Chapter 5

"This is unacceptable Miss Shepard"

"No, what is unacceptable Mr Vance" both ignoring supposed job titles "is you waltzing in here taking my job"

Security made themselves known by the door, all of them tall, with broad shoulders, dressed in their normal suits, all looking rather vicious, but they didn't deter Jenny or the team at all, in fact it just made her more determined.

"Excuse me ma'am, would you like to follow us" one of them suggested sternly.

"No I would not like to follow you" Jenny didn't know where this new found confidence came from.

"Jenny, I think you'd like to follow them" Sec-Nav naturally stated from the door way "until this little, mishap is cleared up" chewing on a cigar.

As security approved Jenny, Abby stood in their path along with Ziva and the others.

"Gibbs, tell your dogs to back off" Sec-Nav again calmly stated as he examined the remaining part of his cigar.

Gibbs just gave him the look and took the couple of strides towards his redhead; an action that clearly depicted his defiance and loyalty all in one.

"It is one thing to jump into a warm chair but another to rip apart a vital team to NCIS. Did he even run this passed you?" Jenny demanded.

"That is of no concern to you Jenny" Sec-Nav's responses better get more impressive or he is going to get really friendly with a certain marines fist.

"They're my friends, my family; they concern me. I want reassurance that this is not going ahead and I will leave, I will not cause any scenes; just leave this team alone" Jenny almost begged.

"No scenes? Too late; look around you. You've just come back from the dead, or had you forgotten?" Vance sneered and put his two cents in.

Gibbs' fist clenched, he took a deep breath before marching over to where Vance sat in his chair behind the heavy desk, "Feeling vulnerable Leon?" he asked, his face so close the other man's he could have spat in it but decided against it.

Vance didn't like this one bit so stood up from his chair to try and show Gibbs who was boss, "She's not the boss anymore Gibbs, I am, I can fire you" he reminded the marine.

"That can easily be changed" Gibbs challenged him, Jenny could easily take the director chair back.

"I don't want to be director again" Jenny said making Sec-Nav and Vance look at her, both confused as to why she was causing so much fuss, if she didn't want to be director, then what did she want, "I want assurance that Gibbs' team will not be split up" she reminded them of what she had already told them.

Sec-Nav thought for a moment at what he could do, he liked Jenny, she'd been one of the best directors NCIS had ever had, she'd known how to shake the money tree on the hill, work with sister agencies, keep Gibbs relatively under control and also how to run dirty ops like that back of her hand. Vance had always been a second best to her, he wasn't as good as she was and he couldn't control Gibbs even though he liked to think otherwise, he knew Vance would need Jenny's help and experience when things got tuff, so he thought of a deal.

"Okay" Sec-Nav nodded as he walked around the cramped office "I'll make you a deal Jenny if you are interested"

Jenny eyed her old boss a little sceptically for a moment before crossing her arms over her chest "I'm listening" she told him.

"I will assure that Gibbs and his team are never split up…" he began, already he knew he had Jenny's attention as well as Gibbs' and his team's but also Vance's "As long as you come in when I feel that Vance is in over his head…" the current director cut him off.

"Excuse me sir, I don't…" Vance began but Sec-Nav then stopped him from saying something he might regret.

"Shut up if you still want to keep your job" he threatened before turning back to the redhead "And you'll also have to be acting director when Vance is on trips and also when the teams get hard cases and I think they could use your expertise" he finally finished.

Jenny didn't want to be director, to focus on work when she had other aspects of her life that she needed to focus on, one being Jethro and their relationship, something she'd never put before work before, but she also didn't want to see Gibbs' team, her family, the people she loved being split up, "Okay" she nodded "I'll do it".

"Good" Sec-Nav gave her a small smile, he'd always liked her and was slightly glad she was back, well sort of back anyway. "I'll have a contract drawn up and sent for you to sign" he told her and turned to leave before stopping "Where are you living?" he asked her.

