Chapter 6 - Jeanne's Return
Jeanne Benoit walking into the main entrance of NCIS at Washington Navy Yard it was only the second she had being. The last time she was here; she was here because of father's death.
After she had signed in she was on her way up to the bull pin because she was not allowed up to Tony's office as if was only for NCIS staff and agents.
Anthony Snr had moved in near DiNozzo House after retired 2 years ago. He would look after Sara, Jenni and Ben for Ziva and Tony while they were at work. The three kids were with Anthony Snr house.
Sara is now 5 and half, Jenni is now 3 and Ben is now 1.
The team did not any active cases today so again it was paperwork to do.
"Excuse me, Special Agent David?" said Jeanne, to Ziva when she saw her at her desk which was Tony's desk when he was a Senior Field Agent.
"It's Special Agent DiNozzo. I have not being Special Agent David for 2 years," replied Ziva
"Sorry," replied Jeanne
"May I help," said Ziva, then she look up and saw that it was Jeanne. "Jeanne, what for you doing here?" asked Ziva
"I would like to talk you and Tony if that is possible if you guys are not busy," she replied
"I am free but I believe Tony is in a meeting in MTAC," said Ziva
"Then can I talk you then," said Jeanne
"Sure, let's go to Tony's Office for quite then," said Ziva
"Ok then," said Jeanne
"Tim, I am going to go Tony's Office," asked Ziva to her boss.
"Sure take your time; we don't any active case but if dispatch call I will need you back," said McGee
"Sure boss," said Ziva
"Ok," replied McGee
"Boss, who is that women with Ziva?" asked Agent Hughes
"Jeanne Benoit. Now do that paperwork that I need 3 hours ago, thank you," said McGee
Tony's Assistant Office
"Special Agent DiNozzo, Assistant Director DiNozzo is in MTAC with Director Gibbs," said Tony's assistant Rebecca Wilson, as the women walked into Tony's Office area. Just like the Director Office area for Gibbs, Tony's had an assistant. Rebecca Wilson had a desk, a chair and filing cabinets in her room with two couches for visits for Tony. This room was little then the assistant of Director as the person was not as important as Taylor Bryant, the assistant to Director Gibbs. The other reason why this room was smaller was because this room a children area for the DiNozzo kids to play.
"I know where Assistant Director DiNozzo is Rebecca but I am going to use his office to speak with Ms. Benoit," said Ziva
"But Special Agent DiNozzo, you need to have permission from Assistant Director DiNozzo to use his office," said Rebecca
"Fine Rebecca call him then," said Ziva
Rebecca got onto the phone to MTAC
"MTAC, McAdams speaking,"
"Joey, it's Rebecca Wilson here, can I please speak with Assistant Director DiNozzo,"
"Rebecca, please wait, Assistant Director DiNozzo is busing talking with Director of FBI and Director Gibbs,"
"Ok,"
To Jeanne and Ziva
"Sorry I have to wait. He is busy,"
"Just give me the phone," said Ziva
"McAdams, Senior Field Agent DiNozzo here let me speak to Assistant Director DiNozzo now. If doesn't hurry up, tell him that I can still kill him 18 different ways with a paperclip," said Ziva
"Ok, Special Agent DiNozzo," said McAdams
A moment later Tony got onto the phone, "This is Assistant Director DiNozzo, how may I help you?" asked Tony
"Well, Assistant Director DiNozzo you give permission for your wife to borrow your office, so tell your assistant Miss Wilson to let in," said Ziva
"Ok, Special Agent DiNozzo, please pass the phone to Rebecca for me," said Tony
"Rebecca, my wife has permission to use my office when ever she wants to use it I am there, especially when I am in an important meeting with the FBI," said Tony
"Yes, Assistant Director DiNozzo," said Rebecca
"Good, tell Special Agent DiNozzo I will be back in 10 minutes," said Tony, then he hang up.
