A Short Time Later.
"So what you got for me McGee?"
"Nothing. How about you?"
"The WE killer."
"Like Wii? That's almost worse than P2P." He chuckles.
"No, not Wii. It's WE; W..." she pauses and then continues "E".
"And that means?"
"Wickedly evil." She grins.
"So he..." McGee pauses. "Sorry. So he or she would be the wickedly evil killer?"
"Yeah. Actually maybe we need to give this some more thought."
"Or maybe none at all" he mutters quietly.
"What?"
"Nothing. Can we talk about something else?"
"Oh, okay then. So what do you think about the whole TEJ thing?"
"Well if you're right about them..."
"When am I ever wrong McGee?" she interrupts a little testily.
Deciding it is best to ignore that he continues. "I think it could be a very good thing."
"What? Are you out of your MIT refined mind McGee. How could that possibly be a good thing?"
"Just listen Abby. You know Tony and Ziva can't get together without there being some major ramifications for team Gibbs. Anyway, I think they've both missed their chances there already. Too much has gone on between them for them to make it work."
"Not that I necessarily agree but what's your point?"
"Don't you want Tony to be happy?"
"Yes." She frowns at him uncertain where he is going with this.
"I think a stable relationship if he ever managed to keep one going would be good for him. Lately he's been happier than I've seen him in a long time perhaps even since Jeanne Benoit. If E.J. is the cause shouldn't we wish them luck? Doesn't he deserve a shot a happiness?"
"Sure but you're forgetting one thing."
"Rule twelve? But Barrett isn't on our team."
"No, Tim. What you're forgetting is that Gibbs doesn't like her and I know the Bossman. He must have a reason for not liking her and that is why TEJ must not be allowed to continue. This could be worse for NCIS and especially team Gibbs than Mimmy Plee."
"Mimmy Plee?"
"It sounds slightly better than Jichelle Lalmer." She grins and takes a swig of her beer.
"G shell llama? What are you talking about Abs?" He stares at her.
"Keep practicing Tim. You don't have the stare down yet. Mimmy Plee is what I call the whole Jimmy and Lee disaster. I don't need to remind you how that ended." She sighs.
"No." He glances at his watch. "It's getting late. Want me to walk you to your hearse?"
"Thanks McGee. You're such a gentleman."
As she walks towards the door with him following he smiles to himself at the thought of Mimmy Plee. Abby sure does have an original mind he thinks. It is not until much later lying in his bed unable to sleep that he begins to worry. Her thought processes might be somewhat hinky but she usually does come up with the right result especially about people. If what she was thinking was right about Tony, E.J. and Gibbs the team would definitely be in for some interesting times ahead.
