When Ziva got in the van and Gibbs started to drive, it was quiet. No one knew what to say. What they had just witnessed was too unbelievable. But they were all certainly thinking the exact same thing: What the ever-loving hell was going on?
Ziva was the first to talk. "What do we know so far? A psycho path manager tries to kill McGee then goes after me and then her dogs try to eat us. Tony, I am starting to think we are trapped in one of your favorite horror films."
Tony's brain started clicking and he shouted, "A virus!"
Gibbs said, "DiNozzo. If I have to make Ziva slap you upside the head, I will."
Tony shook his head and said, "No boss. Hear me out. You remember that news cast yesterday? About them finding a crashed airplane in a main water source in Washington?"
Gibbs thought about this for a second, "Yes, but I still think there's some other explanation than zombies, Tony."
Ziva looked at Gibbs and said, "Have you ever seen a dog go out into open sunlight and back away whimpering like that?"
Gibbs barely missed a pedestrian walking across the street he was driving so fast. "Maybe they have sensitive skin. My old dog used to do that."
Ziva shook her head, "Then have you ever seen a dog actually steam from their own body? I am telling you Gibbs, something is not right about this."
Tim was just sitting in the back, staring blankly at the three of them. After being almost eaten by a manager and her dogs he would believe anything right now. If he thought there was some other possibility he would speak up. He would take any other suggestion to disprove a virus none-the-less a zombie virus. But there seemed to be no other explanation. “I could believe just about anything right now.”
Gibbs sighed, "How about we just get the DNA from the manager and that dog hair. We'll see what Ducky has to say about it."
Abby’s Lab…..
Abby was sitting patiently in her lab waiting and watching the time tick on the clock. "Hmm. Gibbs's Gibzometer must be not working to day."
When she heard the ding of the elevator she was happy to see Tim enter her lab. She jumped from her computer and stopped a few feet from him. Something was not right. She noticed that he didn’t look normal. He looked pale and his eyes were drifting like he was in a dreamlike state. She was immediately worried.
"McGee, what's wrong?"
Tim, awoken from his trance, looked deep into Abby's eyes and shook his head slowly.
Abby immediately got serious and scared, "Who?"
Tim shook his head more vigorously and said, "No Abby. No one's dead, we're all fine."
Abby sighed in relief. "Then what's wrong. Tell me."
Tim looked away and sat down at her front desk. He beckoned her to sit down beside him and she did.
He told her everything that happened and Abby couldn't control her mouth from dropping. She just stared at Tim when he finished. The first thing that came out of her mouth was, "Are you ok?"
Tim smiled. Out of all the questions she could have asked, her attention was all on him. He nodded his head and said, "I'm just a little confused and scared. It's not every day a woman attempts to bite me."
Abby smiled and said, "Well, bite you in the hurtful way…” She looked up slyly and they both laughed.
Tim stared at her. They were finally started to have a relationship and a zombie virus was spreading through Washington. He let out a deep sigh and Abby looked at him questioningly, “What’s wrong?” Tim gave a fake smile and answered, “Nothing.” Abby was not convinced that he was telling the truth but shrugged it off. Abby went over to her evidence table and asked, "So what does Gibbs want us to do?"
