A/N: So i just started watching NCIS like the day of the season 5 finale…and now im completely hooked. Trust me I just about cried when the director died and ive only seen a few episodes. Anyways…..after watching that epi I totally picked up on the UST between Gibbs and the Director…and I had mi amigo fill me in on the earlier epi details…and this my friends is the product of a new found obsession.

Oh right the disclaimer…sadly I don't own NCIS but if I did…oh buddy I would totally give the viewers what they want b/c that's who really matters.

Tony and Ziva pull up in front of the diner. Ziva looks forward.

"Where have we seen that car?" She says.

"THE GAS STATION" They say together. They quickly get out of the car and make their way to the diner with their guns drawn. Ziva notices the window was shot and slowly and carefully the duo makes their way inside. Once inside they see the remnants of what appeared to be a nasty gun fight. They see four bodies right away and walk around to see if they see more. Ziva heads to the left while Tony goes right. When she comes to a clearing she looks down and notices another body.

"Tony come here." Ziva says a little worried while looking down at the clothes of one Jennifer Shepard. Tony comes over.

"Do you think its…"

"There is only one way to find out." Tony says interrupting Ziva. He bends down and gently turns the body over and gasps. "Ziva…she's not here."

/phone rings/

"But obviously her phone is. It's an unknown caller…should I pick it up?" Tony asks.

"Pick up the damn phone Tony."

"Hello" He says into the phone before putting it on speaker.

'Well I at least thought Jethro would be there'

"Director?" Ziva and Tony say at the same time.

"Are you ok?" Ziva asks recovering first from shock.

'Yes I am fine just a few flesh wounds. Ziva how many bodies are there?'

"We counted five, why?"

'Just a precaution. Is there anyway you can contact Jethro and have him and Ducky meet me at his house in 1 hour?'

"Is there something I should tell them Jenny?" Ziva asks concerned for her friend.

'Actually can you tell Ducky to stop by the school? He knows what to do and tell him not to tell Jethro anything until we meet up. Oh and tell them not to let anyone else know I'm still alive. Not yet at least.' With that she hung up the phone.

Ziva and Tony look at each other then back down at the phone.

"So who is going to call Boss?" Tony says breaking the silence.

"It's not going to be me. Aren't you always blaming that you are senior agent?" Ziva says

"Its bragging Zee-vah" Tony says sarcastically. "But this is like telling him that I just got his wife almost killed…thas a totally different ball game."

"How about this Tony, either you do this or I shoot you in the place of my choice." Ziva says while aiming her gun.

Tony gulps. "No I think I'll do it." He turns his attention down to the Director's phone and begins dialing Gibbs number but is interrupted by an incoming call. "Speak of the devil" he mutters to himself.

'Jen. Jen?'

"Um… boss sorry."

'DiNozzo there better be a damn good explanation as to why you are answering the Director's phone.'

"Well boss you see…"

'Today DiNozzo.'

"We were given orders by the Director not to follow her then she disappeared. When we finally got a location on her phone...she was…well"

'Spit it out already'

Ziva takes the phone. "She was gone already Gibbs."

'Gone? As in dead?'

"Gone as in not here Gibbs. But she did call and told me to tell you that you and Ducky need to meet her at your house in 1 hour. Tell Ducky that she asked for him to stop by the school, he knows what to do. And Gibbs…"

'Yes Ziva'

"She wants people to think she's dead"

'Did she say why?'

"No"

'Well then I am just going to have to find out aren't I? DiNozzo…'

Ziva hands the phone back to Tony. "Yes boss"

'I'm going to call the locals and let them know of the situation. I am going to tell them that one of the bodies there is the Director. And I want you two here as soon as possible."

"Yes sir. But boss can I just…" he looks at Ziva. "He hung up"

"I would have too. So what did he say Tony?"

"We have to be back at HQ as soon as possible. The locals are going to take care of this…for now." He heads towards the door with Ziva following a few steps behind.

Jenny stands with her back against the wall for a few minutes after her conversation with Tony. She's changed into jeans, a long sleeve shirt, a hat, and sunglasses to cover up her identity. She heads out of Dulles airport and waits for a cab, which doesn't take too long, and before she knows it she's in front of Jethro's house. She lets herself in and waits in the basement.

"I hope I did the right thing" she whispers to herself then lays back to wait for Ducky and Jethro.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

"Jethro pull over here. I need to go pick up something." Ducky says pointing to the school they were about to pass.

"Duck, why are we here?" Jethro asks eager to get to his house.

"In due time my friend." Ducky says before getting out. Ducky walks into the school and heads towards the main office. "I'm here to pick up Izzy Shepard."

"We'll have her paged and sent here sir if you could wait a few minutes." The secretary tells him.

Ducky nods and sits down. A few minutes later a short red head is standing in front of him.

"What happened Uncle Ducky?" she asks looking up at him.

"I don't know yet Izzy but we are going to find out. Let's go." He leads her out with hid hand on her shoulder.

Back at the car Jethro is growing impatient. "Come on Duck it's almost been an hour." The door opens and a little girl gets in followed by Ducky.

"Ducky, who is this?" he asks looking the young red head.

"This is Isabelle or rather Izzy. And I'm afraid that's all I can tell you for now. Now let's hurry and get to your house we don't want to keep your guest waiting."

Gibbs looks in the rear view mirror one last time then drives off towards his house.

Jenny hears a commotion upstairs. She gets off the couch and walks up the stairs. When she gets to the door she hears a very loud 'MOMMY!' being yelled before she is smothered by her 8 year old daughter.

"Mommy?"
