Chapter 9

About 15 minutes later I heard a knock at the door and I got up. I looked through the3 peep hole and it was Abby. I opened the door and Abby was standing there wit two Caf-Pows! in her hands, and a small bag at her feet.

"Hey Abby."

"Hey Sophia whatcha want?", I let her in and she handed me one of her Caf-Pows!, "I've never drank one of these before you know?"

"That's okay, it's really good go ahead and take a drink," we did a cheers type motion with our Caf-Pows! and took a drink. It actually wasn't that bad at all.

"This is really good Abby!!!"

"See I told you so," she widely grinned at me and we laughed.

"The reason I called you here is because… well first lets sit down," I sat her down on the bed and sighed a little, "okay I am going to come right out and say it. My aunt Jen is alive and in a hotel room a floor below us. Don't breathe a word of this to Ziva, Ducky, McGee, or anyone. Even Gibbs. I know that's a lot to ask but please. Everything will fan out like it should in due time if you keep quiet please," Abby started to freak and her breathing hitched A LOT.

Ten minutes later she calmed down and I gave her the rest of my Caf-Pow!, "Abby do you need a hug?"

She laughed a little and spoke, "Yeah and I am actually the one to usually say that to people."

"Still, do you need a hug?"

"Yeah definitely," I gave her a hug and she squeezed very tightly against me and the hug turned from a normal hug to a bone-crushing hug.

"Abs can't breathe!!!!" I managed to choke out. She released me from the hug and we laughed a bit.

"Soooo when can we see Jenny!?!"

"Ummm well I left her with my little foster sister Jessi and so ummm well Jessi fell asleep and then Jessi sleep-walked over to Aunt Jen's bed and Aunt Jen fell asleep next to Jessi while I was on the phone with Gibbs about a half an hour ago. Aunt Jen might be awake I don't know, but lets go anyways."

"Alright," she followed me out the door and once we got to Aunt Jen's hotel room door I knocked on it and she opened it quietly. A big grin spread across both Aunt Jen and Abby's faces once they saw each other.

Aunt Jen whispered, "Jessi is still asleep so be quiet. Sophia you are not very funny for leaving us down here like that. I woke up and blood red colored hair was in my face and I realized that it was Jessi and it took me a while to untangle myself from her; she held tight onto me. I sort of laughed but anyway…"

"Jenny!!!" Abby softly squealed. She embraced Jen in a very tight hug. About 30 seconds later I heard Aunt Jen say something along the lines of 'Abby can't breathe', and Abby let her go.

"Jen if Jessi wasn't her right now I would be screaming at the top of my lungs."

"I know Abby. Sophia did tell you not to tell anyone that I am alive right?"

"Yeah she did don't worry."

"Good," Aunt Jen replied.

"Soooo Aunt Jen…" I was interrupted by Jessi stirring a little on the bed, and her eyes fluttered open. Her gaze shifted from Abby, Aunt Jen, and I to just Abby.

"ABBY!!!!" Jessi shot off the bed and ran to Abby.

"Hey Jessi."

"I took you advice Abby. Tony was being an idiot and insulted Ziva and I so I told him that you taught me how to kill people and leave no forensic evidence behind. And guess what he did when I told him that?"

"What!?!"

"His eyes grew real wide and he bolted back to chair and started typing on the computer not looking at Ziva or me!!!" with that we all started laughing.

Once we stopped I finished my unfinished sentence that by now is probably long-forgotten, but whatever, "Soooo Aunt Jen when do you think that you will… how do I put this? 'Come back from the dead?'"

"Cute Sophia. I don't know. Soon hopefully."

"How about tomorrow?" I asked and her eyes went wide.

"Umm sure why not."

"Really I didn't think that you would give in that easily. I thought I would have to bribe you or beg and plead?"

"Sophia let me tell you something. When you pretend to be dead because someone was after you or someone you cared for and it was either you survived and this said person would've been dead if you didn't intervene then you would choose to die yourself and have the other person live. So since I faked my death thanks to your Aunt Sam I got another chance to live and the person that wanted said person and I dead is dead themselves. But the thing is that I have to stay in hiding for the rest of my life. I don't have to anymore like I just said since the person that wanted said person and I dead is dead." Aunt Jen explained sitting down on the bed.

"Ah I see. Well okay!!!" I replied.

"Wait so what's going on?" Jessi asked. She looked very, very, very, confused. We laughed a little and I simply replied.

"Jessi we are all going to NCIS tomorrow and you going to be with Abby, and Aunt Jen and I have to handle something somewhere else. So you okay with that," the nod of her head was her only reply.

I spoke again, "this is going to be interesting."
