You guys, I am sooooooo nice, don't you think? Two updates in one day. So keep that in mind when you want to strangle me at the end of this chapter *g* Oh and the rating goes up, I think. Remember I love Reviews so keep them coming. thanks!


He just had to get out of there. So much for pretending nothing was up. But when he heard the emotion in her voice his first reaction as to turn around and just kiss the pain away. He couldn't let that happen, so the only other choice as fleeing.

Now standing in the unmoving elevator, slowly calming down, he could have head-slapped himself. He couldn't believe he had done that to her twice in one day.


She couldn't believe it. She had counted on him to at least try to be friendly at work. For him to have his usual control. Something was definitely wrong and after him fleeing from her again she didn't think it was that one cursed look anymore. Could it be that somehow he returned the feelings?

"Nah" she said to no one in particular.

"Everything ok Abby?" she jumped at McGee's voice.

"Damn, is everybody out to bring me to an early grave today?"

She knew snapping at McGee wouldn't bring her closer to solving the mystery that was Gibbs, but it sure as hell felt good to let it out.

"Can't anyone announce themselves anymore? Preferably without startling me half to death?"

"Sorry Abby" he replied meekly. "You and Gibbs got out of bed with the wrong foot, together?"

"Out!" she growled under her breath, snapping entirely in that moment. The look she gave him made one thing clear to McGee, if he wanted to leave the lab alive, he had to run. Fast. And he did.


When McGee got to his desk he looked as if he had seen a Ghost. His heart beating fast and soaked in sweat because he had run up the stairs he looked utterly shocked.

"Probie, you all right?" Tony asked. They all had a long day behind them with Gibbs breathing down their necks and making impossible demands. And they didn't even have a case!

"Abby just threw me out of the lab." He whispered looking around to see if Gibbs was close. Not seeing him he elaborated.

"After she snapped at me I may have mentioned Gibbs … she totally lost it. What's going on Tony? "

"I wish I knew Probie." Tony answered looking confused. Even Ziva couldn't make sense of it, unless…

"Do you think Abby and Gibbs…"

In that moment Gibbs came down the stairs, looking really frightening, even to Ziva, and she shut her mount instantly. All tree immediately tried to look really busy.


Time just crawled slowly by for both Gibbs and Abby, but the rest of the team positively thought the day would never end. Eventually it did tough and they got out of the Navy Yard dreading the Friday to come and yearning for the weekend.

After his team left , Gibbs packed his things and went to the elevator. When the doors opened he stood eye to eye with a furious looking Abby. And as they stared at each other something snapped in Gibbs.

Before Abby could say a word she felt herself pressed against the inner wall of the elevator his lips colliding with hers. Gasping, she felt herself kiss him back instantly with as much urgency, gripping into his clothes for support.

Their tongues start a fierce battle with each other as he pulls her even closer until she melts against him, feeling just how turned on he is.

The dinging sound of the elevator as it reaches a floor lets them jump apart just in time as the doors open and Director Vance steppes into sight.

"Gibbs? Are you here to see me? Mrs. Scuito?"

Looking from one to the other they remind him a little of doe's in the headlight.
