"It is. I brought my sister here." Tim said.

"How is she doing by the way?" Samantha asked.

"Fine. She's back at school. Her and the cheerleader are good friends. She might come for thanksgiving. Maybe you can come and see her again." Tim said.

"Sounds good." Samantha said.

"You know I am glad we were able to do this. I was kinda disappointed that we had to be on that case last week." Tim said.

"Me too. But crime don't stop just cause we want to go on a date." Samantha said.

"You're right. So how did you escape the 4 musketeers questions?" Tim asked.

Samantha laughed. "I told em I was going out with friends. Wasn't a lie we're friends." Samantha said.

"Sure are. Good friends." Tim said smiling.

Once dinner was over Tim and Samantha went to his car and got in. "I had fun tonight." Samantha said.

"Me too. So can we do it again?" Tim asked.

"Sure can. Do you honestly think I am in this for a one night stand. Well you know what I mean." Samantha said smirking.

"Yeah. So church tomorrow huh?" Tim asked.

"Yeah. Wanna come?" Samantha asked,.

"Yes I do." Tim said linking his fingers with hers. Samantha felt happy for once.

TUES NOVEMBER 11TH 2008 10: AM

NCIS BULL PEN

Samantha was watching a Rookie hit on her dad ruthlessly she was wondering when Gibbs was gonna put this girl in her place. Kate and Tim came over to Samantha's desk. "I feel sorry for the girl when Gibbs gets here." Kate said.

"Tony could put an end to it. He just won't deep down his ladies man persona takes hold." Tim said.

"Yeah well we all know what Tony was called in College." Kate said.

"No Agent Todd why don't you enlighten us." Gibbs said leaning on the partition on Sam's right.

"Uh. A straight A student." Kate said.

Gibbs saw Tony ignoring the babbling Rookie. He went to stalk over there but Samantha grabbed his hand. "Let me." Samantha said. Tim Kate and even Gibbs had smirks on their faces.

"Hey Who's your friend?" Samantha asked going to the filing cabinet between Tim and Tony's desks

"I honestly don't know. What is your name again?" Tony asked.

"Ohhh what a gorgeous child. Is this your little girl?" The woman asked.

"No that would be my granddaughter. My daughter is right there." Tony said pointing to Samantha.

"Oh. Well would you mind if we went out on a date sometime. I know you would want your dad to be happy." The woman said.

Samantha shut the filing cabinet and glancing at Tim Kate and Gibbs and winked. "I don't mind him being happy. But I'd advise you to be very careful of his current lover. I hear they're pretty mean. But that's just what I hear." Samantha said smiling sweetly.

The woman shrunk a little. "Nice meeting you then." The woman said leaving to be with the other rookies. Kate and Tim came in smirking.

"Thank you so much." Tony said.

Samantha smiled leaned over and kissed his head. "What I'm here for." Samantha said.

"And who she don't intimidate away I will." Gibbs said coming around the corner.

Tony smirked at his daughter and lover. "What did Vance want?" Tony asked.

"For me to watch our rookies and give him my pick." Gibbs said.

"How many?" Samantha asked.

"1. Dwayne Wilson. I have to give my recommendation." Gibbs said sighing.

"And we have a crime scene at Quantico. Gear up." Gibbs said standing. He looked at the 1 rookie and beckoned him over.

Tony leaned over and whispered in Samantha's ear. "Can I borrow our granddaughter tonight?" Tony asked.

"Sure." Samantha said and followed them onto the elevator.

CRIME SCENE

Samantha was snapping photos of the crime scene when the rookie came up. "You look so familiar. Did you go to DC high?" Dwayne Wilson asked.

Samantha looked up from her task. "Yes I did." Samantha said getting tweezers and picking up some threads.

"Now I recognize you. You were the girl who was pregnant in the junior year and then out for most of the senior year." Dwayne said.

"Yes I was." Samantha said not giving anything away.

"So did you give the baby away?" Dwayne asked.

"No I didn't." Samantha said.

Over on the other side of the bank Gibbs Tim and Tony noticed that the Rookie had gravitated to Samantha. "Think we should go save her?" Tim asked.

"Nah. What do you think Boss?" Tony asked his lover.

"I think you two should take a lesson from Samantha and get to work. Before I prove to Vance that she can do you two's jobs for you." Gibbs said going to talk to the security office.

"Ain't Gibbs supposed to be observing the Rookie?" Tim asked.

"Can't you see McGee. He's letting Samantha do it." Tony said.

Tim nodded. "Makes sense. Out of all of us she would have the best perception of people." Kate said.

LATER ON AT NCIS

The team was working on figuring out how the bank was robbed. Tim and Kate were working on separate projects. Tony who was done with his got up and went over to Samantha's desk. "Anyone have any observations on Dwayne?" Tony asked.

