Thanks for all your reviews! I'm kinda sad....I only got three reviews!

"Jenny Shephard killed my brother."

Gibbs could almost feel the silence in the room. Tony and Mcgee stared in amazement from behind the mirror.

"When?" asked Gibbs. He tried to keep out the anger in his voice.

"In '99." Said Sacs cunningly.

Gibbs almost gasped as he skimmed through his memories. He was almost one hundred percent certain Sacs meant Paris. And if he did, that was bad. Very bad. "Where?" asked Gibbs.

"Paris." Said Sacs as he stared deeply into Gibbs' impassive blue eyes.

Gibbs skimmed through his memories again. A conversation popped into his head:

Jenny: I'm flashing back to Paris. In 99. Not what you're thinking.
Gibbs: No? Then what?
Jenny: I remember you covering for another agent. Who messed up.
Gibbs: What agent was that?
Jenny: You know damn well what agent.
Gibbs: Oh you mean the time you shot that guy?

He never knew that guy was connected! Jenny always had to get the important guys, didn't she!

"So you are back for revenge." Said Gibbs emotionlessly.

Sacs' eyes glimmered as he realised he had riled Gibbs. "Yep. Finding out you had a daughter with her was just so perfect. A way to get you both. Two fish with one hook." He almost smiled.

A thick, glittering, unnerving anger built up in Gibbs. He tried to shove it away but he couldn't. He slammed his hands down on the table as he stood up.

"You asshole!" he shouted as he stormed out of the room.

Sacs just sat at the table and laughed. He stared at the mirror. He smoothed his hair down. The he smiled.

"I got my revenge."

Ziva stalked into the interrogation room.

"And now you are going to pay for it." She smirked.

"How?" smiled Sacs.

Ziva stared at him. This guy really was an idiot. "You are going to spend the rest of you life in prison."

Sacs shrugged. "Small price to pay."

"You paid people to try to kill me and the director. And to kill a thirteen year old girl. When that didn't work you paid them to rape her." she scowled.

"I did it for my brother." Sacs said.

"And now I am going to get revenge." Ziva said as she pulled out a gun and aimed it at Sacs' head. Sacs looked like he was going to pee his pants. "Be prepared to die."

Sacs held up his hands. "I was only doing it for my brother!" he protested.

"Oh shit." Said Gibbs from behind the mirror as he realised what was going on. He stormed into the room and lowered the arm that held the gun.

"As much as I would like you to kill him, I can't let you." Gibbs explained.

Ziva stormed out of the room. Gibbs turned around to face Sacs.

"You are going to prison for life." Gibbs said.

Sacs shrugged. "I don't care." He said.

Gibbs sighed. Trying to get Sacs to feel guilty was too hard. For once in his life he was going to give up. Sacs was going behind bars and he had his family. Life was practically perfect now. He joined them in the lab. It had become their central meeting place. Lizzie, Jenny, Ziva, McGee, Tony and Abby stood around chatting happily. Lizzie sat on one of the counters. McGee was writing her a puzzle to crack. Ziva stood behind her with her arms around her. Tony was chatting with Jenny. Gibbs stood in the doorway and realised that this was his family. Only one person was missing. That person stepped through the door and held up a bottle of scotch.

"Drink Jethro?" he asked.

"Okay Duck." Gibbs smiled. He grabbed a couple of beakers from one of the cupboards, sniffing them first to make sure they were clean. Ducky poured him a glass.

"To family." Gibbs said as he raised his glass.

Everyone turned his way. They either held up a caf – pow, a coffee or a smoothie.

"Family." They all said.


A while later the party had moved upstairs to the bullpen and was in full swing. Tony had a selection of movies laid out for later when they would all go to MTAC. Jenny and Gibbs were sitting together in one corner. Tony and Ziva were laughing in the other. McGee and Abby were sitting round a computer very close together. That left Ducky and Lizzie. She was amazed by his stories and his storytelling skills. After a while Tony stood up and announced it was movie time. Everyone grabbed some popcorn and a drink and went upstairs.
