Abby sprung up and walked into where she had left them. They were about to walk out of her lab, but she shut the door with her remote. Gibbs and Kelly turned around in surprise.

"I hate to intrude on this moment, but we have a serious problem," she said frantically.

"Whats the problem?" Gibbs asked, still having one arm around Kelly.

"If people know shes alive they'll reopen the case!"

"So?"

"Including the 'Pedro Hernandez' case!" Abby yelled frantically. Gibbs realized she was right.

"You're right," Gibbs said trying to think about what to do," Nobody can find out about this yet."

"Or else you go to jail."

"Jail?" Kelly asked.

"It's a long story," Abby said,"What do we do?" Gibbs walked over to Abby and put his arm around her. He had one arm cradled

around Abby and the other around Kelly. He gently kissed the top of each ones head and held them close.

"It will all be okay girls," Gibbs said to them,"I promise. You two come over tonight, we have discuss this."

"Okay," Kelly said slightly looking at him,"What happened to Hernandez anyway?"

"We will talk about that later," Gibbs said, then he saw how nervous Abby was,"You okay Abby?" She nodded,"Everything will be okay, Abby."

She finally looked up at him and smiled,"I know."

That night the girls went over to Gibbs'. Kelly was happy to be with her dad. Abby was scared that Gibbs would be mad at her for not saving Shanon, so she tried to stay away from the subject. Gibbs noticed that Abby was not her relaxed self, so he tried to make her feel comfortable, but Abby really wanted to talk about what they were gonna do. The girls sat on the couch and Gibbs pulled up a chair and sat in front of them, facing them.

"I have a couple of questions," Gibbs said to the girls. Kelly nodded and Abby looked at the ground.

"I have some questions, too," Kelly said,"What are your questions?"

"How did you end up with the Scuitos?" Gibbs said the question for Kelly, but for Abby to answer,"Abby?"

"It doesn't matter," Abby mumbled.

"Abs," Gibbs said lifting her chin,"Why wont you tell me?"

"Abs?" Kelly said,"What were you doing there anyway?" Abby wouldn't dare to look at them. "Abby please tell me," Kelly said softly.

"My family and I were visiting with some old family friends and I got into a huge fight with Gloria and I packed up my bag and left. I packed: my first aid kit, some clothes, a blanket, a pair of shoes, and a map. I walked down this long, long, long dirt road trying to find a bus stop. That's what I was doing."

"Abby, you still haven't told me how you two met," Gibbs said," Also, how old were you anyway going off by yourself like that?" He said as a father would worry.

"I was eight. Okay then I started to feel a little scared because this road was abandoned pretty much, but I kept on going," Abby said then she closed her eyes," Then I heard a car." Gibbs still was confused, but he listened anyway.

"You heard a car?" Gibbs asked, trying to get her to clarify the statement.

"Yep. It passed me. I saw it from a glance, then I heard a small pop, then the car went off the road." Abby was now trying not to cry,"I-I ran to the side of the road and looked down and saw the car flip and flip and flip, then it landed on its side. I ran over and climbed on top of it."

"You climbed on top of it?" Gibbs asked slightly chuckling, still not realizing. Then Abby looked at him and he saw the sadness in her eyes, that this had been a traumatic event.

"Yeah, I climbed on top of it,"Abby said holding back tears,"The window was no longer there, so I looked in and- and-um," Abby was hysterical now. Gibbs sat next to her and pulled her head into his chest trying to comfort her. She cried against him, each sob broke him a little.

"You saved my life, Abby," Kelly said finishing her story," You bandaged me up got me a new life. You saved me."

"Gibbs!" Abby tried looking up at him, her mascara and eyeliner was now pouring down her cheeks, some was on his shirt,"I tried to save her I am so, so, so, so, so sorry! Please don't hate me. I tried to save her! I really did!"

"What are you talking about? Shes right here," Gibbs said confused.

"Shes not talking about me," Kelly said,"You cannot blame yourself for that!"

Gibbs finally realized who she was talking about,"Shanon," he said to himself. Then he motioned Kelly to give them a minute, after she walked in the other room he took Abby back in a hugging position.

"Abby," Gibbs said to Abby,"That is definitely not your fault. Do not blame yourself. I could never hate you."

Abby smiled slightly,"Really?"

Gibbs kissed the top of her head,"Yeah. I want to thank you for saving her. Any other 8 year old would of ran away."

"So, you don't hate me?"

"No, just the opposite," Gibbs said kissing her forehead. She smiled and hugged him.

"Just so you know," Abby said to him,"If I knew who she was I would of told you."

"Yeah, I know."

"Also...I have a plan," Abby said getting Gibbs attention,"It is risky, but it just might work. It will keep you out of jail and will keep all of us safe."

What will the plan be? Will it work? I hope you all liked this chapter! Thank you for the great reviews! :D
