A/N - For Balou who gave me the idea for the CCTV footage in the elevator. Thanks!
Tony DiNozzo smiled as an email popped into his inbox from his favorite forensic scientist.
"Yes! She did it!" he beamed as he sprang from his chair.
"Probie! How long ago did Gibbs go to MTAC?"
Tim frowned, "Uh…I'd say he's been gone about fifteen minutes Tony, it should be another forty five before he gets back."
"Excellent, I'm going to see Abby, I'll be back before the bossman arrives."
Tim nodded in acknowledgement and stuck his head back to his computer monitor.
Ziva narrowed her eyes, "What is he up to McGee?"
"Two words Ziva, 'plausible denial' you don't know, you can't be blamed."
Tony bounded into the lab to greet the excited Abby.
"Tony! I did it, I managed to hack into the security server and download the entire three hours of footage"
Abby had been spending all of her spare time trying to get hold of the footage from the state of the art closed circuit audio/visual camera which had been installed in the elevator for security purposes. There had been a window of around three hours, from when it had been installed to when Gibbs had found out. After a few raised voices in the Directors Office, the camera had been removed and Gibbs pleased that his 'office' was once more again private.
"Ok, how much have you seen, is he on it?" Tony asked excitedly.
Abby nodded and handed Tony a caff-pow. She grabbed a huge bag of m&m's from the shelf and pulled Tony by the shirt towards the plasma screen on the wall.
"Take a seat in Cinema Chez Abby!"
She and Tony sat down and started to view the footage. Abby skipped forward the stream of NCIS agents until Tony squealed excitedly,
"Wow! There's the autopsy gremlin!"
Abby flicked the remote and the video played as they watched Palmer stand still in the elevator and then as it seemed to move he did too.
"Oh my God! Hasn't Palmer heard that he could go blind doing that!" Tony grimaced,
"Eeww! Tony, I've been in that lift and now he's 'adjusting' himself!"
Tony sniggered, "at least that's all he's doing, ha! Look at his face when Betty from Accounts comes in. He is so much more geeky than McGeek!"
Abby playfully slapped Tony on the arm before she fast forwarded the tape once more scanning for familiar faces from the zooming numbers which entered and exited the elevator. As Ducky entered the elevator, Abby pressed the play button and turned up the volume,
"He's singing!" Tony giggled,
"He's trying to sing Tony, he can't hold a tune any better than Gibbs can hold down a marriage!"
"Ooooh, that was bitchy Abby…rowl!"
Abby grinned, "Yeah but the best is yet to come Tony."
Tony watched closely and then began to laugh hysterically.
"He's air dancing! I wonder who is waltzing partner is supposed to be?"
The tape was fast forwarded once more and Abby paused it and pouted,
"You forgot about the camera didn't you!"
The footage showed Tony standing at the back of the elevator eyeing the back of a beautiful blonde up and down and licking his lips seductively at the blissfully unaware young woman standing in front of him.
"Come on, it's Cinders Cindy the hot chick from data processing, I couldn't pass up the chance."
Abby grinned, "Isn't it true she reported you to Gibbs for hassling her?"
Tony blushed and he looked sheepishly at Abby,
"Uh, yeah, he really whacked my head silly over that simple remark about how I could test her temp…"
"STOP! Tony, too much information."
"Sorry Abbs."
Shoving more m&m's into their mouths, the tape was fast forwarded once more until one part became dim.
"Wait, Abbs, back up, that's gotta be Gibbs, rewind!"
Abby went back to her computer monitor and began tapping furiously on the keyboard,
"I'm going to rewind and then I'll use my imaging baby to sharpen up the image when it's dark, that way we won't miss what Gibbs get's up to in his 'office'. I'll also sharpen up the audio to see if we can hear what he is saying"
Tony's eyes widened as the picture became clearer. In the clip Gibbs stood with his back to the elevator and when Director Shepherd entered it took only a few seconds before he whacked the stop button.
"Abby, can't you clear it up any further?" he moaned.
"Hang on Tony, just a few more seconds…..there we go, that's as good as we can get it."
Abby and Tony sat glued to the screen as they watched Gibbs edge himself closer to Jen. They strained to hear their voices,
"You have something you want to tell me Director?"
"Jethro, stop it, not here. Remember I'm your boss for crying out loud!"
"That's doesn't stop me…..you know."
"Not now Jethro, I mean it. Didn't you get the memo?"
"What memo? The one that say's no flirting in the elevator?"
"No, the one that says that there is a closed circuit camera with both video and audio capability being installed in the elevator"
"You're kidding right!"
The camera caught the raised eyebrow of Director Jennifer Shepherd who stared into the lens. It also caught the angry face of Jethro Gibbs as he whacked the stop button again, lighting up the elevator before taking up position against the back wall.
Abby paused the tape.
"That was awesome Abbs!" Tony beamed, "Hey, can you imagine what Gibbs would say if he found out we had this tape of him and 'Madam' Director?"
Abby giggled and then frowned attempting to impersonate a gruff Gibbs,
"He'd say…"
"You two are in more trouble than you ever dreamed possible…." Gibbs growled as he stood behind them.
"….and, that I think that Ducky's voice isn't that bad."
Tony DiNozzo instantly dropped the bag of m&m's scattering a rainbow of colors on the floor.
"Boss!"
Abby Scuito whimpered as she clutched a remote control for dear life.
"Gibbs!"
