Gibbs went back into the room sitting on his side of the bed while setting his alarm "Look, don't worry about the man downstairs, one way or another he would've died. You're probably right, he wouldn't have dropped the gun, whatever he was doing downstairs is what he knows. For now just get some sleep" Gibbs had turned to ruffle the boy's hair and smile at him to calm him down, he was treating him just like anyone else, minus his team. Abby was a different story. She was like a daughter to him.

Gibbs laid down and went to sleep not facing the boy, but, before he fell asleep he said "Wake me if you decide to leave the room this time" he sounded a tad annoyed there. The night went by, nothing else happened, Gibbs had thought more about that little girl and wondered why she had shown up and disappeared like she had. The next morning came, Gibbs hated the mornings, nights were better usually. He got up and went to take a hot shower, it was good to wake up, luckily before the shower he had started the coffee to get it going. Coffee always took awhile to make.

He figured that they could stop somewhere for breakfast, Gibbs would have at least a couple cups of coffee in the morning, sometimes through out the day depending on the assignment. When he walked out of the shower in his pants, and shoes. He had forgotten all about his shirt and went back into his room to go through the closet as the sun shown through the bathroom and into his room.

Jasper couldn't sleep the whole night. He kept thinking about that man. He hadn't meant to kill him. Well, he had meant to kill him, but he hadn't thought about it. He curled into a little ball, hearing annoyance in Gibbs' voice. He hadn't meant to be so much trouble either. He tried to hold back tears that threatened to come out, but a few escaped anyway. The good thing was, Gibbs was turned the other way. He couldn't see him.

By the time Jasper fell asleep, it was only ten minutes before they had to be up. He heard Gibbs in the shower and peaked an eye open. He saw Gibbs' half naked form and gasped a little. He was used to seeing the half naked bodies of the scrawny boys his own age, but this was a mature, sexy man. He closed his eyes tightly and his face flushed.

Gibbs pulled out his usual shirt and jacket putting it on "You going to sleep all day or are you going to get up?" Gibbs asked a bit of smile on his face, he liked to take showers, they always did relax him. He walked over to the bed putting socks and shoes on. "Oh, you're going to need some clean clothes, let's see what I can find" it would've been easier if he had a son, but, he did have a daughter so nothing here was easy. Gibbs went through the bottom of his closet and found a box of older clothes before he went into his line of work. Mostly anything comfortable or that he would wear at home, but, these had become a bit too small for his tastes. "Here" placing the box on the bed "Shower and change, I'll be down the hall in the kitchen waiting for you. If you hurry we can stop for breakfast, you have one hour" Gibbs stated going into the kitchen and pouring himself a cup of coffee.

Jasper didn't have to be told twice. He got up and scurried to the shower, bathing himself well so that he smelled pleasant. Even these smaller clothes were a bit baggy on someone as small as Jasper was. He was done getting dressed in about twenty minutes and he ran down to were he knew Gibbs was waiting on him. "I may not be ze manliest of men, but I do not take a hour to get ready." He was smiling in an attempt to fool Gibbs into thinking he was happy. His eyes told a different story though. Worst of all, his eyes were dull and he had bags under his eyes. He looked a bit older due to the stress he was now dealing with since this whole murder thing.

"Well, that's alright, it gives us more time to grab something along the way" Gibbs stated figured they could go out since he didn't make breakfast anymore with his little girl gone. "Come on" Gibbs stated (what season is this, like autumn, winter, summer, spring?) "I'm sure you have to be hungry or getting to be hungry soon" He stated as he grabbed his keys and already had his gun put away on him. He took the thing with him every where he went, even in a store, whether or not it was allowed.

(let's say Fall. That's my favorite season.)

Jasper nodded and followed Gibbs who had just grabbed his keys, clearly ready to leave. He got in the car and strapped on the seatbelt before turning to Gibbs and smiling. "Look, danke for everything. I mean it. I am thankful that you are protecting me, even if I don't show it in ze best of ways." he wanted Gibbs to know how he felt. No one had been so kind or cared so much about him before. It was astonishing. He wished he'd ways had someone like this. Lately he'd just been used for modeling and things that really didn't matter all that much. The only reason anyone wanted anything to do with him was because he was rich. This guy didn't seem to care about money or looks. Hd was just kind. Then again, that was just his job. Still, he wanted to believe I his own fantasy.

