Hey guys thanks for all the lovely reviews . Sorry the first chapter was so short. Here is the next chapter and I am working on the third one now . Oh and for those of you who don't like Agent Matthews, I have a feeling you might not like her even more now. :P
Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS. I just own my ideas and Special Agent Jessica Matthews.
Chapter Two
-Outside Vance's office-
"Wow your boss sounds really pissed." Special Agent Matthews said.
They were standing in the waiting room outside of Vance's office, listening to him and Gibbs throw down the gauntlet. Tony leaned against a chair, arms crossed, mad as hell. McGee also had his arms crossed but was just standing there in shock. Neither had a reply for Jessica's statement.
"Well you boys sure know how to make a girl feel apart of the team."
"You are not apart of our team." Tony barked back at her. Jessica looked at him in fright. McGee finally had something to say.
"I am so sorry about your brother."
"It's fine." Matthew's replied, trying to hold back her tears, but she instantly started crying.
-Inside Vance's office-
"What the hell Leon, you think you can just add someone to my team? Is she even good? She's not one of the two agents you showed me a month ago. What did she bend over and then you offered her a job?"
"You better watch yourself Gibbs, and yes I can add someone to your team because I am director. Special agent Matthews graduated from MIT two years ago. She was in the top of her class. Her father is commander Justin Matthews. Jessica was going to the CIA but her father didn't want her working there, so he called me because I owe him a favor."
"What did he do for you?"
"That is none of your damn business."
"Fine Leon. You want her on my team? Get me Ziva in MTAC. I want to see how she is doing."
"Gibbs, she hasn't called. She hasn't written. She hasn't emailed. You think she wants to talk to you?"
"I don't care I want to see her. See that she is okay."
"Fine I'll see what I can do. I know she was like a daugh-"
"IS like a daughter to me Leon. IS!" Gibbs stormed out of the office.
"Agent Matthews follow me to my Office. DiNozzo, McGee get back to the squad room." Gibbs yelled.
-Elevator-
Gibbs hit the emergency stop button so hard he felt his finger pop.
"What are you doing here Agent Matthews?"
"Working, sir." Gibbs hated being called sir, but he would accept it from her because he all ready hated her.
"Why my team?"
"Director Vance assigned me to your team because you are down an agent."
"You always do what your father says?"
"I do what I can not to upset my father." She said rather angrily.
"Just so we're clear, you are not apart of my team. You may be in it but you are not apart of it." He punched the emergency stop and the elevator buzzed with life. Before his arm returned to resting position though, Matthews had pushed the button again.
"And just so we're clear Agent Gibbs, it is obvious that whoever you lost in your team meant a lot to you. I understand I probably won't ever fill their shoes, but if you give me a chance I will prove I am a damn good agent."
"Trust me you could never fill her shoes, and you never will."
They both reached for the button that time but Gibbs reached it first. The elevator stopped at the squad room's floor. Gibbs stormed out and went toward his desk, but then remembered he needed a refill of coffee. Agent Matthews was not far behind him. She stopped just before entering the teams sector and let out a loud "UGH!" which made the whole floor look at her. She started toward the desk, but Tony jumped and sat on it before she could put her stuff down.
"You can't sit here." Tony said so meanly his words could melt metal.
"Why?" Agent Matthews matched his tone.
"It's occupied."
"By Who?"
"Someone."
"Looks pretty empty to me Agent DiNozzo."
"Well it's not Agent Matthews. You can sit at the desk at the end. Oh and just to be clear, you will never sit here."
"You people sure are clear about all the things I will never do." She said under her breath as she walked toward the end desk.
"What was that Agent Matthews?"
"Nothing Agent DiNozzo."
Tony got back up and headed for his desk when he realized he just touched her desk.
"You weren't there."
"No, but I should have been!"
"Go home everyone. We will pick this up tomorrow." Gibbs said returning to his desk.
"I don't think that is a good idea Agent Gibbs."
"I wasn't asking for your approval Agent Matthews. Now get the hell home."
"I would sir, if my home wasn't the crime scene to my brother's murder and wasn't currently holding my brother's murder."
The team looks at her in shock.
