One. The Show Must Go On

To people who work here,

We will be holding a Halloween party this Friday at 7pm, in the squad

room to celebrate the popular American holiday.

Please don't be a party pooper, can come dressed in anything

you desire, but yourself, and join in the fun!

Oh, and please, if you can, bring some snacks, movies or drinks.

Love Abby! xo

The phone rang loudly through the office, but because of the heavy metal music blaring through the space, it was ringing quiet softly. Somehow, the friendly, and overly energized goth, managed to hear the sound, and rushed to pick the piece of technology up on the last ring. She was surprised to hear who was on the other end of the line; she certainly did not expect to hear from the director's assistant.

"Hello, Abby from Labby here." She greeted happily, and a smile spread on her face.

"Abby, hi, the director would like to see you in his office, immediately." The assistant spoke crisply, getting straight down to the point. Abby's smile dropped when the lady finished her sentence. The last time she got sent to the director's office, she was sent to Mexico with McGee. Although she loved Mcgee, he was sometimes too over protective of her. She figured it was about time to respond, but as she was in a slight state of shock, her words came out unconfident and broken.

"Uh, umm, yeah sure. I'll.. um be right up!" And she quickly shut the phone, and ran to the elevator as fast as she could in her platform boots.

. . .

She opened the firm door slowly, uncertain of its behind. As she stepped into the tidy, polished room, there he sat, in his black leather chair. Just like in a movie he swiveled the chair around to face her, when he heard the clinks of her boots.

"Miss Scuito, I will not keep you long from your work." He took a breath before he continued. "Are you out of your mind?" He shouted at her, which made her cringe at the same time as her little jump. "You should know that no worker is allowed to organize any event without the permission of me."

"B-b-b-u-t.." She began before he cut her off.

"No and's, if's or but's Miss Scutio!" He could see her bottom lip slightly trembling and sighed. "Because I don't want Gibbs to come kill me, as you are his favourite of his team, I will allow you to continue holding the arraignment. But do take note, that if it does get out of hand, I will be sending everyone home early."

"Oh thank you sir!" Abby exclaimed and started jumping for joy! As she left the room to got back down to Labby, he shouted so she could here.

"Just ask next time – " and the door slammed just before he could finish. He sighed and slumped down into his black leather chair, and sighed before pulling out his phone.

Disclaimer: Just going to do this once, I don't own it. But its my birthday in 61 days, I'll get back to you if anything changes. :)

A.N: I hope you liked! This will only be a few chapters, because I'm in year 10, and it's really busy already! And I don't want to leave you hanging on like my other stories - I will get back to them! I'm not going to be mean like some other authors who say they won't update unless they get so and so reviews, but if you did drop something by, that'd be muchly appreciated!
