I just think it feels like everyone has a secret in season 3 in NCIS. I also needed closure because of everything that has happened in NCIS. This is my closure, a fanfic.
……………21st of November 2005………….A Monday…………..
"So it's almost half past 8 and they aren't here. McGee do you know anything about this?" Gibbs asked him.
"I have no idea. I can go ask Abby." McGee said feeling a bit uncomfortable. Kate and Tony had never come this late and they had never both been late at the same time. He knew that in the back of Gibbs head the worries about that something horrendous could have happened to them. It wasn't like them not coming to work without a valid reason or at least a phone call.
"Just don't stand there…"Gibbs told him. Then McGee quickly went to Abby.
…………..
"Abby, do you know where Tony and Kate are at?" he asked her.
"No. Aren't they here?" she asked while working on her computer.
"No. I tried calling their cells but no one answered. Gibbs is getting worried and so am I." McGee told her.
Abby got a strange look on her face but McGee was behind her so he didn't see it. Abby finished what she was doing on her computer, turned it off and went up from her chair.
"Abby…"McGee said wondering why she didn't say anything and why she turned off her computer.
"I'll better go to Gibbs. We should try calling them again. Have you tried calling home to them?" Abby asked him.
"Not yet but I was going to. I get the feeling you know something I don't know." McGee told her.
"I know just as much as you know. You should concentrate on making Gibbs not finding out what we know. Please don't screw it up right now." Abby told her with a hint of a warning.
Then she took her coat and keys and left her lab. McGee followed her trying to act cool just as he had done ever since he found out something a month ago.
……………….
"Abby, do you know anything?" Gibbs asked when they arrived.
"No. Let's try calling their homes. I'll call their homes while you keep on trying with their cells." Abby suggested and she knew they would do as she said. Gibbs monitored their work while they called. Two minutes later Abby and McGee had finished calling.
"No one was home." Abby concluded.
"They didn't answer this time either." McGee told him.
"If an urgent case appears then they can reach us on our phones. Now we just have to go home to them and see if everything is ok. While driving there we can call hospitals too." Gibbs ordered with a strong voice.
"Is something going on, boss?" McGee asked.
"I don't know. We'll see when we get there." Gibbs told them. He didn't want to lie to them but he had strict orders and he had to obey them.
"I have an extra set of keys to Tony's house. We can go there first." Abby quickly blurted out.
Gibbs just looked at her.
"I would have expected you would have keys to Kate's place but not Tony's." McGee told her.
"I did but I lost them. I still have Tony's and he thought it would be good if I had them in case something happened to him and today we need them." Abby answered. She feared what Gibbs reaction would be when they came to the house but she knew and Kate and Tony knew this day would come sooner or later. It was inevitable.
………….At Tony's house………..
They stepped out of the car. Looked at the surroundings and walked to the door. Gibbs slowly went up the stairs. It had been a while since he had been here but he remembered how it looked like. Then he saw the sign with names next to the door. Gibbs then walked down the stairs again and checked their mailbox. Three names were on it. He didn't get confused but a bit shocked. He then looked up at Abby and McGee who stood there looking at him. He knew they knew and that they had known for a while but they didn't know what he knew. Abby opened the door and she and McGee went in.
"Abby, why didn't you tell me? I know you knew!" McGee asked her.
