Ok am pretty sure that this will be the penultimate chapter. I am really glad that everyone who has reviewed so far likes this story and I hope that this next chapter doesn't disapoint. A couple of people have mentioned that I have managed to update really quickly and this is mainlt due to the fact that this story has been in my head for ages, it just took me a while to pluck up the courage to post it. If I decide to write another story the updates will not be as frequent. Not entirely sure of my ending so any suggestions are welcome.

Gibbs awoke to find the first light of day streaming through his curtains, he rolled over and checked his alarm, it was 7am Christmas Eve. Not quite sure what to make of last night he replayed the memories over in his head, it had to be a dream, there was no other realistic explanation. Feeling more settled he happily pulled himself out of bed as he set about getting ready for the day ahead.

Strolling out of the elevator at headquarters Gibbs stopped in his tracks as he heard a very familiar conversation:

'McGee please, please tell me that you bought the marshmallows?'

'Marshmallows McFairy, were they pink and fluffy?'

'Almost half the group is driving, so I am making hot chocolate'

'You're not allowed to hit me'

At the sound of Dinozzo's self righteous tone Gibb's snapped out of the trance he appeared to have slipped into. Thoroughly confused and slightly worried he snapped:

'The whole lot of you stop stalling, and acting like school children and get back to your work unless you want to spend Christmas celebrating unemployment'

'Ever heard of Christmas spirit Jethro?'

His stomach sank as he whipped around and came face to face with Jenny wearing the same outfit she had had on in his dream, running his eyes up her form they met her green eyes, which were sparkling with curiosity obviously wondering why he hadn't replied. The image of her blank eyes staring up at him flashed through his mind, his ears were buzzing as he realised that this really was too big of a coincidence, and if it wasn't a coincidence then his visions were coming true and that meant….

'Jethro, are you ok?', her voice cut through his racing thoughts, she looked at him concern shining through. He thought fast, he had to get her to get rid of those bloody shoes:

'Fine Jen, just wondering if it's really appropriate for a head of a federal agency to walk around in footwear which would quite honestly be more appropriate on a hooker', The team winced slightly and braced themselves for the director's onslaught.

Jenny's eyes narrowed, she took a deep breath to try and steady herself, disappointment that he saw her this way, and rage that he would say it in front of her employee's coursed through her.

'You know what Agent Gibbs I spend most of my time chasing your tail and cleaning up your mess, if you had any real idea of the chaos you cause on a daily basis and had to fix it yourself, then your self-centred, egotistical head would most likely explode. So how about for a change you concentrate on the standard of your work rather than what I put on in the morning, and learn some manners', with that Jenny turned to storm away, only to be interrupted by Abby's obviously nervous voice piping up

'Director before you go, you will be there tonight, I know you're busy but we can't have Christmas without mommy, so please, please, please…..'

Jenny's eyes softened slightly as surveyed the young Goth, 'Abby I will be there, just for a few hours though, I really do have a lot to catch up on, a certain case turned into a debacle and as usual I will need to spend most of the night putting some damage control in place', Abby nodded at the older woman and then hugged her ecstatically. 'That is completely acceptable, see you around 4', and bounced out the room. Jenny shook her head slightly cheered, and making a point of ignoring Gibbs she headed up to her office.

Jethro watched her head up the stairs, he turned to glare at his team who jumped back to work. Sitting down at his desk he began to think about what he should do next, insulting her hadn't worked although to be honest he had till four before he had to prevent anything, and he would stop this, no matter what it took, he wouldn't let her down.

At 2pm the floor was just about empty, Gibb's team was packing up. Hearing a door slam, the team looked up to the catwalk to see the director storming through the doors that lead from her office, rapidly flicking through papers as she went. Jethro looked up his heart was beating so fast he thought it might explode out of his chest, he grimaced as he heard McGee ask:

'Ever seen a woman walk that fast in heels?'

'Only after a really hairy date probmister'

Gibbs for the first time in his life was truly terrified, his feet seemed to be glued to the floor as he watched her progress, she was halfway along the catwalk when he suddenly began running as fast as he could, desperate to reach her before it was too late……

Jenny was seriously pissed off as she stormed out of her office, she had been reading through Agent Gibb's case reports and they were nothing short of a joke. She stepped onto the stairs, her attention elsewhere so she didn't notice the loose bit of carpeting until she felt her heel get caught in it. Unable to stop herself she hurtled forward, case files flying out of her grip, and a small noise of shock escaped her lips. She reached out desperate for something to stop her fall, finding nothing but air………..
