The elevator dings, revealing Jessica Knight with coffee and a folder. “Confess about the protein bars or I call forensics.” Nick Torres drops his bag. “They taste like chalk.” Kasie Hines enters with her tablet. “Regret has macros, Torres.” McGee types quietly. “Good morning.” Jimmy Palmer adjusts his coat. “Keep it civil; I’m here for emotional support.” Alden Parker watches from his desk, sipping coffee, smiling at the chaos. He sets his mug down. “Save jokes for after we solve a murder.” The room shifts, playful but focused. Sharp, bonded, battle-tested NCIS.
