Gabriel's POV

Location: NCIS Main Building

As I was walking the short distance from the security desk to the bullpen I thought about how great it will be to see my sister again after all these years. It has been years since I last saw my family or even talked to them. I sure missed them while I was stuck in England. At the thought of England my thoughts turned into curses.

'Damn Dumbledore. Damn the Ministry. Damn the entire Wizarding World. Why did I have to save them. It wasn't my responsibility. I'm not even an British citizen damn it. I was an unfortunate American that was kidnapped by Albus to many fricken names Dumbledore and dropped on the Potter's doorstep in the middle of the night. Seriously who does that anymore. Why. Why me. Calm yourself Gabriel. Deep breaths. They are not worth getting worked up over. Screw that. They took my whole life away from me. Years that I could have spent with my family I spent at the Dursley's being abused and treated as a slave. It's so not fair.'

I was broken out of these cursed thoughts as my name was called by Alec.

"Gabe. Gabe. Gabriel are you okay?" He asked. I looked up and met his eyes and said "Yeah. Yeah I'm ok. Just some unpleasant thoughts." He didn't look convinced, but nodded anyway.

"Ok, but those must have been some pretty bad thoughts for you to stand here for almost 10 minutes with your arms crossed and a scowl on your face." He said with a slight smirk.

"Hn." I said "Well they were not something I wanted to think about ever again, but unfortunately I know those thoughts will pop up again somehow." He nodded silently in agreement saying "True. That does tend to happen with things that you don't want to think about."

"Tell me about it" I said.

We continued on our way to the bullpen and as it came into sight I saw her. Brown hair flowing down her back wearing a green shirt with a blue stripe around the middle and black trousers. I couldn't see anything else about her as she had her back to also seemed to be arguing with the male sitting across from her.

"What do you think they are arguing about?" Alec asked me quietly as we grew closer to the arguing duo. "Not a clue." I responded back just as quietly as we kept walking closer. When we got close enough we could hear parts of their argument from what I could hear I didn't want to know what they were arguing about.

"Selfish pig"

"Better a pig than whatever you are"

Kate paused a moment before saying "You are such an idiot"

Before the male could respond and elderly looking gentleman came in and smacked them both around the head. I winced remembering when my commanding officer would do that to us when we didn't follow his orders to his specifications. From the look on Alec's face he was remembering the same thing.

. . . . Flashback . . . .

"Todd what the hell are you doing!" shouted Commander Dillinger as he came stalking up to me reminding me very much of my old potions professor Severus Snape.

Huh. Snape was a bastard, but he did help me escape when he learned that the Potters were not really my parents and an American citizen that Dumbledore kidnapped at a young age.

Commander Dillinger slapped the back of my head and shouted "GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS AND GET YOUR ASS MOVING PIPSQUEAK OR THERE IS NO SUPPER FOR YOU TONIGHT!"

"Yes sir, Commander." I shouted in reply to his loud yelling in my ear.

. . . . End Flashback . . . .

It was quite the surprise that no one in my regiment is deaf because of his constant yelling in our ears. I shook my head in remembrance seriously how are we supposed to complete his demands if we are deaf because of him in the first place. I was broken out of my reminiscent thoughts by a hard nudge to my ribs courtesy of Alec.

"Hn. What the hell was that for?" I asked him furiously. He smirked back at me with this smug smirk that for some reason really bothered me.

"Thinking about Dillinger?" He asked

"Yep. He would do the same thing to us while screaming in our ears to get our asses moving to complete his commands." I replied back to his question.

"Indeed he would. Wonder what he would think of us now?" He wondered. I shrugged and with an uncaring air in my voice replied "Don't know, don't care."

"Thats kind of harsh Gabe" I just shrugged in reply.

"I was also thinking about how surprising it was that none of us became deaf nor got brain damage during that hell Dillinger call boot camp."

"Very true he did seem to yell at the top of his lungs right in our ears and slap us round the head as hard as he could without killing us or getting in trouble.

While we were talking we never noticed how we walked steadily closer to the Bullpen and how our conversation caught the attention of the three NCIS agents there.

