After a few minutes, Drake extracted himself from Tony.
"You wanna go see Abby?" Tony asked quietly.
Drake looked up. Unsure.
"C-Can I?" he asked.
Tony nodded.
"Of course you can." Tony stood up and held a hand out to help the still nervous teen up. "I'll bring you too her." He glanced over ad saw the confused team. "Hold on a sec. I'll be right back." Tony quickly went over to Gibbs.
"DiNozzo-" Gibbs began.
"I'll explain later." Tony glanced over at Drake, who was once again wringing his hands together. "Can you guys make do without me at the moment?"
Gibbs sighed. He hated going out after a lead a man down. Anything could happen. He'd learned that from experience.
"You're gonna have a hell of a lot of explaining to do when I get back DiNozzo." he finally said. But, he was willing to let it slide, considering the teen looked like he was gonna have a heart attack if Tony wasn't back soon.
Tony gave him a small smile.
"Thanks Boss." He went back over to Drake and led him towards the stairwell.
"Abby!" Tony shouted over the music.
The Goth spun around.
"Tony!" she squealed as she ran over and hugged him.
"Easy Abbs." he said as he returned the hug. "You free?"
Abby pulled away and nodded.
"Yep! Just finished my work for Agent Harris' case and I'm a free bird." She smiled. "So, whadya need?"
Tony gave her a small smile.
"First, I need you to calm down." he placed both hands on her shoulders. "Second, I need you to be understanding." he paused. "Drake's here and-" she cut him off.
"Drake?" she gasped. "But, he's never come into work before! I mean, you haven't even told Gibbs about-"
"Abby!" Tony raised his voice. "Focus!"
"Right."
Tony sighed. "I didn't bring him in." he held up a finger as Abby opened her mouth to speak. "He came looking for me." he closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "He had another panic-anxiety attack."
"Aww! Poor baby!" Abby pouted. From day one of her and Drake meeting they had instantly clicked.
"I know." Tony sighed once more "And on top of that, the rest of the team found out." he took a deep breath. "Can he just, I dunno, hang out and crash here for a while?" he asked.
Abby nodded.
"Of course he can." She was happy to help in any way she could, especially knowing about Drake's past.
Tony gave her a genuine DiNozzo smile.
"Thank you so much." he hugged her. "I'll go get him." he pulled away and left the lab.
Moments later, he re-entered the lab, an obviously terrified Drake in-tow.
"Hey Drake." she gave him a warm, welcoming, gentle smile.
Surprising both of them, Drake offered a small smile back.
"Hi Abby." he said quietly.
Tony placed a hand on Drake's neck and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"I'll be back in twenty. Okay?"
Drake nodded.
"Come on," Abby took Drake's hand and began to lead him into her office. "I wanna show you what I wanna get for a new tattoo."
Tony smiled and left the lab.
Fifteen minutes later, Tony entered the bullpen, a large rectangular case in hand.
"Hey Tony," Tim called from his desk.
Tony looked over as he leaned the case against his desk.
"Yeah McGee?" he said looking at the junior agent.
"Gibbs wants to see you down in autopsy."
Tony sighed.
"When?" he asked.
"As soon as you got back."
Tony muttered a few colorful words under his breath.
"Alright." he turned and began walking towards the elevator.
"You might want to be quick." Ziva said as Tony passed. "He was not happy when you asked if you could be left behind."
"Yeah, yeah," Tony waved her off. "I'm going, I'm going."
When the elevator dinged, Tony took a deep breath, and walked off the lift, and through the pressurized doors.
Gibbs heard the sound of the doors and turned.
Tony saw his boss' expression and swallowed hard.
You're a dead man Anthony. he thought to himself.
