Intern

"Clear!" Tony yelled to Ziva and McGee as he made his way to the middle of the living room.

"Clear!" Ziva yelled back coming from the opposite side.

They waited for McGee but he never yelled back. Ziva counted, One, Two, Three . . . Made her way up to Seven before McGee finally yelled back.

"Guys!" McGee yelled from upstairs. "I found him." he said as they got closer. "Looks like he OD'd off his own cocaine." Tony checked his pulse. Nothing. "I guess this means no paperwork." He said somewhat happy he didn't have to stay till midnight writing a report. "Let's call Ducky and head back to base."

There was a ping of the elevator and a rush to get back to their desks to finish up and get out for the weekend. They were all in such a hurry it took them forever to finally realize who was missing. . .

"Where's Gibbs?" Tony asked.

They all looked around but there was no Gibbs in sight. Then they heard Vance.

"So when you've decided come and let me know." Vance said to Gibbs as they headed down the stairs.

"Will do Director." Gibbs replied. They all looked at each other. What would Vance possible want Gibbs to decide on? Something just didn't seem right. Gibbs walked into the bullpen with folders in hand.

"Got another case, Boss?" Tony asked. Praying he would say no.

"No" Gibbs said. DiNozzo relaxed, nothing was going to stop him from enjoying a night with Tiff- no Emi- No . . . What was her name again? Tony whipped out his phone and checked his last text . . .

'C U 2nite – C-'

Before he got the full name Gibbs threw the files in his hands causing him to drop his phone in his coffee. He made a wheezy noise as he wondered what came after C-

"Pick One, DiNozzo." Gibbs yelled and then turned back to him. "-and make sure you do a FULL background check this time."

"On It Boss!" he said and looked down to see the words Internship and sighed 'Again?' He thought 'I don't want to go through this again.' Gibbs grabbed his things from off his desk and said bye to the three agents. As soon as Tony knew Gibbs was in the elevator he turned to McGee.

"Probie! Catch" He tossed the stack of paper to McGee. "Your turn to choose." McGee looked down at the papers.

"Ziva! You're the Probie now it's your turn" He tossed the papers to the former Mossad agent. "You can choose our new intern!"

Ziva tossed the papers back to McGee "No thank you!" She said with a smirk to McGee who in turn tossed them to a frazzled DiNozzo who was now trying to get his phone to work again.

"NOOOO!" Tony screamed. "No, no, no, no, no, no!" Then frustrated he threw his phone on the ground only to be hit by flying folders that opened causing papers to fly everywhere.

"I'm not picking that up" Tony said using his 'the boss is gone so now I'm the boss' tone. Ziva and McGee just rolled their eyes.

"Fine but if I am staying here so are you, Tony" Agent David insisted.

"Staying for what?" Their favorite Goth Forensic Scientist asked. "I was waiting for you outside Ziva but you never came."

"Oh! Abby I am so sorry, I completely forgot. We were about to leave and then Gibbs gave us these files to look over to decide on a new intern. " Ziva felt bad for forgetting about Abby.

"Oh! How long is that gonna take?" Abby asked.

"I don't know Abs, Gibbs wants us to do extensive background checks on them. It could probably take a while to even narrow it down to a couple." McGee added.

"Hey! I have an idea." Abby said enthusiastically "What if we all close our eyes and bend over and pick up a paper and then choose from those four?" They all looked and each other with the same expression thinking 'Well It's worth a shot' they all closed their eyes and waited for Abby to say when.

"One, Two Three GO!" she yelled. They all bent over and picked up the first page they found and opened their eyes. Tony was first,

"Mine is just a form, they must have gotten jumbled really good down there."

"Mine says, Alex King, Twenty-Four years old went to school at MIT-" Ziva was interrupted by Tony.

"NEXT!" He shouted.

"Hey! What is wrong with him? " Ziva looked at him quizzically.

"The last thing we need is another Elf Lord on this team." McGee shot him a cold look.

"Ok. How about this it's Kelly Carter, says she went to local college and majored in criminal investigation and minored in computer forensics. Has a 3.9 Average and grew up with both parents in the Navy." Abby said and turned the page over to show them her picture.

"Ahhh . . . A navy brat." Tony sat in his own la la land for a moment. "A-"

"If this is another one of your movie quotes I will kill you with the end of this file." Ziva interrupted with a smile. Abby and McGee just stared at her both imagining their own images of Ziva killing him with the file . . . they both came up with nothing.

"Ok. So we have our girl." McGee said looking at the photo.
