OCT 07 2008
9 AM
Kate had brought her wife of 4 years a cupcake for a special night out together. Abby came into the bull pen smiling. "Thank you." Abby said.
"You're Welcome." Kate said smiling.
Abby ran off to her lab leaving a baffled Tony looking at Kate. "What Tony?" Kate asked.
"What did you and Abby do last night that warranted you to bring her a cupcake this morning?" Tony asked.
"Same thing you did last night Dinozzo." Gibbs said coming in from the MTAC.
"But my significant didn't bring me a cupcake." Tony said sulking.
"We got a case. Female Lt Commander found in a park." Gibbs said.
"Samantha ain't here yet." Tim said.
"She called my cell Gracie caught a nasty cold and Samantha is keeping her at home today. She'll be on call if we need her." Gibbs said.
"Poor baby." Kate said.
"Yeah definitely go check on my girl when this case is over with." Tony said stepping into the elevator.
3: PM
SAMANTHA'S APARTMENT
Sam was sitting on her couch reading a lesson plan Sandy wanted her to go for the upcoming Wednesday night. Gracie had taken her cold medicine and was sleeping away on the couch next to Sam. Sam's cell phone rang just then she grabbed it and answered it quickly. "Hello?" She said.
"Hey Sammie." Tony said.
"Hey Dad. What's going on?" Samantha asked.
"Nothing much just calling to check on my grand baby. Jet told me she caught a cold?" Tony said.
"She did. She just took some cold medicine and is sleeping right now. But I'm sure when she wakes up she'd love to talk to you." Samantha said.
"Good. Well we caught us a humdinger of a case. Wish you were here." Tony said slightly out of sorts.
"Dad what's going on?" Samantha asked.
"At the murder scene Gibbs got a call. After the call he just up and left without saying a word. Now he's in with the director." Tony said.
"Maybe he's undercover." Samantha said.
"And he didn't tell me his significant other? Come on Sammie that's far fetched." Tony said.
"Dad you forget you 2 have to keep your dating status on the back burner at work now due to Vance being the Director." Samantha said.
"You're right. Gosh I just wanna know what's going on." Tony said.
"I'm sure you will. Listen I need to go before I wake Gracie. I'll have her call you as soon as she wakes up and is alert enough." Samantha said.
"Sammie I love you." Tony said quietly.
"I love you too. Everything will be alright." Samantha said.
4:PM
Samantha was in the middle of giving Gracie some snacks when her cell phone rang. "You would think I was at work or something." Samantha said to Gracie.
"You are mommy. You're being my mommy." Gracie said coughing.
Samantha smiled picking her phone up. "Hello?" Samantha answered.
"Someone stole my cupcake and I can't figure out who did it." Abby said hurriedly.
"Excuse me?" Samantha asked confused.
"Kate gave me a cupcake this morning and I brought it and put it in the refrigerator. When I came back after lunch it was gone!" Abby said.
"Maybe you ate it and don't remember." Samantha said setting a plate of apple in front of Gracie.
"No I would've known it if I did." Abby said.
"Abby you have a case to work on. This needs to take a back seat." Samantha said.
"But I wanted that cupcake." Abby whined.
Samantha rolled her eyes at Gracie who giggled. "Abby if you want a cupcake I'll run to the store and buy you another one. This is ridiculous." Samantha said.
"No. No you're right. I just needed someone to talk me down." Abby said.
"Good. I am gonna go and take care of my daughter." Samantha said.
"Ok. Hug her from me please." Abby said.
"Ok. Bye." Samantha said hanging up.
"Was that Aunty Abby?" Gracie asked.
"It sure was. And she was acting crazy. Come on let's go watch some tv." Samantha said following her daughter into the living room.
9: PM
Samantha was sitting on the couch reading a book when a knock came on the door. Getting up she opened the door to see Gibbs standing there. "I know it's late but I need to talk." Gibbs said.
Samantha stepped back and he walked in. "I'm guessing dad don't know you're here?" She asked.
"Umm no." Gibbs said
"Ok. So what's the problem. I take it has to do with the case?" Samantha asked sitting down in the arm chair.
"It does. A lt Commander was found in the park. When we got to the crime Scene I got a call from an old friend. He more or less admitted he had slept with the victim." Gibbs said.
"I take it he's a powerful friend?" Samantha asked.
"He is. He told me all about this then he asks that I keep his name out of the investigation." Gibbs said.
'Which means you can't tell McGee Dad or Kate. So I'm guessing there's more." Samantha said urging him to continue.
"His wife came to the house tonight. I was working on the boat and she came into the basement basically told me her husband would not do something like that. Then tried to kiss me. Samantha what do I do." Gibbs asked.
"You work the case like the leader you are. I'll be back tomorrow and I'll help as much as I can. But Gibbs you need to tell Dad about the kiss. Dad can handle anything but not being told something he won't stand for it." Samantha said.
Gibbs sighed. "I know. Shannon was the same way." Gibbs said.
Gracie came down the hall and seen Gibbs. "Poppy!" She said going to him.
"Hey how are you feeling?" Gibbs asked.
"Little better. Is grampy with you?" Gracie asked.
"No he's not." Gibbs said holding her to him.
"Hey Gracie why don't you run get mommies cell phone off my bed and call Grampy and tell him Poppy is here. And that you and him are gonna have a slumber party here. Ok?" Samantha asked.
"Okay Mommy." Gracie said running back down the hall happy to have her poppy stay with her.
"Thank you." Gibbs said grateful.
"Sure. Gracie's bed sleeps wonderfully." Samantha said.
