-----------------------------CHAPTER 10---------------------------Divvying Up Assignments
Ziva and Buffy quietly followed Gibbs as he exited the elevator and headed towards the bullpen. McGee and Tony watched them walk up, and they both stood up as the trio drew level with them, then slowly sat back down when they kept going past the desks to the stairs. Tony gave Ziva and Buffy a questioning glance, and Buffy gave him an answer with a grimace and a mouthed "Help me!"
Gibbs stormed up the stairs, both Ziva and Buffy easily keeping up with him, but reluctant to follow. He breezed past Cynthia's desk as she tried to stop him.
"Special Agent Gibbs! You can't…ugh," she said, standing up then sitting back down again once the door was open and Gibbs was already in the director's office. Buffy gave her an apologetic look as she followed Ziva in.
"Shut the door," Gibbs snapped at Buffy as she walked in.
"Well, that was a dramatic entrance," Jenny said, taking off her glasses and setting them down on her desk. "To what do I owe the pleasure…"
"Did you know about her?" Gibbs cut her off, pointing at Buffy as Buffy cringed.
"Know what?" Jenny asked, looking at Buffy questioningly.
"That she is some slayer?" Gibbs responded.
"You're the slayer?" Jenny gave Buffy an incredulous look, then something seemed to click. "Wait, are you THE Buffy Summers?"
"You know who I am?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, all the heads of agencies are aware of the slayer, especially after that disaster in Sunnydale a few years ago," Jenny answered. "I should have connected the dots."
"So, you knew about the slayer?" Gibbs asked.
"Yes, I did. It was on a need to know basis, and so far you hadn't needed to know. Why all of a sudden is this coming in the open now?" she asked, looking from Buffy to Ziva to Gibbs.
"Apparently the man we have in custody in the interrogation room is a demon, and he has gone and raised another demon to wreak havoc on Washington DC," Ziva answered for everyone.
"Oh no," Jenny said, standing up from behind her desk and looking from Buffy to Gibbs for confirmation.
"I've called a friend of mine in Cleveland who is going to come down and try to help with the situation, and we already have another slayer here right now, so that should help," Buffy said, looking around. "I'm hoping my watcher will come out too."
"I'll assign a couple of teams to help you too," Jenny said, reaching for her computer.
"No," Buffy said firmly. Jenny gave her a confused look. "I don't want to have all of NCIS know that I'm a slayer and that slayers are real. We're supposed to be a 'secret' organization."
"Do you really think we're going to stand on the side and watch you fight this thing?" Gibbs said.
"Gibbs…" Buffy started saying.
"No, Buffy, we could help you. At least just the team could," Ziva said, speaking up. She grinned. "I've always wanted to watch a slayer fight."
"At least let your own team help you Buffy," Jenny added.
Buffy sighed. "Alright, alright. But if any of you get killed, it's not my fault."
"Abby and Ducky should know too. They could help you," Jenny said.
"Ok, but that's all! No one else," Buffy said.
"Palmer," Ziva added.
"Ok, ok, that's it! No one else! Ugh, Giles is going to kill me," Buffy ended with a groan.
"Ziva, why don't you get Tony and McGee," Jenny said, nodding towards the door. "I'll call Ducky and Abby."
"Right away, director," she said, walking out the door. Once she arrived down at the bullpen, Tony and McGee surrounded her.
"What is going on? You guys have been talking for…" Tony said.
"Director wants to see you in her office," Ziva cut him off.
"Wait! What's going on?" Tony objected.
Ziva smiled and walked behind McGee and Tony, pushing them towards the stairs. "You'll see."
"What's with all this secret stuff? And how did you know that the watchers were British? McGeek did not mention that!" Tony objected, looking over his shoulder at Ziva.
"Keep walking Tony," Ziva prodded.
The team finally made it through the door as Buffy was snapping her phone shut again.
"Faith and my sister are getting here as quickly as they can," she announced.
"Ok, now can we know what is going on?" Tony asked, then he gave a weird look to Buffy. "And why are Faith and your sister coming?"
"Tony, McGee, I have a confession to make?" Buffy said.
"You're pregnant?" Tony asked.
"What? No!" Buffy exclaimed.
"Tony, how does that answer any of the questions that gave been going around?" Ziva snapped.
"It doesn't, but she said that in the tone of voice that most girls say when they're pregnant!" Tony stated.
"And I'm guessing that you have a lot of experience in that?" Ziva exclaimed.
"No! I've seen it…" Tony began, but Gibbs walked behind him and slapped both him and Ziva on the back of the head.
