NCIS Fan Fiction Part 10~ "You BURNED my HOUSE down?!?!"

Okay here is part 10. It is still Ziva's point of view. Jibbs.

It was after the funeral, we were all waiting in our temporary office for Jenny to arrive. We were all sitting in either chairs or on tables. Well almost everyone. Casey was pacing around the room and jumping a little too. I really wasn't sure why either. Thankfully I didn't have much time to dwell upon it because just then Jenny walked in and said "We'll it's official. I'm Director of NCIS again. Sure they were a little confused since they all thought I was dead, but they needed a Director so badly they didn't object me being Director again too badly."

"For some reason I don't believe that is all you wanted to tell us." Gibbs said.

"It's not. I'm getting to THAT part." She said "So I would like you to shut up now Jethro" she walked over and placed her hand over his mouth.

"Oh come on" he started to say.

"Shhhh" she said and walked over and placed her finger on his mouth again.

"Now when I start, I don't want to be interrupted. Casey you might want to assist me."

She leaped up from where she was sitting, for she had taken a seat when Jenny arrived.

"First of all, you might be wondering how I survived when I was very much dead. Casey do you want to explain this part? Okay?"

"Well, long, long ago magic and such roamed rampant around the earth, mainly there were elves, vampires, werewolves, charter mages, and the abhorsen. They were all very different in their magic and ways. I won't explain now, because of time, but if you want to know anything about them come to me later. There were all these different beings, but there were also humans, and as the human population grew they got tired of all the magic that was around. So they enlisted 100 of the most skilled workers and brightest minds they had, and gave them a task. Their task was to build a barrier, a barrier that would keep the magic down, for 20 years they labored on this barrier, putting anchors for it in all major cities, the barrier completely eliminated charter magic and free magic. The elves just became mere humans.The vampires and werewolves though, their power just became weaker, I think that is because they were so close to being human already. Over the years, the barrier weakened, so either the strongest of the Old races as they are now known, or in the most remote areas magic could be worked. I think that leaves us where Jenny wants us to be now."



"Yes, it does. Thank you Casey. Okay we we're at the magic returning, we'll as the magic returned so did the powers of one certain royal family. The Elvish royal family. You're looking at one of the descendants right now. Currently I'm the the Queen of Elves. So when I was injured, making it look as inconspicuous as possible, some of the other strongest elves came and got me and worked their healing magic on me. I was living with them until I heard about the explosion and where it was for that was where an anchor was. So I left and came here. Now on to DiNozzo, he was about to die and even though from the moment I knew my birthright, I had promised never to use the magic, well I already had once, but I'm not going to talk about that now. So I decided to use it again and save DiNozzo. That is the whole story. We might want to get some swords though, we'll need to go to my house though, I have an armory there."
"Um Jenny I hate to tell you this, but I burnt your house down." said Gibbs very quietly
"You BURNED my HOUSE down!!!!" she exclaimed "Well the armory was underground so perhaps it is still there. Goodbye" Then just like that she turned and marched out of here. I, like everyone else I'm sure, had more questions than answers.

Getting to Know the Truth Part 2~ Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Thanks everyone for all the feedback I have gotten on the first part, please continue leaving all the wonderful comments.

Yes, exactly where to start. It was in the Star of David I wore around my neck- well sort of. The necklace was my mother's. I had got it on my 6th birthday. It had came with a letter, a letter that I still had in the top drawer of my desk, a letter signed with the name Leroy Jethro Gibbs. So that is where I would start my search, I would talk to this Leroy Jethro Gibbs, for I was pretty sure he knew my mother- and well too. I stopped walking abruptly, for I had finally reached my grandfather's house, where I had lived all my life. Oh, frick!!! I thought my he'll be sooo mad if he hears about this out burst! I was hoping he would find out, but fat chance at that given that he is the director of Mossad. I marched up to my room, tears stinging at my face all the way, wondering what my grandfather would think if he knew I was crying now. I got to my desk, opened the drawer and pulled out the two letters I had received. The first one, the oldest one, the one that came with the necklace said



Tali,
I'm sure you're wondering who I am, for now let's just say I was a friend of your parents. Your mother would never forgive me if I didn't tell you that you were named after her younger sister, who died when she was only sixteen. With this I sent your mother's necklace, she would have wanted you to have it. Happy Birthday!
Leroy Jethro Gibbs


I don't know why I even bothered to read it, I've read it so many times in the last nine years that I had it memorized. I pulled out the other one. This one came on my 10th birthday. It said.


