"What the hell do you mean by 'you lost McGee'?" Abby asked, her voice surprisingly calm.
"Well. Uh, I think Ziva should answer that question," Tony replied and pushed the Israeli towards Abby before stepping back and leaning against the table that held Abby's 'babies'.
"He is not really lost. We just have not been able to contact him at all," Ziva said, trying her best to explain in a positive manner.
After all, you don't want an out of control Abby on your hands.
"Are you sure this isn't just lke when Sarah was being framed?" Abby asked.
"Yep, we called her about an hour ago. She's in California with a few friends. And she also said she hasn't heard from him in a few days, which is unusual for McGoober," Tony said.
"This is a situation where I should be freaking out. But don't worry. I'll stay calm," Abby said and put her arms out in front of her, turning towards Ziva who automatically moved into a fighting stance.
"Ziva, hug her. Don't punch her," Tony said quickly, worried that Ziva might actually attack Abby.
Ziva grumbled for a few seconds but then gave in. She went into a neutral stance and allowed Abby to hug the air out of her lungs.
"See? That wasn't so ba- oof!" Tony was cut off as Abby also engulfed him into an embrace.
He hadn't even seen her move towards him.
"Okay. I'm good now," Abby let go of Tony and stepped back, taking a deep breath before turning back towards her computer.
"Well, Tony and I better get back upstairs. I believe Gibbs wanted us to write some reports," Ziva smiled apologetically and quickly stepped towards the door before Abby decided to launch another hug attack.
"Wait! You can just ask him if he wants you to do reports," Abby said before they could leave, holding up her phone that showed 'Silver Fox calling".
"How does he do that…It's like he has super Gibbs powers that tell him when to call people," Tony waved his hands around while he spoke, as if to illustrate the magical being that was their leader.
Ziva just looked at him like he was an idiot. Which, at some times, he was.
"Well, SuperGibbs wants you two upstairs," Abby shut her phone. The phone call had only lasted long enough for Gibbs to mutter a few words. "He says it's important."
"Alrighty. Ninja, let's go. See ya, Abbs," Tony moved over to her and gave her a little fist bump.
"Keep me updated!" Abby said as she watched them leave.
Tim stepped out of the elevator and pulled tightly down on his shirt, getting rid of the nonexistent creases.
He was at the Navy Yard. Not back to work, though. Just to pick up k9 Jethro.
Tim took a deep breath and walked over to the bullpen. Tony and Ziva were not there, and much to Tim's surprise, neither was Gibbs.
Tim was getting a bit angry when he heard someone clear his or her throat behind him.
He turned and almost bumped into the boss man.
"McGee," Gibbs said in a surly tone, walking around him and heading t his desk where he out his fresh coffee down and turned back towards his agent.
"Gibbs," Tim replied, biting his lower lip, as he looked Gibbs up and down.
Tim had always had many dark fantasies of what he would do with Gibbs.
"You've been off the maps. No one's heard from you. You gave no notice. What the hell, McGee?" Gibbs raised his eyebrows at the younger man and crossed his arms.
"I gave an email notice that I would be taking a vacation. It's just that you are too archaic to turn on your computer and check your mail. Therefore, it should be 'what the hell, Gibbs' not 'what the hell, Tim'," Tim snapped. He was quite annoyed with being blamed for someone else's failure. That happened way too much around this stupid place.
"Just because you're on vacation does not mean you have permission to disrespect me!" Gibbs barked, taking a step closer to Tim, who stood still, a cocky grin stuck on his face.
"Oh Jethro, you don't scare me. You never have," Tim also took a step forward, still grinning.
Gibbs just looked at him with a dumbstruck and confused look. His agents never called him Jethro.
Tim moved quickly while Gibbs was still a bit distracted, and the younger man was soon inches away from the older.
Had this been early in the morning, there would be many agents whispering and pointing at the scene. But, it was late and Gibbs and Tim were the only ones on the level.
Gibbs tried to step away from Tim and make the situation less uncomfortable, but Tim put his hands around Gibbs's wrists and pulled him close.
The two were now chest to chest, and Tim was staring hungrily down at Gibbs.
"McGee, what're you doin-" Gibbs was cut off by plump lips being pressed against his chapped ones.
The sensation was…strange. Gibbs had kissed a man before, but Tim didn't exactly have rough lips like the other man. He also didn't have as soft lips as any woman he had kissed.
Tim just felt like Tim.
Right when Gibbs was about to push back, make the kiss fiercer, Tim pulled away.
"That was just as I had expected it to be," Tim licked his lips and stepped back.
"I…I don't understand," Gibbs stepped away quickly, hitting his legs on the front of his desk, causing him to plop down on the top of the desk.
"Don't worry. There's not much to understand. I've just always wanted to do that, among other things. But I'm pretty sure that I could get arrested for having my way with you in here," Tim shrugged and turned on his heel.
"Oh, and tell Palmer not to worry when he gets into work tomorrow. I took Jethro home."
Gibbs watched him go, speechless.
How had Tim known that they were keeping the dog down in autopsy? Why had Tim kissed him? And most importantly, what changed his agent?
Gibbs reached a hand into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He quickly hit number 3 and the phone called Abby.
Once she picked up, he told her to send Tony and Ziva up.
He needed to tell them what had happened. But, he figured that he would leave out the kiss.
Gibbs also decided that he would make Tony teach him how to use emailing. Again.
But that could wait. What mattered most was talking to his agents and discussing the strangeness of Tim.
His agent had not been himself. And it was his job to find out why.
Hey guys.
Yes, I'm still alive. And really sorry for the long wait. I just couldn't write.
Blame writer's block.
Well. I hope you enjoyed this.
And quick note, Tim isn't going to cheat on Luke. They kinda have an open relationship. Know what I mean?
Anywho. I hope to be updating again soon. I'll be on vacation and I'll have a LOT of tim to just write.
See you soon.
