Abby Scuito, forensic extraordinaire, was one self sufficient, in control lady. Abby had a soft heart but a hard head and once her mind was made up there was no changing it. Well, not exactly no changing it, Leroy Jethro Gibbs was the only person who could convince her to change her mind. Today was one of those days that a little Gibbs intervention would have been a good thing.
A little background into what makes Gibbs such a strong person in Abby's life. Abby is the youngest member of Team Gibbs. This team of co-workers has an unusual dynamic make-up. There was Abby, the baby of the group, with her childlike exuberance and pigtails, she was undeniably Gibbs favorite. Next was Ziva David, the big sister, the ex-moussad officer was not the most outgoing,touch-feely one, but her heart was always in the right place. Next would be Tim McGee, the middle child, a super smart, computer genius who was not always full of self confidence, but is trustworthty and loyal to the end. Rounding out the children is Tony Dinozzo, the oldest son, who on the outside is a juvenile, immature jock, but on the inside is one cool under pressure, strong leader. At the head of this 'family' was one Leroy Jethro Gibbs, an ex-marine, who demands the best out of all his 'kids'. Gibbs took it upon himself to help develop and mature each of his 'kids' to be the best, even if his ways of dealing with their mistakes may be a little unorthodox. Most of the times that when punishment was needed it was not done through the normal legal ways, it often ended up with the one who made the mistake not sitting comfortable for a while.
When things are slow at work Abby's mind goes into overdrive and that is not always a good thing. Recently Abby has seen her life as boring and very dull, not something that a goth-loving, tattoo wearing lady likes to see, and she decided it was time to make some changes, to stir the pot. She had been secretly taking online private investigator classes, secretly because she knew that if Daddy Gibbs found out about this latest adventure he would be none too pleased. Today was the final exam and is she passed her online exam she would be paired up with a real P.I. for an internship and then she can start working cases on her own.
"Come on Abs, head on straight, let's kick this test's butt!" Abby muttered to herself as she started to take the test online. Abby knew that since there was no active cases that there was little chance of getting an unexpected visit from Gibbs or any other team mate, so she was taking the test at work.
DING! The elevator gave a warning of someone exiting on her floor, but Abby, deep in concentration, paid no attention to the sound. It was until she was interrupted by a loud sound in the doorway that got her attention.
"Hrumph! " Abby quickly minimized the screen and turned quickly who was standing in the door of her lab. "Tony! You scared me, what are you doing down here? Do we have a case, is there something for me to analyze, what can I do for you?" Abby rambled nervously.
"Well for starters, you can tell me what that was on the screen that you removed so quickly?" Tony tried to look around her shoulders to get a better peek at her computer." Huh, what are you trying to hide here? A little online war games, maybe you know like Matthew Broadrick's great early flick. Come on Abs, show me?"
"Um, it was nothing, just a little game I am playing? You know nothing serious, just some stuff." Abby said trying to make Tony at ease with her actions, as she moved from left to right, trying not to let him at her computer.
With a not so gentle way Tony took Abby by the shoulders and moved her to the side and walked over to her computer. "No, Tony, do not touch MY computer. It is none of you business what I do in MY lab, so just shoo!" Abby tried to block Tony from her computer, but it was to no avail. He simply reached over her and hit the maximize button.
After reading a couple of questions, Tony figured out what lil' sis was up to and he was not too happy." Abby, you cannot be serious here. I mean, you, a private investigator. Come on what do you think you are going to be, a goth Magnum . Come on you can't be serious here." But one look at her face told him that not only was she was serious, she was truly going to enjoy this little escapade. " No, Nope, No way, Not now, not ever! Not only is this not going to happen because I will not let you get any further with this little fantasy, how do you think Gibbs will react if he finds out?" Tony was in full big brother mode now.
"Oh great, Tony, what are you going to do, go and tattle to DAD about me? How grown up of you? Besides it is my life, I am an adult so if I want to do this then I will!!" Abby's temper was starting to get the better of her, so she cooled it down a notch. Now that Tony knew she needed him to be quiet, so agreeing with him to his face was probably going to be the only way that she could keep doing this. "I'm sorry Tony, you are right. I was just bored and was just wanting to see what kind of skills and knowledge was needed to be a P.I., but I will just file this away for future reference. Note to self, not much intelligence needed to be an investigator, I mean Private Investigator," she apologized outloud for the unaccidental tougue slip, but Tony knew that she meant that snide remark.
"Ok sis, you promise no more fool headed P.I. stuff and this only stays in this lab, but I so much as catch you rethinking this, I will let DAD know and you know how he deals with us putting ourselves in unnecessary danger." Tony said as he turned and left out of the lab. He gave her a look that stated ' I am watching you' and then boarded the elevator.
'Whew' Abby thought to herself, that was close. Then Abby walked into her office and closed her sliding door and started to finish the test.
Later that afternoon, Abby received an e-mail confirming her passing the final and her confirmation of assignment to a P.I. in D.C.,"Oh, I can't wait to get started! Yes!" said outloud high fiving herself. Little did she know that Gibbs was just heading down to the lab to see what she was up to since her absence from the bullpen had been noticed and that a little intervention now might prevent a world of pain later.
