Hi all! Sorry I haven't written in so long, but good news, I'm back on the wagon!

Jimmy walked out of the automatic doors to stand in front of the elevator. Before he could push the button the elevator dinged cheerfully. It seemed this was Jimmy's lucky day. He stepped inside and pressed the button for Abby's lab. Absently he fidgeted with the evidence bag in his hands. He found assisting with autopsies much more interesting than messengering evidence between Abby and Doctor Mallard, although he did thoroughly enjoy seeing Abby each day. She just cheered him up with her ADD reminiscent way of informing him of thing that were interesting yet completely trivial. Much like Doctor Mallard. Maybe NCIS should install a dumbwaiter for evidence Jimmy pondered, not even taking to account the chain of evidence. He really was intelligent; he just missed some of the obvious things. It was a flaw many people could simply not find attractive or just couldn't see through. It made befriending new people very difficult coupled with the fact he could be very socially awkward at times. Jimmy felt like a young child at parties, alone, confused and hauntingly unwanted. He shook his head like a dog shaking off water, trying to keep his mind of thoughts like those. Just then the elevator dinged again signaling that his ride was over. Blindly he stepped out of the elevator and slammed into a hard rock wall of muscle. Hot liquid spilled all over himself and the wall.
"Ha-ha-hot!" He cried out. Desperately he looked up to find Special Agent Gibbs looking condescendingly down at him. "I am so sorry Agent Gibbs, I-I-I" Jimmy caught sight of the quickly spreading coffee stain on the older man's shirt. It sometimes surprised him how much of a snappy dresser Agent Gibbs truly was. Stupidly Jimmy tried to franticly wipe the coffee off Agent Gibbs' shirt with the evidence bag in his hands.
"Palmer! Palmer" Gibbs finally caught the assistants attention "Really?" he questions in a tone that mixed skepticism and sarcasm. Jimmy winced in embarrassment and became almost positive in a moment of unwelcome lucidity that he was blushing.
As usual reviews are appreciated.
