NCIS BULL PEN
Tony and Samantha came in together to find McGee yelling in the phone. "ANOTHER 400 BUCKS?" He fumed.
"Woah is that a dating service?" Tony asked smirking. Samantha shook her head and watched McGee slam his phone down.
"I take it she didn't wanna go on a date for less than 400." Tony said checking his email.
"No. It's repair shop I have my car at. Seems to get a new fuel tank I have to pay 400 more bucks." McGee said sighing.
"So how did you get here?" Samantha asked.
"I took a cab. Why?" McGee asked.
"If I'd known I woulda picked you up before I dropped Gracie off at pre k." Samantha said.
"If it's not done tomorrow would you still do that?" McGee asked.
"Sure would. Just let me know." Samantha said sitting down at her desk.
Just then Gibbs rounds the corner with his coffee. "Dead Squid. Gear up." He said grabbing his gun and headed for the elevator his team on his six.

NCIS BULL PEN
Tony, Kate, Samantha and McGee are all sitting at their desks going over possible scenarios when Gibbs comes in a bouncing Gracie in his arms talking about her day. "McGee tomorrow morning I want you to go to the prison and get the confession out of Celia Roberts." Gibbs said dropping the file on his desk.
"You think that's a wise idea Boss? I mean McGee is kinda well Soft. Those women would eat him alive." Tony said.
"I can be tough when I have to be." McGee said. Tony and Kate both look at him.
"What? I scolded Gracie the other day." McGee said.
Tony looked down at Gracie. "She's 5 years old McGee." Tony said.
"I know how to be tough." McGee said. Tony and Kate looked at each other once again.
"Good. Alright everyone call it a day." Gibbs said grabbing his coat.
8: PM
SAMANTHA'S APARTMENT
Tim was nervous about going into the prison the next morning. "Do you really think I can do it Sam?" He asked.
Samantha came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of coffee. "Yes. Tim you're a good investigator . Gibbs wouldn't give this assignment if he didn't think you could do it." Samantha said.
"I know." Tim said as Gracie came out of the bedroom.
"Mommy can I watch spongebob?" She asked.
"Sure sweetie." Samantha said turning the tv on Nick.
"She likes Spongebob Square pants." Samantha said smirking at Tim.
"Least she don't wanna watch any scary movies." Tim said.
"Oh she watches those over at Dad and Gibbs' house I'm sure." Samantha said sitting back down.
"Do you ever wonder why Gibbs recruited us?" Tim asked.
"No. He chose a team he could rely on. Kate for her profiler skills. You for your Technology skills. And dad cause he thinks outside the box more than you and Kate do. As for me. I have no clue why I'm there." Samantha said.
"Cause you keep us grounded and you believe it or not you are more like Gibbs in interrogation than any of us could ever wish to be." Tim said.
"No I'm not." Samantha said.
"Yes you are." Tim said kissing her head.
"You better get home you gotta be at prison by 7 to get a confession out of her." Samantha said standing.
"Yeah. My sister came by last night and let me borrow her car. So I don't need a ride." Tim said.
"Ok. I'll see ya tomorrow when you get in from the Prison." Samantha said.
"K. Bye Gracie girl." Tim said scratching her head.
'Wait Uncle Tim." Gracie said scrambling to her feet running to hug his leg.
"Well I didn't expect this." Tim said picking her up and kissing her cheek.
"I'll see ya tomorrow after Pre School ok Missy?" Tim said.
"Ok. Good luck getting the confession from the mean lady." Gracie said.
Samantha smirked at Tim. "She sees and hears all." She said.
"Yes she does." Tim said setting Gracie down and going to the door.
"See ya tomorrow." Tim said.
"Yeah Bye." Samantha said.
Once the door was shut and locked Gracie turned to Samantha. "Mommy do you like Uncle Tim?" She asked in her 5 year old way.
"Yes I do. Why?" Samantha asked.
"Cause he likes you too." Gracie said going back to her show. Samantha nodded.

Abby was sitting at Samantha's desk fidgeting. "Abby is there a reason you are on my desk?" Samantha asked.
"Sammie I'm worried about Timmy. He shoulda been back by lunch." Abby said.
"He probably stopped to check on his car. Gibbs didn't say he needed the confession til 5 this evening." Samantha said standing up with a file.
"Probie is fine. I doubt the female prisoner have maimed him. Yet." Tony said smirking.
"Dinozzo Todd grab your gear." Gibbs barked coming in through the desks.
"We got a case?" Kate asked.
"Yeah a prison guard at the Female prison is dead. The prisoner are holding it prisoner." Gibbs said tucking his gun inside his jeans.
"But Gibbs that's where McGee is." Abby said.
"I know Abby. We're gonna go save him." Gibbs said nodding for Tony and Kate to go on towards the elevator.

"Sure." Samantha said nodding.

"I'm sure Gibbs Dad and Kate will get McGee back safe and sound." Samantha said grabbing her gun and keys.

