Why this must be read:
Anita is quite a prolific Gibbs/Ducky writer and has written some superb stories, but for me, Cosas Malas Suceden En El Camino A Mexico is one of her very best stories. It is set immediately after Hiatus, and tells of Gibbs's time in Mexico. It has a really good plot line that action, great characterisation (including a side to Ducky you rarely see, but know he is capable of), good team interaction, tension, hurt/comfort, angst, pain, suffering, caring, love, affection, you name it, it's there. And it has a beautiful final line.
Anita is not a native English speaker, but you would hardly know it from her stories. I'm always in awe of people who write in their non-native language and do so so very well.
He was bored. Mike wasn’t much of a conversation partner, and even though he liked to fish, and drink beer until he was wasted, he had gotten fed up with it.
The warm Mexican sun had nearly burned his skin off in the first few weeks, and he had spent several hours a day in the water and catch fish with his bare hands, because it had hurt so much. But now, ever since his skin adjusted to the heat, he wore his greenish tank top and kaki shorts, he had always wanted to do that but since he never went to the beach, and since it wasn’t the dress code of NCIS agents, he could never. Camilla told him that he looked ‘hot’, even for his ‘old age’ that he could get any girl he wanted. Camilla even tried to seduce him, but he didn’t give in to her. Even though he was in Mexico, his heart was still only for Ducky.
He was slowly regaining his memory. The stunt he pulled in MTAC about 6 weeks ago had been a façade. Ziva had instructed him. He remembered his team, but that was it. Ziva had told him about Pin Pin. Ziva had told him about the Cape Fear. Ziva… he hated her, he knew that. He didn’t trust her, even though she had killed her half brother. He knew he did. He remembered that. Jenny, or the Director, had lied to him. She had put Ziva on his team, to replace Kate. The memory of losing Kate hurt him. It had been his fault. He had dragged his team into his ‘war’ with Ari. He had put Kate on that roof, together with himself and Tony. It hadn’t been right. Kate had been a great agent, and his inner chauvinist didn’t want her on that roof, but his inner agent needed her there.
