Wow! The days are rushing by so quickly! And you know what that means - since it is the 8th there are only six more days until Valentine's. In Gibbs' thinking that probably equates to six more days to try to get Abby to behave.
Hear that phone call? Gibbs might not be the only one.

Phone Transcript:
Callers: Tim McGee, Abby Scuito
Abby: Hey.
Tim: Abby, it's me, Tim.
Abby: I know, Timmy, that's what caller id tells me.
Tim: Yeah, I guess.
Abby: Do you need anything done for the cold case you're working on? Because it is Friday afternoon and I'm bored. I don't have anything to process and I really want something to do!
Tim: So I've heard. Jimmy mentioned that he saw you carrying in a giant sack of Valentine's candy.
Abby: Yes, I got every kind available!
Tim: Abby, is that wise?
Abby: I did it over my lunch break. Gibbs can't get mad at me for that!
Tim: He can't?
Abby: Of course not! And it is nearly the weekend. With all of you guys just working on cold cases, Gibbs probably won't even hear about it and even if he did, I'll just slip away for the weekend and he'll forget about it by Monday.
Tim: You do realize that this is Gibbs we're talking about, right?
Abby: Your point?
Tim: If you don't already know it, you won't get it. Well, I've got to get back to work. Just wanted to check up on you, little Miss Mischief.
Abby: Okay. Talk to you later!
Tim: Bye.
...
Oh, goodness, not only is Abby continuing with her plans, now she has a stockpile of candy.
Hyper Abby on a holiday. Maybe now I'm seeing why Gibbs doesn't want her to "celebrate".

Hope all of you readers out there are enjoying! I have done a lot of playwriting and enjoy the style, so this is actually quite enjoyable for me to tap out in spare moments. Plus, the short chapters allow me to write more scenes faster.
I likely won't catch up to the current date today, but by tomorrow I hope to be back on track. I'll see you in the next chapter!
