Abby looked up from her Bunsen burner as Gibbs and Tony walked in.
"Hey Guys."
"What's going on with those fibers, Abbs?"
She gestured towards the microscope. "I just finished with them. Hey Tony!" He jerked away from the equipment he was about to poke. "Can you help me?"
"Me? Sure! What do I do?"
"Dissolve this powder in the liquid in that beaker," she indicated the one above the burner, "mix in 3 drops from this vial and two from that. And then add ten drops of this" she held up a jar of blue liquid with an eyedropper. "then pour it in this pan and put it on the top shelf of the fridge."
"Ooookay……" Tony took her place as Abby walked over to Gibbs and started explaining the theory behind the fibers and what she had found. Tony carefully measured and mixed, taking his time because he didn't want to screw up whatever test Abby was doing. When the blue liquid was at last sitting serenely in the refrigerator, he joined them.
"So they match?"
"Yup. Right down to the sleazy Avocado green dye they used." She cocked her head to the side. "Why they call it Avocado green when it looks like nothing found in nature is beyond me, but oh well."
Gibbs walked back to the door and retrieved the Caf-Pow! that he had left there. "Thanks Abbs."
"No problemo." Gibbs walked out and back up to the bullpen. Tony hung back for a bit.
"So, what was it that you were doing?"
"Huh?" Abby looked up from the ocular lenses of the microscope.
"That whole mixing thing. What was it? Drug test?"
"No."
"Trying to identify that powder?"
"No."
"DNA test?"
"No."
"New hair dye?"
"No."
Tony leaned back against her desk. "So what did you just have me make?"
"Jell-o."
