Flashback

As I stood looking over the bull pen, my coffee cup gripped cautiously in between my hands, I raised the coffee cup to my lips and took one sip. Letting the aroma invade all my sense's, closing my eyes and inhaling deeply the strong inviting fragrance, this is how Coffee is supposed to be. My eyes wandered in the direction of Gibbs's desk, he was staring at me with a curious look etched upon his features. I raised my eyebrows in mock confusion.
I was disturbed from my interesting little game, by the insistent ringing of my cell phone.

"Shepard" I answered, hopeful that it was no yet more paperwork.

"Yes, I understand Sir!" I hung up, I was intrigued by the sec navs interest in a new case, that had yet to be reported. Well I guessed, by his phone call that was him informing me it was an important case.

Looking at my cell phone I decided against calling him. Looking over he was immersed in his own thoughts, I could practically hear him thinking.
I wandered down the stairs, as I passed Dinozzo's desk I could feel his eyes boring into me. Staring at my ass as I walked. I gave my walk an extra 'wiggle'. I knew Gibbs would punish him later for leering.

I stopped in front of his desk, noticing he was still somewhere else, another time, another place. I slid onto his desk and smiled at McGee who watched me with interest. I knew what he was thinking, he was waiting for Gibbs to attack. However I knew better, I felt his arm wrap round my coffee cup and relieved it from my grasp. I didn't even blink. This small event captured the attention of the rest of the team. Dinozzo stared open mouthed, Ziva smacked him on the head with a scrunched up piece of paper. I just laughed, I turned around slightly to speak to Gibbs.
I watched him cautiously sniff the offending liquid as he gripped onto it. He took a small sip and smirked; "I see your coffee taste has changed, for the better finally!" - I smiled and reached over to pries it from his grasp, he pouted and took another long drink. Handing it back over. I shook the polystyrene cup suspiciously. "You didn't have to finish it you know!" He smirked at me, before catching the not so subtle glares we were receiving from the rest of the team. I got momentarily distracted and lost in the closeness we once shared.
He coughed loudly bringing me out of my haze. "Something you needed Jen?" I slid off his desk adopting my 'directorial' stance; "New case" I frowned. "Lt Commander's wife, killed in a hit and run, apparently there are extra ordinary circumstances, the case is now yours." I leant closer "The Sec Nav is taking an unusual special interest in this one Jethro, he suggested I used the best, so.."

"Yes Director" He winked opening his draw and collecting his badge and gun.

"Gear up, we have a case, McGee get the truck, Ziva inform Ducky" He halted as I reached his side. Dinozzo still had his eyes fixed on me. SLAP "Dinozo move it," "On it boss" he rubbed his head as the three agents walked towards the elevator.

I glared at Gibbs as he eyes me suspiciously; "This is my case, no looking over my shoulder and 'try' not to interfere, Hurry up we're leaving, you've got five minutes."

He knew me too well, I hadn't even realised that I wanted to 'play' an agent for the day, but he did. I raced up the stairs to collect my weapon and badge. It was good to get back into the field now and then brush up on my skills. The sayings true 'Use it or loose it' Well that's what I reasoned anyway!

I briskly walked into my office retrieving my gun and changing my shoes, luckily today I'd opted for trousers instead of a skirt, I opened the cupboard and pulled out my black crocs, kept there for this very purpose, I carefully slid off my Prada heels and stuck them in the cupboard, before grabbing my coat before rushing past Cynthia "I'll be shadowing Gibbs's team today, cancel all my appointments I'm on the Cell." I rushed out, hoping that she caught it all in time. I jumped into the elevator and pressed the button for the underground car park. I felt the adrenaline coursing it's way through my veins, I was buzzing. I'd missed that feeling, not that I'd ever openly admit it. I loved field work, it satisfied my unquenchable thirst for truth to solve the 'puzzle.'

As the doors sprung open revealing a bustling car park, agents leaving setting off to investigate case's and returning from crime scenes. Some face's enthusiastic some shocked to the core. I spotted Gibbs leaning casually on the bonnet of his car, arm outstretched obviously glaring at his watch. He didn't look up as I approached, simply jumped into the car and started up the engine. I slipped into the passenger side silently. "If you'd been a second later Jen I'd have left without you." He slammed his foot on the accelrator speeding off through the Navy yard.

"Feel like playing agent today Jen?" He spat. I was hurt by this, he always done this.

"Jethro if you remember correctly, it was you who suggested I accompany your team." I saw the grin creep across his face - "Yeah Jen because I seen the look in your eyes." I stared at him again, what could he mean? I didn't know if he'd answer but I thought I'd ask. "What are you insinuating Jethro?" His grin widened as he replied. "Admit it Jen, you miss the adrenaline buzz, being stuck in that office and all."

He knew he was right, I knew he was right, but both also knew I'd never in a million years admit it!

As we reached the crime scene I let out a long breath I didn't realise I'd been holding. It had been a while since I'd been in a car with him, I didn't think my Stomach could take much more. As he shifted the stick into 'park' he lightly touched my thigh, his hand lingering there for a few moments. He snapped his hand back and jumped out the car. I followed suit, today he was in charge and I liked it.

"What you got McGee?" he enquired.