Tali,
Hello! Do you remember me? I sent you the necklace 4 years ago. I just wanted you to know that if you ever need, or want, answers come to me, I can explain everything. With this I am also giving you a knife that once belonged to your mother, but since I can't send it through the mail, I came here, I talked to your grandfather and explained somethings to him. He wanted to know why I didn't just tell you now, but I told him you weren't ready yet and you would know when you are ready. You will just know, and I want you to come to me. Happy Birthday!
Leroy Jethro Gibbs


Now was the time to know the truth, I could feel it. Just as this Gibbs guy suggested, I would go to him, but I needed to plan first. Only I couldn't think. I walked down stairs wondering what I should do since I couldn't seem to think about my parents or Gibbs at all and well didn't know where to begin planing this trip. The I stopped. I had just walked past the piano. I might as well play something on it. You might think that it is a bad idea, to sit around playing the piano when I needed to be planning a trip to DC, but for me it actually was a very good idea. Playing the piano always seemed to calm me down and I needed calming down now, if I ever did. I sat down the whispered softly "This is for you Mom, Dad, grandfather" the latter I added very reluctantly. "and Leroy Jethro Gibbs" I finished and began to play through the tears that had started to fall from my face stinging the keys as my fingers danced across them.

NCIS~ fan fiction part 4~ The opposite of Green (eyes)

Tony's dreaming in his coma. This part just proves that I can't write anything without adding some fantasy/ sci-fi thing to it. Kind of a crossover with twilight, the abhorsen trilogy, and Eragon. Some of his dreams may be prophetic, but others not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRESENT DAY~ ANTHONY DINOZZO'S DREAMS.
"I've got you now my dear sister" a voice called out. Ziva thought she would never hear that voice again. It was Ari's. "and this time your not getting away" he pulled out a gun and shot her in the chest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a girl with beautiful golden hair transformed into a wolf.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
another bomb went off at the NCIS headquarters. Everyone died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tony was thirsty, but not for water or any normal drink. He was thirsty for blood.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jenny was sword- fighting with Kate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The dead were rising. A girl with short- black hair was trying to keep them at bay by ringing a bell.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A dragon was flying around breathing fire on DC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ari turned to look at Tony. His eyes were blood red.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tony was in a room full of swords. He selected one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate turned, her eyes shining bright red and said "I'm coming for you Tony"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRESENT DAY~ THE HOSPITAL
The dreams had worked Tony up more than his body to take. He started to crash.
"Crash- code room 9" a doctor called out. "Someone will need to call the contact"
"I'll do it" another doctor said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEROY JETHRO GIBBS
Jenny and I were still locked in our embrace when the phone rang. I went to answer it.
"Oh no, oh no" I said when I heard what it was for.
"What?" Jenny asked inquiringly.
"It's Tony. He's crashing. I'd better call Ziva" I answered
"You can do it in the car I'll drive" she said.
I didn't even had time to nod okay, because she was already racing towards my car. When I got out there I tossed her the keys. We both hopped in and I dialed Ziva's number.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ZIVA DAVID
"Oh crap oh crap" I muttered to myself when I heard what Gibbs had to say.
"We must leave now" I told Casey
"Why? We just got here." she replied
"Yes I know and Tony's crashing, we must get to the hospital"
We both hopped into the car and I started driving and admittedly it was a little worse than it had been before.
"WHERE DID YOU LEARN HOW TO DRIVE??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????" Casey squealed out after the ninth near- miss.
"I taught myself" I replied
"Oh that explains WATCH OUT FOR THAT CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Sorry, I usually don't drive this way, but given the circumstances"
" I understand just PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD!!!!!!!"
Fortunately for both of us we had just reached the hospital, now I could see Tony and how bad his condition was and Casey no longer had to be afraid for her life, even though I'm not sure why my driving is so scary to other people.
I ran no flew down the hall to Tony's room, the secretary at the desk tried to stop me, but I was already half-way down the hall. When I got in the room and saw who was there I almost dropped dead
"Jenny" I managed to mutter then broke down and tears for Tony looked worse than before, he was thin and his heartbeat was irregular.
"He's going to die" I sobbed to no one in particular since in addition to Gibbs and Jenny, Abby, McGee, Ducky, Palmer, and Lee were all also there.
"Not necessarily" Gibbs had me in his arms now and I had to take comfort in those two words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CASEY GIBBS
I walked in the door at a more reasonable pace than Ziva. Oh and guess what I even bothered to check in at the front desk. Okay maybe I am being too cynical or cruel or whatever you want to call it, but still she needed to slow down. I walked into Tony's room and OH MY GOD he looks BAD!!!!!! Ziva looked really bad Gibbs was holding her and she was sobbing into his shoulder.
"What's the prognosis?" I asked trying to sound empathetic.
"No good, less than a 20% chance now." Gibbs sounded sadder than I had ever heard him sound before.
"but we will find a way, I will find a way I won't let him die, because they is always a way" Ziva's voice had conviction in it because she was right there is always a way, even if it is not one you would think of at first even if it meant oh how do I put this altering Tony in a few ways.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEROY JETHRO GIBBS

