Title: Slumber Party (Cont)
Authors: Mindy, Sammie, Pup, Sundance..did I forget anyone?
A/N: Sorry to take so long to update peeps. It's been too hot out here to sit down at a computer. I hope this is worth the wait and gives a few laughs. M.

        Are you in charge of this.? Gibbs demanded of Mindy as she stepped forward.
        Mindy looked to Sammie and the other authors: Right now?I guess so.
        Well, he huffed, towering over her: Might I remind you that WE-- he indicated his team: are all professional, trained NCIS agents.
        Yeah? DC answered, standing just behind her: So?
        So why the hell are we taking YOUR lead on this? he shouted gruffly.
        Mindy nodded sagely: Because its OUR fic.
        See how that works? Sundance added glibly, positioning herself next to DC.
        We get to do KTFan smiled, looking Tony over lasciviously: whatever we want.
        I feel so used, Tony told his boss lowly.
        Gibbs grimaced: What exactly is our objective here?
        Very simple, responded Pup: Save the day.
        Expose the conspiracy, added Sammie.
        And take out the dff, finished luvr, patting the weapon at her hip.
        Kate whispered to Tony: Whos dff?
        Tony rolled his eyes: You dont want to know.
        Will everybody stop telling me that! she muttered, exasperated.
        Dont you think a plan would be good? Gibbs asked Mindy impatiently.
        Sammie shrugged: We just usually play it by ear.
        Okay! announced flatulanthippo, standing up from the steering wheel: Were here!
The entire crew peered out at the looming faade of the NCIS building they knew so well. On the stairs out the front were Wahoo, Bat and a few desperate protesters with signs and voices defending the dff.
        WHO IS, Kate asked: dff?
        Gibbs looked at her darkly: A very bad idea.
        Make that, added DC morbidly: a very, very, VERY BAD idea.
        But Ive got a good one, Mindy spoke up, then turned to her team. Chickbay, she took her by the shoulders and gave her a long look: I think you know.. what you have to do.
Chickbay nodded resolutely. She adjusted her hospital gown so that it fell off one shoulder, then gave a heroic wave to her friends.
        Open the door, Hippo, she commanded, standing straight and tall at the exit. The doors swished open and Chickbay, walked bravely out, her head held high.
        We have lift-off, Nikki nodded quietly as they all watched Chickbay approach Bat, his eyes bugging obscenely out of his head. It wasnt long before they were slipping behind some low bushes and out of sight.
        Okay-- Sundance mused: now for the others.
        McGee, summoned Sammie.
McGee stepped forward expectantly.
        Go make some fans happy, she said and pushed him out the door.
        Boss? asked McGee hesitantly.
        Gibbs shrugged: Sign whatever youve gotta, McGee. We need to get in there.
        Yes Boss, he replied with a nod and headed towards the screaming few.
        Look!!! cried one red-faced fan: its MCGEE!!!
        Wooo-hooo! cried Wahoo as they all swarmed about the confused agent: Can I have your autograph?!
        Look-- noted likina, pointing to the other side of the building where a car had pulled into the Directors parking space: Its the dff.
        Whats with her windows? Kate asked worriedly.
        Er. DC hummed: You dont want to know.
        Kate grimaced and held up a finger: Hey--!
        No, DC shook her head seriously: You REALLY dont.
        Whats with her hair? Sundance muttered, screwing up her nose.
        And those boots? Pup added disgustedly, eyeing the knee-high leather boots.
        The woman is a menace, Mindy murmured then slapped Gibbs on the back of his head: Youre an idiot.
        Hey! he protested while Kate and Tony exchanged smug looks.
        Right, Pup announced: Shes heading for DC beans.
Everyone turned to 4 and Shadowdancer.
        Redheads said Mindy: You know your mission.
        Were on it, Boss, 4 replied stoically, then pulled a face, surprised by her own response.
        Well get in. You can count on us, Shadowdancer nodded then promptly dragged 4 off the crowded bus.
        Boss mused Mindy: I love it when they call me boss.
        Right, barked Gibbs, heading for the exit: Lets get this show on the road. We need eyes and ears in that room. Whos with me???
Everyone on the bus put an eager hand in the air (some put two) and all eyes lit up at the prospect of accompanying Gibbs. Even KTFan who wanted to join Tony couldnt help her reaction to his gruff tone and irresistibly authoritative stance.
        You-- Gibbs pointed to Pup: You-- he pointed to likina: And you, he pointed to f-hippo.
        YEEES!! they all exclaimed as the others lowered their hands and heads in disappointment
Only one hand still waved enthusiastically in the air.
        Okay, Gibbs relented, pointing at luvr: And you. Lets go.
The others watched as Gibbs lead his goth-decked crew right past the distracted protestors and into the NCIS building.
        Im so glad I didnt have to choose between Kates team and Gibbs team, Mindy murmured to Sundance.
        Me too, she sighed: Who could make that call?
        "Alrighty! announced Tony, stepping forward and rubbing his hands together. We need to surround that basement with people and set up communication. Whos with me???
One hand shot up into the air. Tonys face fell as his attempt at Bosshood feel flat.
        Okay he muttered dimly, pointing to KTFan: Youre with me.
KTFan glowed and followed Tony off the bus.
        Mindy leaned over to lvr: You better go with. Otherwise they might just end up making out.
        lvr nodded and followed: This is SO like Bete Noir!
        Well, said Kate: Im checking out that womans car.
        Me too, DC giggled.
        Me too, Sundance nodded.
        Me too, Sammie followed.
        Me too, Nik responded.
        Mindy ticked the last name off her list: Okay, I think thats everyone. Oh--! She noticed Chip still gagged at the back of the bus. She strode towards him and cuffed him to the seat: This wont take long, I promise.
Chip nodded, then watched as Mindy jumped off the bus and followed Kate and her crew in the direction of dffs vehicle. He sighed beneath his gag. He had windows just like that on his car. Only the stained glass portrayed the image not of a Silver-Haired Fox but his precious and adored Red-Headed Vixen.

