Amusement Caught the Eye

Chapter Eleven:

Chapter 11:

Tony and Gibbs walked in the elevator, both quiet just like in the car. What was there to say? Hey, good job on the kissing. And Gibbs still didn't even remember what he did. That left Tony with an advantage. There was no way that he would tell his Boss that he was kissed by him and that he kissed back.

When they got up to the teams floor, they walked out the elevator only to have Tony pushed back in as the WHOLE office came to greet him. Someone tipped them off about when he was coming back. And even though they all thought that he was a pain in their asses, they all liked him.

When he was able to get pass the people as the crowd separated after saying their hellos and get wells, he sat down at his desk. Relieved to get off his injured leg, but only to get jumped on by Abby who was high on happiness and sugar. She chocked him with a bear hug and showered him with her kisses.

" Oh my God Tony! I am glad that you're back! How are you feeling? Did that insane pizza man hurt you in anyway? How was your night at Gibb's house? What did you do all that time you were out of the hospital? Are you hungry? I have pizza in my Lab. Can you walk? When were you going to call me! I was scared death when I heard all that noise when that pizza man came after you! Why did you have to scare me? When are you coming down to my lab? And when are you going to answer all my questions!"

She paused after her rambling out burst, waiting for a very confused Tony to answer all her questions. After a few seconds she started to pout some. Tony just looked at her, trying to register everything that she said.

" You have pizza?"

This made a pouting Abby smile and get off of her Tony. She went to McGees desk and picked up a wrapped up plate. She handed it to Tony and he saw a plate of cookies decorated The Abby way. He just smiled and started to try getting up. Made it half way just to be stopped by Gibbs.

" Tony you need to sit and rest. We don't need you falling over anytime soon." He stared at him softly, concerned.

Tony just smiled his pleasing smile. " Aw, come on boss man. I'm not going far. Just to Abby's lab and staying there for a good while. I'm not going to run a marathon man. Just walking and going down in the elevator." He moved his hands along with what he was talking about.

Gibbs rolled his eyes. He really didn't want him moving, and why was he this concern about him? Tony was eyeing Gibbs suspiciously. He thought about it some more than rolled his eyes.

" Fine Tony. But I s-"

Tony grabbed Abby's arm and started quickly walking away. " Well Abby it seems that I have permission to go down to your office so lets get to it! See ya boss man!" He was practically running with Abby in arm, and didn't see the little amused smirk from the

"Boss man."

" Ziva, how is that search going?"

Said girl looked up and saw her boss come in, looking more refreshed than he did a day ago. " So, you actually listened to Fornell?" She asked only to get a glare sent her way.

" Alright, actually nothing on the facial search. But we really don't have much to go on so we can't really do anything else. Right now all we can do is wait for this dang search to get through." She explained, than looked up at him to see a calm face and not one that looked ready to snap.

He nodded. He understood. ' Maybe I should sleep more often, I don't seem to snap at people when I do.' He rolled his eyes after he thought that. Then he looked back to Ziva to see her looking at him weirdly.

He faked a cough. "Well then, good work Ziva. Tell me when something comes in or something. And it better not take too long!" He walked out headed out to get some more coffee. This stuff always ran out too fast. He waited in the elevator when it stopped and showed Fornell in it's opening gap… holding coffee.

Fornell looked at Gibbs, surprised what a good night of sleep did for his friend. Defiantly made him look younger, well by two minutes anyway. He walked in to the elevator, handing a coffee to him. They stayed silent for a little bit.

" Well Gibbs, proud to say that you don't look like crap. Maybe you should sleep more often?" Fornell side glanced at Gibbs, raising an eyebrow.

Gibbs just smirked and shaked his head. Than an idea came to him. " Hey Fornell, if I gave you a description of someone, is there a chance that you could find them in the data base faster then we can?" Gibbs looked at him after asking.

Fornell looked away, trying to think. " Well, maybe we could. But I really don't know that well. It's never been a question to think about."

" Until now." Gibbs just smirked.

Fornell laughed. He didn't know why but for some reason, that dry sense of humor that Gibbs had was real funny to him. He wondered if he was loosing his mind. Instead of thinking that he just shook his head trying to get that question out of his head. Then the elevators door opened up and they headed to Abby's lab.

They followed the loud music as they walked to Abbys room. They saw Tony and Abby by her desk eating decorated cookies and pizza. Gibbs walked in only to be noticed when he cleared his throat. Tony just smiled and waved while as Abby decided to jump up and down, tackling Gibbs.

" So Gibbs, how far are we on the case of bringing Tony's stalker to justice!" screamed at the top of her lungs in a sing song voice.

Fornell just looked at her, trying to get his hearing back. " You know Abby, we are old men and we would like to keep what's left of our hearing."

Abby just jumped off Gibbs and stuck her tongue out at Fornell, and made a funny face.

"What hearing? You are so old that I bet that you don't even have any!"

Gibbs watched the argument between the two and then he decided to sit down next to a smug looking Tony. He looked back and forth between the arguing and the Tony.

" So what were you and Abby talking about?"

Tony looked at him. " What do you mean talking? We were eating." He said obviously trying to hide something.

Gibbs raised an eyebrow. " Tony, you and Abby were in here for a few hours. Neither of you can go that long with out talking. You in particular. So now tell me, what are you trying to hide?"

Tony shrugged. " Nothing much, just the football game on Sunday. And her coffin. She was also mentioning things about her sex toys. But really, nothing much. Just what's been happening around here and what mistakes McGee has been making." Tony looked away and tried to act like he was amused at all the mistakes that were made.

Gibbs still wasn't buying it, but before he could try and squeeze out the truth, Fornell called to him.

" Well Gibbs if you don't mind, maybe we should go now." He said, looking defeated. Abby on the other hand was jumping up and down showing the "victory" signs with her hands. Somehow she managed to win an argument that really was stupid. But non the less Gibbs nodded and didn't question. With that they left they room, leaving Tony and Abby once again by themselves.

Abby looked at Tony until he caught her and stared back.

" You know, you're going to need to do something before he remembers. Because when he remembers what he did, he will want to talk to you." She said, in a very serious, sincere Abby mode. Tony just looked at her and smiled a small, confused smile.

" I know but, what would you say to your Boss, who happened to be the same sex you are, kissed you? I'm in a bit of a dilemma here Abs." He replied, looking at her.

She smiled thenshe thought,

'Yea I know. I can tell from your face.'
