A/N: Hmm, what do you think? ;D
It's been a week since Abby left from NCIS. If they missed her? Of course they did, every nanosecond that's ever been. They wondered how she was holding up, they wondered if she was okay. If she was alive. If she was Abby. Gibbs always went to her apartment to check every now and then and maybe drink a cup of coffee and chit-chat most of the time. She, on the other hand, did not want to ask. She didn't wanna know. After HE told her to get the hell out of there, she never wanted to come back there. Because she always respected his decisions and his words. Yes, she slapped him, but you don't say something like that in front of Abby, like ever.
And Tony refused to ask. He didn't wanna know, he was happy the way he was and maybe he was better off without her. Or was he? He didn't know, but apart all that, he did miss her like hell. He missed her smile. The girl that took her place was a boring one. Just gave results and got you out. Always closing the door behind, never smiling like she meant it. The lab was no longer his shell…it didn't feel like his home. It was no longer his comfortable place, the place where he could sleep for hours…next to her…
No, it didn't have her warmth in it, or her perfume, or the music. So, he even refused to go down there. There was no one there to pick his interest, to flirt with him, to calm him down after a hectic day, to kiss his cheek and make everything go away. There was no one there to say good morning to him with a smile. He always liked going ''home'' and have someone to smile at him and hug him. Now, all he had was this girl…that stranger…
''Tony!'' Gibbs distracted his trail of thought.
''Where's your mind?'' Gibbs knew.
''Nowhere…'' He couldn't hide from Gibbs, though.
Gibbs head slapped him. ''Snap out of it.''
Tony nodded. ''Thank you, boss.''
McGee and Ziva came in bringing paperwork. ''Dinozzo, we come bearing gifts!''
Tony rolled his eyes. ''Since when does the senior agent do that much paperwork? I want an increase of my salary. A good one.''
Gibbs grinned. ''Yup, you can keep dreaming. McGee, I have some evidence here, get them down.''
McGee took the evidence. ''Going to Ab-''
He stopped. Gibbs looked at McGee shaking his head. Ziva lowered her head, whereas Tony stiffed. Tony got up, glared at McGee and went to the head.
McGee looked at Gibbs and saw his boss sighing. He knew he wasn't supposed to say that, but he didn't do it on purpose, he couldn't get used to that other girl. Abby was Abby, for Christ Sake!
Ziva sat at her desk, when McGee left and continued doing paperwork, glancing at Tony's desk, wondering how he was.
Tony was leaning on the counter at the head, closed eyes, calming down. Just then, another agent from another team came in, talking on the cell phone.
''Yeah, baby, yes, I got it. I will take the groceries and then come home. I have a dinner surprise for you, my treasure. Jesus, Abby, yes.''
Tony stiffed and quickly looked at that agent, going numb. When that guy hang up, he got him by his bow tie and smashed on the wall. ''Abby who?!''
The guy almost died of heart attack. ''Err…A-A-A-bby, my-my-my wife.''
Tony's eyes went red. ''WHAT IS HER NAME?!''
The guy gulped. ''A-A-A-A-bigail W-i-iliams.''
Tony let the guy down and looked at him.
What the hell was wrong with him? He nearly choked that guy to death! He really needed to calm down and take a break a few days, or else he would go crazy and get suspended for sure. Just then, the team ran and came in with guns, hearing the loud bang when the guy hit the wall.
''What the hell, Dinozzo?'' Gibbs was worried. His agent was not alright, he was suffering, mentally suffering. ''I don't want to see your face here tomorrow. Take a damn day off.''
Ziva and McGee were shocked. Could he be suffering that much? What they didn't know, is that he had nightmares everyday because of her. He couldn't sleep because of her…and because of her, his cheek hurt for a whole week. And his heart shattered to pieces.
Maybe Dinozzo needed a doctor. Or maybe he needed to go and see her, to learn how she is doing. Maybe.
