Team Gibbs has been working on a high-profile kidnapping-case and after a nearly 48 hours shift and manhunt the team with help from Jack's profile of the kidnapper and of the victim, they had finally managed to track down the kidnapper.
Jack has been working for nearly 48 hours when the team runs out to finally rescue the kidnapped girl and take down the kidnapper. After the team has left for the final rescue Jack has gone to her office to finish up some paperwork. Gibbs had promised her to give her an update as soon as the kidnapped girl was safe. It had been a case that has been rough on every member of the team. After about half an hour of doing paperwork, Jack finally gets a text from Gibbs. "the girl is safe." It is all it says. Jack is relieved. The girl is safe after 48 hours of kidnapping. Jack walks over at lays down on her couch. it won't be long before Gibbs and his team comes back and they can all go home for the night. They will have time to do the paperwork tomorrow.
Jack feels the gentle touch of lips kissing her temple and the feeling on a hand gently touching her face and then she hears a sweet whispering voice saying "it is over Jack. Time to go home."
Jack is in a stage in between subconsciousness and consciousness when she hears the loud a clear voice of Tim Mcgee. "hey boss." It wakes Jack up and fully Aware of where she is. She quickly sits up and whips the sleep out of her eyes.
"what McGee?" Gibbs asks. He is standing by the end of the coffee table. His voice is harsh, but he also sounds tired.
"Sorry boss." Mcgee looks over at Jack who is sheepishly rubbing the sleep out of her eyes for them to adjust to the light faster.
"Sorry, Jack. I didn't mean to wake you up."
"it is fine McGee. How did it go?" Jack asks standing up.
"fine. The girl is safe." Gibbs says to Jack in a gentle voice before he turns to Mcgee with his death stare.
"did you need something McGee?" Gibbs asks.
"no sorry boss I just wanted to let you know that we found the money and the kidnappers cellphone used to make the ransom call."
"and that couldn't wait till tomorrow, McGee?" Gibbs asks.
"Sorry boss," Tim says and leaves quickly. Gibbs turns back to Jack.
"you should go home Jack and sleep in your home bed. It is better for you."
"I didn't want to leave before I knew the case was over." Jack lies. She really just didn't want to leave the office.
"come on," Gibbs says and grabs her jacket and her purse from her desk.
"I'll drive you home," he says more as an order than as an offer. Jack knows better than to argue with Gibbs so she just silently accept. Gibbs helps her with her jacket and then hands her purse. He then turns off the light in her office before he leaves her out of her office and closes the door behind them.
"did you say anything to me before McGee came?" Jack asks.
"While you were asleep Jack?" Gibbs asks.
Jack can hear how silly her question sounds that he is pointing it out loud to her. "never mind. Gibbs." She just simply says, and they walk to the elevator in silence.