"Do you want to know what is going on or not, DiNozzo!"
"Yeah, boss, I was just…shutting up now," Tony said, reacting to the look on Buffy and Gibbs's face.
"This has something to do with the interrogation and the vampire slayer thing, huh?" McGee asked as Ducky, Palmer, and Abby walked through the door.
"We got here as quickly as we could," Abby said, looking around at the group. "What's up? And did I hear something about vampire slayers?" she asked.
"Ok, I'm going to say this really quickly, like ripping off a Band-Aid. You're all probably going to think I need to take up residence in the loony bin," Buffy said, look over at Tony, McGee, Abby, and Palmer, "but I'm a Vampire Slayer."
There was silence for a few seconds, then Abby squealed.
"No way!! Really?! That is so awesome! I knew they were real!"
"A vampire slayer? My dear, that is just a myth," Ducky said, looking at Buffy.
"You're joking, right?" Tony said, giving her an odd look. "I mean, I would expect this from someone enrolled in the geek squad, but you?"
Palmer just looked confused, and McGee kept opening and closing his mouth, not quite sure whether to be excited or afraid.
"Ok, let me prove it to you. Ziva, throw your knife at me," Buffy said, backing away to the other side of the room.
"What? That's insane," Palmer stated.
Ziva grinned, took out her knife and threw it before Tony could take it away from her as he lunged. The whole team watched with baited breath as the knife flew towards Buffy's heart, and a few gasps filled the room as she stopped the knife inches away from her body in between her palms, a smug look on her face.
"Extraordinary!" Ducky exclaimed, looking at Buffy with awe.
"Ok, wait wait wait a minute. So, you're telling me, that what the guy said in interrogation was the truth? Vampires are real?" Tony said, looking from Ziva to Buffy, waiting for someone to yell out April fools, even though it was June.
"Wait, what happened in interrogation?" Abby asked, looking around at the team.
"We learned that a demon has been raised to terrorize DC," McGee finally spoke up.
"Oh, that's not good," Abby said.
"No, that is why all of you are going to help Buffy catch this thing," Gibbs said, finally speaking up.
"Wait, fight a demon?" Tony asked. "How do you even fight a demon?"
"That is why you are helping Buffy, Tony," Jenny said.
Buffy sighed as she looked around at everyone. "Ok, Abby and McGee, you can help Dawn when she gets here, and Willow can help too once she arrives [Abby saluted and said, "Yes Ma'am.", Doctor Mallard and Palmer can help if anyone gets injured, Tony and Ziva can help me and Faith with patrolling I guess, and Director Shepherd and Gibbs can help Giles when he gets here." Gibbs opened his mouth to object when Buffy stopped him with her slayer glare. "I know you're my boss, Gibbs, but this is my territory now. What I says goes, because I don't want anyone dying."
The door then opened as Cynthia stuck her head in. "Director? There is a Dawn Summers and Faith Lehane here to see you."
"Let them in Cynthia," Jenny said.
The door then opened wider as Faith and Dawn walked in.
"You got here fast," Buffy said, smiling at them.
"We were in the area. Looks like you got your whole new gang here, B," Faith said as she glanced around at all the people. "Hey Tony," she added suddenly, sauntering over to stand by him.
"Hey," Tony said with a grin.
"This place is so awesome Buffy!" Dawn said as she came to stand next to her sister.
"Everyone, this is my sister Dawn," Buffy said, placing an arm around her sister's shoulders as she looked around at everyone. "Dawn, this is Doctor Mallard["Ducky, just Ducky," he said, Palmer, Abby, McGee, Tony, Ziva, my boss Gibbs, and Director Shepherd."
"Hey," everyone said almost in unison.
"And for everyone who doesn't know my sister slayer, this is Faith," Buffy said, nodding at the tall brunette.
"So, sercret's out that we're slayers?" Faith asked, looking at Buffy.
"Yeah, just to these people because they're going to help us. Dawn, you're going to work with Abby and McGee. Try to find anything about a ritual to raise a demon on June 24th," Dawn nodded and walked over to Abby who gave her a huge grin.
"Come on! I'll show you my lab!" she said excitedly, pulling Dawn out of the director's office, McGee tagging along behind.
As the door was closing, Buffy continued. "Faith, you, I, Tony, and Ziva are going to patrol to see if we can see any signs of this demon."
"Works for me," Faith said with a shrug, giving Tony a seductive grin as he grinned back at her. Ziva rolled her eyes.
"I'm working with you, Buffy," she said, and Buffy laughed.
