Chapter 2
Monday morning McGee arrived at work before everybody else, as usual. The first to arrive was Gibbs.
" Morning McGee. "
" Morning Boss. "
Gibbs opened the drawer in his desk and put in his badge and gun. Sipping on his coffee he looked at the young agent.
" So how did it go? "
" Well. It was nice. "
" Nice? "
" I talked a lot. "
They heard the sounds of chains and hurried steps.
" MCGEEEEEEEE! McGee! McGee! McGee! McGee! "
Abby ran straight to his desk.
" Soooooo, how did it go? Tell me everything. What did she say? How long did you talk? Did she brought the kids? What did you talk about? "
" Abby, Abby. You're talking too fast. "
" Sorry. "
She walked to Gibbs's desk and sat on it, looking at McGee, practically jumping with excitement.
" It was all, as she put it, nice. And no, she did not bring the kids. "
" What did you talk about? "
" Well, I talked. She said I already knew everything there was to know about her, and she didn't know anything about me. So she just sat there while I talked about myself. "
" So, you think she's warming up to you yet? " She asked.
" No. It took her minutes just to build up the courage to enter the restaurant. I think she'll call me, but she very cautious. But I'm hopeful. "
" When are you meeting again? "
" I don't know Abby. She said that she will call me. When she has free time. "
" That could be in like...forever! "
" I know Abby. But all I can do is be patient. "
She stood from the table and walked over to him. She placed her hands on his shoulders.
" I'm going to send positive thoughts for you. She will call, soon. You'll see. "
He smiled at her excitement.
" Thank you Abby. "
" You're welcome Timmy! " She said, walking away, back to her lab.
That day he had to describe his meeting with Madeline several times, the whole team was curious.
