Authors' Note:

We had so much fun writing Lover's Leap that we have decided to dive straight into our next collaboration immediately.

In writing together we also discovered that there's much fun to be had borrowing dialogue from the show and manipulating it. So lets play a game. We'll all it 'spot the quote'. Of course the contexts will be different - but that's the fun of AU.

We should point out that the team is split up here. Why really isn't important – we're just going with the fact that they are. In fact it is likely that only Tony will appear in this story.

The bottom line is the same for this fourth story in the series – Jen and Jethro never worked together. in this particular story Jen doesn't work for NCIS at all, in fact.

So ... enjoy.

We look forward to hearing from you.
