Hey Guys! Here's a new story! It's mostly Gibbs and Abby this time but will include everyone. There also WILL be some TIVA eventually. This isn't really a TIVA story but they will be in it quite a bit. They won't appear for a few chapters though. Please read AND review! But PLEASE keep the reviews critiquing of the story it self and grammer issues! I will NOT accept ANY actor or character bashing in reviews! It's unkind and unnecessary. I don't own any of these characters. They all belong to Donald Bellisario and CBS. Only characters I own are the ones you don't recognize from the show! This story takes place in season 14. Enjoy!
It was a quiet day at NCIS. The new team members were settling in and just getting the feel of the place.
"Hey Bishop, Where's the Huntington file?",asked Special Agent Nick Torres.
"Uh, It should be under 'H'.", Special Agent Elenor Bishop said.
"It's not in here.", Torres said. Ellie got up and went over to the filing cabinate. She soon found out that Torres was right.
"Well, It's gotta be here.", she said as she kept looking. Special Agent Tim McGee came over and said,
"I'll take a look. Alex, Can you bring the flash light?" Special Agent Alexandra Quinn dug through her desk and found a flash light. She brought it over to Tim and then asked,
"Where's Gibbs?"
"In Talking to Vance…. oh hey, I found it.", Tim back away from the cabinate and held up the file before handing it to Torres.
"Well, I'm guessing Tony did the filing before he left. We havn't organized it since and Though he has many good qualities and skills, updating files isn't one of them and neither is cleaning out drawers.", Bishop quipped. Things got quiet after that. Tim and Ellie both missed Tony alot. Before anyone could say a word, they heard a voice say,
"What're you all just standing around for? There's work to do."
"Do we have a case,Boss?", asked Torres.
"Not yet. But you know as well as I do that it could happen any second.". Special Angent Leroy Jethro Gibbs said. The others nodded. This was true. Suddenly, the phone rang. Gibbs gave his team a look that clearly said,
"I Told you so." before picking up the phone and saying,
"Yeah, Gibbs." The team watched as his face grew pale. He listened and then spoke again.
" WHAT?!When? Oh my G*d…. How is she? Yeah, I'll bet. She has to be devastated… Yeah, I made it official several years ago….. K. I'll be on the next flight out. Thanks, Maria. Bye." Gibbs hung up the phone and stood frozen for a second rubbing his forehead as if he had a headache.
"Gibbs?", Bishop asked, timidly. She recieved no response.
"Boss, do we have a case?", Torres asked.
"Who was on the phone, Boss?", asked McGee. Gibbs didn't reply. Instead he turned quickly and headed back up to Vance's office.
"What's that about?", asked Forensic specialist Abby Sciuto who'd just joined the group.
"No idea. What are you doing up here, Abby?", Quinn replied.
"It's too quiet down in Labby so I decided to come up and see what you guys had going on.", Abby said. Bishop was the one to respond
"Well, Abbs, it was pretty quiet up here too, until the boss got that phone call. Whatever it was didn't sound good."
"Yeah. After he hung up it was like he was in a trance or something. Then he just suddenly took off for the Director's office.", Torres said. Abby was starting to feel worried at this point.
"I hope everything's ok." McGee went over and put an arm around his old friend.
"Me too, Abbs. Me too." Then the group sat in silence, looking at Vance's office door. After what seemed like forever, Gibbs came back down to the squad room. The team noticed that Vance was watching from the top of the stairs with a concerned expression. When Gibbs reached the group, he looked straight at Abby and said,
"Abbs, with me." Abby nervously followed him and they got in the elevator. Gibbs pushed the button to stop it, and the two of them were plunged into dim blue light. Abby looked at Gibbs and said,
"Gibbs, What's going on? I know something's wrong." Gibbs sighed and leaned back against the elevator wall.
"There's something I need to talk to you about, Abbs. I need to ask you something personal. I want you to think seriously about it before giving me an answer."
"What is it Gibbs? You're scaring me.", Abby said softly. Gibbs just looked at her for a long moment and Abby held her breath and tried to brace herself for what was coming.
Well, there's chapter one. I am sorry if it was slightly slow. It will pick up in future chapters. I'm just getting started! So what do you thing Gibbs wants to talk to Abby about? Who was on the phone? Tune in Monday to find out! Remember ALL constructive reviews are MUCH appreciated! Please don't forget! Catch ya later!
