The first thing she did after entering the squad room was hug her friends.
After the hugging and crying session with Tobias the previous night there wasn't a point in denying the comfort they all got out of those little hugs.
-
"Any news?"
She didn't need to hear an answer. The look on Tony's face showed her enough.
"We checked the background of the firm, the owner died about a month ago." Tony stopped and looked towards Tim, who continued.
"It appears that the FBI had the owner under surveillance for a week before he had a car accident."
-
Abby looked from on to the other. "Did you call Fornell?"
Ziva answered. "They told us he wasn't in for the last two days, private business."
Abby shared a glance with Ducky.
-
Perhaps calling in some favours. Abby thought.
Watching Abby's back and working a private case. Ducky thought.
-
"I'll want to re-check the evidence; I'm down in my lab."
Without further ado Abby turned around and left her friends alone in the bull pen.
-
"She seems a bit more good-tempered today." Ziva said while looking at the ME.
"She slept some hours on my couch." Ducky said while walking towards the elevator himself.
"I'll go and re-examine the bodies down in the morgue maybe I missed something that can help us find the man who is behind the murder and the kidnapping."
"That is a good idea." Tony said while walking back behind his desk.
-
An hour had past in which the team had continued to dig around in the past of the dead poor bastards on the cold metal slaps downstairs and the former owner of the factory were Gibbs was shot.
"We are missing something, they apparently think we know something otherwise they wouldn't have tried to weaken us by getting our boss."
Tony said frustrated about the lack of progress in their case.
He got to his feet, "I'm going for a coffee." He looked from Ziva to Tim. "The usual?"
Both nodded their agreement and with that Tony left them behind.
-
15 minutes later he re-entered the squad-room with a paper-tray in his hand.
On it was the usual tea for his girlfriend, McGee's current standard 'white coffee'.
A caf!pow for Abs a tea for Ducky and his normal coffee with milk and a shot of hazelnut.
While he was handing everyone their drinks the mail delivery boy stopped in front of Tony's desk.
"Special agent DiNozzo there is a special parcel delivery for you."
-
His hand was still around the upper part of Ziva's tea cup when he looked to the young man.
Even though Ziva had her hand around the bottom part of the paper cup he didn't let go.
Not before he finally found his mouth again.
"How was it delivered?" Tony asked while walking towards the man.
"Someone gave it to the security guard at the checkpoint 25 minutes ago, it went through the entire necessary tests before they handed it me to bring it up here."
"Thank you, please put it on my desk."
The clerk did as told and left them alone.
