After the call from Gibbs Abby hurried to his hotel room and collected some clothes as requested. She didn't question Gibbs on what he had done. She too excited to go back to the New York crime lab.

Adam Ross had shown her around the day before and Abby was more than amazed by the facilities it had. She really needed to have a word with the Director about Major Mass Spec and Captain Comparison Microscope. But for now she enjoyed the fact that she got to play around with the latest equipment.

"Hey Adam!" She greeted as she walked in to him. Nothing.

"Adam!" She yelled. Again nothing.

She approached him and pulled the earplug out of his ear. Adam swiftly reacted.

"Abby, don't sneak up on people like that!" He whimpered shyly.

"Sorry, am I that scary?" Abby informed.

"Not at all, just special." Adam stared at her dog collar.

"Everybody's special Adam, what's on that Ipod?" Abby asked curiously.

"Android Lust." Adam look down at his Ipod.

"Really?" Abby grinned happily cause some liked the same music. "Let me listen in." She reached for the Ipod.

"Android Lust presents a blend of electronic rock that is challenging, engaging, and fiercely emotional." Adam shyly wanted to let Abby know about his knowledge of music.

"Great Ipod. It's a necessity." She complimented.

"Necessity, the mother of invention." Adam explained as he went back to the evidence. "I suspect the inventors of Super Glue never imagined that when heated up and applied to surfaces in gaseous forms, its bonding capabilities would enable us to obtain fingerprints from a human leg." Adam snickered.

"I like that commercial where the guy puts Super Glue on his hardhat and then glued his head to the beam and hung there. I tried that with my little brother." Abby laughed.

"I sense this doesn't have a storybook ending." Adam joked.

"It does if you like your stories to end with bald seven year olds. He still gets mad when I call him Kojak." Abby got rewarded the cutest smile from Adam. An 'Uh-hum' from the door reminded them where they were.

"How long to get results on that fingerprint?" Mac asked Adam as he walked in?

"Well, I'm flying solo here, so-"

"Does it go any faster if you had an assistant?" Mac invited.

Definitely." Adam smiled.

"Okay, you got the job, Abby." Mac informed.

As he wanted to leave he bumped in to a soggy Gibbs and Jordan.

"Do I even wanna know?" Mac asked dryly.

"You'd better." Gibbs said as he passed Mac.

"Gibbs!" Abby yelled. "What happened? You're both wet to the bone."

Abby gave Jordan a big crushing hug. "Abby…" Jordan breathed.

"Oh sorry Jordan." Abby let go of Jordan and squinted at Gibbs.

"I lost." Jordan looked at Mac.

"You pulled straws." Mac finished.

"Yeah, but why are you so soaked, Gibbs?" Abby questioned.

Gibbs didn't answer that one. "Clothes Abbs!"

"Oh, right clothes." Abby ran off to get her coffin bag with Gibbs' spare clothes.

"So any other body parts show up?" Mac asked looking at the bag Jordan was carrying.

"Not likely, all we found was this boot." Jordan showed Mac the collected item.

"Adam, take the boot and get to work." Mac was angry. Gibbs observed the scene.

"Don't tell me you pulled that stunt again?" Mac shot.

"Well, he pulled rank, Mac, and he cheated." Jordan snapped.

"Jordan, you shouldn't have been in that water in the first place." Mac reminded her angry.

"Don't you-"

"Hey!" Gibbs interrupted Jordan having enough of the bickering. Both Mac and Jordan faced Gibbs. "Jordan, go and take that shower." Gibbs ordered. "Now, Jordan."

Jordan watched Mac who had calmed down. "Go on." Mac touched his brows and looked up to Jordan. Angry she left for the locker room.

"You didn't have to be that harsh." Gibbs told Mac.

"Yeah, I know, but she needs to grow up." Mac excused himself.

"Don't you think she is?" Gibbs asked. "She's one hell of a CSI; perspective, committed. If it wasn't for Jordan, we would never have found that boot." Gibbs explained. "We marked the spot where the footprint was." Gibbs remembered.

"I'll send Sheldon and Adam." Mac reached out for his phone. "You better get a shower as well." Mac grinned as he looked at a still soaked Gibbs. "And don't cheat on any of my CSI's again. They are good." Mac laughed as Gibbs left for the locker room.
