Chapter One

"OMG! Tim is going to kill me! I think... Maybe... Maybe not... Not if he doesn't find out he won't. That's it! He can't find out. He won't find out. He's not due back from conference till tomorrow. How WOULD he find out?. Abby muttered to herself… .

"Find out what Abs"? Gibbs asked quietly into her left ear. Abby nearly jumped through the ceiling knocking her new cafpow that Gibbs had set down, flying across the room.

"Oh nothing , just a surprise", (or a shock she thought to herself if he ever did find out) Abby replied as she busied herself cleaning up the mess."Nothing to worry about" she mumbled quickly avoiding looking Gibbs in the eye.

Something was off here Gibbs was sure of it but he decided to let it go for now.

" Whada ya have for me Abs?" he queried, both of them knowing that he'd let her off the hook. For now.

"Not much yet, should be another half an hour at least and I still have to lift the finger prints from the laptop and…".Abby started to explain but Gibbs cut her off.

"I'll send McGee down to help as soon as he gets back". Abby nearly swallowed her tongue.

"You mean tomorrow ?" she asked with a slight amount of hope/desperation creeping into her voice.

"In about an hour….conference was cancelled."….

Abby didn't see the smirk on Gibbs face as he entered the lift but he sure saw the look of panic that crossed her face. Oh yeah. He didn't know exactly what this was about but he knew two things. She had done something she shouldn't have and it involved McGee. Abby's goose was cooked. Whatever she was trying to pull the wool over McGee's eyes about , she wasn't going to get away with it now.

As the doors closed on the elevator Abby plopped down in a chair and covered her face with her hands. Think think THINK but all she could think about was the last conversation she'd had with Tim last night….

" A SPEEDING ticket Abby! AND you ran a stop light! While talking on your CELL PHONE!" Tim had demanded incredulously. "What were you thinking?"

"Umm … not a lot actually. I was singing along to the radio when my cell rang so I answered it. Honestly Tim, I was just going to tell Ziva that I couldn't possibly talk to her at that moment because it would be completely irresponsible to talk on a cell while driving my boyfriend's very expensive Porsche, when I dropped my cafpow. It was spilling everywhere Tim so I bent over to get it and I didn't notice that my foot had pressed harder on the gas and that's when I also didn't notice that I was coming up to a stop light".She took a quick breath, "But it was ok Timmy because there was hardly any cars on the road that early in the morning…. Except for the police car". Abby gave him her best puppy dog face and he almost caved.

"Abby that is all so wrong in so many ways that I don't have time to explain right now. Not to mention that you probably wouldn't have even told me if I hadn't of found them myself. But I'm telling you this. You are NOT to drive that Porsche while I'm away! If you have any trouble with the hearse, you have my credit card. Take as many taxi's as you need to but DO NOT drive the Porsche! You obviously have trouble driving it at a safe speed so it's best if you stay out of it until we have a chance to talk about safe driving".

Tim kissed Abby and walked towards the door, Tony should be outside by now to pick him up and drive him to the airport. Just before he left he turned. Abby was pouting with her arms crossed across her chest. She looked adorable.

"I love you Abby, I just want to keep you safe but don't test me on this. You won't like what happens". And then he was gone.

Abby opened her backpack and got out the speeding ticket from this morning. She was dead. It's a good thing she still kept the coffin for the spare room. She was going to need it.
