"Gibbs just called it a day," She explained, when Tony walked back into the bullpen. "He said that we are free to go. So that drink that we agreed on, we can have now. I invited McGee and Gibbs to join us, but they both have plans. So it looks like it is just you and me." After she spoke, she removed her gun from her desk and slipped it into the holster on her hip. The dark haired woman checked her gun and then badge, made sure that she also had her wallet and car keys.<br/>
<br/>
And once she was sure that she had everything that she needed, turned back to Tony. "Wanna go to a bar, or to your place?" She asked, as she watched him finish getting his things together, and then the two of them left the bullpen together and headed for the elevator. They both stepped into the elevator a few minutes later, and after she pressed <br/>
the button for the ground floor, stood in silence with Tony as the elevator doors closed, and then they started on the way to the bottom floor. She cleared her throat a moment later.<br/>
<br/>
"Tony," She said softly, as they continued to wait in the elevator, to arrive at the bottom floor. "I talked to Jenny, and she knows how messed up her plan was. So, if and when she tries to talk to you, I hope you will listen. I know that you're not particularly a fan of the Director right now, since she and Gibbs are at odds, and you are usually on his side, but I hope you will at least hear her out. We have all done things that we shouldn't. We have all made mistakes. And Jenny.. Ah.. The Director's plan to take on all of those men by herself at the shootout, was stupid."<br/>
<br/>
"I have told her so, and I have let her know we aren't happy with her for making it so that we almost found her body, instead of finding her alive. Just... She's not a bad person. She made a mistake, and though I am angry at her, I can also understand. She didn't think she'd die. She thought she would be able to take them out on her own, without risking our lives. But she failed, and she's still alive and has to deal with how her plans caused us to feel betrayed by her. I just.. She made a wrong choice. Something we all do. Don't be too hard on her."</span></span></span>
