'Sleepover at the bosses?'
*poof*
How I got myself into this situation I have no idea, I didn't even want to, but Jethro needed me so here I am in the kitchen with him making snacks while the rest of the team is in the living room playing Apples to Apples. Since no one would be able to sleep, and they all wanted to protect Abby, this was the most logical conclusion. Logical for everyone else, but most certainly not for me but as luck would have it, I have no say. Though I am curious about Abby, I know it is not my place to ask so I just keep silent, hoping that Jethro would tell me.
"Are you almost done with the snacks Holly?" I nod and smile, "Yes I am, are you done with the drinks?" It was his turn to smile, "Why yes, yes I am." We both start laughing and bring the refreshments into the living room on the table next to the team.
"Duh, Helen Keller wins automatically, don't you know the rules Tony?"
"Well no Abby I obviously don't know the rules since mine was obviously the best choice."
"Well obviously you were wrong."
"Am not."
"Are too"
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am……"
"Children please, do I have to separate you?" the Director's voice rang through the room. Abby and DiNozzo both looked at each other and shook their heads. The Director just shook her head and smiled while Ziva and Tim were just sitting back trying not to laugh. Suddenly Abby shot up and ran to the window.
*poof*
"Look, look, look." In an instant Jethro is over there, thinking it is something bad, but I saw him breathe a sigh of relief, "Yeah Abs, it is pretty isn't it?" "Are we supposed to get a lot of it?" Jethro nodded, "About 5-6 inches."
Abby grinned and leaned into Jethro, he wrapped his arms around her waist and stood behind her resting his head on her shoulder, oblivious to the stares of the other team members. Okay, I understand, Abby almost died, but he is dating me, not her, so he should at least try and show some affection towards me and socialize with the other members of the team. A few minutes passed and I got fed up with watching them watch the snow that was quickly accumulating.
"Jethro, sweetheart, what do you want to do now?" This simple statement seemed to wake them out of their dream like trance. He looked over at me, then to DiNozzo, Director Sheppard, Tim and Ziva. "I don't know Holly, what does everyone else want to do?" "Movie." The unanimous answer made Jethro smile and he nodded his head towards Abby. She just nodded and ran out of the room, only to come in a few seconds later with a movie in hand.
I see the movie and smile, "Jethro, really? You have this movie?" He looked at it and groaned, "It isn't mine, it is my 18 year old niece's, she loves these types of movies." "Sure, okay, whatever you say my Silver Haired Fox." I hate it when she calls him that. Abby ran over to his tv, put the dvd in, and then ran and sat on the love seat. I sit on the couch, confident that Jethro was going to sit next to me, boy was I wrong, instead, Tim and Ziva sat in the two open seats next to me while Jethro sat down next to Abby. DiNozzo and the Director stayed on the floor, but were leaning up against the couch in front of us. Once everybody was settled and the lights were turned off, Abby pressed play and the movie began.
*poof*
"Look, I guarantee there'll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, I'll regret it for the rest of my life, because I know, in my heart, you're the only one for me."
Abby sighed, "That is so cute, they need to get together." Jethro just smiled and pulled Abby closer. "You are just saying that because you think Richard Gere is hot." Tony sent a famous smirk at the goth. "I am partial to gray hair, you of all people should know that Tony, besides you just like Jennifer Garner for her name." Jethro smiled and kissed Abby's cheek, sending DiNozzo a knowing glance. He just gave his 100 watt smile and put his arm around the Director. As if this couldn't get any worse. The director just leans into him even more resting her hand on his leg. It just did.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, the movie was over. I look around the room, Ziva and Tim were still up, Tim on his labtop and Ziva reading a book. Both DiNozzo and the Director fell asleep, leaning against one another. When I look towards my boyfriend I see him sitting there, a soft smile on his lips, watching Abby as she slept. He went to move his neck when he caught my eye, he looked at me and motioned for me to go into the kitchen.
"I am sorry you have to stay here tonight Holly, I am sure you wanted to be home or something."
"Jethro, I don't mind staying here, I just wish you would have paid just a little more attention to me."
That, obviously, was the wrong thing to say because his eyes flashed, "Hollis, Abby almost got killed, are you seriously saying that I should pay more attention to you than to one of my team mates and friend…"
"Looked like you were more than friends to me." I just couldn't keep the bitterness out of my voice. I was hurt, and had every right to be. Before we could advance in this 'discussion' we heard the Director's phone to off. We look at each other and walk back into the living room.
*poof*
"Okay, thanks Damien, I will let them know." Everyone looked at her expectedly. She took a deep breath. "They found the accomplice of Michael about 10 miles off of the base. He had one bullet in his chest and he was tossed on the side of the road. Ducky has confirmed that it was one shot, one kill from close range. They are still looking for Michael."
I noticed that Abby was not looking so well, "Abby? Maybe you should sit down." Jethro also took notice and sat down on the couch, bringing Abby with him. "Don't worry Abs, they will find him, I know it." Tim tried to smile, but if fell short. "Don't beat yourself up McGee" Jethro chided, "It is in the past, she is here now, and that is all that matters." The young man seemed to brighten up and send a genuine smile their way.
I look towards the window, wondering how much snow has fallen when I see a face, a dark face that I recognized. I grab my gun and head for the door, not caring about the confused looks being thrown my way, as I open the door I hear the rest of the team behind me, I waste no time and run outside and around the house. I doubt that we will find him, but that doesn't mean I won't try. I turn and see rustling in the bushes, I announce my presence and order him to surrender. I hear laughing and I see a flash, before I can even shoot my gun I hear another shot, I dive to the ground and point my weapon and shoot. I fire my weapon twice, then I hear silence, I slowly get up and notice Jethro, Ziva and DiNozzo, all standing by the now lifeless body of Michael, Abby's stalker.
*poof*
It was morning when I woke up. I noticed that I was in the guest bedroom, how I got there I have no idea, but I did. IAB came and gone and the outside looked like there wasn't a shoot out or a dead body. I walk down the hall and into the living room. To my strong dislike, Abby was asleep on Jethro. I look around the rest of the room. Tim got the couch, Ziva got the guest bedroom and the Director and DiNozzo found a spot on the floor. The snow stopped falling and the sun was shining. Not wanting to disturb the others I get up and walk towards Jethro, I go to give him a kiss good morning when he opens his eyes.
"Holly?" I smiled, maybe all wasn't lost. "Hey, I don't want to wake up the others so I am going to go down to the basement, is that alright?" He nodded his head and looked at Abby. "You going to join me?" He shook his head then, "No, I want to be here when Abs wakes up." I am slightly disappointed but I hide it. "Oh, okay, well come find me when you get a moment." He simply nods. "Jethro is there something bothering you?" My voice rises slightly and Abby stirs. "No, Hollis, there isn't, I am just tired and I don't want to wake Abs up." I nod my head, "I am sorry for what I said last night, I should have been a little more considerate of her." He gave me a half smile. I stand up and head towards the basement door, planning on drowning my jealousy and irritation with sanding his boat. If I was able to predict what was going to happen next I wouldn't have opened that door, but since I am not a psychic, I open the door and walk down the creeky stairs.
