Abby: I was watching a documentary which is what I do when I couldn't sleep, which is like every night…


"Not sleeping…again?"

Abby was buzzing from her most recent Caf Pow and had to think for a minute. "Do you download every word I say?"

"I have a filter."

"So you pick up words like…sleep…boyfriend…love…stuff like that?"

"Among others."

"What others?"

His glare brought her focus back to his original reason for coming down there.

She shrugged slowly. "Its no big deal…I'm learning a ton. The other night I watched a documentary on hum back whales…did you know that during mating season, groups of two to twenty male whales fight over one female? Interesting huh?"

"Not really."

"Um, seriously?"

His glare intensified a bit.

"Okay okay…look, I tried some sleeping pills, going decaf…remember?"

"I remember."

"It didn't work."

"I've noticed." He examined her. "What can I do?"

"Singing me a lullaby always worked when I was little?"

"Not really my area."

"Then I can stick to the documentaries…tonight is on wolves."

He didn't smile. "Cant be good for ya Abs."

"Potato, Potatoe." She gauged his epxression. "Building a boat…learning about hump back whales…you're not exactly a poster boy for a full night's sleep."

"So this is about me now?"

"If the shoe fits." She smiled at him, hoping to ease the sudden tension that arose.

"So since I don't sleep…you don't have to?"

"You said it, not me." She hugged him quickly and retreated to her desk to get her things. "If you want to take a break from the wood working insomnia…tonight's episode is supposed to be ground breaking."

He followed her into the elevator and thought for a moment. "Did you have a favorite?"

"Favorite?" She thought for a second before realizing what he'd meant. "Twinkle little star…I know, corny."

"No," Gibbs shook his head. "I like that one too."

"Enough to sing it to me tonight?"

He let his glare speak for itself and she had to smile.

"Wolves it is then…"
