Note: this is a bit of a test. I am currently at season 10 of my rerun bench watch. And I watch the episode where Gibbs and Abby talk about when Abby and Gibbs started working together and about the fortune cookie. It gave me this idea. I don't think there are that many Fanfic about Abby and Gibbs. I know she isn't on the show anymore but still… I miss Abby-Gibbs chemistry. depending on how this is received it will be a multi-chapter story. I hope you enjoy this. Please let me know what you think.
Bullpen
Special agent Gibbs is sitting at his desking, looking over some paperwork and sipping at his second cup of coffee of the day when his senior field Agent Anthony DiNozzo shows up for the workday.
"Morning, Boss." Tony greets. "ready for a new day?" Tony is always the cheerful kind of guy with a witty comment. Tony takes his seat at his desk and gets his computer started for the workday.
"I heard a new lab geek is coming in today," Tony says with a smile. "It is probably some geek who still lives in his mother's garage and doing lab experiments in the back yard."
"it is a woman, DiNozzo, and you behave yourself," Gibbs says with a smile without looking over at his senior field agent.
"oh, no worries, boss. She is probably some unattractive geek with thick circular glasses. Who always wear a lab coat and walking around with some leather folder as my old science teacher in high school did. I think she was like 50 and had never had a boyfriend." Tony jokes, and it does crack a smile on his boss's face. Then the elevator bell sounds, and the doors to the elevator open. A woman steps out of the elevator and looks searching around the bullpen. She catches DiNozzo's undivided attention. Not only because it is a woman but because of her appearance. She is a Tall black-haired woman with her hair up in high ponytails and with black eyeliner and black lipstick. She is wearing long high black leather boots and tight black jeans and with a black leader dog coaler with spikes on it around her neck. She walks over to the entrance of the bullpen. Now she has caught Gibbs's attention too.
"hey, the zombie convention is in the next building," Tony says.
"oh, really, there is a zombie convention today? I thought it was next week?" she asks, confused, and Tony gets even more confused since she clearly didn't get the demeaning joke, he was making referring to her style.
"I am looking for a…" she looks down at her hand. She must have written the name down in her palm. "a special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs." She sounds a little uncertain as she pronounces the unusual name and looks over at Tony.
"you found him," Gibbs says and stands up and walks over to the women. "I'm special agent Gibbs." He says formally and reaches out a hand to her. She shakes his hand. He immediately notices the black knitted fingerless gloves she is wearing that has white skulls knitted on the top and the black nail polish she is wearing. She suddenly feels very uncomfortable and uncertain of herself as she feels everyone in the big office is now looking at her.
"I'm…" she stutters a bit as she is going to introduce herself, which is a big contrast to the very confident women that stepped out of the elevator just a few minutes ago. "I'm Abigale Schuito. I'm a new Forensic Scientist. It is nice to meet you, sir." Abby says formally.
"Follow me," Gibbs says almost like order and starts walking quickly towards the elevator. Abby is a bit shocked about the rapid introduction, but she immediately follows Gibbs. She has difficulties running towards the elevator in her chunky leather boots she is wearing, but she catches up to him.
As they are standing in the elevator, Abby is standing a bit behind the senior field agent. She is noticing his unusual haircut.
"I read you graduated from Louisiana State University."
Gibbs says, trying to make conversation with the young girl when he notices she seems very uncomfortable. He usually doesn't make small talk. He prefers the quietness.
Yes, sir. I triple majored in Sociology, Criminology, and psychology. "very eagerly. And I got my master's degree from Georgia State University in Criminology and Forensic Science, sir." Abby says, trying to sound more formal like the man next to her. She is also trying to stand straighter up as he does. He seems so official with his coffee cup in his hand. She is seeking a bit to imitate him without being too obvious. She has her cup of caf pow in her hand. The elevator bell sounds alerting the passengers that they have arrived at their destination. "don't call me, sir." Gibbs formally says as he steps out, followed by the young girl.
"what would you like me to call you, special agent, Leroy Jethro Gibbs?" she asks, reciting his full name and title.
"just Gibbs." He says, and they walk into the forensics lab. It has all of the newest equipment within forensic science.
"wow. This is so cool." The young girl exclaims loud once they step inside the lab. She walks around in the lab, looking at everything. Gibbs is just observing. She reminds him of a little puppy he just let out in the house for the first time.
"no way, there is a speaker system too?" Abby says, amazed.
"can I play my music while I work?" she asks and places her purse on the table.
"I guess, yeah," Gibbs says, not sure what to expect from this young woman. She takes out a cd and place in the cd-player on the table and turns on the speakers. The sound of loud music, which mostly sounds like heavy metal music.
"isn't it good?" she asks Gibbs as she rocks along to the music. She can see on his facial expression it isn't exactly his type of music. She turns off the music a little disappointed.
"I won't play my music at work then." She says disappointed and takes the cd out of the cd-player and puts the cover back in her purse. She looks so disappointed, almost like a little kid.
"you can play your music when I am not here." He offers as a compromise, and she agrees with a big smile and runs over and gives him a big hug.
"thank you. Thank you. Thank you." Abby says, over-enthusiastic. When he doesn't reciprocate the hug, she steps away and realizes embarrassed that she might have overstepped the line by hugging him.
"I'm sorry, Agent Gibbs. I really like to hug people. I take you are not a hugger."
"Nope." He just simply says and takes a sip of his coffee.
"hey, boss." It is the senior field agent, Tony DiNozzo, that has entered the lab. "we got a case. It is a messy one." He says and hands Agent Gibs a note.
"do I need to come?" Abby asks.
"no." Gibbs says and leaves. "we will bring the evidence to you, Abigale." He calls back to her.
"it is Abby." She calls out as she hears the elevator doors closing.
