Gibbs stared at the woman across the table from him. He had to admit, she was gorgeous, but somewhere deep inside... he hated her. She was the reason that Nick had left Abby and of course, he had to sit and watchAbby suffer. Although, there was another part of him that loved this woman. She was the reason that Nick had left Abby and that meant that he had the chance to comfort her. Could he possibly have a chance with his little lab rat? Did she feel the same way?

He shook these thoughts from his mind as he remebered that he had a person to interrogate. "Lieutenant Valcone, where were you Tuesday morning between 0400 and 0700 hours?"

"At my house asleep and before you even ask... I had no witnesses to me sleeping."

"Don't you normally sleep over at Lieutenant Perry's house?"

"He is my boyfriend, not my husband. He didn't own my life and besides, we had gotten into a fight."

"Were you angry enough to kill him?"

"No! Of course not. You think I killed him? I didn't do it, but I am pretty sure I know who did."

Gibbs sat back and listened. "Who?"

"That little bitch ex-girlfriend of his, Abby."

Anger flashed through Gibbs' eyes and he had the sudden urge to jump over and strangle Haven where she sat, but he had a job to do. He needed to find out the truth. Besides, Abby wouldn't kill anyone. "What makes you say that?"

"She was the reason we were arguing. That little whore was sleeping with him again. I found her number in his room and I got angry when he told me it was hers. He swore up and down that nothing was going on, that they were just friends, but I could tell he was lying. The next thing I know... I am so mad and pissed off that I just walk out. That was the last time I saw him," Haven explained, her voice cracking as she tried to hold back tears.

"When was this?"

"Late Sunday night. I'd say around 2100 hours. I know she visited him on Monday night though. I called and I could..." she paused as a tear streamed down her cheek. "I could hear her laughing in the background when I called. I guess he thought he had hung up the phone, but he hadn't so I continued to listen. I could hear Abby giggling and saying stop." More tears flowed down Haven's cheeks. "He had lied to me and I was so hurt. Then I heard more things... only noises you make during sex."

Gibbs' heart sank. His Abby? Would she ever do that? Would she be what was considered 'the other woman'? No, not his Abby. She respected people and despised cheating. "How can you be so sure it was sex?"

"First of all, I cou..." Haven was interrupted by Tony's voice coming over the intercom.

"Gibbs, you need to get out here now. We have an emergency." Tony's voice was shaky.


"What the hell is going on here?" Gibbs stormed into the bullpen with Tony at his heels. He watched in horror as an officer handcuffed Abby and two others were holding back Kate. "Fornell?" Gibbs could see the FBI agent standing between them all, blood pouring out of his nose.

"Agent Gibbs, we are here to take Abigail in. She is under arrest for the murder of Lieutenant Nicolas Perry."

"Fornell you better unhandcuff my specialist now or I swear on my life you won't live to see the light of tomorrow!" Gibbs yelled.

"Just be glad we're not taking this one in too." Fornell pointed to a struggling Kate. "Assualting an officer is a serious crime."

"Did you hit him Kate?" Gibbs questioned. Kate nodded, no remorse on her face. "You're getting a raise."

"Do I make more money if I shoot him?" Kate said, continuing to try and get out of the officers grasps.

"Damn it Fornell! This isn't your case. Release her now!"

"Jethro, Jethro. Always thinking his the leader of the pack. This case hit too close to home. It is ours now."

Gibbs pulled his gun from the holster at his waist and held it between Fornell's eyes. "I'll give you to the count of three. One. Two."

"Let her go," Fornell demanded to his officers. "We'll be back tomorrow. You can't hide from the truth. She murdered him Jethro."

"Where's your proof?"

"Just a matter of time," Fornell said.

"Get out of here!" Gibbs yelled. Fornell held up his hands and began to walk towards the elevator, two of his officers in tow. The other one still stupidly held one of Kate's wrists. Taking her chance Kate elbowed him in the stomach and then kicked him in the groin.

"You should probably follow your boss," she commented.


Okay, I am pretty sure that Fornell is the one that Gibbs can't stand right? And Fornell also works for the FBI... yes? Doesn't Gibbs also call him Tobias or something like that? Although I watch NCIS religiously, I know nothing about Fornell. I would really appreciate it if someone could help clear all of this up.
