They arrived in Canada and got through customs and every other obstacle in their way without much trouble and it happened very quickly. After all, who wants to wait in line with two guys handcuffed to each other? They exited the building quickly and Gibbs soon saw what he was looking for.
It happened to be a Starbucks. Forcefully, Gibbs pushed McGee in and they headed to a counter where a bored looking 19-ish year old stood, or rather slouched upon the counter.
"Bonjour." McGee smiled the teen looked at him., "Um. Je suis américain. De la Virginie. L'homme surly vieil je handcuffed à-"
Hello - I am American. From Virginia. The surly old man I'm handcuffed to-
"Je vraiment ne m'inquiète pas." Teenager rolled their eyes and sighed a bit.
I really don't care.
"Non, vous ne comprenez pas. Il m'a capturé! Je suis un prisonnier." Cried McGee Gibbs looked at him oddly. "It's how you order coffee in French speaking countries. With gusto." McGee lied.
No, you do not understand. He captured me! I am a prisoner.
"Svp congé." The teenager whimpered.
Please leave.
"They're fresh out of coffee, sir." McGee shrugged.
"Ellie Marx you get back here right now!" commanded Steven Philips following Ellie to the bullpen. Once again Ellie had gotten him to agree to something he rather not do. It was weird how much power she had over him, he should have had all the power over her. He was over a foot taller than her (but then again, Ellie was barely 5' 1"). She was dominant, and he was even more dominant, but something about her had made him say yes to helping her.
"No. You said you'd help now lift me up." She started climbing on his shoulders and though Steven heard himself protesting he helped steady her mud covered shoes that were now on top of his white t-shirt.
"I think that's what I think it is. Get on top of Tony's desk!" she grinned. Once gain, Steven did as she said, going through every thought he could in order to make sense of the current situation.
"Oh my god! It is!" Ellie gasped her hands flying to her mouth.
"Night shift get off my desk!" Tony commanded barging into the bullpen where to agents who worked the night shift were.
"Gah!" Ellie screamed as Steven started to lose his balance and stumbled off the desk.
"Don't squish Abby's mother!" Kate shrieked pulling the lady in pink out of Ellie and Stevens way.
"That's Abby's mother?" suddenly Steven had regained balance Ellie looking as though she was about to scream.
"Yup." Tony brushed off his desk and pulled out three pieces of poster board.
"I never would have guessed." Ellie managed to say. Still standing on Stevens shoulders they turned around and headed off to some other fiendish activity.
"I wonder what they were looking at?" Little did Tony know what was happening outside in the NCIS parking lot.
Creepy, yet classy, superhero music played softly from Skywalker's head phones. In his blue spandex he stood out. Even if it was barely light outside.
His only super power, Caffie-Sense had told him he'd been spotted, and the two NCIS members looking at him through the window. He wondered why they were still there, and if all NCIS agents were touched in the head.
But that didn't matter right now. Obi Wan was missing.
He pulled out of metal detector, magnifying glass and a pouch of zip lock bags to hold any evidence he might find and begun scanning the parking lot.
Cheerfully Abby made her way to the building. She'd been in the parking lot for 30 minutes talking to Skywalker, though she wasn't sure if he was listening. Gibbs' car wasn't there yet which made her quite happy. Gibbs needed his sleep.
He was, after all, only human. Probably.
Casually she slipped into the building and past security without any trouble and headed off to her lab to she if Kate was wearing the same clothes as the day before.
"Dawg." Ducky stated as he walked into the bullpen to tell Gibbs the results of an autopsy. "Yo" he said, "Sweet."
He smiled and noticed the three familiar faces int eh bullpen though not the one's he'd expected.
"Yo young Tony! And Mornin' Caitlin!" He greeted cheerfully then turned to the unexpected one. Hello. He signed to Abby mother before noticing all three were covered in glue, and surrounded by bits of photocopied pictures.
Ducky bit his lip and looked at one of the posters. Naked baby pictures. "Are these Abby?" he asked aloud. There was no mistaking who it was. The smile gave it away immediately, but he felt it best to get confirmation.
Evily, all three nodded.
