I wanted to know more than that he was bad news. That much I could tell from his eyes. It wasn't a very good idea but I pressed on for more information. "How bad is bad news? Like me not having my Caf-Pow or listening to McGee for an hour?"
Gibbs mouth split into a smile that warmed me and made me forget for second what I was asking him. "I don't know which is worse, because you go absolutely nuts without a cup a day"
I was miffed at that remark "I can too Gibbs. And don't change the subject"
"I didn't you did." He replied, gulping down the rest of his refilled drink.
"Ugh! Answer the question!"
He shrugged "Fine, repeat it for me" He was being difficult on purpose. Assuming that I would eventually quit trying to get information out of him. Oh buddy was he wrong.
"Who is he and why exactly do you want him arrested?" I asked, it was better just being direct with Jethro than beating around the bush because then you'll just miss your chance to get anything out of him. And was hard enough to get anything out of the man already.
"His name, his real name is Aaron Smith. And he's a gunsmen. He sells guns to the Middle East and just about anyone else who'll give him good money for weapons. He's caused America a lot of stress and he needs to be taken in. Every time that we get him he get's off and I have the sneaking suspicious that he has lay way with someone in the F.B.I"
This was interesting! "So you've talked to Tobias?" Gibbs and Tobias didn't really like each other all that much but they grudgingly helped each other now and again.
He grimaced at the man's name. "Yes I did and he came up with nothing" He muttered something under his breath under the lines of "useless dummy..."
"Oh well-"
Gibbs leaned forward and kissed me, "Come on Abby this is our date don't go spoiling it with to many questions about someone that you can't do anything about"
"Oh yes I can! I'm Abigail Scuito and I'm the best at what I do. I'll go back to my lab and find out everything there is to know about him" I said determinedly, I stood up and Gibbs followed behind me protesting that we should stay. I brushed him off, "Nope too late you know how I am when I'm determined Gibbs. Nothing can stop me!"
He replied with a groan and opened the passenger door for me, I got in and then he did. And we drove back to NCIS after picking up coffee and Caf-Pow and chinese. When we reached my lab I went straight to my computers booting them up.
"Okay guys tonight is a very important night! We're going to prove Jethro Gibbs that together we can defeat anything and anybody! Aaron Smith is going down and we're going to be the fist that drops him-"
"Gosh Abby I can do this myself" Gibbs said still protesting me helping him. Did he not realise that he couldn't deter me from this? It wasn't going to happen I already had my sights set out to get Aaron and that was what I was going to do. And that's final.
"Sure you can Gibbs I'm not saying you can't do your job" I said sweetly, "But I'm going to help" When he still looked at me with those puppy dog eyes I gave thim the Gibbs stare down "Deal with it" We help eye contact for what seemed like hours. My computers beeped that they were ready for battle and I so wanted to turn my music on but I would not be the first to look away.
Thankfully Gibbs did "Fine Abby you can help"
"I knew that, I just needed you to accept that I was going to help. Anywho" I turned back to my computers and logged in and started to look for traces of Aaron Smith.
After a few hours of looking and actually succeeding in finding out a couple 'events' that Aaron was involved in we ate our food. I was content in Gibbs lab, as we sat infront of the screen waiting for the database to tell us if Aaron was in a special gun club called The Devils Arrow in Malibu.
"I wanted you to come with me to the park. Have a picnic if nothing comes up" Gibbs said.
"Sounds good! All you becoming all domestic and such. It's cute" I smiled as I felt GIbbs chest rise and fall as he chuckled beneath me.
"Cute? Maybe I should get an empty beans can and a pack of chewing tobacco, our date will be kicking-" He stopped when my computer began to beep. Letting us know that Aaron was part of the guns club. What we also know that that the leader of The Devils' Arrow was that a man named Taylor Jones was part of that club. And the great thing about that was Taylor Jones was a F.B.I agent.
"You should call Tobias" I suggested.