Gibbs strode through the doors of Abbys lab with his chosen ones in tow. Abs! he barked.
        This is so cool! f-hippo exclaimed quietly: Were in Abbys lab!
        Major Mass-Spectrometer! cried luvr, pointing to a big gadget.
        Oh yeah! likina ummed: what were the other ones called??
        Gibbs gave them all a weird look: Somethings wrong.
        Wheres Abby? asked Pup, poking around her desk.
        She should be here Gibbs mused, taking out his cellphone and trying to call her.
        Um Gibbs.you guys. Pup called worriedly: Found something
        What? f-hippo asked, picking up Bert and giving him a good squeeze.
        This, Pup pointed to a picture on the large screen near Abbys desk: It was in her email. She hadnt even logged out.
        Abby would always log out, muttered luvr as they all gathered around the screen: They must have grabbed her before she could.
        Gibbs took an extra step froward, glaring at the message darkly: First Kate. Now Abby. He narrowed his eyes, his fists clenching at his sides: These people are starting to piss me off.
        Someone up there likes you, noted likina quietly: a little too much.
        Is that all it says? Gibbs asked gruffly, turning to Pup.
        Yep, she nodded, scrolling through the email: You got too close she read, squinting at the screen: so now you must die.
Below was a surveillance photo of Abby in Gibbs arms in the elevator, tears on her cheeks and his lips against her hair.
        Theyve got her! Gibbs yelled and headed for the door.
        Who? asked f-hippo, still somewhat distracted by Berts various noises.
        Theyve got her!! he yelled again and stormed out.
        Hes so cute when hes pissed!! sighed luvr as they all followed.

-x-x-x-



        Okay, THIS-- stated Kate, staring at the stained glass windows of Gibbs: is scary.
Sundance, DC, Sammie and Nik circled the car warily.
        I gotta get me one a these, Mindy mused under her breath.
        Who IS this woman?! Kate wondered incredulously.
        You dont want to know, they all chorused.
        Do you hear something? Kate asked all of a sudden.
They all silenced and listened but it was a bit hard with all the protestors screaming over McGee.
        How do you manage to concentrate with such a hottie for a boss? one screamed in the distance.
        Well, I, I stammered McGee uncertainly: I suppose Agent Gibbs is attractiveif you like that sort of thing
        Kate rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the dffs car: I think its coming from the trunk.
        DC pulled out a spanner from her neoprene belt: This might help.
        Sammie pulled out a wrench: Ive got this.
        Sundance pulled out a screwdriver: Ill help.
        Nik pulled out a large knife: Rule number nine
        Mindy picked up a stick from the bushes: This could work.
Kate watched as they all closed in on the trunk, their eyes narrowed and manic, taking to the hapless car with their instruments and becoming increasingly violent.
        Thats for Kill Ari!! exclaimed Sammie, denting the car with her repetitive blows.
        Thats for always making cows eyes at Gibbs!! shouted Sundance, scratching the paintwork with her screwdriver.
        Thats for NOT doing your job!! yelled DC, smashing the taillights with her spanner.
        Thats for being such a wimp!!! Mindy screamed, hitting the roof with her stick.
        AND THATS!!! finished Nik as they all wrecked havoc on the weird little car: for that godawful haircut!!!!!
        Okay, you guys Kate carefully interjected as her friends gradually ceased their reign of terror: thats not really helping whoever might be stuck in her trunk.
The five women turned to her with blazing eyes and red faces and puffed breaths. They stepped aside as Kate stood at the trunk and easily picked the lock. They all peered in as she opened it up and curled up inside, unconscious but alive was a familiar figure.
        So she wasnt drunk at all! exclaimed Sammie, amazed.
        She was kidnapped, Sundance finished.
        DC sighed: Poor Sugcat!