"Special Agent DiNozzo, you may use Assistant Director DiNozzo. He has told me that he will back and needing his office in 10 minutes," said Rebecca
"Ok sure," said Rebecca
Tony's Office
Ziva sat in Tony's desk chair and while Jeanne sat opposite in a chair in front of his desk.
"Jeanne, why are you here?" asked Ziva, as moved some of Tony's paperwork, you could tell that he was busy before the meeting in MTAC as he had lot of cases files opened on desk and reading them.
"Well I really would have liked to talk to both you and Tony but he is busy, I will talk what I came to see you about when he arrives," said Jeanne
"Well, we have 10 minutes, so let's talk about something then," said Ziva
"Ok, well how is Sara now?" asked Jeanne, as she thought to make small talk with Ziva.
"Sara is now 5 most 6. Now also Tony and I have two other kids, as you can on the wall, Jenni is 3 and Ben is 1," said Ziva, "Are you married or got any kids? Jeanne," asked Ziva
"Yes, I got 3 years ago to Police Officer named Jeff Ryan. We have twins. Rachel and Tyler, they are 18months old," said Jeanne
"What department is he from?" asked Ziva
"Jeff is an homicide detective with metro," replied Jeanne
"To think your ex is an ex-cop," said Ziva, as she thought Jeanne knew that Tony was ex-police officer, detective or homicide detective to correct.
"I know, I always said after John I would never go out with a police officer," said Jeanne
"John? John who?" asked Ziva, confused, as she meant Tony.
"My ex-finance, John Carson, he was an metro homicide detective," said Jeanne
"You mean, John Carson that was killed in the line of duty in early 2007?" asked Ziva
"Yes, did you know him?" asked Jeanne
"Yeah, we worked with metro on his last case. Actually Tony was John when he was killed, he had tried to save him, well tried to stop the bleeding that is," said Ziva
"Tony was there," said Jeanne
"Yes, they had became friends on that case, it had hit Tony hard," said Ziva
"It had hit me hard too. You were surprised when I just told you about John and you were the first one to bring up the fact that my ex was a cop. Who did you mean," replied Jeanne
"Tony," replied Ziva
"Tony was cop?" asked Jeanne
"Yes he was an homicide detective in Baltimore before he started at NCIS," said Ziva
"So I didn't know him all then. I would have never guessed that Tony was a cop or ever a federal agent," said Jeanne
"Well he was an undercover agent, so you are not supposed to know that he was an agent or former cop," said Ziva
"True, so Tony was a lot of photo up in here," said Jeanne
"Yes he does. In the squad room, we can pin up a few photos and have a few in frames on our desks but not that many. That was the first order of business for Tony was to put up the photos here," said Ziva
Tony's Office was set out that there a desk that went all the way along back wall. The desk had the purpose of a place to organize files in piles. It also had 5 computer monitors on it. So one side had the paperwork on it and the rest had the computer monitors. In the middle of the desk it had a special keyboard and a special mouse that you just click of a button to use which monitor you wanted. They included one had shown the different time zones and the times of the world, another one had a search engine opened (to search for anything you want too, the internet and etc.), another one had a computer program opened that shown the open and cold cases that NCIS have, another one had security camera for naval base and the last one was for a back up if there was a problem with any of the other monitors. Also on this desk had a printer. Under the desk it had all the towers, and two rows of books. Down half of the left side of the room had filing cabinet's full of case files. There were 6 filing cabinets in total and they all had 5 drawers each. 5 of them were full of case files and the last had the all forms you would need to run a federal agency. Down the rest of the left side it had single couch and bar area. The wall right in front of Tony's desk had to Wall LCD TV on it and poster about NCIS. There was a couch for two in the corner and another single couch, in the middle of the couches was an coffee table, near the double door entrance to the office. There also was another little coffee table in front of other couch. Ziva as got up from the chair to show Jeanne as a proud mother or proud wife would the pictures on Tony's wall. As she show Jeanne the pictures she point out who was in them. If photo was one early and young version of someone she would tell Jeanne the year the photo was taken and how old the person was in the photo. In front on the TV's was a conference table with 4 computer chairs around it. Tony's desk was huge L shape. The long side of it went along the side of the wall of the right of the office. Next to the door two wooden boxes that had toys for the kids in there. There were two chairs in front of Tony's desk for meeting.