Jenny was taken a little back, to be honest she wasn't sure, I mean yes she'd been staying with Gibbs but she actually had been living the past couple weeks at the facility, of course she would have to go back there soon for an update on her meds but she didn't have to stay there.

"She's living with me" Gibbs spoke bringing Jenny from her thoughts, she looked at him, her green eyes meeting his blue, she smiled at him, this was his way of telling her that she would be staying with him and that he wouldn't be taking no for an answer.

Sec-Nav looked between Jenny and Gibbs, he'd known for years that there was something between them, that the reason Jenny could keep such control over Gibbs was because they had a past, a past that caused them to have a soft spot for one another, although he was never sure if in the past they'd had a past lovers and been in a romantic relationship but he was sure now that something that was going on now, "Keep it out of the office" he told them before walking out.

"Your just going to let them get away with…" Vance began to yell after Sec-Nav but he ignored him and continued to walk. Vance turned back to the people in his office "Fine" he told them "You can all stay but you leave my office now" he told them.

Abby, Ducky, Tim, Ziva and Tony left first, Jenny and Gibbs stayed behind for a moment, nothing was said, Gibbs just eyed Vance for a moment, he'd never liked him but now he liked him even less, "Come on" Jenny mumbled to Gibbs, tugging his arm gently before leading him to the door, the one Gibbs had always slammed open when he wanted to see her, "I'll see you later Leon" Jenny gave the man a sickly sweet smile before walking out of the office, pushing Gibbs out as she did so.

As they walked across the catwalk Jenny began to feel tired so decided to take a moment to leaning against the rails and look down to the bullpen, Gibbs turned and stopped beside her also leaning against the railing. Jenny smiled upon seeing her favourite team down in the bullpen Tony sat at his desk, Ziva sat on the edge of Tony's desk as they tried to subtly flirt with one another, meanwhile Abby stood in the middle of all the desks with a caf-pow in her hand as she walked back and forth animatedly talking and Tim looked at her with a dreamy lost look in his eyes, Ducky sat on the edge of Ziva's desk listening intently to whatever Abby was saying, a smile on his face.

"It hasn't been the same without you" Gibbs said as he nudged Jenny's shoulder lightly with his own.

Jenny turned to him and smiled "I've missed you all" she admitted, leaning her head slightly on his shoulder, Gibbs leant down and kissed her forehead, which he noted was a little warm than normal.

"You okay Jen?" he asked her, his voice and eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine" Jenny told him, although she didn't look fine, her skin had gone a little grey, she felt cold and hot at the same time and extremely tired so much her bones ached, but she didn't want to worry him.

Gibbs eyed her for a moment, he could tell that there was something that she wasn't telling him but decided to brush it off and give her a quick kiss on the lips, before they decided to go down to the bullpen to join the team.

She walked in front of him, knowing full well that Gibbs was watching her every move and he wasn't even sorry when she turned around to find him staring at her ass, it just made her realise that they were still as attracted to each other as they had always been.

Jenny gave Gibbs a weak smile as she began to feel dizzy, "Jethro" she mumbled, reaching out for him before everything went back, the team all watched in slow motion as Jenny began to fall to the floor, but Gibbs grabbed her waist and stopped her from hitting the floor hard.

"Jen" he said caressing her cheek, brushing her red locks out of her face "He felt her pulse and found it was weaker than he would have liked "Someone call 911" he yelled to the people around him.

"They're on their way" Ziva told Gibbs, keeping her feelings of worry and concern behind her mask of the Israeli ninja chick.

Gibbs took a deep breath before scooping Jenny up into his arms, his knees protesting of her dead weight in his arms as he began to walk to the elevator, he hit the button for the lobby, where he could meet the paramedics, "Come on Jen, you have to stay with me" he whispered to her so none of the team who had followed him into the metal box "I'm not going to lose you again" he said pressing a kiss to Jenny's forehead.
