Joint Investigations: All's Well that Ends Well

"The hospital just called." Gibbs announced as he entered the squad room. "Our shooter pulled through surgery and is stable."

Tasha shifted in here spot on Tim's lap so she could see his face, which was brightened by a smile. She knew their current position was highly unprofessional but Tim had refused to let go of her since the incident in the alley, and the truth was she wasn't about to argue with him.

"Way to go McSniper." Tony actually complimented. "You took down a Navy SEAL without actually killing him."

"Which means he will be able to stand trial." Ziva smiled.

Tasha squeezed Tim's hand. It turned out that formed Petty Officer Second Class Hank Logan had been dishonorably discharged from the Navy for insubordination and had since become an eco-terrorist of sorts. After hearing that the military's latest sonar project could possibly be harming whales in the Atlantic he took it upon himself to end it.

"Good work Tim." Gibbs said, handing out one of his coveted complements. "All of you go home, get some rest."

No one argued with that order as they said their assorted goodbyes. They knew that the next time they came into the office Tasha wouldn't be with them but they also knew that they'd be seeing a lot of her if McGee had anything to say about it.

"You know I don't think I ever thanked you properly for saving me." Tasha said with a small smile as she and Tim exited the elevator on the ground floor.

"We've got plenty of time for that." he said with a smile, pulling her closer as they walked out of the building.

Thanks for reading!!!
