Okay, so just as a warning this chapter is VERY short. It's just kinda a filler chapter. Don't worry though cause I'm working on the next chapter right now. I will have it up today. I promise(:

Somebody was at the door, and they were quite impatient too. They wouldn't quit knocking even after Abby told them she was coming.

"I'm coming! Jeeze. Somebody's impatient today." Abby muttered to herself. She reached the door and opened it only to find Col. Hollis Mann standing at the door.

"Hi. Um. Gibbs went to get some Chinese. Want to come in?" Abby offered. Not exactly sure of what to say. She never really got along with Hollis, but she made Gibbs happy so that was all that mattered to Abby. Gibbs was like her father and if he was happy, she'd put up with Mann.

Hollis Mann, on the other hand, was glad she was trained to hide her emotions because right now she was furious. She had expected Jethro to open the door not his forensic scientist, who was dressed in only a plaid black and red tank top and a pair of very short black shorts. "Yes."

Abby stepped back so Mann could enter the house. After she did, Abby shut the door and resumed her position on the couch. She pulled her black blanket over her and waited. The silence was long and very awkward.

"So. How long did Jethro leave?" Hollis asked.

"About ten or fifteen minutes ago." Abby replied.

They slipped back into the uncomfortable silence. Eventually, Hollis finally asked the question that Abby had been waiting for, "So you're staying here tonight?"

"Yea. I'm sure you heard about Damien Radcliff? Well. I was there that night that he killed himself and Gibbs said I could stay here for a while."

"But that was four days ago." Hollis said.

"Oh yea. I guess it has been."

Hollis figured she'd ask what was really bugging her. "So, how long are you planning on staying here?"

Abby thought for a moment, she really didn't have any idea. "Um. Probably another day or so. Why?"

"Because I don't really appreciate that you're staying at my boyfriend's house." Hollis snapped. Abby's eyes widened when she finally realized what Hollis was thinking.

"Oh no! I mean we would never. I wouldn't- I'd never!" Abby stuttered.

"Good. And see to it that you don't because he's my boyfriend. Not yours." Hollis growled.

Abby opened her mouth to reply, to tell her how she loved Gibbs as a father, but the front door opened. Abby shut her mouth and pulled out her iPod and began to play with it like nothing had happened.

"Hey Abbs, sorry they didn't have your favorite so I got you some- Hollis?" Gibbs asked when he seen his girlfriend standing in the room.

"Hello Jethro. I just thought I'd stop in and see you." Hollis said in a sweet voice.

"If you would have called I would have brought you something too." Gibbs offered as he sat the food down on the coffee table.

"Oh it's alright. I guess I'll be going and let you guys get back to your night. And Abby?" Abby looked at Hollis, "Don't forget what I said." Hollis said in a happy voice as she walked out of the door.

"What was all that about?" Gibbs asked.

"Oh her, nothing. She just gave me some dating advice.." Abby put on the best fake smile she could. Surprisingly Gibbs seemed to buy it. "So what'd you get me?"

Gibbs chuckled.
