"I am not taking Dinozzo to pick up the suspect in Canada. There is no way I am spending that many hours in the car with him." Gibbs exclaimed to Ducky.
"Better you than McGee or Kate. He would torture them." Ducky responded while leaning over an autopsy.
"He is going to torture me. He won't sit still; he will screw with the radio, slurp a shake and complain that he is hungry the entire way there."
"You still haven't figured out how to calm him down." Ducky said smiling at Gibbs exasperation.
"There is no way to calm him down Duck." Gibbs stated definitely.
"Not true, Jethro, Not true."
Jethro raised his eyebrows at the comment.
"Planning on sharing?" He asked.
"I rather think it would be a good idea if you would figure it out." Ducky responded.
"And I might think it would be a good idea if I send you to Canada to get the suspect with Tony."
"Jethro," Ducky replied calmly. "I am far too old for threats to bother me."
"Do bribes work?" Gibbs questioned.
"Just touch him."
"What?" Gibbs questioned a bit astounded.
"Put your hand on the boy anywhere and he calms down immediately. Why do you think I touch him on the shoulder when we talk? He listens much more attentively and doesn't say a word. I think he is so shocked he can't speak."
"That is the secret?" Gibbs asked stunned.
"Just try it and find out." Ducky replied.
"I will." Gibbs confirmed with doubt in his voice.
