Leroy Jethro Gibbs walked into the bullpen as he did every morning. He carried one cup of coffee in his right hand.

Kate noticed that he had two bags hooked on his left shoulder. "Nice fashion statement, Gibbs" said Kate.

"Not now Agent Todd," said Gibbs as he put the coffee and then the bags on the desk. He unzipped the round bag and pulled out his cell phone. He dialed a number and started to talk again. "Come on pick up!" A small black face came out of the bag. Kate could see a cat in the bag. "Come on pick up!" said Gibbs at the phone. "Damn it, she is hiding from me. Phin get out the bag."

The cat came all the way onto the desk, stretching his body out. He then moved around the desk to look at everything. Gibbs petted the cat all the way down its back and pulled out the cell phone to dial the number again. The cat turned to face Gibbs for more petting, but nothing was forth coming from the man.

"Pick up the phone!" Said Gibbs. "Phin stay on the desk."

"Gibbs, cats don't take orders," said Kate.

"Oh Kate, if you still like your head, stay out of this one, all right" said Tony.

"This cat does take orders," said Gibbs. "Phin sit." The cat sat down on the desk. He looked up at Gibbs like the man was God.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Yelled Gibbs into the phone. "You left him in the bag. I didn't see him and stepped hard on the brakes this morning and he went flying onto the floor." Gibbs stopped talking and listened to whoever was on the end of the line.

"Welcome to wild and wooly world of Gibbs' ex-wife number 2," said Tony to Kate in a whisper. "She got the cat in the divorce and now she dumps it on Gibbs when ever she leaves town. Which is a couple times a year."

Kate was trying not to laugh. Then the cat jumped off Gibbs desk and on to Kate's. He looked at her with his great big green eyes and Kate started to pet the animal. "I'm allergic to cat dander, so I hope I don't fall in love with him before he leaves," said Kate.

"Kate Todd meet Phineas Bogg Gibbs," said Tony.

"What kind of name is Phineas Bogg?" asked Kate.

"Gibbs' ex named the cat after a time traveler from a TV show," said Tony. "Voyagers! I loved that show when I was younger." The young man stared off into space to remember the show.

"No, you have to come and get him!" said Gibbs to the phone. "What do you mean you are getting on a plane this second? No you can't just bump Phineas on me." Gibbs stopped talking and listened to the woman. "I do not pay Kitty support for him, so you can't keep doing this to me!" said Gibbs. "Get off the plane and come get your cat. I mean it. Don't hang up on me!" Gibbs took the phone away from his ear. "She hung up on me." Gibbs folded up the phone, opened a desk drawer and threw it inside, slamming it shut.

Picking up the two bags, Gibbs moved over to Kate's desk, picked up Phineas and put him back into the carrier. Then he stalked out of the bullpen and off to another part of the building.

"Where are they going?" asked Kate.

"Off to see Abby," said Tony. "She owns three cats. She normally takes Phineas when he gets dumped on Gibbs."

"Abby owns cats?" said Kate a little surprised.

"Yeah she has Zoey Mack the Borg Queen, Tristram and Ms. Dot." answered Tony as pulled out some paper work.

"Zoey Mack the Borg Queen?" said Kate as she laughed. She had watched some Star Trek and knew who the Borg Queen was, but to see a cat as a Borg was a funny thought.

"Yeah," said Tony with a laugh. "Zoey likes to boss the other cats around. She has knocked them into next week a couple of times."

"Must be a funny place to visit," said Kate.

"I wouldn't know," said Tony. "I have never been to Abby's place."

Kate watched Tony's face when he said that. It almost looked like something he really wanted to do. "I'll trust you Tony."

"Good," said the younger man.
~~ Gibbs got off the elevator and moved down the hall to Abby's lab. The young woman could be seen in the lab talking to someone on the phone. When Abby hung up, Gibbs went in. Abby was jumping up and down to the sounds of Nine Inch Nails. She was singing along with a song, "Head like a hole."

"ABBY," yelled Gibbs.

The young woman turned to look at Gibbs. She signed 'hi' to him and turned off the music.

"Phineas," said Gibbs. "Would you take him until that witch gets back in town?"

"Sure Gibbs that's not a problem," said Abby. "Zoey needs someone else to bossy around. Hey Phineas." The woman took the carrier from Gibbs and opened it up. She started to pet the cat. He started to purr.

"Thanks, Abby," said Gibbs. "I am going pay you back for this."

"Yeah well if you want to, why don't you and Kate and Tony come on over some night and I will cook dinner for you," said Abby with a bit of a devilish smile on her face.

"I'll talk to the others and let you know," said Gibbs.

"Great!" said Abby.

Gibbs walked out of the lab and watched Abby talking to Phineas. Tapping on the window, Abby turned toward Gibbs. He brought his figure tips to his lips and brought the hand down to middle of his chest, with the palm. Abby signed 'Thank you' back to Gibbs. The man went back up to the bullpen thinking of way to get even with ex-wife number 2.
