"Please?"
"No!"
"I'm begging you!" Abby tried again.
"Still no!" McGee repeated. There was no way he would step foot in her lab other than at this very moment. Today Abby's nieces & their friends would be staying at the office.
"Why?" Abby whined.
McGee walked out of her lab & to the elevater, but heard her heavy boots as a sign that she had followed him. "They set me on fire the last time they visited." He punched the elevater button & the two rode up three levels to his desk.
"They were in their arson stage." Abby argued. "And at least they put you out. They killed my tweety bird, set his cage on fire."
"I will not be punished for your mistakes!"
"What mistakes would those be?"
McGee laughed. "First you let your parents have another kid, a.k.a. your younger brother. Then you let him have kids. And finally, you're letting the girls come over with their friends."
"Two of those three things were not in my control." The elevater 'dinged' open & McGee & Abby continued to his desk. Abby stomped her foot. "Now, will you please stay with them?"
"Wait." McGee rubbed his temples, not understanding. "I thought you just wanted me to watch them while you were in court. Why do you need me to stay with them?"
"Think, McGee." Abby replyed in frustration. The elevater 'dinged' open again & Tony, Ziva, & Gibbs joined the couple. "It's three girls & one boy sharing a presidential suite. I don't trust them. Now, please?"
McGee really hated saying no to Abby, but he hated those twins ever more. They caught him on fire AND shaved his eyebrows off while he napped/rested his eyes. "Why can't they stay at your apartment?"
Abby stomped her foot in agrivation. "I'm in between moving, remember?"
"What about their parents?" Tony asked. Of course he eavsdropped, he's Anthony DiNozzo.
"The girls' parents are on duty... overseas." Abby added the last part in a worried tone. "Their marines."
"The other two's?" McGee wondered.
"Dead." Abby said quickly.
"How?" Ziva wondered. Great, now she's in the conversation?
"Child birth, on duty, murdered." Abby answered slowly.
"Why don't you trust them alone? If I remember from the last time they visited, they're fifteen by now." Tony wondered.
"The fact that they're fifteen is why I don't trust them." Abby told him, behind her, McGee nodded in agreement.
"Just to be clear, who are we talking about?" Ziva asked from her desk.
"Abby's neices & a couple of their friends." McGee groaned.
"You do not sound too happy about that." Ziva noted.
McGee shook him head & turned to his computer, typing furiously. "They set me on fire last time. God only knows what they'll do this time around."
"What were you thinking of when you were near girls at fifteen, Tony?" Abby turned to look at Tony.
Tony stopped & was silent for a moment. "Good point. What do you think, boss?" Tony looked around Abby but Gibbs was on the phone, if you call slamming his cell phone against your desk being on it.
"Damn it, I hate these things." Gibbs said to himself. He pointed at the elevater. "Ziva, DiNozzo, you two have protection duty. You're to be on the front steps in ten minutes."
Skip-the-next-ten-minutes!
"What are their names?" Ziva asked Tony as they stood just inside the door, looking at the four teens on the front steps.
The first was a girl with a short-short, bright red, pleated skirt with matching suspenders, a white fitted tee with a black pawprint in the middle, bright red goggles on top of her auburn hair, which was in two braids, & skated around the top of the stairs on a pair of white rollar skates. Next was a girl in electric blue short-shorts with matching suspenders, a black fitted tee with a white pawprint in the middle, electric blue goggles on her red hair that was put in a single braid, & rolled around the bottom of the stairs on black rollar blades. The third girl had on a black tank top with an orange slash on it, a black mini-skirt, black chucks, & a green, alien helmet matching her scooter. The fourth was a guy with a black turtleneck, tan cargos, a utility belt around his waist, & black KangaROOs, (Yes, it sounds like he's Ron Stopable.) & light brown hair. He ground the handrailing on his skateboard.
"The girls who look alike are Hadrea & Hikari, but they will go insane if you call them that." Tony explained.
Ziva looked at the man next to her. "What do I call them, then?"
"Griffon & Graeae, their middle names. The girl on the scooter is Griffon's friend Aria & the boy is Grant, Aria's cousin & Graeae's best friend."
"Which one is Griffon & which one is Graeae?"
A sudden voice boomed in their ears. "Are you two just going to hide or are you going to do your job?" The two jumped & turned to see Gibbs & Abby.
"We were just getting out there." Tony stammered & dragged Ziva behind him as he raced outside.
"Tony, hey." Graeae & or Griffon said when they came out. "You must be Ziva. I'm Graeae." She skated up to the israeli & hand out her hand while the other twin tried to get up the steps in her blades. "That's Griffon, Aria, & Grant.
"Yes, hello." Ziva smiled softly.
When Griffon got up the steps she, Graeae, & Grant began skating circles around Tony. "So, DiNozzo, how long's it been?" She asked.
"Five years. McGee's eyebrows grew back. How 'bout your burn, Grant, is it gone?" He answered.
"Yeah, a'course its gone, it was only second degree." Grant scoffed as if it were nothing.
Aria folded her scooter up & removed her helmet to let her short, dark brown hair fall free. "You guys are way too immature."
"I must agree with you, though I am not sure we are talking about the same person." Ziva said, shaking her head.
End-of-chapter!
Okay, I really don't know what the hell I'm doing, writing an N.C.I.S. fanfic. But geek love rocks so I will try my best to make this a good McAbby fic. I know I probobly exagerated the size of the building but you guys should know what I mean.
