Living the Lie

Title: Living the Lie
Pairing/Warning/Rating: NCIS fandom, no pairings, rated G
Word Count: 100
Summary: It's not easy to maintain a cover.
Author's Note: Written for the [livejournal.com profile] ncisdrabble100 challenge: secrets

The truth can be a hard thing to tell.  Impossible even, especially when trying to maintain a cover.  It’s easier, so much easier, to say nothing at all.  But, if you’re good, and I do mean good,  you can deflect things in such a way that no one even notices your words were nothing more than cotton candy, light and fluffy, and completely void of anything worthwhile.  Doing that is difficult in its own way, trying to keep stories straight and various lies from dueling when they butted up against one another.  But necessary.  Especially when lives depend on it.
