Back at head quarters Tony got a visitors pass for the dog since that seemed to be the only way to get the dog into the building. He then headed down to the lab where music was blaring. He stood in the doorway for a second and then quietly went and turned off the music.
Abby spun around. "Tony"! She said. She then saw the dog he was holding. "You got me a foofy dog?" she asked. "I know it's the thought that counts but isn't it a bit early for Christmas? It's like two months away."
Tony laughed. "I'd rather have a shepherd any day but actually it's Riley's dog." He told Abby. "He's not only the only witness to the case but…"
Abby cut him off. "To what who stole the dog biscuits?" she asked.
Tony shook his head. "Ha Ha, funny but no. Remember the psycho guy who hates my guts?" he asked.
Abby laughed. "Which one Tony you have a list of guys who aren't exactly fond of you."
Tony frowned. "Try to be serious Abbs."
"Wow, Sorry. Sheesh, so what happened?" she asked. Something was totally wrong, Tony never got cross with her.
"Thank you now before you decided to become a comedian I was about to tell you that Charger here Witnessed Riley's..."
Charger Bit Tony's arm which resulted in the dog being dropped. "Cool it YoKo, I thought we we're past you hating my guts." Tony said as he jumped up on the counter before the dog had a chance to bite him again.
Abby laughed. "Man Tony, I was totally wrong, this guys not foofy, he's a Doberman in a tiny body." She said.
Tony stuck out his tongue. "Ha ha, Lets see how he likes you Abby." He said, beginning to pout.
"Fine, come here big guy." Abby cooed, as she picked the dog up. The dog began to chortle and snuggled deep into Abby's arms.
"Play boy." Tony mumbled.
Gibbs and Kate entered the lab. "you have anything yet?" he asked.
"Yeah, I found out that Abby's a comedian and Riley's dog thinks I'm a chew toy." Tony complained.
Kate laughed. "I knew that dog was smart." Kate teased.
Abby handed Gibbs the dog. "Everyone out so I can run the evidence." She said.
Everyone headed up to the Bull Pen. In the elevator Tony looked at Gibbs. "why's that Hate me and not you?" he whined.
Gibbs looked at Tony. "Because DiNozzo think of it this way. If you had a daughter wouldn't you hate any guy she went out with who was like you?" He asked.
Tony nodded. "Yeah... hey… what are you saying Gibbs?" he asked.
Kate smirked. "He's saying that the dog doesn't like you because… well your you." Kate said.
Tony made a face at Kate. "We'll he only tolerates you because he doesn't know you." He said trying to have a comeback, though it was really not that good of one. He wanted to smack himself in the head.
Tony's hand went to the back of his head when he felt a sting, just as the elevator doors opened.
"Stop trying to start a Fight DiNozzo." Gibbs said as he walked away.
Tony rubbed his head. "Yeah Boss." He said. "Hit me in the head. He never hits Kate, but me, he does all the time." He mumbled.
"I heard that DiNozzo." Gibbs called over his shoulder.
Everyone headed to their desks while they tried to work while they waited for Abby to finish doing the evidence, though in the end they didn't get anything accomplished.
