Ok, so sorry about the delay in writing! I was going to type this Sunday night but then I saw that OneRepublic was performing at the Billboard Awards. Well, as you can tell, that didn't work out. And then when I was typing this Monday night, the electricity went out! It came back on for a few hours Tuesday and then went back out. Same with Wednesday… ultimate fail. Luckily, it came back on today! Let's just hope it doesn't do that again…

Disclaimer: Let me check….Nope I don't own NCIS. Nor have I ever for that matter. I do own the DVDs though!

"Are you sure? That definitely looked like something was going on." Tony observed.

"Yes, I agree. Something is out." Ziva added.

"Something is up." They all corrected her.

"Same thing!" Ziva shouted.

"Back to the point, what was going on?" Gibbs smirked. Tim and Abby looked at each other.

"I was blackmailing them." Emma admitted, smiling.

"About what?" Tony wondered. Tim's own daughter was blackmailing him? This had to be good.

"Oh, I have-" Before Emma could finish the sentence, Tim clamped a hand down on her mouth, much to her chagrin.

"Emmalynn!" Tim hissed. Emma smirked at the fact he was calling her by her full name.

"-to pee." Emma finished. By the looks the team exchanged, Emma could tell that they weren't exactly convinced.

"That's not what you were going to say." Tony stated.

"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't." Emma shrugged.

"What were you blackmailing them about?" Gibbs wondered. Emma looked at Tim, who gave her a warning look.

"Oh, they thought they broke a computer, but they didn't." Emma lied. Thankfully, this time the team was convinced.

"They better not have." Vance, who had been in the doorway for a while now, told them.

"Director Vance," Tim started, "we didn't break a computer."

"Good to know, Agent McGee." Vance retorted before walking into the lab. Emma cringed, wondering how much of that conversation the Head-Honcho had heard.

"When were you going to tell me that the girl-" Vance started, only to be cut off by Emma.

"Excuse me? I am a woman, thank you very much." Emma reminded him. She sheepishly looked at the floor when Vance glared at her.

"As I was saying, when were you going to tell me that the woman, who was our prime suspect for a while, was Agent McGee's daughter?" Vance asked. Emma stole a glance at Tim out of the side of her eye. He looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Busted." Emma muttered.

"We just hadn't got around to it yet." Gibbs responded, breaking the short yet awkward silence.

"Hadn't got around to it? I should have been informed of this as soon as you found out!" Vance shouted, making both Tim and Emma cringe. "Agents Gibbs and McGee: my office, now." Gibbs and McGee walked off.

"That's not good." Emma worried.

"It'll be fine." Tony told her. "Vance isn't completely heartless."

"Was that supposed to help me feel better? If so, it didn't work." Emma replied.

"Don't worry; I am sure that Vance will understand the situation McGee was in." Ziva added.

"I hope you're right." Emma mumbled.

"It's ok Ems, Timmy will be fine." Abby stated cheerfully.

"Thanks Abs. Oh and I'm sorry for blackmailing." Emma admitted.

"No worries, you're forgiven." Abby told her. Emma grinned.

"Thank you."

A/N: So I'm thinking about possibly writing another chapter tomorrow, that is if the power doesn't go out again.

Also, if you've lost interest in the story, have no fear. I have an idea for some upcoming chapters =]

Sorry if they seemed out of character a little bit. I'm not too good with writing Vance.

Love, Sarah.