(*hugs you* I can so relate to that, I dont like summer too hot, better than winter (I HATE the cold), and spring bores me lol)

"Sie sind herzlich willkommen, auch wenn es nicht mein job würde ich immer noch schutzen sie" Gibbs spoke, in translation that would mean [you are welcome, even if this wasn't my job I would still protect you] Gibbs knew his fair share of the German language, he needed to in order to be this good at his job. However, when he said he would still protect Jasper, he meant that because he would protect anyone who would ever need it. They drove to a small, local coffee shop and Gibbs parked the car. "We'll eat here and then head to work" he stated wanting the coffee.

Hearing his original lauguage made him smile. He got out of the car and went into the coffee shop. It was small, but cozy. "I like it here." He admitted. He sat at a booth, looking around. He'd seriously never been somewhere like this before. He always ate with the others from his job and they wanted to go to expensive, overly fancy places. He was glad he could just relax here. He looked at the young waitress who was staring at him. He cleared his throat. "um....." He tried not to notice it. She was maybe sixteen, and she really couldn't keep her eyes to herself. He gulped as she walked over. "Can I help you gentlemen?"

"One coffee" Gibbs stated as he looked over at Jasper asking "What do you want?" he didn't know if he would know much about the menu at this place, but, there was a small one to look over. Gibbs noticed the waitress was new it seemed, he knew most of them here at the cafe, and she was surely someone new. "Jasper?" he asked again noticing that he took a german celeb pretty much in a local small cafe. Not thinking someone might know him somehow or just like him for his looks. Gibbs sighed, this was going to be annoying if he didn't do something soon. So he had an idea.

Jasper was feeling on edge and kind of nervous. "Um. I want a chocolate milk." He said quietly, making the girl blush and giggle. He looked at Gibbs with an expression that said. 'Help me.' he wasn't sure what was up with that girl, but it was going to drive him nuts in a moment. She left to go get them the drinks and he let out a breath he handy realized he'd been holding. "That girl. She scares me." He admitted. "She stares to much.. " He wondered if that made him sound snobbish. He wasn't trying to be mean, he just didn't like to be stared at. "Maybe she just hasn't ever seem a German before." He tried to convince himself that was it, but he knew or wasn't.

Gibbs wasn't in the mood to mess around with anyone or anything and without his coffee, he could be worse than a killer sometimes. Or that's how Tony had seen it before at least. "Alright I'll take care of it" Gibbs stood up leaving Jasper along for a short minute and talked to one of the older waitresses up at the counter explaining how he would like his usual waitress or someone different because it makes things awkward. They understood and he went to sit next to Jasper again at the booth. "There, done" Gibbs stated as an older red head walked over to the table and Gibbs stated "Coffee and chocolate milk, if you wouldn't mind Ginger" Gibbs knew this waitress because she was friends with Gibbs. He was almost like a regular when he came to get coffee that is.

A smiled lit up Jasper's face. "Thanks. Zat vas starting to freak me out." He nodded politely when the red headed waitress walked over and she seemed to understand. He was glad when the milk arrived, and he sipped at it slowly. He'd always had a thing for chocolate, and he loved it in milk. He looked up at Gibbs for a whole, thinking. "do you vish you didn't 'ave to vatch me." He paused. "I vant be offended...I just vas vondering." He truthfully hoped that Gibbs liked him at least a little, but he understood that the man most likely had better things to do with his time then watch a stupid German kid who'd gotten himself into more trouble than was even normal.

Ginger had nodded before hand bringing the stuff over, the younger waitress was still staring at Jasper, but, had just gotten in trouble for not working. Gibbs drank his coffee and gave Ginger her tip early and then waited for her to walk away. She was a nice girl for her age and she was fine with keeping an eye on Sophie. Sophie was the younger waitress "It's alright with me, it gives me something different than my normal routine" Gibbs smiled his casual smile when he thought something was interesting or funny.

A small frown crossed Jasper's face. "Pardon if zis is a touchy subject, but...you hd achild before didn't you..I can tell..." He leaned forward a bit, sorrow in his eyes. "Vhat happened to your kid..?" He asked, afraid of being yelled at, but at the same time wanting to know. He kind of hoped that talking about it would make Gibbs feel better. "Seriously, there's no way you could be zis good vith children without experience..even though I am not a child. I am as dumb as one."

