Work Text:
“You know,” said the SecNav, as Vance closed his office door behind them, “I’d thought that Agent Gibbs didn’t like me. But he seems… I don’t want to say ‘nicer’….since I visited the lab.”
Vance smiled. “You met Miss Sciuto?”
She frowned. “Yes. She seems incredibly good at her job, if a bit… unconventional.”
“And you told Gibbs that?”
“I left out the ‘unconventional’ part.”
“Agent Gibbs is very protective of his team,” Vance told her. “As the new SecNav, you were an unknown, a potential danger— nothing personal— but now he knows where you stand.”
She smiled. “Well, good.”