OCT 8TH 2008
2: PM
NCIS BULL PENN
Samantha was at her desk working on different suspects who would wanna hurt the Lt Commander when Gibbs came through and looked at her. "Another body?" She asked.
"Yeah only this time it's his Chief of Staff." Gibbs said.
"Wait the weird looking guy from yesterday?" Tony asked.
"Yeah he was found about 2 hours ago." Gibbs said grabbing his gun.
CRIME SCENE
Gibbs and company arrived to find Ducky examining the body. "Jethro it looks to me like an apparent suicide." Ducky said.
Samantha was looking at the desk when she found a letter. "Gibbs!" She called. He came over.
"I have a feeling the chief of Staff was looking to be me than just employer employee." Tony said reading over Samantha shoulder.
Just then Patrick Kiley came in. "Senator Kiley we're gonna have to ask you to step out into the hall." Kate said.
"Is it true?" The senator asked.
Gibbs ushered him out the door. "What do you know about your chief of Staff?" Gibbs asked.
"He's a good guy why?" The senator asked.
"Was the Lt Commander the only person you were cheating on your wife with Patrick?" Gibbs asked bluntly.
"No. Did he kill himself because of me?" Patrick asked.
Gibbs just stared at him as he walked back into the room where the body was. "How authentic is that note Samantha?" Gibbs asked.
"It looks to be the real deal. But Abby would have to run a hand writing Analysis on it to be sure." Samantha said.
"Have her rush it." Gibbs said.
4: PM
The case was nearly solved when Vance told Gibbs to accompany him to Senator Kiley's press conference. "Only if one of my agents follows along." Gibbs said.
"Fine. Your choice who comes along." Vance said.
Gibbs was down in the bull pen and he made the announcement. "Me and Director Vance are going to Senator Kiley's Press conference. One Agent can accompany me." Gibbs said expecting the usual competing between Tony McGee and Kate. Gibbs just shook his head and walked over to Samantha and nodded. She stood and grabbed her badge and gun and followed him to the elevator.
"Wait he had that all planned didn't he?" Tim asked.
"I believe so." Tony said a little concerned about his lover.
4:30 PM
SENATOR KILEY'S HOUSE
Director Vance was speaking with Patrick when Gibbs and Samantha came in. "Glad you could be here Jethro." Patrick said.
"You shouldn't be. I'm here to arrest you for the murder of the Lt Commander." Gibbs said.
"Let's go into my office. Lynn." Patrick beckoned for his wife.
They all stepped into the office where Patrick started confessing. "I believe you had something to do with it. But I think someone else committed the crime." Gibbs said turning to the wife.
"You said that she was shot in the back. How did you know that when no one else except my team knew it." Gibbs said.
"Ok so I shot her. But I didn't mean for it to kill her. I just wanted to scare her." Lynn Kiley said.
"And so since Lynn shot her you decided you needed to cover it up. So much so you had Cole Erickson your dutiful Chief of Staff hide all the evidence." Gibbs said.
"But what you two didn't think about was the guilt he felt. You knew he would do his duties but at what cost? He killed himself so no you can't be charged with his murder but you have to live with that on your conscience." Samantha said.
"Your both under arrest." Gibbs said handcuffing them.
7: PM
NCIS
Tim Tony and Kate were watching the Senator and his wife walking the walk of shame in front of the reporters with Vance Gibbs and Samantha all around em. "I wonder what happened?" Tim asked.
"Politics. It's murder sometimes McGee." Samantha said from her desk signing her name on her report and gathering her stuff.
"Where you going?" Tony asked.
"To relieve Stacy I didn't wanna put Gracie in daycare today so Stacy offered to come watch her so I could work. Bye guys." Samantha said getting on the elevator.
"Wonder if Gibbs asked her to come in." Kate said.
"More than likely yes." Tony said smirking.
10: PM
DINOZZO/GIBBS HOUSE
Tony and Gibbs were laying in bed silently. "Last night me and Gracie didn't just have a slumber party. I needed to talk to Samantha." Gibbs said.
"I figured as much. What happened?" Tony asked.
"The senator is a good friend of mine. He asked that I keep his name out of the murder investigation." Gibbs said.
"That was who called you?" Tony asked rolling onto his side.
"Yeah. I lost focus on stuff. I was trying so hard not to show you guys that I wanted him to be innocent. But yet I was failing at doing my job." Gibbs said.
"You hid it so well." Tony said smiling.
"Tony." Gibbs said exasperated .
"Sorry continue." Tony said wiping the grin off his face.
"Lynn Kiley the senator's wife came last night. Before you got back from your run. She told me her husband was not a murderer. Then before she left tried to kiss me." Gibbs said.
"Wow. Please tell me you sent her home." Tony said.
"I did. But it scared me enough to run to Samantha for a good butt kicking." Gibbs said.
"But you didn't get one." Tony said smirking.
"No. She just basically reminded me that I was team leader and that I needed to lead the team like I normally do." Gibbs said.
"I'm guessing that wasn't all she said." Tony said rubbing his hand down Jethro's arm.
"No. She told me I needed to tell you about the almost kiss. That you could handle anything but not knowing something." Gibbs said.
"She's right. Thank you for telling me. I know it's not easy for you to share stuff. But this is what relationships even marriages are about." Tony said running his finger over the gold band on Gibbs' right ring finger.
"I too went to Sammie with concerns. Only I was at work on the phone. So I guess she talked us both down. I got a good daughter." Tony said.
"You do. But her dad ain't so bad either." Gibbs said rolling onto his side facing Tony and kissing him.
"What do you say we re enact our wedding night?" Tony asked. Gibbs kissed him fiercely.
"I take as a yes." Tony said laughing.