When you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

Everyone else had left with promises to call them if there was any change in his condition, it was just Ziva and I left. She was still sobbing.

When the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

"Ziva it will be okay" I whispered to her even though I didn't believe it myself.

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Even if doesn't get better I will make sure you do, I thought to her.

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try you'll never know

Just what you're worth

"Ziva I know this hurts, but you have to get over it sometime. You can't just wallow in self- pity for the rest of your life." Wrong thing to say.

"You're making it sound as if he's never going to come out of the coma." I was surprised. That was the first thing she had said in a long while.

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

I just stood there now watching her sob over her broken lover.

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I

Tears stream down your face

I promise you that I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

and I will try to fix you.

I will fix you Ziva, I thought

"I will fix you Tony" I heard her mutter. Huh what a coincidence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER
CASEY GIBBS
I was sitting at Gibbs' house my laptop out, stealing someones wi-fi. Jenny was there too,

"So everyone thought you were dead" I said conversationally.
"No, I was dead. I was brought back"
"So you're a vampire"
"No"
"Then what's your secret?"
"Promise not to tell Gibbs.... or anyone for that matter"
"Sure" I really didn't care if I couldn't tell anyone I just wanted to know for I was researching ways to save Tony. Ways other than modern medicine
"Okay just no you'll think I'm crazy after hearing this."
I nodded
She was about to start talking when Gibbs walked in. She gave me a look as if sorry! this will have to wait.
"I finally convince Ziva to go home" Gibbs said
"Should I go over there?" Jenny asked
"No, not at the moment, maybe in a little bit." he replied
"Why?" Jenny asked
"because I'm going back over there right now. Tony promised me that if he were ever to die I should give this to Ziva" He held up and envelope.
"but he's not dead yet" Jenny put in.
"really what are the chances he will survive" Gibbs voice sounded dull and a little bit sad. "Now I must go I will be back well soon hopefully."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEROY JETHRO GIBBS
I walked out to my car the envelope in hand. I didn't know what was in it and I'm not sure I wanted to know. I drove in silence to Ziva's apartment. After about 15 minutes of driving I finally arrived there. I got out, grabbing the envelope and walked up the front door. With a quick word to the doorman I learned what apartment she lives in and I headed up there. I got there and knocked on the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ZIVA DAVID
I was lying on my bed trying to figure out which way of killing myself would be the least painful, when there was a knock on the door. I went to answer it.
"Gibbs?" I said in surprise though it came out more as a question.
"Hey um Ziva, Tony wanted me to give this to you." he handed me an envelope. "I'll just be leaving now" Gibbs said then he was gone.
I opened the envelope up. There were several pieces of paper in it. I pulled out the first. It was only some song lyrics, really short song lyrics with a small note written by Tony on it. It read

If sweet death should ever conquer me

Let me know boys, let me know

If you hear him coming, won't you let me flee?

Let me go boys, let me go

One day death is going to conquer me

I’ll be down where the waters flow

I hope sweet heaven has a place for me

Let me know boys, let me know

If sweet death should ever conquer me

Take me down to some place below

If you hear him coming, won't you set me free?

Let me go boys, let me go

If you hear him coming, won't you say for me?

That I just don’t want to go...

Was the song. The note read.

