Takings Risks- Chapter 1

It was 20:45, the office was quiet and empty, everyone had left for the night. The only light came from his desk. Jethro Gibbs sat at his desk going over the incident report his senior agent had typed up or at least trying to. He'd gone over the same paragraph 10 times in the last 15 minutes. Knowing he wouldn't be able to concentrate he leant back and gave into his thoughts which were centred on a certain Goth.

It seems like she's a better liar then she lets on. Out of all the people he thought would lie and keep secrets he never considered her, not once never did her name enter his mind. Not Abby. But looks like he was wrong

This Case had revealed things that shocked me. Not only because of the person they belonged to but because he didn't think they'd ever hide something like this from him. Not Abby. She had a Ex-boyfriend who turned out to be a stalker and had gotten a restraining order against him. Honestly it had hurt a little that she hadn't told me. I found out because there had been a accident in her lab. Accident more like a set up turns out someone else was trying to kill her.

When I asked her why she didn't tell me, she said 'I wanted him restrained Gibbs, not beaten to a pulp.'- have to give her credit. She knows me, I would have beaten any guy who even looked at her the wrong way. I wonder what else she has hidden from him just because she didn't want anyone to get hurt and if there worse. Like an abusive boyfriend. No. No she wouldn't hide that from me. Would she? Well you never thought she'd lie to you about something like this, so why couldn't she hide that from you? He asked himself

There was one question that I couldn't find a answer to, why?, why did she lie and hide it from him. He sat there trying to come up with a reasonable answer. The only thing that came to mind was that she didn't trust him enough. So if someone had hurt Abby- My Abby I wouldn't even know. It made him sick to think that someone hurt the women he loves.

Love. He gave up on that feeling on a long time ago especially when it came to her. How could someone like her- sweet, kind and caring love someone like me. Strict, difficult and old. So yeah he gave up on her ever feeling the same and blocked those feelings out. But this case had caused them to resurface. Not like they went.

He tried going back to the incident report but his mind kept driving him crazy and from past experience it would be until he found out. There was only one way to find out. Ask her. He entered the elevator and hit the button for the lab half hoping she'd be there half she wouldn't.


TBC... So how was it? Leave a review and let me know.
