Chapter 8
Gibbs stormed up to Morrow's office; the secretary that protected Director Morrow looked up at Gibbs's entry
"Can I help you agent Gibbs?" she asked politely
"Yes I need to see the director now" he said, impatiently, hating having to go through anyone, but not willing to just barge in on the man he respected above most others. The secretary nodded then crossed over to the doors that hid Morrow from the rest of the NCIS building, she emerged a moment later
"You can go in Agent Gibbs" she said, her eyes following him in appreciationas he passed her by
Gibbs crossed to the large desk in the room behind which sat the director of NCIS
"Sir, I need to place Abby in protective custody" he said without waiting to be asked
"Good morning to you tooGibbs" Morrow smiled "and why do you need to do that, I thought you had the perpetrator in custody?" he said showing that he was fully aware of everything that went on in NCIS
"Yes sir, we did, but some new evidence came to light, and I believe that Abby may be in danger still." Gibbs said carefully, Morrow peered at him, seeing more than Gibbs was saying,he wavedGibbs into a seat
"Talk to me Jethro" Morrow said his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
…………………………………….
Kate and Tony headed towards the underground car park together
"So what do you think Abby has done?" Tony asked as they rode in the elevator
"Why would Abby have done anything wrong? Perhaps Gibbs needs her help on something?" Kate defended her friend "Just because when Gibbs demands your presence it means your in trouble, does not mean it's the same for everyone" she told him hotly
"Nah Abby did something; he was heading for Morrows office? She properly drove him mad last night and he wants to fire her" Tony said gleefully, "I'll miss Abs though, if not her music" Tony said knowing it would drive Kate crazy
"She is not getting fired" Kate said through gritted teeth, elbowing Tony out of her way to get to the car first
"Bags driving" she said reaching the drivers side and holding out her hand for the keys
"Nope I have the keys, I'm driving" Tony said getting in the passenger side and scooting over to the drivers side, Kate stood watching with her mouth open, Tony opened the window
"What's the matter Katie?" Tony drawled, "I drive better than Gibbs" Tony said, a smirk on his face
"Yeah but not by much, and then we have to listen to your music" she complained walking round and grudgingly getting into the passenger side, the tone was set, the drive would be one long fight, as usual.

Abby sat at the kitchen table, enjoying a cup of coffee, one of Gibbs's shirts her only covering after her shower, she liked the smell and the feelings evoked form the knowledgethat his skin had touched it, and so she had decided not to get dressed until it was nearer time for Jenny to pick her up. She sipped her coffee a grin on her face at the unexpected turn of events, unexpected but very welcome. She stood and stretched her muscles and body still sore from the beating Flynn had given her, planning to go and get her makeup on, when she heard a knock at the door.
Abby slowly made her way over to the front door, wishing Gibbs's shirt was a bit longer, but not really caring enough to find something to cover up more with, if it was the post man he was going to get a thrill she thought, she just wished it was Gibbs, but she knew him well enough to know that he would never sneak home early for a bit of morning fun.
Abby swung the door open a smile on her face for whoever was there
"Hello, Kate" Abby said, shocked at seeing her friend there, really wishing Gibbs's shirt was longer now "What are you doing here?" she asked, opening the door wider before seeing Tony getting out of the car
"Oh Crap" Abby said, tugging at the hem of the shirt and hating that she had no make up on. Tony was never going to let her forget this.
"Abby" Kate said, her eyes looking her friend over, confusion and questions warring for space on Kate's face "Is that one of Gibbs's shirts?" she asked carefully, her mind whirring at the implications, her eyes taking on a sparkle, she spun round as she heard Tony bounding up the steps, then turned back to Abby her eyes wide in warning and concern.
"Whoa" Tony said catching sight of Abby "Is that Goth girl?" he teased, first only seeing the no make up, then his eyes drifted lower to the long expanse of toned and pale legs showing under the blue chambray shirt. "Is that Gibbs's shirt?" he asked, his eyes widening, his face taking on the juvenile smirk he wore so often.
"Oh My God!" Tony said, slapping his leg and laughing out loud, "Good old Gibbs got some last night" he chortled, looking at Abby and dodging the elbow Kate aimed at him
"Abby... Abby my girl I am shocked at you, I thought you only had eyes for the probie" he continued following Abby into the house, who had yet to say a word
"Tony" Kate hissed from behind him, "Stop it now" she demanded trying to run interference for her friend, worried at Abby's silence
"No its ok Kate, I'm a big girl, and yes Tony, Gibbs did get some but it was this morning not last night, but I dare you to say that to his face" Abby said turning to face the two agents, her face creased in a huge smile, that radiated throughout the whole room "And it was fantastic, Gibbs is fantastic" she said twirling around the room, like a child at a party
Tony stood in shock, not expecting this reaction from his teasing, having expected Abby to deny it, and give him a perfectly good reason for her appearance
"You and Gibbs? You and he…" Tony stuttered at a loss, his eyes going round.
Abby smiled and nodded, then grew serious
"Why are you here?" she asked, looking at the shocked Kate and Tony in concern, knowing that something must be wrong for them both to be here.
"Um, ur Gibbs sent us to fetch you" Kate stuttered "We don't know why though, but he didn't look pleased when he left" Kate added on, her mind beginning to comprehend what Abby had said, her eyes lighting up with delight for Abby, she had guessed awhile ago how Abby felt about Gibbs, but she had never realised Gibbs felt the same way.
"So maybe you want to go and get dressed?" Kate said smiling; "Before Tony has a heart attack" she added looking at the still shocked and speechless Tony
Abby nodded and headed up the stairs, Kate paused and then ran after her, wanting details of the night's events. Tony didn't move, his jaw finally snapping closed, a grin breaking out
"You old dog, Gibbs" he muttered, crossing to the sofa, secretly pleased for Abby and his boss, if still shocked, he really had thought she had a thing for McGee.