Gibbs listened to the boy "That isn't something you need to know, kid" and Gibbs laughed when Jasper said he himself was as dumb as a kid. It was interesting to be around someone...different than his own team. "Come on, let's get going before Vance freaks out" he normally called him the director, but, for now he was going to avoid that conversation. Paying the waitress he waited for Jasper so they could get on driving to the office. He would go into the building as Tony and Ziva was at it again with one of their conversations about Tony playing video games again. McGee was playing solitaire.

Jasper agreed and got in the car. He realized that Tim was going to be boring today, and seriously just wished that he could hand out with Gibbs. He liked the silver haired man, and the rest of these people were boring him to death. Abby came up and grinned at Jasper. "Hey there." She said and he smiled back. "Hi Abby." She looked around the office and then took Jasper's hand. "Come on doll. We're going to play dress up." She said, grinning. She dragged him down to her lab and got out the cutest outfit to dress Jim up in.

(Abby playing dress up with Jasper, this should be interesting lol I can't wait to see what she does)

Gibbs smirked, whenever Abby wanted to play dress up, she got what she wanted. A doll to put clothes on. She did it to McGee and Tony once before, forcing them to cosplay as two boys from her favorite show and paired them up. She even took pictures of them which is now used for blackmail material and showing to Gibbs for him to use as blackmail to show Ziva who has no idea whey exist.

Tony laughed and then stopped when he heard Gibbs say "Unless you want to join them again, DiNozzo, I would suggest getting back to work" Gibbs said going to sit down at his desk with his coffee still in hand. He had one to go, but, something about the office seemed different. Ziva was grilling him for details about what Gibbs meant, McGee was trying to stay out of it, but, got pulled into it anyways. Gibbs looked around, but, nothing was different.

((sorry for disappearing. That happens to me around holidays.))

Jasper didn't really mind being a doll. The outfit consisted of a tight pair of leather pants and a best with cat ears and a tail. He was slightly embarresed. "Isn't this a bit much?" She giggled, liking her own handiwork. "You're adorable!" She dragged him to the elevator, taking him back up to the bullpen. "Oh! Abby no!" He protested as she shoved him out. Tony saw him first and started laughing."You look like a fag!" Jasper looked offended. "Seriously. Vhy vould you say that!?" He was blushing, humiliated. He looked at Abby in hopes she would save him.

(nah it's cool)

"Tony, don't say that" Abby scolded adding "He looks cute, what do you think Ziva?" Abby asked bringing her into this conversation "Uh, well...it suits him" she stated simply, she didn't want to be like Tony and blurt out something stupid. "Dinozzo stop talking" Gibbs had just visited with the director and came down the steps, he noticed Jasper's outfit, 'defiantly Abby's doing' he thought to himself "Tight clothes, odd, but, good work Abbs" Gibbs added walking over to his desk hearing Tony laughing still and talking about how it made the boy look too much like a girl. "Ziva here"Gibbs grabbed an envelope out of his desk drawer and tossed it to Ziva who opened it laughing and almost falling out of her chair. It was the pictures when Tony and McGee were forced to play dress up to keep Abby calm on a mission before.

Jasper was still mad at Tony as Gibbs walked in. Hearing the older man's voice made him blush even darker. He looked at Abby, then Ziva, then looked down bash fully. "I know! Isn't it just great work?!" She replied to Gibbs earlier comment. "I-I don't think I look so good in this Abby..." She looked disappointed. "I mean. It would look cute on you...but..I am a man...and I should dress as one..because I am not..a fag.." He seemed like he wanted to disappear. Abby could see right through him. "O my gosh!" She headslapped Tony. "you're mean! He really is gay aren't you Jasper." The German man gulped, freezing and nearly dying of humiliation. "N-No! Of coarse not!" He protested. He couldn't let Gibbs know that.

Ziva went around showing the pictures to everyone who hadn't seen then, however, something about the atmosphere in the room changed. The little girl from before had shown up again, this time, the same outfit, but, she seemed a bit focused on something or someone.

