A/N: Thank you so much for all the reviews! Just going to clear this up because I was asked this more than once, "Rule 10" is "Never get personally involved in a case" :)
I am not yet finished with my exams, and I was going to update this at the end of them, but I thought this shorter chapter was needed to kind of introduce the character of Becca's father, it's very short, but quite significant :)
Enjoy this chapter, albeit short ^_^

Gibbs opened the door to interrogation, sat down and stared hard at man sitting across from him. He was wearing an expensive suit and under the suit he hid a great, well toned body, but his tense body language took something away from his classy attire. His face, though handsome, seemed made of stone, as wrinkles were permanently edged onto his forehead, that frown that always seems to be there. His hair were short, pitch black, a small layer of gel holding them upright in a careful do. His eyes, beautiful, were the same as his daughter's, except for one, essential detail: Rebecca's eyes were innocent, pure, while his were empty, lacking life, lacking that glint in the eyes that showed emotions. Arrogance oozed from him so much you could sense the tone of the room changing, but Gibbs, he saw it coming miles away.
"Where is my daughter?" he commanded. "I want to see her!"
It was obvious that he was used to manipulating people, to use harsh commands for his will do be done, but Gibbs didn't flinch.
"She doesn't want to see you" he replied just as harshly.
A dry laugh registered in Gibbs ears.
"She's 4 years old, she doesn't know what she's talking about."
Gibbs ignored his comment, trying not to kill him right then and there.
"So, Jack Paul Leavitt... Where have you been? You are in trouble, we have a dead marine in your living room, and you left your almost 5 year old daughter alone to find him." growled Gibbs.
"I have been..." he thought "out."
"Out?" asked Gibbs. "Out where, dammit?"
He took a big breath, an exaggerated one. "Out for work." he said, very matter of factly, as if it were the most obvious thing he could have been doing.
"Right" said Gibbs, "except that we checked with all your co-workers, and none of them saw you at the office. We even spoke with your boss, that told us you haven't checked in in about a week."
"Whatever" said Leavitt, trying to act indifferent when he obviously was getting a little nervous. He was not used to people making him feel uncomfortable, he was used to being the alpha male, in the centre of the room.
Gibbs rolled his eyes in annoyance, and walked out, slamming the door behind him. He stopped and inhaled, then exhaled. He would keep him overnight, for child endangerment charges, and he would crack him in the morning. Feeling a little more hopeful, he walked to Abby's lab to talk to the rest of his team.
A/N I know, it's only half the lenght of my usual chapters, but I wanted to make him the focus of the chapter instead of splitting it in two! Plus, little spoiler, the next chapter will be very cute and I didn't want to ruin it with the hatred I have for a character I created...
Don't you just hate Becca's dad?
Anyway, let me know what you think :)
