Jenny stayed with Abby, and eventually Abby got tired of watching Jenny play computer Solitaire and walked over to her stereo, saying, "Do you mind, Director?"

"As long as you call me Jenny, no. Go ahead. But I do have a request."

"Which is, Jenny?" Abby said, stressing the 'Jenny' part. Jenny smiled, and said,

"As long as you don't play it too loud." A smile crossed Abby's face and she nodded, saying,

"Okay. I can do not too loud." Jenny nodded, going back to concentrating. Abby flipped the music on, and began wandering around her lab, her mind wandering back to, of course, Gibbs.

"Hey Jenny?" She called, and Jenny was at her side in a flash, her hand holding her gun.

"What is it?"

"Oh, it's nothing, really, I was just wondering, well, actually hoping, that you won't call Gibbs and tell him." Abby said timidly, and Jenny holstered her gun, saying,

"I won't tell Jethro, if that's what you want. But I'm sure he'd want to know, Abby…"

"I know, I know, but if he doesn't want anything to do with us, then he has to pay the consequences." Abby said defiantly, and Jenny smiled. But then Abby's defiant composure slipped a little and she said, "He always said that he'd protect me. Was he just saying that, Jenny?"

"I'm sure he meant it, Abby. He's just, he just needs time to think about where he's going in his life."

"That's bull, and you know it." Abby said, and Jenny had to smile as Tony, McGee and Ziva came striding in, with both McGee and Ziva glowering at Tony.

"What the hell happened?" Jenny demanded, facing the three agents. Before they could speak, she said, "I sent you there to apprehend an escaped convict. But no, you had to let the bastard get away, giving him ample opportunity to find and/or attack Abby. Now, is that what you want?"

"No, Director." Tony said ashamedly, and then turned his gaze to Abby. "Abbs, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault, I went after Mawher and chased him to his car, and I got in my car to follow him, but instead, when I looked, he was gone, and his car was still there. Abby, I, it's my fault, I'm so, so sorry,"

"Remember what Gibbs said?" Abby said, a smile on her face.

"Um…" Tony said, thinking. Ziva came up with it and said,

"Ah. Never apologize, it's a sign of weakness, yes?"

"Yeah, Ziva, that's right." McGee said, and Abby nodded at Tony, smiling. She skipped in front of him and threw her arms around his neck, saying quietly,

"And by the way, I forgive you. He's a slippery devil, and don't worry, you'll catch him. I believe that with all my heart, kay Tony?"

"Yeah," Tony said, backing away from Abby. "Thanks Abbs." He said, and Abby nodded, smiling.

"So, do I get to go home, or am I getting shipped off to someone's house?" She said, walking to the entrance on her office.

"I'll take her, if you approve, Director." Ziva said, and Jenny thought about it.

"You know what, all of you, call me Jenny. I'm tired of this 'director' crap, so just call me Jenny. Unless you're mad at me, then call me Director. But I think Abby staying with you, Ziva, is a great idea. In fact, I think a sleepover would be best." While everyone thought about that, Jenny turned to walk out.

"Um, Jenny?" Abby called, and Jenny turned back around. "Thanks." Abby added, and Jenny nodded, smiling and saying,

"Be safe, Abby. And if she is even scratched by Mawher, I will personally call Jethro and tell him." Jenny walked out, leaving after putting the fear of Gibbs into all three agents. Abby grabbed her coat and turned to the three agents, saying cheerfully,

"So, who's gonna come over for a sleepover?"

"Well, we shall see, won't we Abby?" Ziva asked, and the two women walked out with smiles on their faces. Tony and McGee waited a few minutes, and then faced each other.

"I'll be at Ziva's in 20 minutes, Probie." Tony said,

"And so will I." McGee replied, and they both took off to grab their coats. They hurried up to race back to Ziva's, because they would be damned if they were going to let Mikel Mawher touch a single hair on Abby's head.

Around midnight, after all the games and face-masks and finger and toenail painting sessions, Abby and Ziva were sitting on the couch, watching the movie, "Twilight." Tony and McGee were taking turns at the front door of her apartment and the windows. When the movie was over, Ziva and Abby began making the bed in the spare bedroom, chatting about the movie.

"So who do you think was hotter, Edward or Jacob?"

"Well, the actor that played Jacob is very hot, but in the movie, I believe Edward was the hottest."

"I totally agree. Now, Jasper or Emmett?"

"I'll have to go with Emmett." Ziva said, and Abby looked shocked.

"No way! Jasper is better-looking!"

"Uh, Abby, he looks like he's in pain all the time!"

"Uh, duh! Ziva, he's a newborn vampire basically, it's hard for him to control his blood-thirsting instincts!" Abby said, and then they both looked at each other.

"We are arguing over the hotness of vampires in a movie." Ziva said flatly, and Abby burst out laughing, with Ziva following. When Abby was able to get her breath back, she said,

"But, I still think, Carlisle is really sexy for his age."

"That we can agree on." Ziva said, getting her breath back as well. They finally got the bed made, and Ziva left a stun gun on Abby's bedside table as she left.

"Night Ziva!" Abby called, and Ziva poked her head back in.

"Goodnight, Abby. If, by some God forsaken chance, Mawher gets in here, scream as loud as you can…"

"And stun the crap outta him, right?" Abby interrupted, and Ziva smiled, nodding and shutting the door behind her. Abby snuggled down between the covers, missing the comforts of her coffin.

As she drifted off, her dreams were filled with Gibbs, Jethro, and more Gibbs. She wondered what he was doing in Mexico, whether he was building something from hand, or drinking beer, or swimming, or just doing nothing. She didn't really know, and she wasn't about to find out, either, because suddenly, someone invaded her dreams.

Mikel Mawher decided to make an appearance, and then decided to stay all night, erasing Gibbs completely and taking his place, though then the dreams turned into nightmares. Eventually, Abby woke up in a sweat, almost sobbing out Gibbs' name, begging him to save her. She felt cold hands on her face, and turned to see Ziva sitting there, saying loudly,

"Abby! Abby, calm down, it is just a dream!"

Abby took a deep breath and did calm down, letting Mikel's image fade away as she heard Tony and McGee stride into the bedroom, drawing their guns. Ziva held up a hand to stop them from raising their guns and frightening Abby more. They all sat around Abby, waiting for her to say something. She took a deep breath and said,

"Ziva, teach me how to shoot a gun." Ziva, McGee and Tony all traded looks, and she added, "Please?"

Ziva looked at her and sighed, nodding, saying, "Of course I will. I just thought you did not like guns."

"I don't, not really, but I want to know how to use one, and I want one for protection. But I want plastic bullets, not real ones." Abby said, and Ziva nodded.

"All right, Abby. Just go back to sleep, all right? It is only 3 in the morning!" Abby nodded, and the three agents left while Abby snuggled back under the covers, again falling victim to dreams of Gibbs.

For those of you that don't like Twilight or don't know what Twilight is (which is kinda hard to believe, but there are some that don't) I apologize, but I LOVE TWILIGHT so I had to add that in here. If you look up the characters, you'll understand what Abby and Ziva were talking about, if you don't know about them. Enough of my rambling, but I hope you liked this chapter! Thanks for reading, and adios for now!
