Kelly came back in the room and sat down next to Gibbs. Abby cleaned her make up up and then started to talk about her amazingly crazy plan.
"Okay. I have a plan. It may just work if everything goes as planed,"Abby said,"I will fix the Pedro Hernandez file so that it would say that there was inconclusive evidence."
"How?" Gibbs asked.
"I will replace the bullet that was in Pedro Hernandez's head with a smashed up bullet from another case."
"That's illegal!" Kelly exclaimed,"Cool." Gibbs glared at her and Abby chuckled.
"Okay, so I will make up a new case report and at 0200 hours I will shut down the cameras at NCIS for 10 minutes and sneak down to the evidence locker and swap the files and evidence. And here is the best part,"
Abby smiled widely and silenced herself,"Wait for it..."
"Abby the suspense is driving me nuts," Kelly chuckled.
"Okay, I can make it all look like a glitch."
"That's awesome," Kelly said smiling,"I taught you well." Abby scoffed playfully. "Okay, you taught me."
"Also, no one can know that you are you know, until a week after this all goes down. I don't want to draw any attention to this."
"That's fine," Kelly said, then she turned to Gibbs,"You had questions?"
"Yeah," Gibbs said,"Did you go to collage?"
"No, I couldn't go because technically I didn't exist," Kelly said,"But Abby taught me everything she knew and I was
home schooled by Gloria." Gibbs nodded.
"Abby," Gibbs said,"When is this plan of yours going to take place?"
"After 0200, the day after tomorrow," she replied. Gibbs nodded.
They talked for some time, then the girls decided to stay the night. Kelly fell asleep in the guest room upstairs and Abby was still awake. Abby was downstairs drinking in Gibbs' basement. After Gibbs tucked his daughter in and kissed her forehead, he went downstairs and joined Abby. Gibbs watched Abby work on is boat and drink for the longest time before she noticed him.
Abby turned around and jumped when she saw Gibbs, then she started to laugh.
"You scared me," Abby said chuckling and going back to sanding the boat,"It has been quite a day, huh?"
"Yes, it has," Gibbs said taking a sip of bourbon,"I wanted to thank you, Abby."
"For what?" Abby asked confused.
"You know what."
"Oh!" Abby said realizing, she started to laugh at her stupidity," Oh, that! Its fine, don't mention it."
"Abby, it must of scared you, though," Gibbs asked concerned,"Why did you intervene?"
Abby stopped sanding the boat and she took a breath,"Yeah, it scared me. I ran over to the car and I saw a crying girl about my age. I wasn't about to let her suffer. I knew I could help, so I did what any decent person should of done."
"Abby," Gibbs said turning her around to look at him,"I heard about a case where there was a mother and her three small children in the car. The car flipped over and they were passed out. There were 30 eye witnesses, none came to their aid. The mother and her children died. Later the eye witnesses were asked why they didn't help. And do you know what they said?"
"No, what did they say?"
"They said it would of inconvenienced them, it would of been dangerous, or it was too scary. It would of saved the driver and the children if they had tried. So, 30 adults couldn't build up the courage to do what one 8 year old kid did." Gibbs said," Abby, you could of just walked away. No one would of blamed you for just leaving."
"I would of," Abby said,"I would never of been able to forgive myself if I had just left no matter who was in that car."
Gibbs smiled and kissed her forehead,"Your a good kid, Abby." Abby smiled, then she hugged him. Gibbs hugged her back and kissed her forehead. Abby buried her head in his chest and held tight to him. Gibbs smiled to himself, he didn't have one daughter anymore, now he had two.
Two days later Abby went to NCIS and her plan worked! No one was suspicious or second guessed the video surveillance glitch. Everything seemed like it was okay, so they had planed on telling the team K.J.'s true identity a week later, but then something happened. Something very unexpected and very dangerous happened. Gibbs has to make a life or death decision that could change everyone's life as they know it.
Hope you like it! There is a slight cliff hanger! :D
