Once McGee and Ziva had made it safely into the elevator, they could not comprehend what they had heard.
"Can you believe this? Tony! What a liar!"
"I know! And telling you that Gibbs and Abby were sleeping together just so he could justify using Abby like that!"
"It's sick!" Ziva proclaimed, leaning against the elevator wall. "Poor Abby. Not only is she the subject of a rumor but she is doing…that with Tony!"
"What are we going to do about this?"
"I don't know about you, but I am going to give Tony hell for this!" She shook her fist in the air

5 minutes previously, in the lab…
Tony walked into Abby's lab, feeling a little out of place. It was very odd to know that where you are this very moment, is where someone else was having sex hours before. Tony shook off the feeling.
"Hey, Abbs," Tony greeted her.
"Hey, Tony!" She said happily, her skirt swinging in the air when she turned around to give him a warm welcome.
"What are you up to?"
"Nothing much. Everything I need done by the rest of the day is in the very capable hands of Mister Mass Spec. now." She patted her machinery.
Tony looked through the ballistics lab with a tilt of his head and saw into her office from the open door. He noticed the pile of scattered files on the floor that had been there since…the incident. "Reorganizing your files again, Abby?"
"Huh?" She moved to where Tony was standing to see what he was talking about. She blushed noticeably. "Oh! I forgot about those. Those are some papers I need to get to evidence lock up. They, uh, they must have fallen down."
He knew that the papers were from earlier. "Yeah, I guess so. I could help you clean them up, if you want."
"That'd be great, Tony."
They both went into her office and he closed the door halfway.
Tony and Abby got the files back in order and placed them into a duffel bag to bring to evidence lock up.
"Thanks so much, Tony."
"Hehe, anytime, Abbs."
"I can't believe the mess I made."
Tony put the last file in and zipped up the bag. "It could happen to anyone. I'm just surprised that you were able to go this long without noticing what you'd done."
"I haven't been this clumsy for a while."
He laughed. "I find that hard to believe."
"Hey!" She punched him playfully. She stopped for a moment and looked through the open door into her lab.
"What?"
"Eh, nothing. I just thought I heard someone." Hmm…

When McGee and Ziva made it back up to the bullpen and to their desks, Gibbs was waiting at his own. He noticed that Tony wasn't with them.
"Where's DiNozzo?" He demanded.
Ziva and McGee glanced at each other. "Still at lunch," Ziva said smiling.
He turned to Tim. "McGee, where is he, really?" Gibbs glared.
"Well, uh, he's…Abby's lab."
"Was that so hard?" He asked rhetorically while circling them to get to the elevator.
"Boss, no, you can't go down there."
"And why not, McGee?"
"Well, she's busy."
Gibbs rolled his eyes and pressed the button for Abby's floor.
"She's busy with Tony." Tim couldn't help it as the words spilled from his mouth.
Gibbs' eyes widened but the doors closed before he could verbally respond.
Ziva made a run for the stairs.
"Where are you going?" McGee asked as he chased after her.
"We have to get Tony out of there! We need to beat the elevator before Gibbs beats Tony!"
:::X:::
Busy with Tony? Gibbs thought. That was ridiculous. Abby knew that all of his flirtatiousness was just him being himself, she would never take him seriously. But if Tony was given the opportunity…
I'll kill him!

Sorry it's so short! I didn't want to give a lot away in just one chapter! What are your thoughts?
