Here's to many future adventures together!
Jenny grinned as Gibbs tapped his glass of bourbon against hers. She knew exactly what he meant by it.
With his team dispatched to interview a variety of suspects, Gibbs had decided that she could be his backup when he stormed a house. Of course he hadn't put it in those terms, but forcibly dragged her from MTAC instead.
She had enjoyed being back in the field again. She had even had the opportunity to chase a suspect and tackle him to the ground, which had led to her being covered in mud when he had continued to resist arrest. The look on Jethro's face when he found her with an unconscious suspect had made her laugh.
Occasionally she missed their old adventures. She missed the adrenaline rushes, the surviving on caffeine only and the sheer excitement of it all. And then she remembered the dry-cleaning bills, the bruises that ended up all over her body and the constant desire for sleep. At least the hours were fairly regular when she was behind a desk.
Still, she enjoyed it when Jethro gave her the chance to go back into the field. They had always worked well together and it was clear that they continued to do so. And it showed her that he trusted her.
She allowed the amber liquid to slide down her throat. Hopefully they would have another adventure soon.
