It was a cold morning in D.C. and Leroy Jethro Gibbs was not happy. He was going to be late, he should've known that if his grumpy teenage daughter was going to work with him she would take her sweet time.

"Kelly Gibbs, you better be ready when I get there!" Gibbs said rushing up the stairs to her room.

"Well if you didn't want to be late you shouldn't force me to go with you. You know I'm more than able to stay home alone." She said as she finished her make up.

Sighing Gibbs just predicted how difficult this morning would be. "Hurry up, we're living in 5." And stormed off her bedroom and ran to grab his files on his way to the car.

On his way to work he decided to stop at that small coffee shop he had never been to.

"What do you want?" asked Gibbs grumpily. "Whatever, I'm gonna sleep as soon as I get there anyway." Mumbled her.

Making a mental note to never go back again there Leroy Jethro Gibbs was not happy and, honestly, Kelly's sighs and mumbles were starting to get on his nerves.

"Cynthia, where's DiNozzo's team?"

"In Alexandria, Director Gibbs. They left just as soon as you got here."

"And Abby, what is she doing?" please be here please be here was all he could think of.

"Sorry sir, but she isn't here either. She's in court today, the stalker case remember? But... I take Kelly doesn't want to be here and you're looking for a distraction..? Well, doctor Shepard would be more than happy to have some company...I think...sir." God bless Cynthia for knowing him so well, he should give her a raise.

"Take her there please and tell her I'll go pick her up for lunch at noon." Said Gibbs with an air of relief.

Going with her Kelly felt a little bit happy, at least she was going to stay with Abby. Okay, something is wrong here. "Cynthia, this isn't the way to the lab...where are we going?!"

"Miss Gibbs, Abby is in court, the team is out of town and...well, the only one available is Doctor Shepard. We're on our way down to the morgue."

"WHAT?! Dad will leave me in a room full of dead people! Oh you gotta be kidding me right?!" This was gonna be a crap of a morning, really dude.

"I understand you are angry but trust me she is awesome. And you wanna be a doctor, right? Think of it as a good experience!"

Entering the morgue Kelly thought it was kind of scary, mostly because of the weird song it was playing, she was sure she never heard anything that dark and boring and old.

"Mister Palmer, isn't the Lacrimosa the most beautiful réquiem you ever heard? It's part of the Dies Irae. The best version is Mozart's don't you agree? It's sad but at the same time makes you feel some sort of grandiosity. Right?" Said Jenny as she turned around and saw that it definitely wasn't Palmer. "Oh, Cynthia hello. And you... I don't believe we met. Jenny Shepard. I'm the ME here. And you are?"

"Kelly Gibbs, nice to meet you." She was...pretty, redheaded, green eyes...her father's kinda woman.

"Doctor, the director asked if you could show Kelly around. He'll pick her up at noon and she won't give you any trouble and she wants to be a doctor so..." Said Cynthia hoping she wouldn't say no, but she knew Jenny and knew she was a gentle soul who wouldn't say no.

"Sure, don't worry. We'll have fun together. And well...it's always nice to meet young wannabe doctors, they're so full of enthusiasm! There are some scrubs in that locker, pick one and change, honey." The daughter of the director, this could be interesting, was she as...singular...as him?

"Okay, thanks again Jenny. I have to go but you two have fun!"

The morgue was not as dark as Kelly pictured in her head, it was nice, peaceful except for the weird music in the background. This Jenny seemed nice enough, she was starting to like her day. Plus she would practice a little bit of medicine. Or so she hoped. Deciding to go with the pink scrubs, she thought she was cute.

Jenny was in need of help since Palmer went MIA and she still had 4 bodies to analyze. Where was the girl? Had the bodies scared her and she went hiding? Come on, she was even sympathetic!

"Hey, what do you want me to do? I need to say that I have a very Strong stomach so I can deal with blood and guts...so like you know... you don't have to worry or anything like it ok?" oh god, nice one Kelly Gibbs, now she'll think you're a moron.

"Well if you say so, can you come closer? I don't bite! " Way to go, Jenny, she's a teen she'll think you're retarded or something. "See this? The marks are pointing that this victim was being poisoned with cyanide. The killer was impatient enough, the cyanide kills very fast and it's very, very dangerous."

"I can't imagine what it takes for someone to kill. Like, I mean, you're gonna destroy your life for like revenge?! Get it doctor Shepard?"

"Call me Jenny, Kelly. Well, the human mind is very complex indeed. But the sad is the cases with children. Died so early and they haven't even lived. Breaks my heart. But well...if you want to be a doctor you'll have to learn to face death, not as something so horrible."

"What do you mean? Like I can't see a positive side of dying is supposed to be sad, the saddest day ever of your life."

"Not always, in some cases is rest, Kelly. You'll see when you become a doctor."

"Why did you become a medical examiner? I mean nothing against it, but like... they're like already dead and isn't medicine supposed to cure and prevent people from dying?"

"I Always had some sort of obsession with death, ever since I was just a little girl. It all started with The Addams Family and the Poe, Lovecraft and I felt that it was a mystery worth research." Great Jennifer, now she will think you are a weirdo. "But I wasn't always an ME, I was a surgeon. But you know...life happens and it can make you change your mind."

And so the time went flying and Kelly started to really like Jenny, she was so nice and so smart. And she was reminding her of someone she knew she just wasn't quite remembering who. That is till she found a bottle of Bourbon in a cabinet near the doctor's desk and it all came clear, Jenny was the female version of her dad! Oh my god, and she was a redhead, a pretty one, and she was nice opposite to Diane, that evil queen. Was Jenny single? Her dad was in need of a lady friend, even though he said not. Oh my god she just had to tell Abby, she would definitely help put those two together. Okay, small talk time!

"So Jenny, do you have kids? Because omg NCIS can be hard on a parent right?"

"It can but I don't have children. I have dogs though and they're really cute."

"You're like all single and alone with your dogs?" damn Kelly be subtle!

"Well, it's not as depressing as it sounds, really someday you'll realize that some dogs are better than men!" said Jenny laughing lightly.

"Oh, I Always wanted a dog, but dad said that he didn't have the time to take care of one and I wasn't responsible enough. But it's cool now, he was right."

And it was noon and Gibbs went to get her praying she didn't cause any trouble, his morning was bad enough as it was he really didn't need to add Kelly's tantrum's to his bad mood. He almost didn't believe his ears, that was Kelly laughing and actually helping the ME.

"Hey Kelly, time for lunch. Hello, doctor." What a beautiful woman and well she was still in scrubs. Stop thinking like this, she works for you, well no actually for you but well there's rule 12. And why did you forget her name?! You moron!

"Hi dad, I stayed out of trouble and really helped Jenny!" ok, note to myself: dad seemed to find her attractive, this might not be so hard after all.

"Hello director..., she... was really of help. She'll be a good doctor... Well...bye Kelly it was really nice our time together." Oh god, what beautiful pair of blue eyes, how come had she never noticed it?! And really Jennifer couldn't you have formed better phrases?!

"Look Jenny don't you wanna come with us? It'll make lunch less boring." Please say yes jenny

"Oh no Kelly thanks, but I didn't want to intrude."

"You wouldn't be, let's go... well only if you want to of course. But it would be and...yeah" Leroy Jethro Gibbs was feeling like a stupid sixteen-year-old boy who was asking a girl to Prom.

"Well...I don't know..."

"C'mon Jeennyy let's! Let's let's let's!"

"Okay then, let me go change. Just 1 sec."
