Kelly's New Place

In the minutes following the events that transpired had between Jen and Eli; Eli David was about to board the plane. One of the security guards gave Eli a towel to help stop the bleeding from his shoulder. I pulled Eli off to the side of the terminal
“You wouldn’t have been as lucky as you were to walk away with a bullet in your shoulder, if it I was the one to shoot you.”
“Excuse me?” Eli questioned.
“I said; you wouldn’t have been that lucky to walk away if I were the one who shot you.” I repeated.
“Who are you?” Eli questioned again.
“You know damn well who I am; Director David.” I said as I removed my sunglasses and hat.
“Ah Agent Shepard, it looks like you and your sister think alike.”
“We’re just making sure you got Agent Gibbs’ message.”
“You and your agency cannot keep me from my daughter and granddaughters.”
“In case you haven’t noticed by now, she isn’t your daughter anymore. You are dead to her and I will do just about anything to keep you away from those girls.” I said as stood up from my seat and pulled my gun out.
In one fluid motion, I pulled the trigger and Eli had a matching gunshot wound in his left shoulder. Eli sunk to the floor in pain.
“Just a little something to remember us by.” I said as I walked away.
Once I was in the stewards section, I got one of the flight attendants’ attention.
“You might want to give the guy on the floor over there another towel.” I said as I showed a security guard my badge before I left Andrews.
Jen didn’t ream Jethro like he had expected her to. Shortly after Jen got back home, Jethro learned what Jen and I had done that night. It was only an hour after I had gotten home from Andrews that I along with Jen and Jethro were called into the office. The three of us got a rude awakening as we walked into Jen’s office. Sitting before us in Jen’s chair was SECNAV.
“Looks like Eli tattled on us.” I whispered to Jen.
“What the hell were you three thinking? Assaulting the head of a foreign intelligence agency.”
“It was justified, sir.” Jen answered.
Jethro just stood behind Jen and me without saying a word.
“How is it justified, Director? Is it as justified as your vendetta against La Grenouille was?” Davenport questioned.
“Back off Phil.” I said.
“I see you still have the same tenacity you had in my office fourteen years ago.”
Just as I started towards Davenport, Jethro grabbed my arm to keep me from going after Davenport.
“Its justified because we were protecting one of our own.” I said once I had calmed down.
“Doesn’t matter who you were protecting; even if you were protecting Director David’s daughter, you and sister still shot the Director of Mossad few minutes after Agent Gibbs punched him.”
“Yes it does. If you knew half of what Eli David did to her, you would see how it is justified.” I said.
“Director, Agent Gibbs; I’m letting you two off with a warning this time. As for you, Agent Shepard….” Davenport said as he turned his attention from my sister and Jethro to me.
“Jaylyn, Jethro; why don’t you two go down to the squad room so I can talk with Davenport in private.”
Jethro nodded as we left Jen’s office. Jen knew what Davenport was about to sentence me to and she wasn’t about to let that happen. So Jethro and I waited.
“You aren’t going to be able to convince me not to suspend her. You are lucky that I didn’t suspend you and Agent Gibbs.” Davenport said once it was just him and Jen in her office.
“Yes I am. You aren’t going to suspend her from Agent Gibbs’ team for a month. She is gonna get desk work for a month and that’s final.” Jen said giving Davenport a look that was completely unyielding.
Davenport nodded in agreement and left. As Davenport stepped into the elevator, I made my way up to Jen’s office just as I countless times before to see what the verdict was.
“Well what’s my punishment Jen? I doubt I’m getting off as easily as you and Jethro.” I said.
“Let’s just say you are getting a better deal than what you would have gotten if I hadn’t stepped in.”
“Will you stop being vague and tell what Davenport’s punishment is for me so I can go home to my family.”
“You’re on desk duty for a month, Jay.”
“You got to be kidding me.”
“Would you rather be suspended right now?”
“I got go.” I said as I left.
Within a few minutes Jen and Jethro were back at home just as I was. Nick had become quiet accustom to how I did things and he knew what to do when I was upset. When I got in Nick had that look on his face that told me he was wondering what I wanted.
“Bourbon, now.” I said.
The girls had been bed for a while, so it was just Nick and me until one of us got tired. I had a feeling that I would be the first to crash. Nick brought me the bourbon I had asked for. All Nick had to do was to look into my eyes and he instantly knew why the bourbon was needed.
“It won’t be that bad.” Nick said.
I finished my glass of bourbon and we headed to bed. Meanwhile things got a bit interesting at Jen and Jethro’s. Jackson had turned in early, so Kelly was the only one up when Jen and Jethro got home. Within minutes of their arrival, Kelly thought it was the best time to drop what she thought was a minor bombshell on her father and on Jenny by extension. Jen and Jethro found Kelly in the kitchen.
“Ah Dad, there is something I have to tell you. Something that I have to tell you and Jen.” Kelly said.
“What is it Kels?” Jethro asked.
“I’m moving in with my fiancé, Jason Beckett.”
“You have to be pregnant.” Jethro said.
“Jethro.” Jen reprimanded.
“We’re not at the office, Jen; so drop the Director act and switch to girlfriend mode.”
“Dad.” Kelly said completely disgusted with Jethro.
Jethro knew that he had just pissed off his daughter and his girlfriend, after tonight’s events pissing off the two most important women in his life wasn’t the best thing to do at the moment.
“So are you and Joseph just moving because you want to or as your father so kindly phrased it, this new living arrangement due to a baby being on the way?” Jen asked.
Jethro had always admired how Jen managed to be so delicate with situations like this that he would have been too harsh in. She was the fire to his ice, the yin to his yang in so many ways.
“It’s both Jen, we’re moving in together because we love each other and because I am pregnant with Jason’s baby. You are gonna be a grandfather, dad.” Kelly said.
With this news Jethro’s head began to spin, so with that Jethro went down to his boat; leaving Jen and Kelly where they stood in the kitchen.
“Don’t worry, Kelly; he’ll come around.” Jen said comforting her boyfriend’s daughter.
