California Friends
It wasn't until James came along that the idea was cemented in Jen's mind: her sister is having an affair. Every time they talked about children, Heather would firmly state she was done with one, but four years ago, she made that announcement. But Jen never suspected who the man could be; she'd just gone on believing he was some nameless, faceless guy that was worth losing her marriage over.
When Jethro came to her, eagerly looking to go to California, alarm bells went off. She never suspected.
She never put the two together until just now.
From her vantage point on the stairs, she can hear DiNozzo loud and clear. He's telling stories to whoever will listen, and even then, whoever is within earshot.
"A friend of mine went to the conferences the Boss is at. Word on the street is that he's got a hot redhead he's friendly with. Apparently, she kinda looks like the Director," and with that, he cast a look up in her direction.
How many redheads who look like her live within the radius of an Air Force base and an NCIS conference? It all clicks. But still, she'll find out for certain. Turning on her heel, she ascends the stairs the rest of the way.
As she passes her assistants desk, she says, "Cynthia, get Agent McGee up here, please." She doesn't wait to hear the response.
A few minutes later, McGee is standing in front of her desk looking very much like he was called to the principals office and may pee his pants at any moment. She fixes him with one of her patented 'take no bullshit' looks.
"I have a project for you, Tim."
