He wasn't sure how long he stood there, watching her. At one point, she froze, seeming to sense she was being watched. He hid further into the shadow, unseen as she turned and looked over her shoulder. As she went back to her task, he decided now was the time, the time to get her. She was alone and vulnerable, completely unaware. Quietly he slipped from the darkness into the light, moving cautiously, but quickly as to not give himself away.
As he inched closer, his hands reached out for her.

His hands contacted with her sides and Abby jumped and gasped.
She threw her elbow back and connected hard with his ribs. He groaned as she turned around to face him. "Damn, Gibbs!" she nearly shouted and slapped at his arm. "You scared the bejesus out of me!" She had one hand on her chest, trying to keep her excessively beating heart inside. Gibbs rubbed his hand where she jammed her elbow. "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"
"I'll live." She slapped at him again. "What was that for?"
"Weren't you paying attention?! You scared the bejesus out of me!"
Hope this worked. Let me know!
