Author's Note: So this is my latest story, and my first NCIS story. I know that this is obviously post-Twilight and therefore the pairing won't make sense but trust me, kay??
Disclaimer: Like I would have let Sasha leave! And if I had have let her leave, I would have written out a suitable Tate ending for her!!
McGee looked up from his desk to see that Tony still wasn't in.
"Hey, Ziva!"
"Yeah?"
"It's 9:55."
"Your point?"
"Where's Tony?" Ziva shrugged off the question and went back to the stack of paperwork on her desk, wondering how she had let it get this bad, or, for that matter, how Gibbs had let her. McGee went back to worrying. Glancing at his watch, He noticed there was three minutes until Gibbs would be back.
He decided to go down to Abby and see if Tony was there. When he got there, he saw the usually chipper lab technician looking miserable. Her pigtails were down and she wasn't wearing any make-up. In fact, she almost looked like she had been crying. Tim cleared his throat, startling Abby. After hiding something quickly behind her back, Abby turned around.
"Hey!" Abby plastered a fake smile on her face and faked a happy voice. "Please say you have something for me to do."
"Sorry, no. I was wondering if you knew why Tony's not in yet."
"Crap. He did this last year too." Abby immediately picked up her phone and punched in a number.
"Did what? Is it an important date today or something? What's going on?" She slammed in her phone, obviously in a frustrated state.
"He gets all depressed. Last year he drank himself half to death. I'm worried that he might do something really stupid." Abby punched in another number.
"What is it about this date, Abs?"
As soon as Abby said it, it explained her crying and Tony being depressed.
"Today would have been Kate's birthday, McGee."
