"Did you run the prints?" Gibbs asked Abby in his usual firm way. "Yep." Suddenly there was a beep. "And there Ari's?" Abby said shocked. The words rang into her head and seeped into her mind: The same gun was used to kill Kate.

"Thanks for the update, Abbs," Gibbs was holding up a Caf-Pow. Abby just stared at it. "Thanks, Gibbs!"She said in a fake perky tone. She took a sip and started to process more evedence.

She looked over her shoulder. Wait, could it be Kate? She wasn't sure who the lady in the black dress and dog coller was. "can I help u?" abby asked shakily.

"Don't you recognize me?" Suddenly Abby knew. "KATE!" she screamed and ran to hug her. At the lat minute Kate stopped her and said" abby, I am your imagination,""oh," she felt stupid. "I miss you,"

"I know,"
"Is it fun being dead?"
"Not really, not since Ducky cracked my head open and pulled the bullet out,"
"Ha, things haven't been the same,"
"I know, but im not dead, Eli is dead to Ziva, but I am not dead to you,"
"I want you back!"she said running to her again hugging her eyes closed.
When she opened them she was hugging Ziva.
"Ziva I miss Kate!"
"I know abby, I know."
