Disclaimer: once again, I don't own NCIS
A/N: This is a pretty interesting chapter, at least you get to meet her, but I must admit, chapter 3 may end up more interesting.
The elevator doors came open and the newest addition to the team strolled through the threshold. Tony took a glance with the plan to get strait back to his work, but his eyes didn't agree. She wasn't what America would call the perfect beauty, but she caught Tony's attention nonetheless. One thought entered Tony's mind and repeated itself several times. 'I have GOT to meet her!'
Gibbs rose from his seat and strode over to meet the assistant at the elevator. Abby watched him curiously. A few seconds ago he was scowling about whatever unfortunate event had befallen him that morning (such as bad coffee, or evil mail men) but now a smile crossed his face. She tilted her head and looked back over toward the elevator. 'RED!' she thought. Her face fell as she realized the cause for Gibbs' newfound merriment. Her new assistant had red hair. Gibbs always went crazy over red heads. Now, whether she liked it or not, Abby was jealous. Gibbs shook her hand and led her closer to meet the rest of the team.
"Pay attention everyone," Gibbs announced, "This is Enora Abernathy, the new forensics assistant. Enora, this is Special Agent Caitlin Todd - we call her Kate, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo – Tony, and Forensics Specialist Abby Sciuto."
"Good to meet all of you," Enora replied.
"It's good to meet you too," Kate said politely.
"Yes," Tony agreed, "maybe Abby won't be so destructive now." Kate shot him a dirty look for his rude first impression.
"Very funny Tony." Abby had finally come out of her trance. "Not that you haven't made enough of a bad impression by yourself, but I could take the task upon myself to tell Enora every embarrassing story I can think of about you, even that special incident with the iguana." Tony cringed at the mention of the 'I' word. Abby smiled back.
"Okay…" Gibbs continued, "Now that we've thoroughly confused her, Abby, why don't you take her down to get acquainted with the lab."
"Sure! I was gonna go down there anyways. I felt a sudden lack of caffeine." Abby turned toward the elevator and scowled. Gibbs was flirting, she just knew it…either that or she was paranoid, but at that moment it didn't matter. The point is Gibbs liked red heads. She pushed the correct button on the elevator and the doors came open. She walked inside and waited for Enora to enter before pushing the button for her floor. She looked into nothingness for a moment and wondered what she would look like with red hair, then she remembered the incident with her mother's food coloring and came back to the real world.