"So can explain the entire photos on the wall," said Jeanne
"Ok sure, I will start near the day," said Ziva
"Ok," said Jeanne

Just then Tony walked and had a smile on his face but when he saw Jeanne seating in front of his desk and his wife seating in his chair at his desk. He lost his smile and went into professionally version of himself.
"Excuse me, Special Agent DiNozzo, why are you behind the desk of the Assistant Director?" asked Tony
"Well, he was not using it," she replied
"Special Agent DiNozzo, you are not going to use the excuse I used on Air Force One about the president of United States of America,"
"When you do that?" asked Jeanne
"September 2003, oh remember that was the day we met Secret Service Agent Caitlin Todd. She asked me what I was doing his chair," said Tony
"I thought Caitlin is an NCIS Special Agent?" asked Jeanne
"Was," replied Tony sadly
"What you mean 'was'," asked Jeanne
"Jeanne, Kate Todd was killed in the line of duty. Kate was right next to me when she was shot in the head," said Tony
"Kate Todd was an Secret Service Agent before she became an NCIS Special Agent," said Ziva
"Oh my, I am sorry," said Jeanne
"Thank you," replied Tony
"Jeanne, well Tony is here now so what did you want to talk to us about?" asked Ziva
"Well, I want to say how sorry I am about the accusing you of murdering my father. Just because I was upset, angry and that I hate you. I shouldn't accusing of crime that you didn't do," said Jeanne
"Jeanne that was 10 years ago, I had broke your heart. I had lied to you. I should be the one who should be sorry," said Tony
"You were just doing your job. You were following by your boss," said Jeanne
"I know but does mean I should followed the orders by Former Director Shepard and should have got so close to you," said Tony
"Well it happened and now we both have husband/ wife's and kids," said Jeanne
"You have kids?" asked Tony, as finally got to sit in his chair after Ziva got up and sat on his desk.
"Yes. Twins, a girl and boy, they are 18 months old now," said Jeanne proudly
"What are they names?" asked Tony
"Rachel Maria and Tyler Matthew Ryan," said Jeanne
"So let me guess, are you married to guy named Ryan?" asked Tony, Ziva hit on the head for saying that.
"Why did you do that for?" asked Tony, like he didn't know why she hit him.
"For being stupid, Anthony Dean DiNozzo," replied Ziva
"Please no full names, Former Mossad Officer, Senior Field Agent, Special Agent Ziva Anne David," replied Tony
"Ok then, Former Senior Homicide Detective, Former Senior Field Agent, Former Supervisory Field Agent, Assistant Director of NCIS; Assistant Director Anthony Dean DiNozzo," replied Ziva
"So Jeanne, who did you married?" asked Tony
"A homicide detective with metro named Jeff Ryan," replied Jeanne
"Oh, he is a great guy," said Tony
"How do you know him?" asked Jeanne
"Yes, I a case with him years; when he was a Probie. Plus now that I am a Assistant Director of an armed federal agency; I know most the LEO's around especially in D.C," said Tony
"Ok," replied Jeanne
"Special Agent DiNozzo, is all your paperwork up to date for McGee?" asked Tony
"Yes, Assistant Director," said Ziva
"Why? You two are married with three children and here at work you talk about ranking and calling each other Assistant Director or Special Agent," said Jeanne
"That is because here at NCIS, we are professionally and co-worker. At home we are a happily married couple with 3 great kids," said Tony
"Ok," said Jeanne
The phone rang
"Hello, NCIS Assistant Director DiNozzo, how may I help you?" asked Tony
