"Tony!" Abby cried out, barreling into him. He pulled her close with a smile, saying,

"Hey Abbs. Glad you're okay." She laughed as she backed off and threw her arms around Ziva's neck.

"Don't strain yourself, Abby." Ziva said, with a smile, and then Abby hugged McGee, saying,

"I'm fine. Did you catch the guy yet?"

"Uh, not yet." Tony said bitterly as Abby hugged Ducky.

"Glad to have you home, Abigail." Ducky said with a smile, and Abby looked at him with narrowed eyes and said,

"You're only getting away with calling me that because I'm hurt, you know that right?"

"I call you that all the time." He countered, and she thought about that.

"Never mind." She said, and Ducky laughed as Abby hugged Jenny, who said,

"You sure you're okay, Abby?"

"I'm fine, Director, thanks though." Abby said warmly, and hugged Palmer. As they all walked into Gibbs' house, Abby slipped her arm through Tony's and said in his ear,

"Don't worry, Tony. You'll catch him." Gibbs caught what she said and he shook his head with a smile and put his hand lightly on her back and said,

"Yeah we will, Abbs." Tony and Abby looked at him for a moment, and then they all trooped into the house.

Tony ordered pizza and pop to be delivered, while Ziva, McGee, Ducky, Palmer and Jenny updated Gibbs and Abby on the case. Not that there was much to update. At ever scene there was very little evidence, which was quite frustrating.

When the pizza got there, everyone began having their own conversations. Ducky, Jenny and Gibbs discussed how Abby should be kept safe, while Ziva, McGee and Palmer talked about the best way for Palmer to not be so afraid and stop being so odd. Tony and Abby had a movie quiz, and Abby won, though Tony said he 'let' her win.

Eventually, Palmer had to leave because he had a date, which was something that shocked everyone except Abby, who didn't see why it was so hard to believe.

Next Jenny and Ducky left, telling Gibbs and Abby to not go into work the next day. Tony, Ziva and McGee weren't leaving as part of Abby's protection detail, and Gibbs protested, but in the end, they were staying.

There weren't many things that Tony, Ziva and McGee would argue to Gibbs about, but Abby's safety was the very first thing on the list.

Gibbs said goodnight to his team and took Abby upstairs, showing her where the spare bedroom was, though his efforts were only half-hearted. He went to his bedroom, but laid awake, fuming at the fact that someone wanted to kill his Abby, and that person was still out there, still walked this earth.

About a sleepless hour later, Gibbs heard footsteps and his door opened. He kept his hand on his gun that was on his bedside table, but then Abby's voice sailed through the darkness with a quiver to it, "Gibbs?"

"I'm awake, Abbs." Gibbs said softly, and added, "What's wrong?"

"I'm scared." Abby admitted in a soft voice, and Gibbs twisted his mouth into a soft smile as he scooted over and patted the bed beside him.

"C'mere." He said when she hesitated, and then flew into his arms.

"Should I be sorry?" She said, her voice muffled by his chest.

"Never. It's okay to be scared."

"The only fear is fear itself." Abby said quietly, and Gibbs smiled.

Only Abby would contradict herself like that. Abby settled in his arms and he pressed his lips to her head as they both drifted off. But then Abby couldn't sleep. She didn't want to toss or turn, for fear of waking Gibbs up, and she really didn't want to do that.

She sighed, and when she sucked back in a breath, she smelt something odd. She sniffed the air again, and it almost gagged her. She hid her face under the blankets for a moment, breathing in clean air, knowing it was some sort of gas in the air, and she felt herself getting dizzy.

Abby forced herself to get up and sat bolt upright, shaking Gibbs' shoulder, saying, "Gibbs! Wake up!" She demanded, shoving him. When he didn't wake up, she almost cried out in despair, but then she dragged him off of the bed, trying to be as careful as possible and breath in as little air as she possibly could.

Abby grabbed her phone and dialed 911, telling them about the gas. She was able to drage Gibbs out of the house and laid him on the grass and then dashed back in, yelling,

"Tony! Ziva! McGee!"

When there weren't an answers, she dashed into the living room and saw Ziva sleeping on the couch, McGee on a sleeping bag on the floor and Tony on a sleeping bag by the stairs. She grabbed Tony by the arm and pulled him out the front door.

She dashed back inside for Ziva, and knew that she couldn't make another trip. She grabbed both Ziva and McGee and almost couldn't drag them out, but knowing that if she stayed in the house any longer then she had to, then they would all die.

She mustered up all of her strength and pulled them both out, though it took double the time it took for Tony and Gibbs. Abby laid them all on the grass and, her strength failing her, she collapsed next to Gibbs, physically exhausted from dragging the four of them out.

Abby remembered that she had to check their pulses, so she forced herself to sit up and checked Gibbs' neck. He had a faint pulse, so she checked the other 3 agents for pulses and only Tony didn't have one.

She frantically began CPR and was forced to perform mouth-to-mouth. "Remember this, Tony, 'cause it'll never happen again." Abby whispered, tears forming in her eyes that she forced back as she kept going, desperately trying to get Tony to breathe.

When his chest finally rose with a breath, she almost cried out in relief as she saw Ziva begin to stir, as did Tony. Abby heard sirens but didn't care. Her friends were safe. That's all she knew. She felt her vision go blurry and heard Gibbs groan, "Abby…"

She blinked a few times, feeling medics grab her and put her in an ambulance with Gibbs and Tony. She was breathing through a oxygen mask, as was Gibbs and Tony, though she was the only one who was semi-conscious. Ziva and McGee were loaded in the second ambulance, as they were awake, just groggy and in less need of medical attention than Abby, Gibbs and Tony.

As the ambulances drove towards the hospital, Abby was filled with a vengeance that she had never felt before. This guy had gone after her friends to get to her. That wasn't going to happen again. She would make damn sure that this guy would never hurt her friends again.

Her eyes burned with fury as she swore that she would go looking for the guy himself before she let her friends get hurt again.
