"Shit. Fuck. Shit, shit, shit!"
Tony halted outside the break room and peeked in curiously. A ginger haired woman was standing in front of the vending machine pounding at it with her fist and cursing furiously. She wore a gray pencil skirt, a white blouse and 2-inch-heels with her flaming locks brought together in a loose bun above her neck.
"Oh, for fucks sake!"
"Need any help?"
She turned around startled, with her green eyes wide open in surprise. Tony walked into the room confidently with a grin on his face.
"I… well, my pop tart got stuck." She pointed helplessly at the treat barely hanging on, yet still not falling down.
"Yes… that happens sometimes." He surveyed her face and realized she must be in her late twenties, taking into account that the tiny freckles on her nose made her look younger. She was very attractive, and maybe a little too young for him, but that shouldn't matter for some harmless flirtation. He always liked a damsel in distress. "You need to be gentle with it." He caressed the side of the vending machine and when he reached the right spot he slammed his palm on the metal once and hard. Instantly, the pop tart dropped to the slot. "There we go." He handed the snack to her with a smile.
"Wow. That was… impressive."
"You learn the little tricks after a while."
"Well, thanks a lot. Do you want one? I don't usually eat that stuff, I'm kind of stressed today, though… Come on, take one, that's the only way I can repay you."
"I can think of a better way for you to repay me…" He leaned closer with a suggestive smile and she cracked a grin too.
"I'm Alex, by the way."
"Very Special Agent DiNozzo at your service. But you can call me…"
"Tony!" McGee popped his head in the door "Gibbs wants a team meeting ASAP."
"Well. I got to run. But it was very nice meeting you, Alex."
"Bye, Tony. Thanks for saving my pop tart." She waved her hand as he walked away.
"What's cracking, Boss? Do we have a case?"
"No, but I do have an announcement for you. Where's Ziva?"
"Here!" Ziva exited the elevator in her gym clothes, sweat clearly visible on her forehead.
"How attractive." She made a face at Tony.
"So, what's the big news?"
"We are getting a temporary addition to the team."
"Wait… Boss, you can't be serious!"
"Yes, DiNozzo, I am absolutely serious. And here she is, Alexandra Novak, our new intern."
"Hello." Alex stood in front of the team and gave them a shy smile. Everyone just looked at her without saying a word. Finally, Gibbs introduced the team pointing at each of them.
"David, DiNozzo, McGee. Welcome to the team, Novak."
"Thank you, Gibbs."