-x-x-x-



Shadowdancer and 4 stood in line behind dff at DC beans, trying to think of a way to catch her attention.
        So, I saw this great movie the other day, Shadowdancer said suddenly, her voice slightly raised.
        Huh? answered 4, then played along: Oh right. What was it?        
        It was called Freaky Friday Dancer continued.
        Yeah, shrugged 4 lazily: I dont like Lindsay Lohan.
        Right, nodded Dancer, nudging her side: But it had this guy in it.
        Ooooohhhh, 4 nodded knowingly: the older dude, yeah? Eh, Im not into older men.
        Wait til you see THIS older man, Dancer hinted naughtily. Hes got silver hair she sighed dreamily: and these amazing blue eyes.hes so tall and strong and confident.. And it looks like the man can really kiss!
        dff whirled around to face the two, but her expression softened when she saw their red hair and audacious green frocks: Sorry, she simpered: couldnt help but overhear. I love that film.
        We love older man, 4 announced convincingly: especially with grey hair.
        Dancer nudged her side again: Silver.
        I mean silver, 4 corrected with a nod: silver hair is really sexy.
        Have you ever heard of dff glanced about and lowered her voice: The Red-Headed League?
        Nooo, 4 shook her head.
        Uh huh, shrugged Dancer innocently.
        Heres my card, dff offered: Theres a meeting tonight if youre interested. Call me. And with that she collected her coffee and disappeared.
        Were in, 4 muttered smugly to Dancer.
        Shes goin down, Dancer replied lowly.

-x-x-x-



        Shouldnt we be doing something? hinted lvr, watching KTFan feed Tony cookies and peeled grapes as he reclined in his chair.
        Weve got the floorplan Tony pointed to the plasma screen: Weve done a com check. he added, munching on his cookies as he grinned up at KTFan: Now were just waiting on the boss.
lvr sighed and wandered over to the window as KTFan began singing to Tony in a loving, slightly off-pitch tone.
        McGee is signing some womans butt down there, lvr noted after a moment, unable to take more off KTF's singing.
        Tony rushed to the window, spotting McGee still below entertaining a growing crowd of fans. I SO shoulda had that gig, he muttered.
        Gibbs rushed in with Pup and likina and luvr and f-hippo still carrying Bert. Weve got a situation, he announced.
        Abbys been kidnapped by the Redheaded League, Pup told them.
        Kates desk! exclaimed likina, scurrying over to Kates corner and taking a seat.
        Technically, Tony said lowly as he approached: thats Zivas desk now.
        Itll always be Kates desk, KTFan mumbled sadly as he slumped down in Tonys chair.
        Ive got one too, Gibbs grumbled from his desk and they all gathered around his computer to see his latest email. It was a picture of Abby, bound and gagged, someplace dark and bare and guarded.
        'Brought to you', read f-hippo from beneath the image, punctuating the message with farts: 'by the Underground League of Dedicated Redheads for Jethro Gibbs'.
        'Choose the right women', Tony read: 'Or suffer the consequences'.
        "These women are seriously psychotic, commented likina.
        But they wont get away with this, Pup announced.
        Theyve tangled with the wrong fan base, added lvr.
        Dont worry, Gibbs, luvr patted his back: Were with you on this.
        I feel so much better, Gibbs commented dryly: Lets get to work.


-x-x-x-

DC, Nikki, Sammie and Mindy lifted Sugcat from the car. Kate leaned down and patted her face a few times.
        Shes seriously out, she commented worriedly.
        Lets put her on the bus, Nik suggested: we cant be distracted from our mission.
        Okay, Mindy nodded: Mind the car, Sundance.
        Sure, Sundance replied, picking up the spanner and giving the car another good whack.
        Hey! Pppssssst! Sundance, called a voice from the bushes.
        Sundance turned: Whos there?
        Its me! returned the voice: Chickbat.
        Oh! Ew!--" Sundance groaned, covering her eyes as her friend emerged from the bushes with her fiance, both disheveled and glowing: "so much more of Bat than I needed to see!
        Mind if we borrow.? wheedled Chickbay lightly stroking the Gibbs stained glass window of dffs car. Bat slapped her hand crossly.
        Go for it, shrugged Sundance, her hand still over her eyes.
Chickbay and Bat jumped in the car and had it hot-wired within seconds. Sundance pulled out a lipstick from her neoprene belt and wrote on the back window: JUST MARRIED!
        Kate returned with Mindy, Nik, DC and Sammie to see the car driving off at great speed: Do I want to know? she asked dubiously.
        I dont think so, Sundance shook her head.
        Needless to say, DC remarked, glancing down the road: dff wont be making any speedy getaways.
        Look, Sammie pointed and all of them turned to see dff walking towards the NCIS building coffee in hand and chatting blithely with her newest best friends-- Shadowdancer and 4. 4 secretly gave them the thumbs up as they breezed inside the building and right past McGee who was signing his autograph to a series of exposed body parts on a series of ecstatic women.