The next thing I know is that I am on the ground with something heavy on my chest and a yell of 'Gabriel!' In my ear. I hear Alec's laughter and I glare at him. He stops laughing and turns away. I could still hear his chuckles though. I look at what's on my chest and as I suspected it's Kate.

"Nice to see you to Kate." I tell her with a small smile. She let go and slaps the back of my head and yells "YOU IDIOT!" Do you have any idea how worried we were when we heard about what you did?" I looked at her confused and asked "Um… What did I do that had you so worried?" She glared and I took a step back not wanting to be hit again. She took a deep breath and said calmly " You worried us half to death with that letter."

"Which one?" I asked confused, "I sent you guys a lot of letters Kate." She growled at me.

"The one that basically said

Dear Kate and Family,

Just escaped England. Heading to America. Enrolling in college then joining the Military. I will contact you when I can.

Love,

Gabriel

July 31, 1998"

I looked at her in shock. "You actually remember what it said?" I asked her.

"Of course I remember that letter. Everybody in the family remembers that letter Gabe." She told me.

"I didn't go straight away. I came and visited you guys before I went to college" I told her.

"Ya you visited for a week Gabe. That's not enough time to get to know you again."

It was at this point that our audience had enough. We jumped at the sound of a clearing throat.

Gibbs POV

Location: NCIS Main Building

I looked up from the two arguing agents when I heard voices coming closer. I heard Kate gasp. I looked over at her, she was looking at one of the men coming towards us with tears in her eyes and a look of hope on her face. As the two men grew nearer I heard them talking about some man named Dillinger and how he liked to yell in people's ears and smack them on the back of the head.

'I wonder if they are talking about Tobias Dillinger?' I thought while watching the two approach. 'If they are I remember him. He was a pain in the ass when I was in the marine corps. If I remember correctly he went into boot camp about 5 years after I left. According to Demetri Peterson he was constantly yelling, even though there was nothing to be yelling about.' I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw a blur go by me and heard the sound of someone falling to the ground. I was shocked when I heard Kate yell "Gabriel" in the ear of the young man on the ground.

"Nice to see you Kate." he tells her; still on the ground. She slaps him and yells- well more like screams at him "YOU IDIOT!" Do you have any idea how worried we were when we heard what you did?"

Now this had me curious and from the look on Tony's face him too. The young man looked down at Kate with confusion and asked with slight hesitation, "Um… What did I do that had you so worried?"

I didn't blame him for being hesitant and backing away slightly from the angry agent when she glared at him. I saw Kate take a deep breath, probably so she wouldn't blow up at 'Gabriel' and said with a false calm voice " You worried us half to death with that letter."

"Which one?" he asked confused, "I sent you guys a lot of letters Kate." She growled at the young man. I have to admit that growl made me want to step back. She growled and said "The one that basically said" started to recite said letter.

"Dear Kate and Family,

Just escaped England. Heading to America. Enrolling in college then joining the Military. I will contact you when I can.

Love,

Gabriel

July 31, 1998"

'Wow,' I thought, 'No wonder she's this mad at him. If I did that to Shannon while in the Corps she would never let me go back. No matter what my commanding officer said.' While stuck in thoughts I missed what they were talking about after she recited the short letter from 'Gabriel'. I looked back up when the raised voice of Kate telling the young man that a week of visiting was not enough to get to know him again. 'Again. What does she mean again?' I silently questioned myself.

When it seemed like he was going to say something that would make this argument last longer I cleared my throat to remind them that there were others there with them. They both jumped like they had forgotten that we were here.

Alec's POV

Location: NCIS Main Building

I started laughing when I saw Gabe go down with a surprised look on his face. The shout of Gabriel by the flying missile said that the one who tackled him was his sister. I couldn't stop laughing. This was too funny.

My laughing turned into a chuckle when I saw him glaring at me. After being let up by Kate she slapped him and started yelling at him. I felt bad for him. Go see your sister for the first time in years and get yelled at for your efforts. I stood back to watch the show next to the other two agents also watching what was going on between the two.

Eventually it seemed that the older gentleman had had enough of the two fighting and decided to break them up. He cleared his throat. It was amusing watching the arguing siblings jump. It seems that they had forgotten there were others in the room.
