Chapter 2

When Ziva walked into Abby's lab a short while later, bearing evidence and a smile, she found Abby anxiously awaiting her with her hands over her face. As she saw her friend enter she split her fingers so she could see her reaction.

"It worked Abby. It was very funny." Ziva said. Abby's hands left her face and landed in the air as she jumped around in delight at her now obvious delight.

"YES!" she said punching the air with her fists. "Tell me what happened." She said enthusiastically.

"I was not in the truck with them when you must have started the calls, but I was at the scene when his cell kept ringing. Ducky got angry and made him turn off the sound, but the thing kept vibrating in his pocket. Ducky and Gibbs were both glaring at him. Then when Jimmy went to get the gurney from the truck, I asked him what the problem told me of his frustration and it rang AGAIN and he dared to answer it, thinking he was alone apart from me." She started to chuckle at the memory.

"Gibbs?" Abby said with wide eyes.

Ziva nodded. "He slapped him on the back of the head. When poor Jimmy tried to stutter out a response, he slapped him again."

Abby felt slightly sorry for poor Jimmy. But it was really hard for her to hide her glee when she heard how he received her text message with the final question. She spun around on her chair excitedly.

"Did he laugh?" she said a she spun her chair around and around, only to have it stopped mid twirl.

"No he didn't." Jimmy said folding his arms. "He did wonder though, why he was the fodder for one of your pranks."

Abby grinned sheepishly, like a little girl with her hand caught in the cookie jar, but as usual, she was thinking on her feet. "Well,....... I just HAD to try that prank out Jimmy, I just HAD to and you were the obvious choice. All the others would have just gotten mad. But I know a person who can take a joke when I see them. Must be because you're of superior intelligence Jimmy. You know not to overreact to small things." She said finishing her diatribe by hugging him especially hard. Jimmy pushed his glasses back onto his face and smiled.

"It WAS pretty funny, when you look back. Of course, Dr Mallard is not that fond of cell phones at the best of times, so I doubt HE would have found the joke so funny." He tried to mildly scold Abby, which of course backfired.

"See Jimmy! I knew you'd understand." Jimmy shook his head and found himself wandering back into the elevator feeling privilaged to be chosen the butt of one of Abby's jokes. How did she do that? He thought.

When the elevator doors closed Ziva slapped Abby on the arm. "You are BAD Abby. That poor boy did not know if he was arriving or leaving." She said.

"Coming or going." Abby said. "And it's your turn. Who's your first victim gonna be." Ziva now smiled.

"I think we should give Jimmy a rest, Tony. I will pick Tony." She said. Abby brought up the page on her computer with the pranks and watched as Ziva scanned down with her eyes. She could almost see the light go on when she found what she was looking for. Abby high fived her.

"Oh yes Zi. That is really good." She said with a grin a mile wide. Give me the heads up when it's about to work and I'll do my best to come up."

"Will do." Ziva said with a sneaky smile as she left for the bullpen.

She had to bide her time until Tony went to the bathroom. Gibbs was in interrogation with a suspect and McGee was out of the office. As soon as Tony disappeared she grabbed his cell and changed all of his speed dail numbers to Gibbs' cell number. She dropped the phone back where she found it and went back to her work. When Tony had been back at his desk a few minutes, Ziva escaped to the hallway. She phoned Abby and told her to meet her in observation.

"Be there in five?" Abby said.

"How is this gonna work?" Abby asked deviously as they stood against the window waiting. Ziva smiled.

"Tony is alone in the office downstairs. He will make phone calls." She said with a smile. "I changed all of his speed dial numbers to Gibbs' cell. You know how he hates to be interrupted when he is in interrogation."she said. Abby grinned.

"What if Tony doesn't call anyone?" she said sceptically.

"He will." Ziva said confidently. They waited. They were not disappointed. A few minutes later Gibbs cell phone rang.

A few minutes later Gibbs cell started ringing."Gibbs." He said as he flipped it open.

"Sorry boss." Tony said as he realised he'd hit the wrong key. "I must have pressed the wrong button." He winced as Gibbs said nothing but hung up. Tony tried again.

"Um........sorry boss." He said quickly before hanging again. What the hell is wrong with me today. He put his glasses on that he rarely used in the office, and had a really good look at his phone, this time before making sure that he pressed on the right person. The phone started ringing but eventually just rang out. No one answered. What the hell was McGee doing anyway. He thought he'd try just one more time. Whatever was preventing McGoo from answering the phone, he must be finished with it soon. He opened his cell again and speed dialled Tim. This time Gibbs opened his phone but didn't speak. But Tony did, thinking he was speaking to McGee.

"About damn time. Why didn't you answer your phone you moron." He said as he ribbed his co-worker and friend. Gibbs shut his phone and picked up the file in front of him and stormed out of interrogation slamming the door behind him.

Abby and Ziva were stunned for a second. With their mouths open in shock they just stood in front of the window watching where Gibbs had been. It only took that second though for them to spring into action. Of course they hadn't heard what Tony had said to Gibbs but it mustn't have been good judging from the reaction. They had to see where Gibbs was going, so as soon as they'd given him enough space to not see them, they snuck out of the observation room and ran towards the bullpen. Gibbs had never actually spoken into his phone the last two times so poor Tony was blissfully unaware of his fate.

The girls watched from a distance with wide eyes as Gibbs stalked up to Tony and grabbed him by the ear, pulling him up to a standing position.

"WHAT IS RULE NUMBER 10?" He bellowed across the room. Tony looked stunned. He had no idea what he had done.

"Don't Bother Gibbs In Interrogation." He said. "But Boss, it was just a wrong number. I...."

"Once is a wrong number Dinozzo. I don't wanna hear it." He said as he bent him over the desk. Gibbs picked up a ruler and slammed it repeatedly against Tony's backside. "You EVER do that again or CALL ME A MORON! For not answering your all important call, you'll lose the pants and I don't care where we are." He put a piece of paper and a pencil on Tony's desk. "One hundred times Dinozzo. A senior agent should remember rule 10." He stormed back to interrogation and slammed the door. The vibrations could be heard around the office. Almost the entire building. Abby and Ziva looked at each other seriously.

"Too far?" Ziva asked in a low voice. Abby looked like she was contemplating the question.

"Na. All's fair in love and pranks. But another one like that and you've definitely won the honour of doing Ducky." Abby said with a grin.