Ziva,

If you're reading this I'm sorry. I'm sorry I had to die before you. I'm sorry we couldn't have more time together, I didn't have anybody to set me free like in the song, but like the song I didn't want to go. I wanted to spend more time with you. Again I'm sorry.

,Tony

"Don't apologize Tony" I whispered "It's a sign of weakness" but then again so are tears I thought and look hear I am crying again over a note and some song lyrics. As much as I wanted to see what else was in the envelope, I couldn't at the moment, I was simply to sad to go on.

"Another time" I whispered to myself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JENNY SHEPARD

Ever since I had known my birthright, I had signed an oath never to use my powers unless the magic was to return or I was in a dire situation. I wondered if now would count. It was a dire situation for Tony at least and I never thought this would happen, but someone or something has succeeded in weakening the barrier that keeps the magic at bay. It was definitely returning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE END OF PART 4. WILL CONTINUE IN PART 5.

NCIS Fan Fiction part 3~ somethings don't change(at least for Leroy Jethro Gibbs)

Okay here's part 3. It is still mainly Tiva, but Gibbs also has a large part in this especially at the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ZIVA DAVID
I really wasn't sure why I was so mean to Gibbs' niece when all she was trying to do was help, but you had to admit that she was right- music does help. There was one song in particular that stuck out to me- Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt. I got out of my chair and started to sing.

"Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?'
Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, Yes I saw you were blind and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head. Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me
I am a dreamer and when I wake, You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile. I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the mother of your child. I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bear my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet.
Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow. I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow."

"That was very touching " Gibbs said from the doorway
"Oh well Tony deserved it." I said
"He's not going to die, Ziva"
"Do you really mean that or are you just saying that to make me feel better?"
"I really mean it. I have a gut feeling. He loves you Ziva, I think if anything he will hold on for
you."
"I hope so"
"Now Ziva will you do me one thing- go home and get some rest. I'll call you if there is any change in his condition."
"Okay I will" for I just had realized how tired I was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I walked through the door of my apartment I couldn't help being reminded of that night two weeks ago when Tony and I had arrived at my apartment and I had found that note. The note that I thought would change us forever- and had, but in a more wonderful way than I thought possible. When I went to sleep I dreamed of that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TWO WEEKS AGO
Tony and I had just gotten off work and were walking into my apartment, when I noticed there was something on my door. It was obviously put there so it would blend in. I grabbed it off the door and walked inside.
"What's that?" Tony asked
"I don't know. A note of some sort. It was taped to the door."
I opened it up and read it. When I saw what was inside my face went pale.
"Ziva, Ziva what's the matter?" Tony asked seeing my response.
"He knows, he knows about us." I said sounding very shocked
"Who's he?" Tony asked
"My father and he wants to see me, tomorrow, he's flying to the US"
"We can take your father.""No I can take my father. You are going to have nothing to do with this. Go home now Tony, go. I fear that if you stay you might be killed. Go Tony Go."
"Ziva surely I could stay"
"NO Tony go, my father could have you killed if you stay here so easily. Just listen to me."
"Okay" he said and got up and left.
Once I was sure he was gone. I went and got my car and drove to Gibbs' house, because Gibbs always knows what to do in situations like these. I didn't even bother to knock because Gibbs never locks his door- I just opened it and walked right in. Gibbs wasn't around so I figured that he was in his basement working on one of his boats. I found the way to the basement and walked down there.
"Gibbs" I said "I need help"
"Ziva, this is a surprise" he looked up at me.
"Like I said before I need help"
"With what?"
"Look" I handed the note to him.
"You found this on your door?"
I nodded.
"Ziva" he said and reached out and put his hand on my cheek. "Don't worry I'll go with you, I won't let you get sent back to Israel."
"I'm just afraid of losing Tony. He seems to be the only good thing in my life at the moment. Ever" I was sobbing into Gibbs' shoulder. He was patting the back of my head in a comforting sort of way saying
"Everything will be fine Ziva"
And guess what I believed him, because I loved Gibbs too. Just not in the same way I loved Tony. I loved Gibbs in an older mentor type way.
"I'll just be on my way now" I said then added "Thanks"
"See you tomorrow" Gibbs said "I'll be there" he finished and I believed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE NEXT DAY
Gibbs and I were walking up the steps of the hotel where my father had told me to meet him. We found the hotel room and knocked on the door. My father answered it.
"Ah Ziva so you did show up and brought Gibbs with you, but yet no DiNozzo?" he said
"Yeah Tony wanted to come, but I wouldn't allow it." I replied
"You always were a smart one." he said
"If I'm so smart then why are you here questioning my taste in guys?"
"Well you see when you were in Israel I made it perfectly clear that you are not to date guys that aren't Jewish."
"I love Tony" I said trying to keep my cool.
"Yes that is the problem you see. I'm giving you one last chance to dump this guy and-----"
He didn't get to finish because just then there was a knock on the door. He went to answer it.
"Speak of the devil" he muttered because standing there in the doorway was the very last person I wanted to see there. Tony stormed right in and stopped in front of me, got on one knee, pulled out a small box and said
"Ziva David- I love you and will always love you- will you marry me?" I was so shocked I wasn't sure what to say so I just stammered

