Gibbs had fallen asleep in the chair around one, but had woken again at four with a crick in his neck and a stiff back. Getting up to stretch he caught sight of Abby. Some time when he'd been asleep she had changed into a pair of black cotton pyjamas with, even at this hour of dim light, violently pink skull-and-cross-bones motifs printed on them. Smiling Gibbs worked the crick out of his neck, and took the PDA from her hands. Looking at it he saw she'd fallen asleep whilst writing an e-mail. Smiling he put it on the small cupboard by the side of he bed.

"Morning." She was as sunny in the morning light as when she was when shut up in the dimness of her lab.

The PDA beeped. Gibbs handed it to Abby who quickly navigated the screen and opened an e-mail from McGee.

"Hey Gibbs, McGee says that the FBI is sniffing round the computer system. Oh, and Fornell has just turned up, like the boomerang he is." Abby nodded towards the doorway.

"Good morning Abigail. Jethro." Fornell was wearing his trench coat as usual and in his right hand was a black teddy. He handed it to Abby, who looked at it with suspicion.

"Don't worry, it won't explode the moment I leave the room. At least I didn't rig it up to."

"Why are you here?"

"Well I don't quite know myself but something tells me that there's something going on. I was just told to come, and I didn't know about the snooping around your system, honestly."

"Do you believe that?" The question cut Fornell out of the conversation, and then it was taken out of the audible range completely when Abby signed something to Gibbs, making him laugh.

"Can you two leave the forbidden love story until I go, please? Thank you. You're right; I did know that they would sneak around it, but not when." Fornell was still in the room.

"Fine, I'll let it go this once, but if you lot do it again you're mine." Gibbs pointed at the door, a sign that there was no more to be said.

Just as Fornell was about to go out of the door Abby called out to him, "You know Fornell, love isn't forbidden if you ignore the rules." He left with a smile, closing the door as he went.
