A Haunting Visit
"Gibbs, why did you call everyone to your office? Not that I'm not happy to see everyone. Hi everyone!" Abby chirped as she tried to get comfy while being squashed in the tiny elevator, surrounded by her friends and coworkers. She spread her arms, taking advantage of them all being close together and squeezed them all closer in a giant Abby hug.
"Yeah Gibbs, I was in a meeting with Sec Nav." The deep voice of Leon Vance called out amongst the people, as he scowled at DiNozzo, the younger man's elbow digging into his ribs. Tony shied away pushing himself farther in the corner and away from the director.
"Boss? Can we hurry this up?" Tony squeaked glancing at Leon who still didn't remove his scowl from his direction. The special agent forced himself deeper into the corner removing his elbow. The scowl lessened but didn't go away completely. DiNozzo sighed, trying to relax.
Palmer and Ducky spoke up at the same time, also crammed into an opposite corner.
"Jethro, I know how fond you are of your office, but is-"
"Agent Gibbs, is this really necessary? I have to get home soon. Its Victoria's first Halloween. Breena will kill me-"
McGee glanced around the tight elevator and sighed, mumbling out under his breathe.
"Can we be any more confined. I just want to get back to my desk."
Gibbs looked around and fought his grin, his team, his family was all together and safe. He whistled to stop the complaining and moaning.
"A certain situation was brought to my attention earlier today and we figured everyone should know. That and she wanted to see your faces when she appeared."
"She?" Multiple questions filled everyone's minds.
At that point, a figure started to take shape in the elevator, the groups eyes going wide, save for Gibbs, as they recognized the ghost.
"KATE?!" Loud voices, happy and shocked rang out as they tried to move to get closer to their dead teammate and friend. The loud thumps of Palmer and McGee fainting filled the elevator as they crashed into people and metal. Grunts could be heard as everyone tried to catch the falling men.
"Hey guys, how have you been?" Kate smiled cheerfully, enjoying the scene of her family, new and old. "I know it's a shock, but I just had to see you all! It is Halloween after all."