"I don't know. I have to think." Then ran out the door. I kept running. I really wasn't sure where I was going, I was just running. Some how I ended up at the reflection pool, I stopped there and sat down and began to cry. I really wasn't sure what to do when he asked me that right then and there asked.... asked me to marry him. If I said yes which I desperately wanted to, what would stop my father from shooting him there? If I said no I would probably hurt Tony and would lose him that way. I just realized that it was dark out, I had been sitting there most of the day. I got up and started walking towards my apartment. I guess I could have called a cab, but walking seemed nicer- more peaceful. Just me with the darkness wrapping around me.

I arrived at my apartment a little after 10:30 and when I opened my door- surprise!! Tony was there.
"Ziva oh my god where were you? I was soooo worried" he said
"Thinking- I was sitting and thinking" was all I said "What about my father?" I added
"He's gone. After you left he got up and said he was going back to Israel"
"Listen, Tony, I'm sorry I didn't have any choice"
"I know. I understand. I'm starting to think I'm an idiot for asking you when and where I did. Now Ziva will you forgive me? Forgive me for my stupidness?"
"Of course Tony how could I now when the stupid one is the one I love"
"Well that's good because I wasn't leaving"
Then we were on each other kissing. This kiss had more passion than the others. It was the perfect ending to the horrible day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE PRESENT
When I awoke a few lone tears fell down my face because I realized that he may never kiss me like that again. I glanced at the clock 9 am. I had slept longer than I thought. Then all of the sudden a brilliant thought popped into my head. The music did make me feel a little bit better and I do need something to do. Why don't I learn how to play the guitar? I walked over to my phone and called Gibbs' house.
"Hello" it was a feminine voice.
"Hi, it's Ziva" I said
"Oh Ziva do you want to talk to my uncle?"
"No actually I wanted to talk to you, but by the way where is Gibbs?"
"Oh he's in the basement working on a boat." at least some things never change.
"Well I wanted to ask you if I wanted to learn how to play the guitar would you help me pick one out and teach me how to play it?" I was kind of nervous asking her for help.
"Sure I'd be more than glad to" she sounded really excited.
"So I'll come over and get you then we can go to a music store?"
"Sounds good. I'll see you in a few minutes then?"
"Yes"
"Bye Ziva"
"Bye Casey"
I put the phone down. Got dressed hopped in my car and drove over there to get her.
In the car on the way over we were both mostly silent. Then we got to one of the music stores in town.
"Okay Ziva" she said "I guess it's time to start your career in guitar playing."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEROY JETHRO GIBBS

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

I was in my basement working on a boat when a voice called out
"Jethro- I'm so sorry" I spun around for I had not heard that voice for a little less than a year and I thought I would never hear it again.
"Jenny" I gasped

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

"What happened I thought you were dead." Okay I know that sounded a little blunt at the moment.
"I never died Jethro, I was in witness protection, but I raced here as soon as I heard and could get out of witness protection. By the way who died?"
"Vance" I replied
"Ah Vance how fitting"
"you sound happy"
"Well naturally I am. I can be your Director again."
"You mean to come out of witness protection?"
"I already have and the US Marshall is pretty mad at my right about now."

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

"Ah Jenny" was all I got out because then we were on each other. Her lips touching mine, mine touching hers. It was the way things were always suppose to be.

Nobody said it was easy
Oh its such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

"I love you Jethro" she whispered to me
"I love you too Jenny and I always have even if it took your death to make me realize that."
Many people like change, but for me, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, I prefer it when things stay the same.
