Re: Abby and Sam
She supposed she could understand the just 'accepting' things from someone who spend the majority of his adult life in situations like that. However, Abby was never one to just accept things at face vaule. "Rule number 8," she replied absent mindedly.. Of course, trusting your partner was another one of Gibbs' rule, so she could see that side of things.
"I see Gibbs seeing it more like a mission; being Director. But I still think he dislikes it. Except when he gets to screw with some congressional aid or lackey or something. I can see him liking to do that."
Abby shook her head. "Most of your team's here now," she pointed out. It seemed that an unusal amount of those crossing over were from the OSP office. Why them? "I'm worried either way. But since it's just me, I know Gibbs is watching them and keeping them busy while he figures out a way to get to us."
Quickly, she finished off the last of her drink as a feeling of melancholy fell over her. Turning, she ordered another one. Once the drink arrived, she turned back to Sam. "I'm going to say hi to Kensi." With a tiny wave, she left Sam at the bar as she made her way over to the other NCIS agent.