"He's a hard working kid." Kate said.

"He seems good at what he does." Tim said.

"Not to mention he's taken to Sam." Kate said.

"What?" Tim asked looking up.

"Woops I do believe our probie has a problem with that last observation." Tony said smirking.

"Shut up Dinozzo." Tim said.

"What's going on." Samantha asked.

"Where's Dwayne?" Kate asked.

"Gibbs thinks he needs to learn every aspect of the field. So he's taking a crash course in chemistry from Abby." Samantha said sitting down at her desk.

Samantha noticed the 3 team members all giving each other looks. "What?" Samantha asked.

"Nothing." They all three said.

"They're all wondering how you know the Rookie." Gibbs said coming into the desk area.

"No we weren't." Tony said quickly.

"For you guys information Dwayne went to my high school. He was a year or so be hind me." Samantha said.

"Oh." Tony said.

"He seemed to be interested in you at the crime scene." Kate said.

"He was asking me if I was the girl who was raped and in the wheel chair." Samantha said looking at her screen.

"Did you tell him?" Tim asked.

"Yes McGee I told him." Samantha said.

"Samantha? What's your take on this kid?" Gibbs asked.

Samantha looked at him. "From what I understand he came into the Agency cause his dad was cleared of a crime by a NIS Agent. Said he wanted to catch the bad guys like the guy that help clear his dad." Samantha said.

"I know what he said. What's your take on him?" Gibbs asked.

"He seems ok Gibbs. Yeah he needs some time to adjust but so did McGee from what I have heard." Samantha said smirking at Tim.

"Would you put a recommendation in his file so he can go through the courses? If you were leader?" Gibbs asked.

Samantha sighed. "If I were leader I would look into his past a little first. Make sure what his father was charged with wouldn't come back to bite the agency. But other than that Yes I would." Samantha said. Gibbs nodded and started looking at his email.

WEDNESDAY NOV 9TH 2008 4: PM

NCIS DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

Vance was standing in his office when Gibbs entered. "Here's Dwayne Wilson's file." Gibbs said.

"Took you long enough." Vance said opening the file to see nothing written.

"It's blank Gibbs." Vance said.

"Write Recommended." Gibbs said leaving the office.

BREAK ROOM

Samantha and Kate are sitting at a table. Dwayne Tony and Tim come in. "Well Dwayne I'm sad to see you go." Tim said.

"Here you go kid. For the road." Tony said handing him a candy bar. Abby comes in and sits down with Gracie in her lap who is asleep.

"6 years ago." Dwayne said.

"Excuse me?" Tim asked.

"That was when I first met Samantha." Dwayne said.

Samantha looked at him. "I honestly don't remember you." Samantha said taking a drink of her mountain dew.

"I know you didn't. But I remembered you. Who could forget the girl who had the balls to go up tell her story to the entire school." Dwayne said.

Everyone laughed softly. "I was there the day that the principle came on the PA system and said you had been shot by Niles Darinsky." Dwayne said.

"Yeah that wasn't my best day." Samantha said.

"Mine either." Tony murmured. Tim who was beside him smirked.

"Any ways it was nice meeting you all. And Samantha?" Dwayne asked.

"Yeah?" Samantha asked looking up.

"She's a gorgeous child." Dwayne said nodding and leaving the room leaving everyone shocked.

THAT NIGHT

DINOZZO/GIBBS HOUSE

Tony was laying out on the bed waiting on Gibbs to come out of the bathroom. When he did Tony rolled onto his side and smiled at him. "I know you Kate and Tim wondered why I was asking Samantha to profile Dwayne Wilson." Gibbs said sighing.

Tony got up and climbed over to sit on the edge beside his lover. "I know why you did. Kate and Probie may think they know you but they haven't a clue." Tony said.

Gibbs nodded. "I am doubting myself cause of Langer. Tony what you don't know is Samantha suspected Langer but she also suspect Agent Lee. I'm wondering if maybe she was right and I was wrong." Gibbs said bowing his head.

Tony laughed lightly. "That's my girl. She didn't come to you with it did she?" Tony asked.

"Not til I cornered her about it about a month before it all went down. I asked her why she kept watching Lee suspiciously. And she told me point blank that she thought that Lee was the suspect. I noticed today when you had trouble opening your drawer and she saw it was cause of Langer's id that she shook her head. I wanted her to feel that her judgement was partially right." Gibbs said.

Tony wrapped his arm around Gibbs shoulder. "And you were too. But there is no need to beat yourself up over it." Tony said kissing Gibbs shoulder.

"You're right." Gibbs said.

"Didn't you know I'm always right?" Tony asked laughing at the head slap.

"Come on let's get some sleep." Gibbs said crawling under the covers and wrapping his arm around Tony.
