Disclaimer: Yup, don't own it.
Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. That was the only word in the entire English vocabulary to describe how he felt.
Though, he was sure if he asked Ducky, he'd happily provide a suitable replacement for the word. He's also tell you its origin, and what significance it held to Julius Caesar or King William.
Gibbs would tell him there was never nothing to do. Apparently, in the world of Gibbs, the word 'bored' doesn't even register on his vocabulary-o-meter.
Kate would simply roll her eyes and suggest he do something a little more productive, like grow up, perhaps.
McGee would simply bore him with another one of his 'at MIT' stories.
And Abby? Well, Abby would just agree with him and listen to him ramble on about his weekend plans with his latest hottie. Then tell him how much she reminds him of her Transvestite friend McGee met a couple of weeks back.
Yup. He was so bored, he was channeling his co-workers. Not a good sign.
If Gibbs weren't sitting only a matter of meters away, he'd amuse himself by flicking various objects across the room. Most of which would hit Kate or McGee. But since Gibbs was there………well, you get the idea.
A phone rang, jerking out of his laid back posture in his chair.
He watched Gibbs silently comprehend the voice on the other end. Maybe they had a case?
He hoped not. He had plans for the weekend.
Not to mention the devastating loss of a Man or Woman fighting for their country, of course.
Gibbs put the phone back on the cradle and headed up the stairs with a simple 'I'm in MTAC' following in his wake.
Once he was sure they ere out of eye-sight, and ear-shot, it was time to strike.
"Kaaaaaatie!! I'm bored."
"Congratulations, DiNozzo." It was an apathetic reply. Clearly, being distracted by her rather 'childish' partner wasn't on her list of things to do today.
"Awe, thank-you Katie. It's nice to know you care."
"Yeah, right."
"McGeek! Plans for the weekend?"
"Well, actually, not that you mention it, I was thinking about taking my niece to the zoo. A chance to bond, you know?"
"Sounds nice. And what about you Miss Todd? Anything planned for the weekend?"
"Nothing you should concern yourself with."
"So that's a yes?"
"Like I said, nothing that concerns you."
"So that means no sexy little rendezvous in a pair of black leather panties for you then, huh? All work and no play makes Katie a dull girl."
"You're such a pig!" He knew that would get her going. "Where do you come up with absurdities like that?"
"I just let my imagination run wild."
"you sure it's not something a little further south?"
He thought for a moment. Kate did have a point there. "Well Kate, dear, that does inspire me. Along with a few, other things." He replied, shooting her a wink.
She groaned, rolled her eyes and concentrated back on her work. He had effectively annoyed her.
Mission, not so Impossible.
"McGeek, what's Abby got planned for the weekend?"
"Well, ah, she's…..she's…..I, uh, I don't know, Tony."
"Well, why don't you go find out, be a good Probie now."
"But, I've still got…"
"No buts Probie. Now!!"
Quicker than lightning, McGee was out of his chair and descending the stairwell to Abby's lab.
"You really shouldn't be so mean to him you know."
"Kid's gotta learn somehow. He's just taking the hard way."
"Tony! You just yelled at the poor guy for not knowing what Abby was doing this weekend!"
"He should already know. He's training to be a Federal Agent, Kate."
"Do you know what Abby's doing this weekend, Tony?
"No. That's why I asked. If I knew, I would have had to ask now would I?"
Kate sighed, working with DiNozzo definitely took its toll. "You're incredibly…."
"Smart. Handsome. Good-looking. Intelligent. Funny. Charming. Witty. Sexy. I know Kate, I know. But I don't mind if you feel the need to remind me.
"I was thinking more like arrogant. Pig headed. Egotistical. Cruel. Dictating…."
"Ok ok, I get the idea.
Five minutes later, McGee bounded back into the bullpen. "Tony! I found out what Abby's got planned for the weekend."
"What took you so long Probie?"
"Oh, she asked me to help her with her system while I was down there." He stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "She's going to a friend's birthday party. Said to tell you 'code 99'. Whatever that means." He said, sitting back at his desk, resuming his work.
"Code 99?" Kate asked, throwing a questioning look Tony's way.
He sighed, with the things this woman didn't know about 'The Frat Years', he could write a best seller. "Just another way of saying, 'going to get incredibly wasted…"
"And not remember the name of the blonde sleeping next to you, right?"
"Doesn't necessary have to be blonde, Kate." Gibbs said as he walked passed, coffee in hand.
Right, that wasn't weird.
"Of course Boss. You prefer re…" Seeing the look on his bosses' face, he decided not. "What you prefer is none of my business?"
It was half a question, half a statement.
"Get your gear. We're going to Quantico."
