Excellent Notes
Jenny caught up with Gibbs just before he hit the button for the elevator.
"Another case come up, Jen?" he asked.
She smiled. "No, Jethro. I came to give you this."
He took the official-looking folder with a scowl. "Not a case?"
"Nope," she said cheerfully. "Notes. From the sexual harassment seminar."
Gibbs's scowl deepened. "Not funny, Jen."
She grinned. "Really? Because I thought it was."
"Jen..."
He really was too much fun to tease, she thought, carefully replacing her 'director of a federal agency' expression.
"Jethro, whether you choose to accept it or not, there are still certain rules here at NCIS, and one of them is that when something is mandatory for all agents, that means that all agents have to attend.
"We had a case."
"Which got you out of the seminar," Jenny agreed. "But sexual harassment is a sensitive issue now, especially in government agencies."
Gibbs snorted. "You're worried about harassment complaints about my team? Even DiNozzo knows when to tone it down, and Ziva's more likely to threaten bodily harm than anything else. And the only person Abby has been harassing lately is McGee."
"And you?" she challenged.
"I'm thinking you should have paid more attention to that seminar, Jen."
It was her turn to scowl. "Jethro..."
"Just don't see the point, Jen," he replied. "This crap may mean something in an office somewhere, but us..."
Gibbs trailed off, but she wasn't about to let him off the hook. "What about us, Jethro?"
"I just think," he said slowly, "it shouldn't count as harassment if, you know, you mean it."
Okay, she had not been expecting that. "Jethro?" she asked hopefully.
"So, if I asked if you wanted to get a drink...?"
Jenny smiled. "I'd say yes. But you still have to read the seminar notes."
Gibbs took the file, but he was smiling, too. "I'll show you 'sexual harassment," he muttered.
She reached out to push the elevator button, purposely brushing against him as she did. "It's mandatory," she said again. "Read it, sign it, and you can start working on how to get out of next year's seminar."
"There's gonna be another one?"
Jenny smiled. "Don't push your luck, Jethro."
"All right, all right." The elevator doors opened, and they stepped inside. Gibbs glanced sideways at her. "You know, I was serious about that drink."
She glanced sideways back at him. "By 'drink', I'm guessing you mean 'bourbon in a mason jar'."
"Well...yeah."
Jenny's smile became a grin. "Sounds great."
