E.1 C.1-Helping Hand
2.1.1
This starts at the beginning of season 2-
A Navy Cadet is found drugged, beaten, and raped at a New Year's Eve party where Abby and her new friend are.
Tony DiNozzo was sitting as his desk, quietly finishing off his report. Kate Todd and Timothy McGee were doing the same thing at their desks too. Jethro Gibbs was watching them from the platform above. He smiled as he took a drink of his coffee. Gibb's phone ringing at his desk disrupted the late night's silence. The office was dark because everyone else had left because of New Year's Eve. Neither McGee, Todd nor DiNozzo could see Gibbs standing on the platform above. All three agents stopped work straightaway, as Kate made a move to answer it,
"Don't touch it!" Tony's voice hushed; with one hand in the air, "There's still two and a half hours until New Year-" Kate stood up and interrupted,
"You'd rather go out partying and celebrating the New Year than helping someone who may need our help?" She made her way to Gibbs desk to answer it but Tony bet her to it. He picked up the phone and signalled a high five to McGee. McGee rolled his eyes and went back to his report but was interrupted again when Kate pressed the speaker button,
"Special Agent Gibbs? This is Celia Sampley from the front desk down stairs-" Tony laughed,
"Celia, darling, how are you tonight? Maybe after you have finished your shift, we could grab a bite to eat before-" Celia sound irritated when replied,
"I was under the impression I had called Special Agent Gibbs desk. So sorry Special Agent DiNozzo-" Tony laughed again and replied, sweetly,
"No, Celia, this is Gibbs desk but at the moment he is AWOL so I am the next agent-"
Unknown to any of his agents, Gibbs walked bristly down the stairs, stopping Tony in mid sentence,
"I think it's for you boss…" Walking quickly back to his desk, as Gibbs replied,
"You think DiNozzo?" Gibbs bent over the phone and asked,
"Yes?" There was a squeak on the other end as a nervous voice replied,
"Ah, Special Agent Gibbs, this is-"
" I know who this is, Ms Sampley," Gibbs replied, waiting,
"I have been trying to get through to Miss Sciuto's lab but unable to get hold of her," Celia replied, "I have a young lady wanting to get through to her, may I refer her on to you, sir?" Gibbs smiled and replied,
"Why not?"
Kate looked up from her desk and raised an eyebrow at Tony meaning "Gibbs is smiling?" There was a clicking noise and then,
"Hello? Abby?" Gibbs froze, Tony looked up from pretending to do his report, and even McGee took notice. Kate looked dumbfound and whispered, annoyingly,
" Why don't I have this effect on men?"
Tony got up from his desk and replied to Kate,
"Coz your no Russian," He went over and bent over the phone and in a weird Italian accent said,
"Hello, this is Special Agent DiNozzo, but you can call me Tony-"
"Special Agent?" she replied, laughing, "What so 'special' about you, Tony?"
Before Tony could reply, Gibbs picked up the phone but her voice could still be heard over speaker,
" Sorry about that, this is Special Agent Gibbs. Now you wish to speak to Abby, do you? Please hold for a few seconds," Gibbs turned to Kate as the girl replied, stuffily,
" I've been holding for about half an hour…" It whispered out as Gibbs asked Kate,
"Can you go and find Abby?" As Kate walked towards the lifts, she mumbled,
"I hate Russians!"
