Chapter Nine:

Ducky goes to visit Abby. The rest of the team is sitting around the NCIS lab moping when Ducky calls them to say that Abby has awoken from the land of slumber. Gibbs still doesn't show up at the hospital to visit Abby and she gets even more upset. This chapter has a real twist…

Abby/Ducky/Ziva/Gibbs/Tony/Mc Gee/Palmer/Kalia

Abby sit on the hospital bed cross legged blasting heavy metal music in her ears, listening to all the sounds of instruments clashing and banging together. Abby was anticipating what to do next. She tapped her fingers across her knees many times in nervousness. She knelt to the ground and did what Abby did when she was angry. She never let anyone know. She started praying. She sobbed quietly so no one would hear her. After many minutes she regained herself and hopped up on the bed again. Her stomach hurt and she was going to hurl. The nurse walked in and grabbed the bucket just in time. Ducky walked in to find Abby vomiting.

"How do you feel today my dear?"

"Like crap, my stomach feels awful."

"Oh dear Abigail, nurse can I have her blood test results?"

"Sure." The nurse went to get the results for ducky.

"Abigail, it's good to see you talking again."

"Yea, I got kind of lonely since I awoke."

"Are you up to seeing the rest of the team?"

"I don't really want to at the moment Ducky, unless Gibbs is coming."

"I can't assure that Abigail, but we'll see."

"Thanks Ducky."

"I have to step out for a second Abigail, I won't be too long."

"Okay Duck, see you soon."

Ducky called the NCIS team and told them to meet him at the hospital. He then went to find Abby's test results. He found the nurse who had them and quickly scanned over them. He found they weren't good. Ducky quickly ducked back into Abby's room. He found Abby ready to hurl again. He ran over to her and grabbed a vomit bowl. Abby threw up again and again. When she regained herself Ducky began to speak.

"I am afraid my dear you have liver damage."

"Oh no Ducky, how did that happen?"

"Because of the paracetamol, Abigail."

"Everything's gone wrong."

At that moment the NCIS team arrived to find Abby and Ducky speaking. Abby perked up a little to see who had arrived she noticed Gibbs did not show but there wasn't much she could do now that they were here.

Ziva, Tony and Mc Gee walked over to Abby. Mc gee gently stroked Abby's hair and Tony held her hand. Ziva gave Abby a hug and ducky sat down in a nearby chair.

"So, what's going on Abby have they told you anything?"

"Ducky just told me I have liver damage."

"Oh my God Abby, how did you sustain it?" Mc Gee exclaimed worried.

"Through paracetamol." Abby spoke quietly.

"Will this be forever? She wont die will she ducky?"

"No, lucky Abby wont die, she will however have to stay in hospital for awhile, and her liver will repair itself because the liver can be kind to you if you treat it right, avoid alcohol and panadol for a year or two and it will eventually get better, but due to her mental health we will have to send her to the mental health unit until she gets better."

"I don't want to go ducky!"

"I'm afraid you're going as involuntary dear, which means I cant do anything."

"Why can't you stop them Ducky?"

"I can't go over the psychiatrist."

"Oh, well that dam sucks." Exclaimed Ziva

"Years of medical school when I cannot help a friend."

"Yea, doesn't pay of as much as it should sometimes." Said Mc Gee

"You'll be here for another 24 hours until they find a vacancy Abby."

"Well, I've never been to a psych ward, interesting experience coming my way."

"I had a friend who went there once; she was committed for hearing voices." Said Tony

"Thanks for the heads up Tony least I know what to expect. Just make sure no one touches my lab or anything in it. I am going to miss my lab. Some jerk face will probably take over. Hope I have a job to come back too."

"We'll make sure of that Abs, you need to get better, and we'll visit you."

"I need to take a shower."

"Hang on Abby, I'll grab the nurse she needs to fix your IV and help you get dressed."

"I'm not having a stranger undress me, thank you very much, Ziva can help me."

"Ok." Said Ziva kind of unexpectedly

Ziva took Abby to the shower and helped her get undressed then waited outside. She helped Abby change into a new set of clothes the team had bought for her that were black and had little skulls all over them with pink outlines. They helped Abby get back into bed and let her rest for awhile. They talked until Abby fell asleep. The team went back to NCIS to work on the case they'd be holding back from.

Back at the NCIS headquarter they went to Abby's lab to find her replacement working away in Abby's little heaven. She had long blonde hair down to her waist, she wore high heels that were 4 inches high, with a skimpy shirt on with a panda on the front and a mini skirt the barely covered her legs. She had blue eyes and a very petite figure, any guys dream. She was slow on the computer though and had hardly any skill, unlike there little Goth-Girl who wore a lab coat, pigtails, hung chains from her belt, had dyed black hair, wore knee high boots with skull shirts and always wore a smile,. Totally opposite, Mc Gee and Tony stood in amazement while Ziva and Ducky were horrified, how could Gibbs allow this…this downright blonde promiscuous, bimbo take the place of there favorite forensic scientists? Palmer had also joined the crew to check out the new lab worker even though she wasn't his style he thought she was pretty hot. Half of them had forgotten what they were there for as they were standing at the door. Until Ziva walked over to find out about the case, she felt like knocking this chick out but kept her cool because she knew it wasn't permanent.

"Hi, I am Ziva David, NCIS Agent." Ziva proclaimed holding out her badge.

"Hi, I am Kalia. I hold a bachelor's degree in forensic science."

"Impressive." Tony said sarcastically.

"And you are?"

"Tony field agent, people call me Dinozzo though, my friends of course."

"Okay, interesting."

"I'm Mc Gee, If your wondering I am also a fulltime field agent and have a degree in computer forensics and MIT."

"Ok I'll call you Mc Gee if that's what you like." Kalia said with a cheesy smile.

"I am Ducky, nice to meet you." Ducky said holding his hand out with a gentlemanly manner. Then allowing Palmer to step forward and greet Kalia.

"Well, it's nice to meet you all. Good to be here for a short while, I need the cash."

"In this team we do not work for just the cash, it's much more than that." Said Ziva.

"Okay, Ill keep that in mind." Smiled Kalia, she knew Ziva did not like her.

They all stood around trying to see what there new lab rat had found.

"Traces of mercury in which was already found in large quantities, It was purchased from an eBay online store 2 months ago, buy a user with the name randy_andy25, I traced his user Identity and came up with this guy. A picture came on an overhead projector showing a guy masculine in build and large in size. His name is Randy Arnold. He's 40 years old and works in a local hardware store, down the road from the supermarket. He lives across the road from the local Burger King. 33 Kingston Drive Los Angeles." Before Kalia got another word in they all scooted off to where they had to go. Mc Gee and Dinozzo left to Randy's house and Ziva went to her desk. Palmer and Ducky left to Autopsy.
