Germane
Abby had gathered everyone together. Well dragged and ordered and whatever else needed to be done to get them to show up.
“Why are we here, Abby?” Gibbs spoke up impatiently. He wanted to go back to working on his boat.
“You’re here because I need your help. Well not really me, but habitat for humanity.” Abby explained.
“Are you sure you want us to help? You remember what I did to Gibbs’ kitchen, right?” Tony interrupted.
“Let’s keep this germane.” Ducky encouraged, “Abby go on. What do you need?”
“Habitat for humanity is fixing a house this weekend, but it’s like the perfect storm. Of the 20 people that had planned to be there to help 15 of them unexpectedly had things come up that prevented them from being there. I’m hoping you guys would be willing to pitch in and help in the place of some of them. Bring any of your friends that you want. We really need to get this done in a day for the family who lives there. They can’t afford to miss work for any reason.”
“Take a breath, Abby.” Ducky warned.
“Of course, we’ll come, Abby.” Gibbs agreed for everyone.
