*It has been two weeks and Gibbs has left to return to the Marines. They really didn't want to part, but they knew they would receive letters every couple of weeks.*

(We start with Abby's first letter to Gibbs)

Dear Jethro,

I started writing this the night you left. I just miss you so much already. Since that day we found out of our mutual feeling for each other, we have pretty much spent every minute that we could together. I miss you being here with me Jethro.

God I love using your first name. It is so…you. I mean it is strong, manly, and handsome. It doesn't say anything about your hair though. You have great hair and that is why you are MY silver-haired fox.

It's been a few days since I wrote last. The weekend is over and we are back to work. Having Tony in boss mode keeps him from annoying everyone in his usual way but he still gets on everyone's nerves. He is trying too hard to be you and run your team instead of running his team but sometimes it helps the rest of us forget that you are gone.

We all worry about you so much. Tony comes down to my lab twice a day just to ask how I am doing. He knows how I was last time you left us. I was in full break down mode but it I am not affected like I was last time because this time I know you will eventually come back to me and hopefully we will still have something to look forward to when you come back.

Tim is getting a kick out of being senior agent. He holds it over Ziva now but Tony is looking for a new temporary agent to fill the empty spot. Personally, I don't like the thought of having a new person on the team. You know how I am with replacements. Maybe you have a suggestion on who Tony can hire?

And now that you are back in the Marines, Vance is trying to change things around here. Like really change things. First, he was changing how the team worked. Everything has to be by the book., physical training sessions has been limited to once a week, and now he is making this a mandatory eight hour work day, 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and no overtime is getting paid! Then he came into my lab. You know I don't like him in MY lab but he started telling me how my music was too loud and my clothes were too small. I am sure he knows that you are coming back when the Marines are finished with you. I really hope he isn't going to try to talk you into retirement.

God I don't know what I would do without you at work anymore but I know you won't leave if you can help it. Maybe, if they make you, you could be my lab assistant. You don't need to know many science things to be able to be a lab tech's assistant. How great would that be, Jet? You and me, working all day together, side by side? Don't worry though Jet, I am not setting my heart on it, it is just a thought.

It is late Friday night now and will sind this out this weekend. I am just watching a movie now. It is an old one that took place back in World War II. One of the commanders strangely reminds me of you. I am sitting on the couch, eating ice cream and I already wish you were back with me wrapped up in your arms. Surprising what one change for such a small amount of time can do to you, huh?

This movie is so weird. It reminds me of work, but not completely, just mainly the relations between the characters.

Oh! I almost forgot! I smacked Tony for you today. I really needed to remind him that he isn't you. He's been very un-Tony lately and more of a bastard. He really just needed a reality check.

Now it Saturday and I am finishing this letter in the Post Office. Typical of me, huh? I just can't seem to stop writing. I miss you so much and I can't see myself stopping. I want you back with me, but I can wait til you are done with whatever the Marines want you for.

I miss you so, so much, Jethro, and I love you even more.

Yours Always and Forever,

Your Lab-Rat,

Abby Scuito
