Just realised that I haven't been putting up disclaimers... So I don't own anyone from NCIS though I do own Amelia and Director Wood. Please R&R would you? I'm getting worried that no one reads this! Thanks guys

Six years later, I still hadn't completed my purpose of avenging my father's death. I had just solved many cases at the Pentagon. My first case there had closed after La Grenouille had been granted immunity which meant that we couldn't arrest him or charge him as we needed to. However, I had completed one of my goals, and that was to work my way up the Pentagon and so when Thomas Morrow asked me for a meeting, I was reluctant to go as I didn't know what I expected.

I hadn't heard from Morrow since my time in NCIS as a field agent, although I had seen him at events with the Pentagon, I had been keeping an eye on my own boss to make sure nothing happened to him, so didn't have much time for a social call with my own boss; thankfully I hadn't seen Jethro at any of those events.

Either way I agreed to meet Morrow, as he promised me that the meeting would be "Well worth your time, Jennifer."

I met him at a café and sat down at the table opposite him. "What's the matter, Director?"

"Ah, that's just why you are here, Jennifer."

"It's Jenny, and what do you mean. I don't have time for mind games."

"Yes, Jenny I know you are a busy woman, but this is serious. I am stepping down from my place as Director of NCIS."

"And why does that concern me?"

"Well, I think it's time for a new generation in place of Director, and I believe it is about time a woman had that title. I know that you aimed to get there, and Director Woods and I both think you are ready. I am offering you the position of Director of NCIS."

I sat there dumbstruck. I was waiting for him to tell me it was all a joke.

"Come to the NCIS base tomorrow and you can sign the paperwork and get started, Jenny. What do you say?"

I realised then that he was serious, so I quickly regained my composure. "Of course, what time should I be there?"

"0900 and I will make sure that they know to let you straight in. Come straight to MTac as I will overseeing a mission."

He stood and I followed and held my hand, "Thank you very much. I will see you tomorrow. I am sorry to hear you are leaving, but I am honoured to be your replacement."

"You're very welcome, Jenny. You will do well."

That night I got home and immediately rang Director Woods to inform him that I had accepted the job and wouldn't be coming into work the next day as I had a meeting with Morrow. He wasn't surprised. "I knew you would accept the job. I knew that was where you wanted to be in the end. I knew you didn't want to stay in the Pentagon all your life. Congratulations Jenny. You deserve this. You worked hard with us."

"Thank you, sir. I shall probably see you soon."

"Take care of yourself Jenny. I am always here if you need any help."

"And you sir, thank you."

After that I rang Amelia, and told her that I was leaving the office. "Congratulations Jenny! Blimey, Director of NCIS?! If you had turned that down I would have shot you myself! We should meet up for a celebration sometime soon, once it's all official."

"Definitely, Mia. Thank you." I was smiling so much my cheeks hurt.

"Thank you for what?"

"For being my friend."

Mia laughed. "Where's Jenny gone? Who's this soppy woman I am talking to right now?"

"You're right I am being soppy, but it's the truth."

"Aww bless you. I love you too Jenny."

"You too. I'll talk to you soon Mia."

"Talk soon Jenny. Take care of yourself."

"And you Mi Mi." I heard Mia laugh as she put the phone down.

After that I went into the kitchen and made myself a coffee. I was so excited that I was going back to NCIS. I had so many happy memories of that place and I couldn't wait to see everyone again. I knew it would have changed a bit since I had been there. It was more than likely that there were new agents there, although I knew that some were the same. I walked into my study and looked at the framed photo that still stood on the desk. The photo of Jethro and myself in Paris. I missed him so much and knew that it wasn't going to be easy going back to NCIS after so long, especially with Jethro still there. I knew he was because I had been keeping tabs on the happenings there.

But despite any bad feelings and despite the fact I hadn't had a boyfriend since Jethro, I went to sleep that night, knowing I had got to where I had always aimed to be, and that even if he hated me, I could still see him every day again.

This is the end of After Paris, but a sequel will be posted soon. Say if you think this is a good idea :)
