Can you see the file folder on Gibbs' desk? It sure is growing thicker. I see two notes on top. Oh, dear - recognize that crumpled one? It looks like the note that Ducky left for Abby down in the lab?

Please don't tell me that she threw it out!

If she did, that must mean that Gibbs "rescued" it. That can't be good for Miss Scuito.

What about that other note that is also about to be added to his file? It seems to have Ducky's handwriting as well.

Dear Jethro,

Remember last Valentine's Day and the havoc that resulted from the best intentions of your team?

It is about to happen again.

Earlier I became aware of our dear Abigail's plans to continue going behind your back to plan a party for the fourteenth. I gave her the afternoon to respond to my warning not to continue with her plans but she seems to have decided to ignore me. Thus I am alerting you to her behaviour. You may want to intervene so that things do not get out of control.

You will have your hands full with her, I can see. She is rather what I have heard some refer to as a "wild child". Such a sweet girl but so stubborn when she decides that she wants something in particular.

Very sorry to be giving you this news, but I must uphold my promise to Miss Scuito.

See in the morning when we resume work on the case.

Do not work all night on that boat of yours.

Sincerely,

Duck

What do you think of that? We could stay around and watch Gibbs react, or we could flee the scene so he does not head-slap us.

Perhaps waiting until tomorrow would be a good choice, do you agree? Let me grab my coat and we can stop by the lab to see if Abby has left yet before we go.
