A/N: Thanks for the review. :) Just for this oneshot: Pretend that Gibbs didn't kiss Karen Wilkerson, they were only close to doing it.

"Abbs, do you think Gibbs would ever cheat on Kate?" McGee asked out of the blue and swallowed visibly, when he saw the incredulous look on the Goth's face. Maybe it was not the wisest thing to talk to Abigail about this, after all she was pretty close to both Kate and Gibbs. "Of course... I mean... Of course just hypothetically speaking…"
"No, never ever, Tim, how can you even think about it? Gibbs-man would never ever do something that disgusting... You know what? I´ll just forget that you asked me that question, McGee." The forensic replied harshly and glared at the younger man, who cringed slightly on his stool because of her tone. McGee just nodded hesitantly, but he was still not entirely convinced. Though he knew how well Abigail knew their boss, but he had also seen the flirting going on between the two, when they interrogated a PO in Karen Wilkerson´s office earlier.
"Okay, but all I'm saying is, Gibbs invited her to his basement, Abby, and no one of us was ever invited to his basement… Let alone to his house..." The younger agent said and the Goth rolled her eyes. Slowly she was really getting annoyed by his strange ideas, obviously Tony had a bad influence on him. "And nobody knows what happened there, before he arrested her. I know I'm not the first one to be asked when it comes to reading people, but I know what I saw when we interviewed the PO... He was flirting with her and she was obviously interested in him."
"Oh come on McGee, maybe I should just kick you out of my lab, so I can work in peace." The black-haired woman said and went on shortly afterwards, neither of them seeing Kate entering the lab. "I can imagine that woman was interested in him, I mean come on Gibbs is an attractive man, but if you ask me - what you just did - he just played along with her for the case's sake. Maybe he invited her to his basement, but I´m damn sure nothing happened there, he would never ever hurt Kate and if he ever does, be assured I will take care of him... And nobody will ever find out what really happened, because there´s no forensic evidence."
"Woah, Abbs what is going on, something I should know?" The brunette asked and looked from Abby to McGee the latter looking extremely like a child, who was just caught redhanded, his hand being still in the cookie jar.
"Ugh… No, not really... Me and McGee here were just talking about your fiancée's meeting with Karen Wilkerson..." The Goth said hastily before Tim could say anything and probably put them in a dificult position. A deep frown appeared on her friend´s forhead and Abigail knew she had to explain it now, no matter if she rather kept out of this. "You do know where Gibbs arrested her, don't you Kate?"
"No, I don't know where it happened, simply because I didn't read his report." The brunette replied curtly and the Goth bit her lower lip, exchanging a nervous glance with McGee, who got her in this situation in the first place. If this ended badly for her, the agent could surely brace himself because she was out for payback. "Where did he arrest her, Abby and why is it that important?"
"Well, he arrested her in your basement... And it is a bit strange you don't know about it..." Timothy explained hesitantly and the black-haired woman next to him just nodded. He could feel his forhead getting wet, because he was nervous if Caitlin would turn her anger towards them so he tried to sound cheerful in his next sentence. "But hey, we all know Gibbs has his very own ways to solve a case, hasn't he?"
"Sure he has. I was catching up with a friend from Secret Service last night so I wasn't at home, but he didn't tell me that he wanted to meet Karen Wilkerson." Caitlin replied curtly and turned on her heel, leaving the laboratory.
"Oh no, Timmy I think that went wrong. Why the heck did you had to bring the topic up anyways?" The forensic asked and head-slapped the younger man, who just gave her an indignant look. "Sorry, but I'm afraid Kate will give Gibbs-Man a hard time explaining the whole situation after work..."
