Abby is finally in the story :D yay. I don't know if everybody is totally out of character. I really like this chapter :P


The team and Kate were on there way to Abby's lab. Everybody except Kate had a big smile on their face, her facial expression was insecure and she was tapping her foot against the elevator-floor.

"Relax Kate, she will be happy to see you," Gibbs said smiling at her. She gave him a weak smile back and started chewing on her bottom lip. Neither of the team members had ever seen Kate so nervous before.

"I don't know Gibbs I left her, she won't take that so easily," Kate said.

"You left us to but we don't care now that you are back," Tony said confused.

"I am glad you see it that way Tony, but Abby's emotions and mind works a little bit diffrent than yours," Kate said. Tony shrugged not grasping what could make it diffrent, he had missed Kate like crazy and he knew that McGee and Gibbs had missed her alot too. The elevator stopped and the doors opened. Kate stood frozen in the doors.

"Why didn't you have this much trouble meeting us," Tony asked feeling a bit jealous over the obvious tension Kate felt over this meeting.

"I couldn't go inside for half an hour when I arrived, I was actually here way earlier then Tyler," Kate said, she pulled herself together and stepped out of the elevator and walked over to Abby's lab. Inside was Abby leaning over the computer, typing with her music on the highest volume. Abby's sixt sense of knowing when somebody was in the lab got her to turn around.

Nobody moved, Kate was standing with the team behind her, she was waiting for Abby to move. The goth stood extremly still but she had tears streaming down her face, messing up her make-up.

"Hello Abby," Kate said quietly. Abby walked slowly over to her. She stopped right infront of her best friend, who had been dead for two years.

"SMACK." The team gasped when Abby slapped Kate, Kate just turned her face back and stared into the eyes of her best-friend knowing that she had deserved that. Both women were crying. Then Kate embraced Abby who hugged her back, they stooded there until Abby stopped crying, wiped her eyes and gave Kate a faint smile.

"I have missed you so much," Abby said.

"I've missed you too, Abs." They hugged again, this time without crying.

"You've ruined your make-up," Kate said wiping the trails of black make-up from her best-friends cheeks. Abby laughed.

"I don't really care I can fix that later, now you have to tell me how you faked your death," Abby said turning back into her normal self with a smile on her face.

"I promise I will tell you, but I have to go and see Ducky first," Kate said. "Will you come with me?"

"Yes of course I will," Abby said and threw her arm around Kate's shoulders.

"So let's go see how the good doctor takes your return, Kate," Ziva said smiling. Abby looked at Ziva.

"You two know eachother?" she asked confused. The both other women nodded.

"I'll tell you later, Abby, I have to tell Ducky that he never actually performed my autopsy," Kate said with a small smile.
