Abby jump away from Gibbs as quickly as two magnets repelling each other.

"What are you doing her McGee?" she said trying to hide the guilt from her voice.

Poor McGee wasn't quite sure what to say or where to look. Gibbs looked flustered, his shirt un-tucked from his trousers, hair all messy. If this was anyone else, if this was Tony he would swear he had just interrupted something. "umm… no one could get hold of you, so we did a GPS check…"

"And found me here" said Abby "so why not ring Gibbs?"
"We did, but no one answered, and we got worried"
"Aww McGee that's so sweet, but I'm fine, we're fine" Abby added with a very large smile.
"Was there another reason for the intrusion?" Asked Gibbs. He didn't want to push McGee out his door but right now he wanted Abby all to his self.
"Abby there's been an accident"
"is everyone alright?"

Gibbs put an arm around her for support

"Spit it our McGee"
"Your apartment builds on fire, and when no one could contact you, and when we couldn't find Gibbs…well…"

Abby stepped away from Gibbs and hugged McGee "you were worried, but I'm fine. How bad is it?"

"What?"
"The fire how bad is it?"
"It's bad Abby, its still burning"

Abby turned to look at Gibbs, he nodded "We'll meet you there McGee"

McGee cast one more look at his best friend and his boss before leaving. As he walked out the house his phone rang "Yes Tony I found them…both save…meeting us there…..nothing wrong….yeah se you there"

"You ok Abbys?" Gibbs said guiding Abby to the sofa
"I don't know" she relaxed into Gibbs touch "I need to see the damage first, I think"
"Stay here" It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Gibbs wanted Abby there, he needed her there.
"Are you sure"

Gibbs gave her 'that' look.
Abby smiled "Ok, I'm all yours"
"So am I" he whispered in to her ear before kissing her cheek "let's go se the damage.

The smoke from the fire was visible several blocks away.

"Oh God!" Abby said
Gibb reached over and touched her hand "It's ok, I'm here"
Abby returned the smile "I know"
Gibbs parked his car behind McGees. Waiting at the side of the road were Abbys friend from NCIS.

"It is good to see you save" Ziva said "we were worried when you did not answer your phone"
Abby looked a little embarrassed "Sorry I made you worry…I was…um…busy"
"We are just happy that you are alright"
"Stay here" Gibbs told Abby "I'll go see what's happening"

Abby loved the fact that she got to see al sides of Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Less than an hour ago he was this amazing man she had been kissing. Her cheeks turned red at the thought of what might have happened if McGee hadn't shown up. Now, here he was in full 'special agent' mode going to find out the fate of her apartment.

"You alright Abby, you look a bit flushed" Tony said
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine"
"Its got nothing to do with what young Timmy saw then?" Tony said smiling.

She wasn't sure how to answer that, she was positive he had see anything, but what if he had? Her usually busy brain was blank, what should she say.

"Just kidding" Tony said before Abby could say anything.
"You are very mean Tony" Ziva said jumping to her friends defence

Gibbs marched up to the fire chief "what we got here?" He said waving his NCIS badge at him.
"Something I need to know about"

Gibbs put his badge away "just an informal chat, a college has an apartment in this building, just want to know if the place is save"

"Depends what side the apartment is? I take it they weren't in there?"
"No, she was with me."

"That's good; there is a lot of structural damage. The fire started in the bottom left apartment" the chief said pointing the blackest part of the building "it was being renovated, looks like some solvents were left in the sun, fire took hold pretty quickly and it weren't for the chemicals on the 3d floor store room we could have had this under control a while ago. It's spread to the neighbouring apartments rapidly."

"What about the right side, her apartment is top right"
"Then she is a very lucky lady. The wind blew a lot of smoke through the building; she'll have a bad smell on a lot of things. Technically everything should be recoverable, if you can get there, the building is not a save place to be right now."
"I understand. Any change of getting a few things out tonight"
I'll see what I can do"
"I'll be over there" Gibbs said indicating Abby and the rest of his team.

"How bad is it?" Abby asked.
"Not as bad as it loos"
"But"

Gibbs half smiled, Abby knew his so well "but the building isn't safe. Your apartment looks like it's got away with just minimal damage."

"Can I get in there?"
"Fire chief going to see what he can do"
"If you need to, you can stay with me Abby" McGee said even though he suspected what her answer may be.
"I already have a place to stay, but thank you"
"Agent Gibbs?" the chief said approaching the small group
"Abby this is Fire Chief Thompson"
"How bad is it?"
"Not as bad as it looks. As I'm sure Agent Gibbs has already said, your apartment should be fine, but getting there will be an issue. I can't let you in until tomorrow. We may have to condemn the building. Is there someone you can stay with?"

"That's not a problem" Gibbs said instinctively putting an arm around her.
"I've got your details Agents Gibbs, I'll let you know when everything is save"
"Thank you" Gibbs said shacking the Fire Chiefs hand.
"What happens now?" Abby asked.
"Abby, if you want help tomorrow, you phone me" Ziva said before she said her goodbyes.

Tony and McGee both said similar things before they too left.

"I think I need a drink"
"I know just the place"
