Abby ran into the bullpen extremely excited.
"Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs!" Abby said excitedly.
"Yes, Abs. What is it?" Gibbs said.
"Remember how I told you that I met my biological parents?"
"Yeah."
"Well, they're out of money again and asked me to take care of one of my brothers for a month."
"What did you say?"
"I said yes. He has an IQ of 165, he's a genies. He is apparently the second from the youngest."
"Including you and Kyle, how many kids do they have?"
"Seven. It's Me and Kyle, then Francis, then Reese, Malcolm, Dewey, then Jamie."
"How old are they?"
"Kyle and I are twins as you know, so you already know his age. Francis is about sixteen, Reese is thirteen, Malcolm is like 11, Dewey is like seven or eight, and Jamie is almost 2."
"They are very young," Ziva said.
"Yeah. It's weird! And that reminds me, Gibbs?" Abby put her best puppy eyes on and looked at him, "I need a favor."
"Yes?" Gibbs asked, trying not to fall for it.
"I need to pick Malcolm up in a few hours, so I need to leave for a few minutes."
"Sure, Abs," Gibbs said. He could sense how nervous she was about meeting her brother, but he wasn't going to say anything in front of the team.
"Thanks," she said smiling, then she made her way to the elevator, to go back to the lab, Gibbs followed her and joined her in the elevator. When they both got in, he shut it off.
"Abby, you need to be careful," Gibbs said.
"Well, what am I supposed to do? He's my brother!" Abby said, not knowing how to handle this.
"You need to find out if this kid has a criminal record or anything that could put you in harm's way."
"Don't you think I did that already? He's pretty much clean, but Reese and Francis...not so much. Look, I just moved into the house that my aunt left me; I have room for all of them! But I only need room for Malcolm, thankfully," Abby looked at Gibbs and took a deep breath, "I'm terrified."
"Yeah, I know," Gibbs said putting his arm around her. She wrapped her arms around him and held him tightly; she was scared about Malcolm and didn't want to show it. When she let go she looked at him.
"I'm fine, but if something comes up I'll give you a call," Abby said. Gibbs nodded and kissed her cheek, before turning the elevator back on.
"Good," he said, and then he walked out of the elevator. Abby was nervous, but she knew Gibbs had her back.
