Jared: Alright, our obsessed fan over here is all tied up.
Me: Mmmph!
Abby: Now what?
Jared: I was thinking of erasing Degrassi out of the DVR and watching The Office instead, what say you?
Abby: I've seen too many reruns...what about this?
Jared: You seriously want to watch What Not to Wear?
Abby: No no no, look below that.
Jared: Oh! A Thousand Ways to Die. I love that show! Let's watch it, then.
Abby: We can make fun of everyone's stupidity.
Jared: I'll get the popcorn.
Me: Mmph! *starts writing frantically on a sheet of paper and hands it to Abby*
Abby: *ignoring paper* Crap, we forgot about the disclaimer!
Jared: Whatever. They know she doesn't own it. Is Tony writing the next chapter?
Abby: Yup. I told him it was a bad idea...I actually planned for Ziva to do it, but she wouldn't answer the phone.
Tony: How do you spell 'halibut', Abby?
Abby: Have you tried using spell check?
Tony: It won't recognize the word.
Abby: *sigh* Alright, I'm going over there.
Me: *struggles to free self*
Jared: I wouldn't try that if I were you.
Me: *stops, then points at ignored paper*
Jared: You want me to read that?
Me: *nods*
Jared: Okay then. Um, you want us to keep the show in your DVR, and not to ever let Tony near your computer. Nope, sorry, can't do that. Now that I'm human I'm going to enjoy these opposable thumbs as much as I-
Me: *turns Jared back into zebra*
Jared: You suck. FINE, I'll get you out before Abby comes back.
"Come on, Abs, just hang in there," McGee begged as he half lead, half carried Abby into the hospital. Less than an hour had passed since the events outside the van, and she had only gotten worse. Tim knew exactly what that meant. If she wasn't treated soon, she'd die no matter what he did.
"Can't move," Abby mumbled. She collapsed onto the asphalt.
"Abby!"
Line break
Gibbs paced back and forth in his basement, thinking of the past month. How could everything have gone downhill so fast? One minute his surrogate daughter was fine, the next ill, and the next, taken away from him. And now he had hardly any idea what was going on with her. Ducky had left the basement moments ago after giving him the news that she would be fine, the antidote should work. So why did he still feel so restless and worried?
"Gibbs," a soft voice called. He twisted around, half expecting to see a certian redhead standing there, but instead it was Ziva who appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Is it finished?" He nodded.
"Thank you."
"I'll bring it by later." He needed something to distract himself from these thoughts.
"Tony said one in five women have a miscarriage," Ziva said, coming down the stairs. "But I'm not listening to him, because he's an idiot." Gibbs was only half listening to her. What if Abby was already dying, or dead, or maybe stuck in some limbo, unable to wake up or completely lose herself?
"Gibbs?" Ziva had finally caught onto his mood.
"Did you hear anything from Ducky?" Gibbs asked, trying not to sound desperate for news.
"No...why?"
"Abby got poisoned."
"When did this happen?"
"Last night, this morning. Ducky wasn't sure."
"I really need to get back into the loop...that is right, yes?" Gibbs nodded.
"I'm calling Ducky to see if he knows anything else."
A LINE BREAK GOTTA HAVE A LINE BREAK
"That was so sweet, what you tried to do," Adien said. Jewel smiled, feeling a blush starting to heat her cheeks.
"We were being stupid, weren't we?" She smiled up at him hopefully.
"Por supesto, mi novia," he responded simply.
"I love it when you speak in Spanish...if only I could understand you." Adien handed her a Spanish-English dictionary. Jewel smiled again and rifled through the dictionary, mentally stringing her next phrase together.
"Te amor," Adien said. His dark eyes were smoldering. That means I love you, Jewel thought quickly.
"Here's why I said we needed a break twelve years ago," he continued. "I was learning more English on my own because I wanted to ask you something very important." Jewel looked up just as he got down on one knee. There was a small velvet box in his hand. He slowly opened it.
"Will you marry me? Por favor?" She gasped, staring at the diamond sparkling in the morning light. A prefectly cut beauty on a ring of shiny gold, the treasure of a lifetime. She nodded, too choked up to even speak. Adien slowly slipped the ring onto the ring finger of her left hand. As the cool metal made contact with her skin she felt chills run down her spine. She'd never seen that look in Hades's eyes. The look of pure adoration and love.
Whoa a line break another line break let's rock it now yeaaah
Daniela tried, once again, to move even a pinkie toe. Nothing happened. She sighed and wheeled herself back into the room. Despite an hour of physical therapy, she couldn't walk. Then again, these doctors weren't like the lady in The Miracle Worker. They had dozens of other patients and could only devote so much time to her. Besides, she was tired and ready to get some sleep for now. Maybe someday she could run again and feel the wind in her hair like she used to. McGee walked into her room just as she approached her bed.
"Hey, Daniela."
"Twice in one day?" she said, arching an eyebrow in amusement. He really did care.
"Yeah, I'm here because Abby got poisoned and I'm waiting for news."
"Poisoned?" Daniela mumbled. McGee helped her into the bed.
"We aren't sure exactly how it happened. I'll start looking for evidence soon, even though I already know who did it and why."
"Who?" Daniela asked.
"The same guy that is the reason you exist, the guy who kidnapped Abby and wrecked her emotionally." Daniela's eyes widened a minute degree. A doctor walked into the room.
"Agent McGee? We have word on Ms. Sciuto. If you would come with me. I know where her room is."
Line break
"I'm afraid I haven't heard anything for some time, Jethro," Ducky said. "Abigail left and Timothy went after her. They haven't returned. I'm guessing that something must have happened between them."
"I'll give McGee a call then...I'd like to know what the hell is going on. Seems like I'm always the one having to find things out these days."
"I know how that feels, Jethro. I'm sure everything's alright, otherwise we would already know, wouldn't we?" Gibbs sighed. Ducky didn't seem to be getting the point.
"I see what this is. You truly feel something's wrong, don't you? Well, why don't you act on it?"
"Working on it, Duck. I'll let you know if anything happened." He disconnected the call.
"I'll be on my way, then," Ziva said. "I think it'll be best if I make myself of use and go find Tony."
"Ya think?" Gibbs said.
Line break, just chillin
"We should tell Daniela," Jewel said after a time. They were lying on the beach without a care in the world, enjoying the rare moment of solitude on a sunny day in D.C. Despite the wonderful weather, though, hardly any people were on the beach.
"Right, your daughter," Adien murmured, gazing at her face.
"She'll like you, I hope," Jewel continued nervously. "Daniela has mentioned wanting a father once or twince, but I'm not sure what she thinks on the subject. She's so...quiet. I can't ever tell what she's thinking."
"Calm down, mi amor," Adien laughed. "Everything's going to be fine, trust me."
