Meanwhile Jordan and Ducky were waiting for Mac and Gibbs in Mac’s office. She had told Ducky the whole story around Gibbs. Ducky had provided them with a pot of tea, so that Jordan would calm down. They were just about to have another cup when named men walked in. Gibbs made a small nod to Ducky, who got the hint.
“Now don’t be too rough on her, gentlemen. She’s had enough excitement for one day, if I may say.” Ducky winked at Jordan for good luck and left Mac’s office.
Jordan was staring out the window when she felt a pair of strong hands on her shoulders. She recognized them as Gibbs’. He didn’t say anything and turned her to face Mac. Jordan’s shoes had become a real sudden interest.
Mac watched her seriously. “You, young lady, when you came here I told you if you pulled another stunt here, I would fire you myself. Mac told Jordan tightly.
“Mac-” Jordan started to say. Gibbs stayed at Jordan’s back and held her in position.
“No Jordan.” Mac held his hand up and walked towards her. “This has gone far enough. I’ve relocated you.” He put his finger under her chin and pushed her head up so that she would face him. Jordan gave him a questionable look. “I am transferring you.” Mac nodded at Gibbs.
“Mac-” Jordan interrupted again.
“To this good looking guy. He promised me he would take real good care of you.” He smiled.
“And sa s long as you don’t pull off any stunts, like you did with DiNozzo, you’re hired.” Gibbs voice came from next to her ear. “And do I have a special mission for you.” He promised. Jordan was numbed.
“This is my signal to go on mine.” Mac sniggered, but not before giving Jordan a tight hug that she gladly returned. “Congratulations with this guy, kiddo.” Mac kissed her on her forehead. “And with the babies.” He smirked.
“Oh Mac, you’re the best.” Jordan shrieked and jumped in to a sisterly hug.
“Hey!” Gibbs quipped from behind her.
“Oh ok, right after this guy.” Jordan let Mac go and threw her arms around Gibbs neck, kissing him fervently.
“I’d better leave now.” Mac said as he left the happy couple to themselves.
“Jethro, I was so worried.” Jordan confessed. “You both sounded so angry.”
“Angry? We weren’t angry, just shocked. You should have told me that Mac was your brother.”
“But I did.” Jordan remembered him of the night at the jazz bar. “I told you my dad made my brother take guitar lessons when we were kids. And that I started singing along when I was about 14.”
“You never said that was Mac, Angel.” Gibbs kissed her gently on her nose.
“For an investigator, you sometimes stink, Probie.” Jordan kissed him on his lips.
“Well, you can tell me all about you and Mac on our mission.” Gibbs took Jordan’s hand and led her out.
“What mission?” She wanted to know.
“I’ll tell you all about in on the way.” Gibbs tossed Mac’s car keys in the air.
Jordan caught them. “But I’m driving, you already wrecked my SUV.” He sniggered.
“I’ll buy you a new one for our wedding.” Gibbs promised. “We got work to do now. So move it, Angel.” He hit her on her bum.
