Part II

Gibbs stepped out onto the bar where Ducky was sitting. It was their 'boys night,' grant it, it was only Ducky and himself most nights and Fornell would join in occasionally when there was no case or Emily.

Ducky was already nursing his signature scotch as he approached sitting on the stool immediately to his friend's right knowing that it was reserved for him. "Bourbon," he said to the bartender who quickly nodded taking out a glass and making his drink.

"Jethro, you are late," Ducky said nodding at this oldest friend.

"I know, Duck. I just got help up," Gibbs said as an excuse.

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve, say "she's gonna be good for you."

Ducky observed his friend for a moment before nodding his head and taking a sip of his drink. "It's good Jethro, the Colonel, she's good for you."

Gibbs nodded his head. He didn't have to tell Ducky, he was a great profiler for the dead, why not the living also? Gibbs half expected Ducky to be on his case about it though. After all, the only other person that Ducky would stick his neck out for was Jenny.

His other woman.

"So tell me, Jethro, why hide it?" Ducky asked his friend. There was no reason for Gibbs to be hiding a relationship like that. It didn't conflict with work since the Colonel barely worked for them nor did it conflict with his personal life, he was single, after all.

"You know I don't broadcast things like that," Gibbs answered knowing already that the gears have started turning in Ducky's head ending up with only one conclusion as to why he would intentionally hide his relationship with the Colonel. A conclusion with nothing to do with the fact that he was trying to turn his life around since the explosion. His little "margarita safari" where his old boss had told him to cut loose ends and move on.

As a Marine, he always followed the orders given without question.

This was no different.

They throw me high fives.

"While that is true, Jethro. I also know that there is a redhead that would be more than affected with your new relationship," Ducky said.

Gibbs didn't have to ask who that certain "red head" was. He already knew.

"I don't think she would care," Gibbs frankly.

It was true, at least he thought so. His rule of 'always double check' never had really applied when it came to dealing with Jennifer Shepard. This time was no different.

Ducky looked at him once again finish his drink with one gulp.

"Nevertheless, it's a good thing, Jethro."

"I know, Duck," Gibbs stated looking at the door that chimed when someone had gone inside.

A familiar redhead walked in the door a smile on her face. Her eyes met theirs and Gibbs couldn't do anything but nod his head in acknowledgement.

"Hey, am I late?" Jenny asked with a smile on her face. She jumped onto the seat on the other side of Ducky ordering a girly drink that Gibbs didn't know her to drink.

"Trying to have your own margarita safari, Jen?" Gibbs asked with a smirk.

"Simply enjoying the night," Jenny said thanking the bartender who sat her drink in front of her in a flash.

Ducky looked from one friend to another.

He couldn't help but admit that even if the Colonel was good for Jethro, Jenny was still Jenny and he strongly doubted that anyone could ever take her place.
