Dear Abs,
It's your friendly neighbourhood agent afloat here! Just checking in so you know I haven't fallen overboard yet, though I almost did the other day in the pouring rain and strong wind. Sometimes I like to go and wander outside because it gets me away from the crowded corridors and gives me time away from others. I know you're supposed to make lifelong friends in the Navy but I don't think that applies to a civilian agent afloat. Seriously though, this whole 'close knit' mentality makes it hard to do my job because they protect and cover for each other- screw getting any confessions! Sure, some incidents are easy to deal with such as a sailor failing a drugs test, but pretty much everything else requires wading through lies and variations of the truth (guess I haven't developed Gibbs' gut sense yet). I wish I was back with you guys where things are clearer about who to charge and where you get some satisfaction-all I seem to do is split up friends. I hope Ziva is doing ok – I'm sure you have given her a welcome back hug! I'd give anything for an Abby hug or a Gibbs head slap at the moment. I hope he figures out a way to get me back soon.
Love you Abs and say hi to the gang for me – even Palmer!
