Chapter IV: Can't Let Go

Gibbs, distracted by Abby's question (good for McGee), said, "Are you?"

Abby looked insulted by his tone of voice and said, "Gibbs! Have you ever known me to let you down!"

Even though Gibbs wanted say something austere to Abby, he couldn't. Looking into those joking/puppy dog eyes, he couldn't bring himself to talk her down. But that didn't mean he couldn't yell at McGee.

Gibbs suddenly turned to McGee and growled out, "McGee, why are you up here?"

McGee was waiting for his boss to pull out his gun and shoot him. When Gibbs didn't he saw that his boss was getting more annoyed, probably because McGee wasn't answering him. McGee finally answered while stuttering, "I-I thought she would like the help."

Gibbs let out a frustrated sigh and then said, "Have you ever known Abby not to finish a case by herself?" Before McGee could reply Gibbs continued, "No. I have never known her to do that, and I've known her longer than you McGee. So I suggest you take your hormonal self down to the bullpen and contact Abby's driver."

Before McGee could make a move, Gibbs caught his shoulder. McGee froze waiting for Gibb's fist to crash into his face, but it didn't. Instead, Gibbs said, "And McGee, Unless you want to be put through a life supply of sexual harassment classes, I would suggest you not make this happen a second time."

McGee couldn't have walked faster to the elevator right outside Abby's office. Abby watched him go and couldn't help but let out a happy, satisfied sigh. Gibbs turned to face her, "So Ms. Independent wants another assistant?"

Abby shook her head, "No Gibbs. It's ok." Abby thought for a second and looked at Gibbs with an amused facial expression and said, "Gibbs. Are you a little protective of me?"

Gibbs gave her a sideway glance and said, "So is this criminal going to get out of his crime."

Abby knowingly smiled and said, "Nope. I have sealed every entrance of his escape. Now all I have to do is present the evidence."

The phone in her office rang and Gibbs picked it up. It was McGee. McGee said without listening who was on the other end, "God Abby, I was sure he was going to kill me."

Gibbs smiled as McGee waited for a response but then McGee realized it wasn't Abby on the other line, "Oh no."

Gibbs said, "Don't get your hopes up McGee, I still might. Did you get a hold of Abby's driver?"

McGee said obediently, "Yeah, boss."

Gibbs replied, "Good. Oh, do you see those case papers on your desk?"

Gibbs heard McGee rustle some papers around and answered, "Yes, I do now."

Gibbs replied, "Good, do them. You better have them finished before Abby is done with her court appearance."

McGee sighed and said, "Ok, I will."

Gibbs said gruffly, "Do you have a problem?"

McGee suddenly said, "No. It's just I don't like working when I'm tired while doing-"

Gibbs cut him off, "Well you know what I don't like? I don't like coming into the lab and seeing you and Abby not doing your jobs and deciding to act like teenagers with raging hormones!"

McGee quickly said, "I'm on it boss." He hung up.

Abby said, "You don't have to be so hard on him… He did help me a lot."

Gibbs said, "You go to court, make sure Laurence Taut ,or whoever the hell he is, gets sentenced to jail for life." Gibbs walked out of Abby's lab. Abby looked after him and thought to herself, "Something is really 'hinky' about Gibbs."

Abby went down to the bullpen and saw McGee working on the case papers. McGee didn't notice her until she draped her arms over his shoulders and put her hands on his chest.

McGee only using a second of time to enjoy her presence said, "Abby, if Gibbs sees us I'm pretty sure he'll kill me. Or worse, carry out his threat about the sexual harassment classes."

Abby giggled, "Don't worry. He can't get mad at me. The last time you were dominating." She slithered her hand down his chest, going further south. McGee, suddenly aroused, almost gave into her but then he said, "Abby… No, you have court."

Abby stood up and said, "Another one of the many reasons I hate court."

When McGee looked at her he saw that she was wearing her court attire. He didn't know why but he was always turned on by her court suit. McGee commented, "I feel jealous of the people who get to see you in those clothes."

Abby expected there to be sarcasm in his voice but there was none. She looked at him with a sly smile. "Maybe you'll get a pleasant surprise tonight, then."

Before McGee could reply, Tony came to his desk and plopped down in it. Abby sauntered over to Tony's desk and asked, "Long day?"

Tony covered his face with his hands and, in a muffled voice, said, "A long week."

Abby frowned and then saw her driver come in and beckon her to come. She turned to McGee and said, "McGee, I'm gonna be home late probably so don't wait up."

McGee looked up and said, "I'll wait anyways. I'll be here to take make sure you get home safe."

Abby ran over to McGee and pulled him out of his chair and kissed him. McGee wanted it to last longer but right as it begun it ended. Abby was still holding his hand. Then their hand holding slowly let go but she was still making a few glances at him while she walked to her, now very annoyed, driver.

When Abby and her driver left, Tony said, "You know you guys can get in trouble if the director sees you. Plus if any of the other office workers sees you and report-"

Tony looked at McGee who was still looking at the doorway Abby had exited. Tony said, "Hey, Probie. Did you hear me?"

McGee nodded his head and said, "Sorry, I just don't like it when I'm not there with her… I feel like she's unprotected."

Tony said, "McGeek, its ok. God, Abby has you wrapped around her finger doesn't she?"

McGee said, "You'll understand when you fall in love… You just can't let them go...you can't stop thinking about them… And you can't bear to not be there by their side at all times…"

McGee didn't know that Tony felt the same thing.

Tony asked him, curiously, "Have you seen Ziva?"

McGee looked over at him and said, "Yeah. She walked out about 20 minutes ago with Gibbs."

Tony curiously asked, "Do you know why?"

McGee shrugged his shoulder and said, "Nope."

Tony gave a slight, "Hm." and then sat back in his chair. Right as he got to relaxing his phone rang. He fell out of his chair and then, while getting up, grumbled until he answered, "DiNozzo."

Tony slammed the phone down and made a cry of defeat.

McGee guessed, "Another crime scene?"

Tony answered in a helpless tone of voice and said, "No, my Netflix account just expired. I forgot to pay for another month."

McGee was confused and asked, "Isn't it only like 9 bucks a month?"

Tony looked at him and said, "Yes, and i have the money but the movie that i wanted to watch this weekend won't get here."

McGee didn't see what the big deal was but then again, he wasn't Tony.

I'll have the next chapter ready soon. It's gonna be a good one!
