Sorry I've Been Away!

Disclaimer: So do not own NCIS

I had gone down to Abby's and told her about the wife and ended up talking to her about Forks and Phoenix and my decision to move I told her about the bad break up that forced me into working so hard. I didn't mention names as I knew that if and when she tried to look them up the either wouldn't exist or be far to old to them to be alive and in high school with me. Once are little chat was over I went back up to the bullpen. Or I planned to. I stepped it to the elevator to realise that the only other occupant was none other then Jimmy. We were moving no longer then 15 seconds before he pulled the emergency stop.

"Is it true? What Gibbs and Ziva told me?" he asked, not looking away from the wall

"Depends on what they told you." I replied also not taking my eyes off of the wall.

"About Professor Lockley? That he made moves on you after the final test. Not before."

"Then yes its true. You of all people know how I feel about men. It took me 7 months to warm up to you, and then it was only because we were locked in an elevator - kind of like now."

"It seems to be the only place we can really talk. Any where else and Gibbs could over hear. Or Tony and Ziva would hear and tell Gibbs-"

"About that, Ziva is kind of pushy, and you know they kind of had to find out we couldn't work together as we were without them getting suspicious, so I told her and Gibbs over heard and-" I was cut of by Jimmy's hand over my mouth. He was laughing at me!

"Bells, I don't care. I like having my best friend back." He laughed pulling me in for a hug.

"We should really start the elevator before people get bad ideas."

"Nah, Gibbs use this as a conference room all the time. People have learnt to accept it and use the stairs."

"Well, OK, but what would happen if some one didn't and saw us getting out together?"

"... Good point." and with that he pulled away and flicked the switch.

Once we got to the floor the bull-pen was on the doors opened to reveal Ziva and McGee.

"Your not Gibbs." McGee said confused.

"Why did you stop the elevator?" Ziva asked also confused though there was a hint of mischief in her eyes. I just turned to Palmer and said,

"Told you awkward questions would be asked. You stopped the elevator, you answer them." Before pushing past McGee.

3 Months I've been with NCIS: MCRT or Gibbs' children as the rest of NCIS call us apparently not only because of the way we act around each other but the way he treats us, like training children life rules. Which technically he does. Like the dread Rule 12: Never date a co-worker. I guess its good that, that particular rule exists, for me at-least. It means there is only so much flirting with me and Ziva he can do before Gibbs thinks its going to far, and tells him to be quite or 'Gibbs slaps' him, other wise I think me or Ziva would have punched him by know. I have heard no more from E-Edward, the pain seems to minimised though. And I moved back in with Palmer, life couldn't be better.

Except now Ziva and I are sat next to each other on one side of Director Shepard's desk with her and her and Gibbs on the other.

"I'm not doing it." Ziva said "Bella can I'll do another part."

"It's up to Bells. You have been trained longer if Bells doesn't think she can do it you'll have to."

It was up to me. A choice that could make or break my carer. I'm either about to say the stupidest thing of the smartest thing.

"I'll do it."
