Gibbs drove in his usual style to NCIS. Once they pulled up, Jenny felt extremely nervous. She had only been 'dead' a few days but the impression was that she was in fact that. How would people react? What would people say? Would she be welcomed? She was pulled from her thoughts and away from these questions when Gibbs put a hand on her thigh.

"You don't have to do this" he reassured.

"No, I have to" Gibbs interrupted

"We have to" Jenny smiled

"Sorry, we have to do this, for Abby, McGee, Ziva and Tony and of course Ducky" she tried to sound confident, but Gibbs knew that deep down she felt everything but.

Gibbs got out of the car and walked round to open her door. He helped her out. She felt weak.

As they walked through the doors of NCIS all the security guards heads turned, they were too stunned to stop her from just walking straight in. Gibbs followed.

Once they were in the elevator Gibbs saw the worry on her face and stopped the lift. "We can turn back now" he felt as if he was pushing her into doing something that she didn't want to do.

"No, we can't, the news of my arrival is probably already circulating around the office. We should just go"

"Okay, but only if you are sure" Gibbs stated as he flipped the switch and the lift moved once again.

The elevator dinged and sounded the arrival of the supposed dead director at Gibbs' squad room floor.

The news of her arrival had indeed spread at least to this floor; everyone had their eyes fixated on the elevator door.

Jenny ignored them and with her head held high walked straight towards the stairs up to the director's office. However Jenny didn't walk up the stairs but headed for the elevator. Gibbs, who was following her, noticed this and felt concerned. Was she just putting on a front? Was she sicker that she had let on?

Gibbs stepped in as the door closed. No one dared go into that elevator with that woman and special agent.

The short ride was spent in silence.

Jenny took a deep breath and stepped out of the elevator. Before she could move any further Gibbs grasped her arm. "I just want you to remember I'm here for you and will always love you no matter what"

Jenny turned to face him and saw the love in his sky blue eyes, she didn't respond in words but in an action. Jenny reached up, resting her hand on his cheek before giving him a slow but loving kiss. She didn't care who saw, she had spent too long waiting for this man and her he was, she wasn't going to let him go.

The need for air soon came apparent; they had to part. He took one of her small hands in his and then they stepped off of the elevator together, like they should have done all along.

When Jenny looked down on her former kingdom she pondered where Gibbs' team were. Gibbs wondered the same thing.

This was it. They had reached the director door. Was he in for a big surprise or what? There was no secretary; so this would be an unannounced entry.

Jenny went and placed her hand on the door handle. She took a deep breath and when to open the door.

She was stopped.

Gibbs had placed his hand on hers. They could hear voices from inside the room.

"You cannot do this!" Ziva exclaimed.

"I can and I will Officer David" Vance's slimy, callous voice reached the two eavesdroppers ears.

"Not with these justifications" Tony argued. Tim was staying quiet; he figured it was for the best.

"Officer David, your father has requested you return to him and Mossad, your liaison position on the MCRT has been terminated. Agent DiNozzo you will go and serve as agent afloat on the USS Ronald Regan. And Agent McGee your skills are needed elsewhere. I have already been through this." Vance repeated for the second time.

"Jenny would never have aloud this" Ziva replied.

"Director Shepard is dead" Vance reported. Little did he know; she was stood on the other side of the door.

Gibbs couldn't take this slander anymore and forcefully opened the door. Jenny was stood behind him.

"Ah Gibbs just the person I needed to…" Vance didn't get to finish his sentence. He was too shocked.

Jenny stepped out from behind Gibbs and made her presence known.

The whole team stood in stunned silence.

Vance finally found his weedy voice, he cleared his throat first "Director…" he corrected himself "Miss Shepard"

Ziva was the next the recover; she almost ran up to Jenny and hugged the life right out of her; she could had rivalled Abby's infamous death grip hugs.

Jenny ignored Vance's attempt to be civil by ignoring him completely. She returned Ziva's hug. By this time the rest of the occupants of the room had recovered from their shock.

Vance slowly recoiled and went and sat at his desk.

Ducky, Jimmy and Abby came streaming in through the open door. Word had probably reached them of Jenny's return.

Abby launched herself at Jenny. It was like a family reunion; even if they had only been separated for a short amount of time.

Vance sat on and watched, when an idea hit him; she was dead, even if she was standing in front of him, her status was gone; she was trespassing. There was no point calling security; the MCRT would stop them, he had to go higher up, he would have to contact Sec-Nav.
