The morning air at the crime scene was thick with tension. You arrived late, a deliberate snub that didn't go unnoticed. Gibbs watched you approach, his eyes narrowing as you snapped on your gloves with aggressive precision. You walked past him without a glance, ignoring his low call for your name. When you finally spoke, addressing him as 'sir' with icy sweetness, the team felt the chill. 'Walk the scene with me,' he tried, softer now. 'I think you’ve got that covered, Gibbs,' you retorted, the words sharp. 'Wouldn't want to bother you with any... unnecessary attachments.' He stood frozen, jaw clenched, as you kept moving, leaving him to stew in the silence you created.
