Seek and Destroy NCIS/Hawaii Five-0/The Sentinel Tibbs, McDanno

Chapter 4

Gibbs glared at her. He didn't believe in hitting women who were just annoying him. He had faced enough dangerous ones in his career, where force had to be used to save his life, or the lives of others. At the moment, he was tempted to change his view on women that annoyed him. That was when he remembered the story that concerned the governor of Hawaii and why he insisted the two of them go.

'Detective Williams is part of the Governor's personal task force. He wants to make sure that Williams isn't in any more danger, or to help eliminate the threat if there is one. We were asked to go because of what happened to Tony, was the same thing that happened to the detective. I'm going to make sure Tony is safe, and that it doesn't happen again.'

Jenny just stared at him. It sounded believable, but there was something that seemed off. In her younger days, she would call it her bullshit detector. She was sure that there was more going on that was being said.

'There's no problem with DiNozzo going, but if an emergency comes up, you're going to have to stay. I could send Ziva with him instead. She has the skillset that would be able to protect him.' Jenny smirked believing that she had finally gotten her way.

Gibbs narrowed his now ice cold blue eyes at her. He hated playing games, he always had. Jenny couldn't seem to understand that he was not interested in her at all. If the sentinel and guide thing hadn't happened, he still wouldn't' have gotten involved in her. Not after how she left him last time. It was probably a good thing in the long run; it would have ended up him having an extra divorce.

'If you do that Tony and I will both be handing in our resignations. Then you can explain why we both resigned.' He replied coolly.

Jenny's mouth fell open. She slammed it closed as soon as she recovered from that little bombshell. This was something that never even occurred to her. Both men were workaholics; they had no life outside of NCIS. The majority of the people they truly cared about worked here. It had obviously been something that the two men discussed before Gibbs came in here. They knew how she thought, and what plans she would come up with. Jenny hated being that predictable.

'Jethro you have to be kidding? You'd give up everything for this case, for him?'

'First of all its Special Agent Gibbs, and not Jethro. This meeting is about a case, and not a personal chat between friends. Something we have never been. Secondly I've tried to make you understand that there will never, ever be anything of a romantic nature between us. Thirdly, yes I would give everything up for him, for all of them. They are more than my team, they are my family.' He would do almost anything for his team, but Tony he would do anything for. Gibbs didn't want to give her any reason to try and split them up. If she did, they would hand in their resignations. Tony was his guide; he was the most important person in the world to him. Protecting him was at the very top of the list. He was above everyone else, and that included the president of the United States. Gibbs knew that he wouldn't be able to carry on without the younger man.

Jenny couldn't believe what she was hearing. She always had tough that once he got past his anger, those old feelings would resurface. Even now she actually did believe that given the chance he would love her again, that in some way he was still in love with her. There was no doubt in her mind that they were meant to be together. Jenny had the job she wanted that she deserved. That had been the reason she had left him all those years ago. All she needed now was the man she loved, the only one that she had truly loved. When whoever had taken, DiNozzo was dealt with they could all move on. Jethro had always been over-protective about his team. Jenny ignored the little voice in the back of her mind telling her it was more than that with DiNozzo.

'Fine, you two can go. Do we have a timescale on when you'll be back?' Jenny asked sarcastically.

'Not at the moment, as soon as we know what is going on we'll tell you.' Gibbs pasted a smile onto his face.
