AN: warning, song contains adult themes.

"Come on jenny give us a song!"

Jennifer shepherd the director of NCIS could not believe she had let herself be dragged by Abby into this "team" karaoke session.

"But I don't sing."

Cynthia chose this time to chip in.

"You sing beautifully!"

Jen shot her a look that said she wasn't helping.

"I don't know what to sing."

DiNozzo stood up.

"Come on. Make something up and McGeek can put some music to it on his nerd centre (computer). Think of … I don't know … Gibbs as a prompt!"

"ok then. But this isn't going to end well!"

She stood up and started to sing.

"I find the map and draw a straight line

Over rivers, farms, and state lines

The distance from 'A' to where you'd be

It's only finger-lengths that I see

I touch the place where I'd find your face

My finger increases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar

There is no peace that I've found so far

The laughter penetrates my silence

As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises

Ghosts with just voices

Your words in my memory

Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,

I lay down on the cold ground

I, I pray that something picks me up

And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far

We'd set the fire to the third bar

We'd share each other like an island

Until exhausted, close our eyelids

And dreaming, pick up from

The last place we left off

Your soft skin is weeping

A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,

I lay down on the cold ground

And I, I pray that something picks me up

and sets me down in your warm arms

I'm miles from where you are,

I lay down on the cold ground

and I, I pray that something picks me up

and sets me down in your warm arms"

Everybody sat with their mouths hanging open. Mike Franks and Fornell (who are somehow in this karaoke session) looked at each other and said one word;

"Paris!"

Jenny got up and climbed up towards her office.

"I said it wouldn't end well!"
