Ch. 2
Goodbye...Again
Elizabeth knew all the hiding spots of NCIS. Some she couldn't use anymore because they had caught on but others she hadn't used since she was younger so they were free to use. She walked past autopsy, she heard Ducky telling another one of his stories to everyone. She laughed at bit and went into the elevator. Gibbs happened to see her pass and he went out of autopsy. He walked into the elevator just before it closed.
"Whats your problem Liz?" He asked as he stopped the elevator.
"Simple. I just lost Kate. I was just recently told that Ari, who happens to be my father, wants me dead, and I have to deal with Avery's constant crying and whining." She said getting angrier by the minute. "And Don't say 'It's hitting us all hard.' because that's what Abby said and I'm tired of hearing that."
"Fine I won't say that. But it's true. and We all love you here but Avery-" He was cut short again by Liz.
"I don't give a damn that Avery needs more attention then me because she's younger or because she was related to Kate more than I was or any of the bullshit."
"Watch your language young lady and you just basically said everything I was going to say and then you missed some." He said as he flipped the switch to turn the elevator back on. "I was going to say that Avery need more attention because she's not you. You've been very independent the whole time I've known you. You hide the pain of losing a person close to you. Liz you take after your mom in that sense." He said hugging her has he stopped the elevator again.
She had started crying because she was tired of holding back tears until past midnight some nights. "He's not winning this round Gibbs. We are." She sputtered through the tears.
"You are very right about that Elizabeth." He said as he flipped the elevator back on.
The doors opened as she walked out on the main level of the building. She walked outside and sat on the curb. She wiped tears away and never looked back towards the building. She heard little footsteps running towards her. She looked behind her a Avery cam running up towards her. "LIZZIE! Aunt Ziva wants you!" She yelled as she came up in front of Liz and tried to help the older girl up. "Okay Okay. I'm, coming." Liz said as her sister pulled her up.
