NCIS chapter one
I own none of the charecters here. just the plot. This is set just before Hiatus in season 3
Looking in the mirror, I wondered how I had gotten this far. My name is Amelia Addams, I am 23 years old and today is my first day in my new job. My new career, hopefully. I take a deep breath before slowly exiting my car and heading into the NCIS headquarters in DC.
"Excuse me, today's my first day down in forensics and I haven't been given a pass yet." I say to the guard at the door.
"Welcome Miss. I'm Agent Lee. I was told to expect you."
A short while later I found myself in Director Shepard's office.
"Director Shepard. It's a pleasure to meet you Ma'am." I said as we shook hands.
"Welcome Miss Addams. It's a pleasure to have you aboard. Miss Sciuto, who is lead in forensics, is a little apprehensive about having a junior but hopefully the pair of you will get on like a house on fire."
I smiled softly as I tucked my black hair behind my ear. I personally was a little… eccentric and i had heard many amazing things about Abby. She was well known in the forensic community as completely badass and one of the best at her job.
The director led me down to the lab, it looked like a normal forensic lab, other than the loud bass music and pictures of poisoned organs all over the walls.
"Abs!" The director called over the music.
Abby turned round, face showing her absolute annoyance. "Yes Director" She replied sullenly.
"This is your new partner, junior. Whatever you wish to call her Miss Amelia Addams. Amelia, this is Abby Sciuto. Your new boss."
I smile softly at Abby. "Friends at school used to call me Addams or Mel."
"You get one chance, if you try to hurt me or any agent I love. You are out!" Abby snapped.
"I have no plans to do that Miss Sciuto. I only want to help NCIS and the team." I said roughly. I had heard what her last assistant tried to do, and knew she was going to be on the defensive from the moment I got here.
Abby sighed, turned and looked at me properly. "Call me Abby." She responded.
We chuckled softly and started processing the evidence that Abby was currently trying to process.
A couple hours later an older gentleman rocked up in the lab bringing a caffeine drink that he placed directly in front of Abby. "What have you got for me Abs." He said and I realised quickly that this must have been the Agent Gibbs that Abby had told me about, team leader, and father figure to Abby. he turned and looked at me abruptly.
"And you are?" He asked.
"Miss Addams Sir. Abby's new Junior."
"Don't call him Sir." Abby piped up happily taking her Caf-Pow.
Something in my gut turned as I faced Agent Gibbs and as quick as a flash this memory popped into my head and I felt myself collapse into a heap on the floor..
~ Flashback~
I'm sitting on top of a horse. "I wanna gallop Mommy."
"No sweetie."
"Aw let her go Shannon."
~ End ~
Oh yeah, one thing I forgot to mention. I have no memory before the age of 9..
An hour later, I find myself coming round. I'm stiff and my head hurts but I think I know what has happened. I believe it has happened before. When I fully come to. I realise I'm back in the director's office, someone must have carried me up here. I sit up slowly. "I'm sorry Ma'am, this wasn't supposed to happen anymore."
As I look around, I see Agent Gibbs and Abby sitting with the Director.
"Anymore..?" Agent Gibbs asked.
"There was no medical information on your file, Miss Addams."
"I'm sorry Ma'am. I didn't think it was going to cause any problems. I have amnesia, I remember nothing from my birth in 1982 to the age of 10 when I was adopted. In the early years of my adoption I had moments like the one upstairs as memories would start to reappear. I haven't had an episode like this in 5 years. The doctor said it is possible I will never remember those years or why I lost those memories to begin with. My adopted parents have never told me my real name or why I needed adopting, but I should be happy that I got a decent family I guess. That's part of the reason I got into forensics, I was hoping to trace my DNA and find out my real heritage."
"Oh wow." Abby says softly. "The trauma you must have suffered to lose 10 years of memory." Gibbs hugged Abby into his side. I smiled softly. This is the part I hate in telling about my condition, the pity.
"It's fine Abs. I know something bad must have happened, however I have no memory of it, and the life I can remember has been brilliant, and it hasn't stopped me forming new memories. Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love to know what happened to me and where my biological family is but I try to keep on the positive side."
"Miss Addams, because we didn't have anything on your file, I did have to call your next of kin and your Godfather is on his way." The director says softly.
"Oh man, Tobias is going to be so mad. He doesn't know I applied for a job here."
Suddenly the door opens and Tobias Fornell enters. His face drops when he sees me and then he turns to the director and Agent Gibbs. "I'm sorry Jethro." He says as he walks over to me.
"Oh Mels. What have you gotten yourself into now?"
"I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting this to happen. I haven't had a moment like this in a long time."
"What triggered this one?"
"I don't know. I turned around to look at Agent Gibbs and then the pain hit."
Tobias smiled softly and looked at me and then at Gibbs.
"I think we need to talk… I found out some information this morning. Mels, I found out who your biological father is."
Tobias is staring at Gibbs.
"Jethro…" Tobias says softly. "I'm sorry, I only found out this morning. I was coming to tell you when I got the call."
"What is going on Fornell?"
"Miss Amelia Addams here was born Kelly Gibbs."
