Tim was tired. Abby was tired. Ziva was tired.
Somehow they all ended up lying up against a huge boulder. Abby looked over at Tim and slowly ran her fingers through his hair. He smiled and looked back at her.
“I have some luck, don’t I? You finally realize that you still have feelings for me and the world ends.” McGee shook his head. Abby looked at him sideways and then laid her hand on his.
Abby slyly looked at him, “Then doesn’t that mean we should, I don’t know, seize the moment?” Her hand moved to his leg.
“Trust me. When the team is preoccupied with something that leaves us alone for an hour or so I will not even hesitate.”
Abby came closer and looked deep in his eyes, “If only I had gotten over my issues sooner. I always knew there was something special between us but… I just was so scared to let myself-“
“It’s okay Abby. That just gives us one more reason to survive this… together.” Abby nodded.
Tim made sure not to fall asleep. He looked to the end of the boulder where Ziva was. She looked to be asleep but McGee was pretty sure that her Ziva-senses were still going full kick-ass mode.
Abby had curled up to him while she was sleeping. He didn’t know if she knew she was this close to him.
Abby scared him when she mumbled sleepily, "Can you promise me one thing?"
He nodded, "Maybe."
Abby smiled and asked, "Will you promise me that if we get out of this nightmare that you will get me the first ‘Caf Pow!’ you lay your eyes on?"
McGee smiled down at her, “I think you would kill me if I didn’t.”
She laughed. “Damn, straight.”
He lifted her head up and their lips met.
"Is there any scenario where you guys won't try and do the naked horizontal tango?"
Gibbs, despite the father feeling in his gut, smiled at the two. If he had to pick any man for Abby to have, Tim would be high, if not, the first one on that list.
They both came apart and looked at Tony with disgusted looks.
No one saw Jimmy bringing up the rear so everyone accepted the inevitable.
Abby frowned and asked timidly, "Did you find Jimmy?"
Tony looked at her confused and then looked behind him and then turned in a full circle. "Well, he was right behind us a second ago."
Then a big huge scream came behind them. And everyone knew that the unique toned scream was Jimmy's.
Ziva suddenly got up, ready for action and to kick some crazy zombie thing's ass. Gibbs, Tony, and Ziva were all about to go back into where the car rubble was but then they were startled when Jimmy came plowing through the pathway like a mad cow.
He finally stopped when he saw the team and turned to Tony and pointed straight at him. "You!"
Tony was startled at the fierce aggression in Jimmy's voice. "What did I do?"
"What do you mean 'What did I do'. You ran off and left me behind!"
"We thought something was following us! You should have kept up. And forget that. We were apparently right. Why the hell were you screaming like a little girl just a minute ago?"
Then they saw three of them approaching them. They could tell they didn't look like normal people or survivors. Then again, the blood soaked clothes probably gave their disguise away.
