Because she told me
Tony looked up from his desk as he heard the elevator doors open, and watched his colleague walk over towards his own desk. Tim dropped his bag on the chair and looked over at Tony.
"Well…" Tony asked, expectantly. Tim smiled slightly. "No change, she's still stable. But she's going to be fine," he said. Tony blinked. "Of course she is, McGee. But… if there's no change, how do you know…?" he trailed off. Tim smiled at him as Gibbs entered the bullpen.
"Because she told me," he said simply. He turned to Gibbs. "Morning, Boss. I will of course be in the lab, if anyone needs me." He smiled one last time at both men, as he headed towards the elevator.
Gibbs glanced at Tony, questioningly. Tony shrugged. "Still no change, but he says she'll be fine."
"Hm," Gibbs said, smiling. He took a long pull from his coffee cup. "As soon as you've got your stuff together, I want you to sort out that evidence from yesterday and get it down to the lab. Allow lots of time, Tony. We're not dealing with Abby today."
Tony nodded, and smiled. A sudden feeling of calm overtook him. Yes, Tim was right. Abby would be just fine.
