Summary: A series of fics with no real plot; a look into the team's life at NCIS.

Disclaimer: Bellisario, since I don't get to own NCIS, do I get to own the fake elevator in the fake NCIS building? No? Do I get to pull the fake emergency brakes? Not even that? You make me sad.

Spoilers: General

Okay, so here's how things go. xangels creationx and I were having a conversation when I randomly decided to come up with a scene where all the characters were interacting in the way that they do on NCIS (for example, see below). She enjoyed it, and advised me to publish it. So here it is, the first instalment of the series. If I get positive feedback, I will continue the series. I hope you enjoy!

The Way Things Go

Prompt: Gibbs is in a bad temper because the team is unable to find a case file. (by xangels creationx on FFN)

They can feel the irritation radiating off him the moment he walks into the bullpen, and they bite their lips in guilt. It's technically their fault, really.

He rounds on McGee first, icy blue eyes boring holes into the Probie. "Where is the case file?"

"Uh…uh…I can't find it, Boss."

Gibbs is silent, although the way his irritation level rises is almost visible.

"It is not McGee's fault, Gibbs," Ziva cuts in. "Tony lost the case file."

"Way to take sides, Ziva," Tony says in annoyance.

"DiNozzo, you gonna come up with that case file now?"

"But we just solved the case, Boss!" Tony protests, which gets him nothing but a slap on the back of his head. "On it, Boss," he says meekly, and hurries off to find the case file.

"Tony is right, though. We did solve the case."

"I ask you for your opinion, Ziva?" Ziva heads off to help Tony, and the silver-haired man turns his glare back upon the remaining junior agent. "McGee!"

"Yes, Boss!"

"You let those two bully you like that again, I'll have your badge."

"Yes, Boss."

"Go help them find that damn file! And you clowns better have found it before I get back!" Gibbs yells after their retreating backs, before turning himself towards Abby's lab.

"Hey, Abs."

"Gibbs!" The raven-haired girl turns around with a smile, only to look disappointed as she takes in the person before her. "Ooh, I don't see any Caf-Pow! Hey, Tony left the case file here earlier; I was wondering if you could bring it up to him?" She waves her hand in the general direction of the case file on her lab table.

Gibbs gapes disbelievingly. "You mean it was here all along?" He takes up the file, growling.

"Yeah! Why, something wrong?" She watches in dismay as her boss strides off. "But Gibbs, I want my Caf-Pow!"

End scene! If anyone has any suggestions or prompts, feel free to leave a review! Please play nice, though. :)
