Jarod's current Pretend had him as an NCIS officer from San Diego whose transfer papers were lost in a backlog of information. by the time Gibbs' team realized he wasn't who he said he was, the case would be solved and he would be gone.
Right now he was sitting in the lab with Abby, debating about the best way to hack into classified government files.
Abby leaned back in her chair, then turned to look at him. "No way! How'd you know that would work?"
"Lucky guess." He shrugged.
Abby grinned. "You're cool, J." She handed him the cup she'd been drinking from. "Try some of this."
"What is it?"
"Caff-Pow."
Later that night, he would regret trying the drink. Caff-Pow did not help his insomnia one bit.
