Chapter 13

Gibbs sighed; it would be over soon and pulled the door open.

"Director Shepard, what are you doing here?"

She pushed past him and walked into the room; he followed and waited for her to start the conversation.

"Call me Jenny when we're like this. We've been playing around too much and our relationship should move forward." She stroked her nails down his chest.

Gibbs took hold of her wrist and stepped back. "There is no relationship between us except a work one."

"Jethro, don't push me away because of fear. You want me."

"I don't want you."

She needed to make him remember Paris. "Your team, especially Agent DiNozzo clouds your mind with lies. Can't you see how they're pushing us apart? I don't like their influence. The team will separate if you aren't in control."

"Are you telling me if I start a romantic relationship with you that you won't split my team up?"

"I would feel happier." Jenny moved to kiss him.

Once more he stepped back. "That's sexual harassment."

"It's not harassment if you want me."

"I keep telling you I have no interest in a relationship with you." He replied getting angrier.

"Jethro, you don't want work to become difficult for you and your team do you? If you do things my way, do as I want and you'll be fine. You'll enjoy the sex."

Before she could say or do anything the door opened and in walked Vance followed by the younger agent.

"Did you get everything you need?"

"Yes, thank you Gibbs. Director Shepard, SecNav wants to talk to you in Washington." Vance ordered.

"You set me up." She spat at the man she wanted.

"This is your fault, you wouldn't take no for an answer. If you had none of this would've happened," DiNozzo argued.

"You've stolen him from me." Before she could reach out and grab him, Vance pulled her away.

Gibbs stepped forward to protect his guide.

"I'll talk to you both later." With that Vance pulled Shepard with him out of the room.

"I can protect myself, Jethro. I'm a trained federal agent and all." DiNozzo sighed

"I can't help it."

"Well, that is going to make work a little more difficult."

"I'll try to tone things down."

"I know you will, and whatever happens we'll deal with everything together."

"Are you sure you want to be the director?" Jarvis asked.

Tom Morrow smiled. "This is the right time." He needed to help protect sentinels and guides, which was the reason he moved to Homeland. He would do everything he could to keep Gibbs and DiNozzo safe.

"So what's it like being an agent?" Rachel tried to sound interested.

"Busy, but worthwhile," McGee answered.

"I bet it is how do you make time for friends and romance?"

"I don't date a lot, but I make time for someone special." A radiant smile on his face. "It helps to have friends where you work. They understand how difficult things can get."
