this young man yet & had only discovered his granddaughter had a boyfriend, he was quite impressed with his actions in protecting his grandchildren, as well as how he was handling things with his grandson. Yes his initial impressions of the boy, both of them in fact, was a good one.

A/N: This wasn't where I wanted to end it, but I think it will have to do. So Mike certainly take kindly to the appearance of said bad guy but he didn't shrink, think he would have decked him, if given the chance! But just what will Gibbs make of what had just happened? And Mike's brother come too! Things are getting a little crowded, but they're getting sorted out, which is the main thing. Tony & Fornell seem to have things going smoothly, but what will happen when Rooney arrives?

Just my regular plug for my Facebook & fan pages, They'll also be some new fan-art going up soon! So check them out!
