My Angel

Title: "My Angel"

Author: AbbyGibbs Well, I do not own them and that is pretty unfair – they again belong to DPB! Why does he always have to own the best shows and the best characters? Could someone explain that to me? His characters are always suffering too much. So I have decided to borrow them for a little while, the length of a story, but I promise to give them back though I really wish I could keep them for myself.

Classification: Abby /Gibbs stuff. Romance.

Rating: T (+13 as always to be on the safe side, isn't it?)

Spoilers: "Framed Up", season 3

Summery: What would have happened if Sheppard hadn't brought that folder in time? What if Chip had hurt Abby?

Author's note: Well, this story is a late comer – I had to watch the episode two times to be able to come up with some story and I have already another coming to pieces in the back of my mind. NCIS inspires me immensely; I've never known why, but this started when the show did. Anyway, I hope you guys will enjoy the story and it'll help you wait for the next part of "Trapped"…

The seventh part of "Trapped" is progressing.

Feedbacks: well, I'd love them, of course – who wouldn't? But please, only if you respect my work because it takes a lot of time and energy to get a story together. I love writing; I wouldn't allow anyone to discourage me from doing so, never. I don't have any problems at all with readers who choose not to go for this, but I decidedly do with those who write disrespectful mails just because they didn't get the ending they would have wanted. If you want to tell me what I might have done better within the story I made up, you're always very welcome to let me know. But if your only concern is to rant about it, then please, do it in private, okay? Thank you.

NCIS Building

Abby's lab.

As soon as Gibbs had seen the picture in that case file he'd run to Abby's lab, but not fast enough…

When Tony had seen his boss running like a madman, he didn't ask why. He'd just run after him. As they arrived at the lab Gibbs was holding his gun in front of him, as did Tony, who was standing a few steps behind.

Gibbs called Abby's name, but didn't receive any answer. The lab was in chaos. There were test tubes everywhere on the floor and Abby's Coffee-Pow spilled on the floor as well. Gibbs slowly took a few steps forward and called again.

"Abby!" Still nothing in return.

It was then that he saw her body lying motionless and covered in blood. He ran to her, as did Tony…

"Call an ambulance!" Gibbs and Tony yelled in unison.

At that, McGee managed to shake himself and took his cell phone out of his jacket pocket.

Ziva, who watched the scene without saying a word, noticed something strange blinking somewhere behind a counter. She carefully passed and came closer to what was shining. Then she saw that it was knife, the same knife that probably injured Abby.

"I found…. the knife, Gibbs, but I've also found something else…"

Gibbs looked up at Ziva and then his eyes went to Tony. Without a word, Tony went to see what she had found. When he neared her, Tony called Ducky so he could come take a look. Jenny Sheppard knelt down beside Abby and Gibbs, who was still holding her, trying to apply some pressure to her wounds. Sheppard was about to lay her hand on Abby's wound, but Jethro shot her a glaring look.

Jenny opened her mouth to say something, but then she just got up and left the lab. What she'd seen in his eyes had hurt her, as if Gibbs had stabbed her heart.

She knew why he had looked at her with such eyes – Gibbs was in pain and he was angry. Jenny couldn't completely blame him, though he'd told her that Abby needed to work alone. He told her so, but she hadn't listened to him, and now Abby was bleeding badly because of her 'wanting to help'… or was it because of something else?

"Where is the damn ambulance?" Gibbs yelled.

"On its way, boss," Tim said.

"Boss, I think we have another problem over here…" Tony said, slowly.

"What?" he asked his younger officer, anger evident in his voice.

"Well…" Tony started softly.

"Well what?" Gibbs snapped out.

Tony hesitated a second, asking himself if he really had to tell his boss what he had just discovered.

Chip was in agony, but he was still alive and aware of everything that was happening. Tony was tempted to not tell his boss, but on the other hand he also wanted to know the reason why the forensic assistant had done this to his friend.

"Well, DiNozzo?" berated Gibbs, still holding Abbs's bloodstained body close to him.

"We need another ambulance, here, boss." Tony confessed, finally looking Gibbs straight in the eye.

It took Gibbs a split second to register the information. Tony could see the instant when his boss realized the implication of he'd just said, because the sadness in his eyes had been replaced by anger, even rage.

"Come over here, DiNozzo," Gibbs told him calmly, too calmly.

"Boss I don't think…"

"Don't make me say it twice, DiNozzo," Gibbs warned.

Tony reluctantly stood up and went to his boss, who was still holding his lab tech. Tony kneeled next to his best friend and took her from Gibbs.

"McGee, go check out where the damn ambulance is! Because if she's not here in two and a half minutes, I'm gonna kick your ass and fire you," he told his still on probationary agent.

"On it, boss!"

Gibbs went to Chip, clearly enraged. Someone who really knew him could see that his eyes were brimming with tears. He could not understand why on earth someone would want to hurt Abigail Sciuto – she was kind, lovely, helpful, an amazing friend… no, Gibbs could definitely not understand the reason why someone would want to harm Abby.

Tony, who was now holding Abby in his arms, realized how badly his friend was hurt when he held her closer to him. His shirt started becoming red the second he had placed her against his chest. Tony felt a wave of fear run through him.

TBC…
