Charity made her way home. She felt relieved when she saw Tony's car in his usual spot. After what she just saw she really needed to talk to him. She climbed out of her car and headed inside. She hopped in the elevator and rode it up. She hopped off the elevator and headed straight inside the apartment. Thankfully Tony was sitting on the couch alone.

He looked up at her, a smile on his face. Once he caught sight of the look on her face, his smile melted in concern. "What's wrong?"

"Things that have been seen cannot be unseen." Charity answered, walking over and sitting down beside him.

"Was this worse than the nudist colony?" He asked.

"I thought we agreed never to speak of that again...and yes it was much worse."

"What happened?"

"Well, after I finished having tea with your grandmother, I thought that I would head over and visit with my dad for a little while." Charity began. "I walked down to the basement, knowing he'd be there and he was...but he wasn't alone."

"What do you mean?" Tony asked.

"I saw him with a woman...their hands were all over each other...and he had his shirt off and hers was off."

Tony wrapped his arms around Charity and pulled her close. He stroked her hair and kissed the top of her head. "I remember walking in my dad with my first step mother, when I was younger. I had nightmares for a week."

"Yes, but I also won't ever be able to look at my director the same way again."

"Wait...you don't mean...?" Tony asked, trailing off.

Charity nodded. "Yeah, my dad and my director are...involved...and I walked in on them."

"That's...that's...a...wow." Tony replied unable to think of anything to say. He rubbed his hand up and down her arm, gently and kissed the top of her head. He really wasn't quite sure how to handle the situation other than to offer his wife comfort. "Why don't you go and take a nice warm relaxing bath?" He suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea." Charity agreed.

Tony kissed the top of her head again, before unwrapping his arms from around her. "I'll be in in a minute to rub your shoulders."

Charity kissed Tony's cheek. "I love you."

He leaned close to her and kissed her lips. "I love you, too."

Gibbs...

Gibbs walked back towards his house, a defeated look on his face. Jenny was standing in the entry way when he walked inside. "I couldn't catch up to her." Gibbs said.

Jenny nodded. "I...I should probably go. In case she comes back. I know you two will have a lot to talk about."

Gibbs nodded. "I'll call you." He said.

Jenny kissed his cheek and then left without a word. Things are going to be awkward at the office tomorrow. She thought as she headed home.

Gibbs walked into his living room and fell back onto the couch. He let out a sigh. "What have I gotten myself into?" He spoke aloud to no one in particular. He had to talk to his daughter about this, but he knew that that was going to be hard. He was pretty sure that right now she wouldn't want to talk to him.

After a while, Gibbs headed back down to his basement. He poured himself a glass of bourbon and drank it down. Then he returned to working on his boat. "It's gonna be a long night." He muttered to himself.

Charity the next day...

Charity walked into the squad room and headed straight for her desk. "How was tea time, yesterday?" Burley asked once Charity was seated.

"Fine." Charity answered, having almost completely forgotten about that. After seeing her father and the director together, that was all she could think about.

Burley looked at her confused, by the tone of her voice. "You sure you're okay?" He asked.

"Fine." Charity answered. "Now, do you guys have anything on our case?"

"We don't, but Abby and McGee have something in the lab. They wanted us to tell you to head down there when you came in." Ziva answered

Charity nodded. She then stood up and headed for the elevator. She soon stood outside the lab and walked inside. Abby and McGee were sitting in front of the computers and talking. "Okay, to help you find your perfect match, I need to know: do you want a male or female?" Abby asked, McGee.

"I'm not picky. I like both males and females." McGee answered.

"That's more than I wanted to know about you, McGee." Charity said, coming behind them.

"Abby's trying to help me find a..." McGee began.

Charity raised her hand, palm out. "Hey, don't ask, don't tell." Charity replied, having a hard time keeping a straight face. "So, what do you two have for me?"

"Well, we finally were able to crack our vic's computer files." McGee answered.

"And you won't believe what we found." Abby added.

"Are you two going to keep me in suspense or are you going to tell me?" Charity asked.

"It's always right to the point with you, Charity. You know I like a little foreplay." Abby teased.

"Abby." Charity prompted.

"Okay, well we found this file, which when we open it contains a bunch of random and complex code." Abby answered.

"And when we decipher it, we get this." McGee added and then pulled up the images on the screen.

Charity looked at the screen and read the message. It read: They're coming for me. They're going to kill me. Quake. The message was repeated over and over again, filling up an entire page. "Have you been able to find anything on this Quake?" Charity asked.

"Yes." Abby answered.

"It's a highly classified Military operation. The Director is working on getting us the security clearance on the operation right now." McGee answered.

"She said she would contact you directly when she had the information." Abby added.

"Good work, you two." Charity said. "Look in the fridge." Then she left.

Abby and McGee turned to the fridge, inside were a CafPow and a cup of tea. "How does she do that?" Abby asked.

"I have no idea." McGee answered.

"It has to be magic." Abby replied.

Charity walked out of the lab and hopped inside the elevator. She really wasn't looking forward to Jenny bringing her the information about Quake. She wasn't quite ready to see her again, just yet. The elevator stopped at the squad room and Charity walked back to her desk and sat down.

"So, what did Abby and McGee have?" Burley asked.

"A classified operation by the name of Quake is somehow involved." Charity answered. "The Director is getting us clearance."

Just then the phone at Charity's desk rang. Charity picked it up and answered it. "Hello."

"I want you and your team to meet me up in MTAC now." Director Shepard said over the line.

"Be right there, Director." Charity answered, keeping her voice level. Then she hung up. "Ziva come with me. Burley you get McGee and meet us in MTAC." Charity ordered and then stood up. She and Ziva headed towards MTAC.

Before much longer, the group stood in MTAC with Jenny. A Marine General was on the screen giving the group the details of Quake. Once they were finished, Jenny dismissed the group, except for Charity. "You and I need to talk." Jenny told Charity.

"About what? There's really nothing to talk about." Charity replied, looking anywhere, but at Jenny.

"About what happened yesterday." Jenny answered.

"I'd rather just try and forget what I saw." Charity said, still not looking at her.

"Then why can't you look at me?"

"Because I still haven't forgotten what I saw and I can't look at you without...seeing you like I did yesterday."

"That's exactly why we need to talk about it."

"No." Charity replied. "It's just too soon and I have a doctor's appointment to go to."

The rest of the team...

"That's weird." Burley said.

"Yes, that entire operation sounds weird." Ziva agreed.

"No, not that." Burley replied. "I'm talking about Charity and the Director."

"What are you talking about?" McGee asked.

"Charity wouldn't look at Director Shepard and there seemed to be some tension in the air." Burley replied. "Something is up."
