A Victim

Chap 13

Alexis' POV
As soon as I heard that front door close I ran up to my room and showered. I got dressed in a galaxy skater dress, black leather high heel boots, and a black leather jacket. I put my phone and my credentials in my pocket. I put on my belt and clipped my gun and cuffs on it. I did my hair and makeup. When I thought everything was perfect, I went to the kitchen and made me a glass of orange juice. I saw a note and a car key.
Note: Alexis, you probably had one of your team members drop you of this morning. Well, here's a car of your own. A 2013 black Chevy camaro. Take good care of the car. Love, Dad.
"Thanks Dad," I smiled as I grabbed the keys. I got into my car and drove to NCIS. I went to the this floor and walked to my Dad's team. "Good morning lovely people."
Tony got up and looked at me. "She's happy and her pupils are dilated," Tony observed. "She must be in love."
"With my camaro Dad got me," I smiled. "Oh, and my new job, of course." I held my credentials in front of Tony's face. "That's right, I'm a federal agent now."
"Alexis, what time did you get in?" Dad asked.
"2am," I sighed. "Girl slit her wrists and it was bad." I shrugged. "Comes with the career."
"We don't deal with people that are alive," Ziva nodded. "Unless they're suspects."
"Tony," I sighed. He looked at me and I whacked him in the back of his head. "You're welcome."
"What was that for?" Tony asked.
"Telling my dad that we were a couple," I crossed my arms.
"But we are," Tony urged.
"No, we aren't," I nodded. "I think I would know who my boyfriend is and ---" My phone started ringing. I got it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID. "Ohh and that's my boyfriend right now." I smiled at Tony and picked up. "Hey Blake."
"Hey, do you wanna hang out?" Blake asked.
"I'm on the Navy Base," I sighed. "Hold on." I looked at Dad. "Dad, can Blake come and hang out with me?"
"Yeah," Dad said. He hit his computer. "McGee!"
"Don't shoot," McGee said as he went to Dad's computer. "Let me see this."
"Dad said yeah and I'm on the third floor," I smiled and hung up. "Everything okay?"
"He hates the computer even on days it's working," Ziva nodded.
I saw Blake walk in. "Hey," I smiled as we hugged. "What's up?"
"Arely's hanging with Drew so I decided to come and hang with you," Blake nodded standing to my left. He put his right arm around me and clasps hands with my right hand. "Are you staying here all day?"
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Fix the damn thing McGee," Dad said walking away.
"I'll try, boss," McGee sighed.
"That's something I don't ever hear coming from a MIT's mouth," I states looking at McGee. "What's going on?"
"There's a binary code that hidden in the sequence and it's hard to figure out," McGee said typing rapidly. "I'm not that great at fixing this."
"Maybe I can," I sighed. I let go of Blake. McGee let me sit down. After ten minutes, I typed in a code and it worked. I smiled. "Done."
"Wow, maybe you should come and work here," Tony nodded.
"No way is that happening," I nodded. "No, no, no, no, no."
"Stop that guy!" Abby shouted. Within a split second, I was in front of the guy. He tried to hit me with the bag. I ducked and got back up. I punched him in the jaw and swiped my leg under him. I grabbed the bag and Abby walked over to me. "Thanks Alexis."
"You're under arrest for assaulting a federal agent," Tony said cuffing the guy.
"Whoa, I didn't know she's a federal agent, man," the guy stated.
Tony and the guy walked off. "How'd you know what he was going to do?" Ziva asked.
"Well, that's Abby's evidence and no one messes with Abby," I smiled. "Plus, impulses and you for remember. Robbers tend to do the most obvious things."
"I gotta go and see if the evidence haven't been tampered with," Abby smiled as she left.
"Blake," I sighed. I pulled him to the break room and we sat down. "I need to talk to you."
"Oh no," Blake sighed. "Arely told you, didn't she?"
"Yeah," I nodded. "That's kind of the reason why I wanted to keep things until Christmas and why Barry was the cover up yesterday."
"Alexis, I don't want you to choose the life on the road because of me," Blake smiled. "You need to focus on your life and what you want to do. I saw the way you took down that guy out there." I nodded. "You enjoy your life to put it on the line and take down the criminal."
"Blake, whatever decision I choose, it's not because of you," I nodded. "My dad was a Marine and even if he was away from home months at a time, he still had a relationship with my mom and still had me." I held Blake's hand. "Our relationship is just like my parents."
