Disclaimer: I don't own anything NCIS, If I did, Jimmy Palmer would kick major ass.
No Whimp Here
The drive back to NCIS was made in still stunned silence on the parts of McGee, Ziva, and Tony. Gibbs kept his focus on the job at hand, they had a suspect to interrogate and and explanation from Palmer later.
Ten minutes later, they were pulling up to NCIS and getting Jenko into one of the interrogation rooms. Needless to say, the man cracked under Gibbs's hard gaze, confessing to shooting the petty officer because he'd been looking at his girl.
" Get him out of my sight!" Barked Gibbs as he headed back to the upstairs. After the brief elevator ride, the door opened and he game face to face with a pair of green eyes. Jimmy Palmer. He stood sanzHarry Potter glasses,in a tight black T-shirt that exposed a cat-like physic and well bulit arms the Hospital scrubs he usually wore were able to hid very well.
" Palmer." Said Gibbs aloofly as he stepped out of the elevator.
" Agent Gibbs." Said Jimmy, still no hint of the nervouse corner's assistant they were all used to. The two men stared at each other in silence, Jimmy looking Gibbs straight in the eyes.
" You have some explaining to do." Said Gibbs, secretly surprised the kid had a backbone.
" I'm athree time Kendo Champion, it was my day off and you just happened to pay the gym I work out at a visit." Said Jimmy with a small shrug.
" You put yourself in danger Palmer and though you took down a fleeing suspect, you aren't a feild agent. Anything could have happened." Said Gibbs sternly.
" Sorry sir, it won't happen again." Said Jimmy with a small bow of his head.
" By the way, that's a mean punch you got there." Said Gibbs, a tiny copliment.
" Thank you sir." Said witha small smile, his green eyes conveying quite strength and somthing else Gibbs couldn't quiet place yet.
Gibbs was about to ask Palmer somthing when Tony, Ziva, and McGee rounded the corner. Instantly, the three unleashed a barage of questions.
" Hey Palmer, since when do you know Kung Fu?" Asked Tony.
" It's not kung fu, it is Kendo, and when were you going to spill the beads?" Asked Ziva.
" I think you mean beans, Ziva." Corrected McGee.
In reply, all Jimmy did was give them a mysterious little smile before nodding to Gibbs and walking past them to the waiting elevator. Before the doors closed he spoke.
" I might tell you guys later, right now, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of my day off. See you tomorrow." Said Jimmy before the elevator doors slid shut.
The three NCIS agents turned to their and eyed the tiny smile that graced Gibbs's lips. The Senior agent turned to his agents, zeroing in on Tony.
" Still think he's a whimp Dinozzo?"