Samantha was taking her shot when Tony and Kate came in with evidence. "We need this processed before sunset." Kate said.
"Why before Sunset?" Samantha asked.
"The Warden wants to go in." Tony said.
"He's real adamant about sending his crew in to diffuse the situation." Kate said.
"You know I stay here while all you guys go off and risk your lives." Abby said going off.
"It's our job Abs. None of us like risking our lives." Kate said her partner.
"I know. How's McGee?" Abby asked.
"He seemed fine when he came out and told us what the inmates wanted." Tony said.
"Grampy? Where's Uncle Tim?" Gracie asked coming out of the office Abby had her small tv set up in.
"He's still talking to the mean lady." Tony said picking her up and kissing her on the cheek.
"Oh. Poppa with him?" Gracie asked.
"He's helping with something at the moment Baby girl." Tony said as his cell phone rang.
"Dinozzo." He said.
"Tony you and Kate look at the surveillance footage and let me know what you see." Gibbs said.
"Will do. Hey talk to Gracie for a minute please." Tony said handing his phone to Gracie who talked with her Poppa about something important.
"Ok he said Mommy should help you guys seeing as she knows the program." Gracie smiling at Tony.
"You like being the messenger for Poppa don't you?" Tony asked tickling her.

BULL PEN
Gibbs had called Tony's land line phone and was looking for something on the surveillance camera. "Dinozzo! Is Samantha there working on it too?" Gibbs barked.
"Yes I am Gibbs just give me a minute to get the program up and running on Dad's computer. I was consoling a sobbing year old because Aunt Abby forgot she was there." Samantha said getting the program running.
"Ok what I'm seeing is our vic comes in stumbling and all the girls jump on him. Miss Latino is the first one on him." Samantha says clicking fast forward on the disk.
"Anything on Celia?" Gibbs asked.
"Nothing. I'm doing a background checks on the guards. Anyone you want to looked at specifically?" Samantha asked.
"Lambro and Trimble. Also check out Sharon Bellows. Somehow she's connected." Gibbs said.
"Will do. I'll call you back in another half hour with my findings." Samantha said.
"Ok." Gibbs said hanging up.

Samantha had ran all the names and came up with more information than she wanted to. She sighed as she explained the drug charges on Trimble and the photo she found. "So Trimble was doing Sharon Bellows daughter Zoe. What the hell did she do kill him for it?" Tony asked.
"Think of what you want to do Ari dad." Samantha said softly.
"Yeah. I can't blame her." Tony said. Gibbs called demanding answers. So Samantha filled him in on everything.
"Tony, Kate go get the girl and bring her in. I'm bringing Lambro in see what he has to say for himself. Samantha see if you can patch this information through to McGee's computer." Gibbs said.
"Got it." Samantha said hanging up causing Tony and Kate to stare at her.
'What?" She asked.
"You hung up on Gibbs." Kate said astonished.
"Yes I've done it before. You really think I'm scared of him Kate?" Samantha asked walking back to McGee's Desk.

The case was over. They had gotten the killer. Kate Tony Gibbs and McGee came into the bull pen where Samantha and Abby were chatting with Gracie. "Uncle Tim!" Gracie exclaimed running to him.
"Hey Sweet pea. You didn't miss me did you?" Tim asked smirking.
"No. But I think Abby and Mommy were worried." Gracie said.
Tim smiled at Samantha who was sitting at her desk working on her report. "Did you get the confession out of the mean lady?" Gracie asked sitting on Tim's lap.
"I believe I did." McGee said.
"We had faith in you." Kate said.
Tim looked at the plasma and seen his distorted picture. "Grampy did that." Gracie said.
"Thanks Gracie. Haven't you heard of being quiet?" Tony asked good naturally.
McGee's phone rang and he snatched it up. Samantha came around the cubicle and watched him. "No you listen to me. You're gonna fix my car for the original price you gave me. And it's gonna be ready 4 o'clock tomorrow. Thank you goodbye." McGee said hanging up. He looked around to see all his team looking at him.
"What?" Tim asked.
"Prison changed you McGee. And I like it." Abby said. Everyone laughed.

Tim was sitting on the couch eating pizza. "So Abby told me that you met someone you knew in the prison." Samantha said throwing her napkin down.
"Oh you mean Crystal? We went to school together at MIT." Tim said.
"Oh really. From what I heard she thinks you were more than school mates." Samantha said smirking.
"N no. We were just f friends." Tim said looking at Samantha who was laughing.
"You're not jealous?" Tim asked.
"Not in the least." Samantha said.
"Why not?" Tim asked.
"Cause if you were to cheat on me you would have bigger balls than most the guys I dated in highschool." Samantha said taking a sip of her soda.
"Why you say that?" Tim asked.
"Cause most knew that if they broke my heart I'd feed em to Gibbs." Samantha said.
Tim laughed and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "You know something?" Tim asked.
"I know lots of things but do tell me what you know." Samantha asked.
"I love you. I've loved you since the day we danced on the dance floor at Christmas almost 5 years ago. There has never been anyone else after I met you and got to know you. So in short I'm not leaving you unless I'm drawn away by gunpoint." Tim said leaning in and kissing Samantha.
