A/N: THANK YOU SOOO MUCH TO ALL OF MY REVIEWERS!!! I was so excited when I came back from a two-day trip to find 14 reviews! It made my week!

Now to Chapter 2- Talking to Abby

Previously

"And WHAT, may I ask, did I say that was SO very interesting?" he said in a mock calm tone. But he already knew the answer, and hoped with all his might that he was wrong. He went to take a sip of coffee.

"You said, 'Tell her I love her'" Abby answered. Gibbs dropped his coffee, and the color drained from his face.

He was in trouble now.

"So it's true! There is someone!" Tony exclaimed. "So who is she, Boss… 'cause if it's that redhead-"

"Dinozzo!" Gibbs sighed. "Don't you have some work you should be doing?" He motioned to the foot-tall stack of paperwork on Tony's desk. Tony opened his mouth to protest, but upon seeing Kate's terrified expression, he closed it again. Wordlessly, he moved to his desk and begun rifling through the papers piled on it. Gibbs bent down to pick up his spilled coffee. Only Abby remained in the middle of the bullpen now. Gibbs looked up at her with a look that said quite plainly, 'Why are you still here?' A second later, she spoke.

"You still haven't given me evidence to test," Abby said matter-of-factly.

"It's on your desk already, Abs," Gibbs replied, mopping up the spilled coffee.

"Cool," she said as she headed for the elevator, throwing one last confused glance at Gibbs. And with a ding, she was gone.

The rest of the team sat in an uncomfortable silence for several minutes until Gibbs mumbled that he had to go somewhere, grabbed his coat, and left the bullpen.

"I'mgoingtoseewhatAbbysgotbebacklater," Kate blurted and almost ran for the elevator before Tony could respond.

"Hey Kate! Then DNA from Lt. Wallace is a no-go…" Abby called as she came out of her office and into the lab. "… but that's not why you're here, is it?"  Kate shook her head and sat down in Abby's chair, feeling dazed. Abby pulled up another chair and sat beside her. "I think Tony's right… I mean, that redhead is like the only person we know that's possible…" she paused. "Unless… no. It has to be that redhead… you know what I mean? The way she-"

"Abby…" Kate said, barely audibly. But Abby ranted on.

"-Every time we turn around she's there, doing something for-"

"Abby…" she said, slightly louder this time.

"-Cause if there is something-"

"Abby…"

"-You know Gibbs will be-"

"Abby!" She stopped and stared at Kate, who mumbled something under her breath.

It was barely audible… but nonetheless- Abby heard it.

 I'm sorry this is so short, but I've been trying to complete it ever since I've been back from the mountains, and I'm suffering from extreme writer's block, my muse has gone missing, and whenever I get an idea, its gone by the time I get to a computer. So instead of keeping you waiting until forever and beyond… I decided to post part of what I had, while I battle with the rest for chapter 3.  (Please review… constructive criticism welcomed! Oh, and if anyone could please beta-read my story… I would GREATLY appreciate it!)
