Just to clarify, Ziva was fired and McGee and Tony resigned in a last desperate act to save Ziva and get her her job back. How sweet of them. Sorry for any confusion. I'm getting way out of my depth and need to know if I should keep going 'cause I think I'm just rambling now. Any way… One turns into two, two turns into three will this turn into a chain-reaction that Gibbs can't stop.

"Hey guys what are you doing here?" Abby asked when Ziva, Tony and McGee walked into her lab. She had processed everything there was no reason for them to be down here.

"I've just been fired." Ziva said casually.

"I-"

"I-" McGee and Tony said at the same time.

"We resigned." They said together. Abby was gob-smacked all three of her friends had just been terminated from NCIS.

"But he can't get rid of you. You guys are the best and there is no way that Gibbs can let this happen to all of you. If you go and if he is then I'm resigning too. That way Vance can't let you leave. But Gibbs will figure it out because he's Gibbs and he can do anything." She blurted out so fast that nobody really caught on to what she was saying until after the conversation had ended. Abby was already typing up papers on her computer and was about to email them to Director Vance when Ziva grabbed her arm.

"Hold on Abby. Gibbs fired me and we need your help before you decide to hand in your resignation." Abby stared up at her blankly. "Can you run a back ground check on Jacob Cane?"

"Wait a minute Gibbs fired you? Is there a new Gibbs I don't know about? 'Cause Gibbs would never do that."

"Abby can you do the background check?" Ziva reminded her, shaking her a little.

"Yes I can."

"Good. Do it?"

"Why?"

"Because Bella Cane has gone missing and over 90% of child abductions are conducted by a biological parent."

"I thought that Bella's dad was the only biological relation that she has."

"Yes well her mother may not be quite as dead as she says she is."

"I'm on it, do you guys want to hide out in ballistics while I look through the databases?"

"We'd love to Abby but we have to see Ducky before we're escorted off the base." McGee said trying not to hurt Abby's feelings. It didn't help much, Abby threw herself at Ziva; holding her in a bone-crushing hug while Ziva hesitantly patted her on the back.

"It was bad enough when you guys were split up and now you guys are leaving again and Gibbs won't bring you back because he is the one that is sending you away." She said too quickly, then let go of Ziva and embraced McGee.

"I'm going to miss you Timmy." She cried, not able to hold back the tears any longer. McGee placed a kiss on her forehead, a little to tender to be counted as a comfort kiss. She squeezed McGee all the harder. Tony braced himself but Abby wasn't about to pounce on him, she looked like a lost child; standing alone in the middle of her lab, crying into her hands. Tony walked forward and wrapped her in his arms, Abby clung to him for dear life but let go a minute later and started to search for information on the Cane family.

A hug and a visit later Tony, Ziva and McGee were back in the bullpen they packed up there stuff in the card board boxes they had brought up from the basement. Ziva was nearly finished all she needed to do was clear out the drawer that held her weapon's; Gibbs had her sig but she had more than that one firearm stashed away in that little drawer. She unlocked the drawer and pulled it open, she nearly fainted. Her badge and her sig were back in her drawer as if they had never been removed.

She ran over to McGee's desk and picked the lock before he even got the chance to ask what she was doing. His things were back too.

"Unpack." She demanded.

"What?" Tony and McGee asked in confused unison.

"Tony look," she held up McGee's badge.

"Why didn't you open my desk?"

"Why Tony? You jealous?"

She rushed back to her desk and phoned Abby and Ducky. We got our jobs back.

I have the next chapter in my head, if I get 8 reveiws I'll post it tomorrow if not I'll post it later. Is this story going anywhere to you guys or should I throw it on the scrap heap and start another story?
