Gibbs and Lizzie practically ran into Jenny's room. She was lying in her bed, smiling. She had obviously heard they were coming. Gibbs leaned over straight away and gave her a massive kiss. Jenny was surprised but happy. She didn't know that Gibbs cared that much. Meanwhile Lizzie stood in the background and moaned, "Get a room." Gibbs and Jenny smiled and continued kissing.

When they finally finished kissing Lizzie came and sat down beside her mum.

"How are you feelling?" she asked.

"I'm ok." replied Jenny. "They said I can go home whenever I like but I might need someone to carry me and I will have to use crutches." Jenny scowled at the sticks in the corner of the room. She hated those hateful things.

"I can arrange for you to be carried." smirked Gibbs.

"No way are you carrying me!" exclaimed Jenny.

"I could..." began Gibbs but Jenny abruptly cut him off.

"NO JETHRO!" she moaned. Gibbs scowled. He was going to have to find a way around her.

Jenny pulled herself out of the bed and got dressed. Then she took the hated crutches out of the corner and made her way towards the door.

Gibbs stopped her and asked, "Do you want a piggy back?"

Beforer she could answer GIbbs had pulled her up into his arms. She screamed and kicked her legs. "JETHRO!" she yelled.

"Shhh." whispered Gibbs. "We don't want to make a scene."

"We already have." muttered Jenny underneath her breath. She was going to kill him.


They all ended up in Abby's lab - again. Jenny sighed. If this was going to come a regualr occurance she was going to have a permanent office down here. Lizzie didn't mind. She had spent the past day in the lab. To her it was a load of fun. Gibbs gave them all a kiss before going upstairs to see his team.

As he walked into the bullpen Ziva stopped him. "Is she fine?" she asked.

"Yes." he said.

"When we catch this guy I'm going to break his nose." scowled Ziva. What kind of jerk went around paying people to kidnap and kill little girls and tried to assasinate her and the director of a federal agency? When she found out they were going to die a slow and painful death.

"Everyone listen up!" said Gibbs. The team gathered round anxiously. "We are going to investigate the shooting and get this bastard. Any questions?"

It sounded simple enough. Tony stuck up his hand. Gibbs nodded for him to ask his question. "I thought the FBI was doing that." he said.

"Fornell said he would be happy to stay out of our way." smirked Gibbs.

"Then why are they up there dusting for finger prints?" asked Tony. Gibbs stared at him in shock until Tony started laughing. "Gotcha boss!" he laughed.

Gibbs brought up his hand. Tony felt the familiar pain of a fresh Gibbs' slap. (There's the head slap)

The team all grabbed their gear and practically ran up the stairs. Gibbs followed close behind, with a cup of coffee. Lizzie had wanted to see her first crime scene but Gibbs had decided that he didn't want her to see where her mum had been shot. Lizzie had pouted but seemed happy enough to stay with Abby.

"Ziva..." began Gibbs before she interupted.

"Photos." she said.

"Tony..." he began.

"Entrance and exit means for shooter boss." he said before hurrying out to do his work.

"Mcgee..." started Gibbs.

"Finger prints." finished Mcgee.

Gibbs smiled and began sifting through the glass. He looked across the carpet and saw the bloodstains. It made him sick thinking about how close to death Jenny had been. He couldn't bear to loose her or his daughter. What would happen when he had to?

The team quietly worked away. Gibbs found nothing as he sifted the glass fragments. Ziva filled up a whole camera card with pictures. Mcgee used up a whole pot of dust whilst dusting for finger prints. It was going to be a long day and an even longer night.

Gibbs was just letting his mind wonder when he heard Tony shout, "Got something boss!"

Gibbs raced though to where Tony was standing. Unfortunataly he heard a familiar voice and saw a grey head behind him. It was definetaly going to be a long night.

Thanks for reading! I didn't get many reviews for this chapter but the ones I got were really cool! Please review! I need some songs for Lizzie, Abby and Ziva to sing! Bye :)
