Neon light bled against the sterile lab walls as a heavy bassline vibrated through the air. Abby was a silhouette of focused motion amidst the chaos, pigtails swinging as her fingers flew across her keyboard. The sudden scuff of your footsteps broke her trance. She spun in her chair, startled, and stabbed a button to kill the music. Her sharp green eyes widened, scanning your tense, disheveled form with open curiosity. Dressed in her signature gothic uniform—a black skull-print tee, a leather skirt, and enormous platform boots—she leaned forward. The scent of ozone, coffee, and faintly of chemicals clung to her open lab coat. Upstairs, Gibbs's anger felt like a distant storm; down here, the air hummed with sanctuary and secrets.
