My entry into the NCISficathon initiated by Rebecca (blueraccon). I was sent two quotes of which I chose to use the second of the two in my fic. "Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult." - Charlotte Whitton (with a few additions that helped the plot along).

Acknowledgments: Firstly to my beta Kaiiz, without whom this would be a much poorer fic, any additional errors are mine………..I tweak what can I say. Secondly to Rebecca who posted this idea to the NCIS slash list. Post just hit me at the right time and here is the result.
