Chapter 2

The had been called to a case the morning after their little run in at Palena's and the whole team didn't know how to react to Gibbs. Of course, Gibbs spotted his usual blasé attitude with them, pretending that the previous night had never happened because that would mean addressing the issue of Genvieve and who she was.

Everything was working to how he planned it, Tony, Ziva and McGee were playing along with him, pretending that they didn't see him yesterday either. The case was running smoothly and they needed the DNA results. Gibbs had gotten a CafPow from the store to bring to Abby hoping that she too was playing along in that little game of tiptoeing around eggshells.

"Abs," Gibbs called out over the music and motioned for her to turn it down. She glared at him before walking over to her sound system turning down the volume. Gibbs handed her the CafPow and she just placed it down on the table.

"Here are the DNA results," Abby said handing him the papers she had printed out. She wasn't in the mood to talking to Gibbs, not after last night and how he had acted towards the 'Mommy' of the team.

"What's wrong, Abs?" Gibbs asked her. She was the only one he showed his soft side to and he knew that when she acted that way, something was wrong.

"Nothing," Abby replied taking the CafPow and throwing it straight into the black garbage can beside the table. Gibbs looked at her for a moment before connecting the dots. She was upset with him.

Gibbs titled his head mulling over his options; a. get it out of Abby to tell him what it is that he did. B. Leave her alone to stew. He knew enough to know that leaving women to stew wasn't the best idea. So it left him with option A.

"This about last night, Abs?"

"Oh, you mean you and the Wicked Step Mother having dinner in front of Mommy?!" Abby asked exploding at him. "I'm disappointed in you Gibbs. You haven't even called her to ask her how she was after the investigation."

Gibbs stayed silent letting Abby get her frustrations out. Knowing that she would have valid yet irrational points as her reasons.

"Then you went to our table and treated her like she was a suspect! I thought more of you Gibbs! How could you do that to Jenny? I thought you LOVED her!"

"Are you done, Abs?" Gibbs asked her seeing her trying to calm herself down. Abby nodded her head slowly thinking about what else she wanted to say, because last night, after Gen had left the team with Ducky, there was so much that she was ranting about.

"I think so."

Gibbs sighed; it was his turn to defend himself now. "Genvieve Staton is not Jennifer Shepard, Abby. Your DNA test may say that she is, but she isn't. She's a completely different person. Hollis makes me happy."

With that Gibbs walked out of the lab letting Abby think about what he had just told her. Yes, she was and would still be his favorite but that didn't mean he couldn't set her straight. As far as he was concerned, Jennifer Shepard has long been dead. Genvieve Staton was another person in the same body. They weren't one in the same.

A few minutes after Gibbs had left her alone, Abby went to her computer and signed in to her email account composing a new email sending it to McGee, Tony and Ziva. She didn't want Ducky to be included incase it all backfired on them. There, stated that they should all meet in her lab when they get a break and to make sure not to tell Gibbs but go with each other. She was going to give them a new case, a 'cold case.' A case that had to do something about getting rid of Retired Colonel Hollis Mann and getting Genvieve Staton back into Gibbs' life.

As soon as they solved the case and Gibbs had ordered them to finish their paperwork while he went out to get coffee, Tony leaned back writing something on a piece of paper and threw it at McGee's head.

"Hey!" McGee responded looking up from the computer screen and to the paper that Tony had thrown his way. He sent Tony a glare but Tony just replied with an opening motion. He repeated it at least two more times until McGee figured out what he was trying to say.

Ziva looked at the boys wanting to be in on what they were doing and she saw the both of them stand from their desks and walk to the elevator. Ziva got out of her seat and walked to them, catching up immediately knowing where they were going. She got a mysterious email from Abby as well and since she had read it, she hadn't been able to stop herself from being curious about it.

They all got into the elevator silently and swiftly all itching to get into Abby's lab. As soon as the elevator opened, the three jumped out and walked into 'Labby'.

"Hi guys!" Abby greeted them giving them a standard NCIS case folder. They all took it trying to open it before Abby had exclaimed not to open it until she has given one to everyone. Once that was done, Abby stepped up in front of them saying that they could open it now. They were greeted by Hollis Mann's file and picture.

"Abby, what is this?" McGee questioned flipping to the next page and seeing Gibbs' file then Jennifer Shepard's. He had a bad feeling about what it was, mainly because it would more likely cause trouble.

"This," Abby said motioning to her folder. "Is the new case that we're gonna focus on."

"These are Colonel Mann, Jenny and Gibbs' files, Abby," Ziva replied with a confused look on her face.

"Exactly!" Abby replied excitedly.

"I'm not following, Abs," Tony replied. "Why them? I thought you said it was gonna be a cool cold case."

"It is! We all thought that the Wicked Step Mother was out of the picture but now she's back," Abby explained to them. "Now, we need to find a way that she gets out, and stays out this time."

"Oh no," McGee said shaking his head. "I'm not doing this Abby."

"Come on, McChicken," Tony replied looking over Gibbs' file. It was something he had thought didn't even really exist. Like Big Foot, it was suppose to be there but it has yet to really be seen. "Are you siding with the Evil Step Mother?"

"Well…"

"McGee!" Abby said punching him. "Are you two in?"

"Yes," Ziva answered nodding her head. "What does Jenny have to do with this though, Abby?"

"Jenny's our secret weapon. After all, Mommy and Daddy can't stay away from each other for long… with the help of the kids that is."

"This is so like Parent Trap… the 1998 version with Lindsay Lohan and…"

"Tony!" Ziva and Abby yelled at him.

"What? It is! We're plotting to get mom and Dad back together after years of separation complete with an evil bitch in the way."

"We can't do anything if you guys aren't in you know," Abby reminded them. "So you have to be in. Are you in?"

"We're in Abby," Tony said nodding his head. McGee opened his mouth but all three of them glared at him. He sighed.

"I guess I'm in too," McGee said shaking his head.

"Yay!" Abby squealed engaging all of them in a choking group hug.