Gibbs scowled, well his normal look when he was annoyed at Tony for doing something stupid "Okay Dinozzo, you have time to goof off, then Jasper will join me and McGee on the field today." Gibbs looked over at Jasper "And by the way, you look fine" a small smile crossed his face, but, it faded as Tony was looking else where complaining. "Oh come on boss, why not Ziva?" tony complained,

"Because she is joining you" Gibbs stated then stopped seeing the girl finally "Who are you?" he stated more as a 'better answer' type of question. The little girl, Emily, who looked almost like Gibb's little girl. She had walked over to Jasper and looked up smiling "Don't worry, you'll have love in your life" she turned her head to Tony "But you won't" she stated with a scowl. It was almost evil, the look she had in her eyes.

She turned around and walked around the corner before anyone moved. Ziva leaned over realizing the girl was gone. "Okay now who was that?" "Don't know" Gibbs said determined to find out.

Jasper grinned and stuck his tongue out at Tony. "Yeah. How does zat make you feel!" He taughting as it was determined that he would the one going to the field today and Tony would be forced to wait behind. McGee was also grinning slightly and he high fived the little German. The compliment from Gibbs has him blushing scarlet. "Thanks." He said very softly, getting shy all of the sudden. A knowing smile crossed Abby's face, and Tony cocked an eyebrow, also kind of guessing what was going on. They were investigators after all. It was easy to tell that Jasoer had a major crush on their boss. Ziva cleared her throat awkwardly as she caught Jasper's shy staring at Jethro.

He was snapped out of his trance as a little girl spoke, nearly sending him through the roof it scared him so bad. "H-How could you possible know zumthing like zat..?" He questioned, not even completely sure what she meant. "Vith who... Und vhen..?" He demanded, though she seemed to already have dissapeared. Annoyance and curiosity flickered in Jasper's expression as he took off running in the direction the girl had gone. He wanted to find her and ask her what she meant and why she was here. She must have been lost or something, and he was hoping to help find her parents.

Gibbs smirked to how the boy reacted to Tony, showed he was stronger in will than he looked. The girl didn't show back up until she was seen at the steps, however, this time only Jasper would be able to see the girl. She knew things others didn't, she appeared whenever she wanted, along with disappearing at the same time. Some would say she could be a ghost, others a witch, and simply others a victim. Now, whichever one she was, would be figured out soon enough.

Gibbs saw Jasper run off and decided to follow him, McGee along with "Ziva, you remember what the girl looked like, find out who she is" he demanded pretty sure this wasn't going to be something good. Jasper was chasing after someone who probably didn't even exist, but, then how would that explain everyone seeing her?


(oooh ooh ooh idea idea idea, let him follow the girl, I'll leave clues somehow)

(I told you she would be a minor character lol I haven't even figured out much about her, just how she disappears and stuff lol)

((she makes things interesting. :p))

Tony blinked a few times, trying to figure out what had just happened. Jasper had run off after a crazy little girl, Gibbs was going after Jasper with Tim on his heels, and Ziva was supposed to figure out who this child was. What Tony had to wonder was how a little girl got past security of NCIS. Why was she even here. Abby was still standing around, clearly in thought. "I wonder who Jasper's in love with." she said out loud and Tony looked at her. "Who says he is in love?" she turned to hIm. "It was the look on his face when that girl spoke. He seemed hopeful. That could only mean he has someone in mind." Tony shrugged as Ziva joined in. "Have you seen how he looks at Gibbs? I think that's who he's after." Tony laughed. "Then he's in for painful heart break. Gibbs would never go for him. First, because the boss likes women, second, because he'd never go for a brat. He likes mature, naughty women. Jasper's to spoiled and innocent. That not Gibbs." Abby shrugged. "If that girl's right, then he'll find someone." Tony just laughed. Abby was one who belived in lots of odd things that were beyond normal.

Jasper ran after the girl, seeing her go to the stairs. He ran down after her, falling down and then forcing himself back up to follow her. "wait! Please!" He yelled, going after her. "I vant to know who you are und vhy you think zat I vill find someone! Can you tell me who?" He was hoping to catch up with her, out of breath as he ran some more.

(really, she does?)

The girl lead him to the roof of the NCIS building where no one was around, no fences around the top either, just a normal roof. She moved over to the side by the edge, she could fall anytime now, and it didn't seem to bother her. However, she did now look concerned "There is only one that can save you" and she meant that in more of a literal term than anything else as she leaned more towards the edge of the building.
