2- Audio connection

Abby still stared at the red light that had come up above her. She wasn´t quite sure what to make of it. It could be just about anything. A voice suddenly cut into the silence. "Hello, Abigail. I hope you´ve got settled. I decided that a larger coffin would be a bit more comfortable for you. Oh, I thought you might like to hear what your friends are doing, so I took the freedom to set up a little connection to them -don´t worry, it´s not traceable." A creepy, strangely altered voice said and she felt a chill run down her spine.

A moment later, she heard people talking and tears started to sting in her eyes as she recognized the voices. "Tony, knock it off! This is not one of those pranks they pull on you for April Fool´s day." Kate´s voice came from somewhere above her, but Abby couldn´t see the device.

"McGee! Anything on that e-mail thing?" That was Gibbs. He sounded worried and of course rather grumpy. She smiled a bit as she imagined them in the bullpen together. Gibbs was probably close to just kick the computer again, leaving it ready for disposal. He had done so twice in the last three months.

"It´s too large for a pure textmessage...There seems to be some transmission...that´s really odd...that would need some kind of controller around here..." McGee´s voice was heard a moment later.

"It´s audio, Tim." Abby whispered and felt another tear running down her face. Suddenly, there was silence on the other end of the line and she wondered what had happened.

"Did anyone here that?" Kate asked after a moment. "I could swear someone was just talking, but it was faint."

Abby felt her heart beating like mad. "Kate..." She said a bit louder and heard a surprised yelp.

"I´m going mental..." That was Kate again, sounding really confused. Something shattered on the floor, it sounded like a cup or something similar.

Someone walked around close to wherever that microphone was hidden. "You´re not, unless all of us are. Abbs?" That was Gibbs again, his voice sounding like he was standing really close to her.

Abby felt more tears rolling down her face. "Gibbs...help me." She whispered and waited. It seemed too good to be true that she could actually talk to them, inspite of her current situation.

"Abbs...are you hurt?" He sounded really worried now and she knew that didn´t happen often. She had heard that undertone in his voice only once before, right after Kate and Tony had been hurt in an explosion.

"No, don´t think so...I...I´m in a coffin...it´s buried, Gibbs." She managed and tried to calculate how much hair there was inside it. "I´m scared." She admitted and felt her hands shaking.

"Stay really calm, Abbs. We´ll find you, I promise, okay? Don´t talk unless it´s really really important. Try to sleep or take really shallow breaths. You need to hang in there for a moment, okay, girl?" She smiled slightly. That was unusual for Gibbs. She knew he had this caring side, but he rarely showed it, especially at work.

"Ok." She replied and closed her eyes, trying to remember what Kate had told her about yoga and preserving energy. It was good to know that they were looking for her, but the fear that had been gripping her heart was still there. She had seen cases of suffocation in her work before and it sure wasn´t a pretty sight. This was not how she wanted her life to end and for the first time ever, she prayed.
