The Hidden Observer

Title: The Hidden Observer
Pairing/Warning/Rating: NCIS fandom, rated G
Word Count: 200
Summary:  Jimmy discovers a witness to a crime.
Author's Note:  Written for the [profile] ncisdrabble100 challenge: Witness

Curled in on herself she stayed out of sight in her special spot, hiding from the chaos out in the main room.  First there had been a lot of yelling, then several loud bangs and then everything was quiet. 

Time passed.  Men in the uniforms came, but they didn’t see her.  Strangers came in and out, looking everywhere, but she stayed hidden.  She thought she was safe and no one would see her until she heard the soft, “Doctor Mallard?  I think we have a witness here.”

The one who found her moved very slowly as he approached.  He bent down, waiting to make sure she wasn’t startled when he lifted the curtain she was hiding behind so he could see her better.   “Hey there, little one.” He was soft spoken and gentle.  “You’ve been there a while, haven’t you?  I bet you’re hungry, probably thirsty too.”  As he spoke he brought his hands up, so she could see they were empty, and he wasn’t a threat.  “It’s okay.  You’re all right,” he murmured, over and over, until she relaxed.

 “Let’s get you out of there,” he said, scooping her up.  Purring, she snuggled into in his arms. “Good kitty.”

90% of the Gerald is Ducky/Gerald though, which is NOT my thing

Is it a good sign I'm still horrified by some fic pairings?

when it comes to that pairing YES

Honest to god I don't understand the reasoning behind Ducky/Gerald. Gerald was in less than one season, and was actively shown not to like Ducky (he used earplugs to avoid having to listen to Ducky's stories!) where are the slash vibes supposed to have come from?

I have no idea. People come up with some really interesting pairings, sometimes.

interesting... scary.... its all semantics

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, when I say interesting there I mean more like "oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die!" interesting.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
ah yes, the "my eyes, my eyes, no!!!" kind of interesting

[identity profile] the-dark-side.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Also know as the "get me a Q-tip so I can stab my brain" kind of interesting.
