A/N: Hey everybody! This is a funny, cute chapter made for your enjoyment. Hope it works out the way I want to! Review and tell me how I did!
"I didn't know Gibbs lived so close to you, Abby," Kate said. The three of them(her, Tony, and Abby) hid behind the front walls of Gibbs's house, upon whose porch McGee was standing on.
He turned around and took a step away from the door. "Do I really have to do this?"
A muffled voice came from the other side of the door. "You better not."
The door swung open, with (guess who?) Gibbs on the other side, pointing a gun at McGee.
Tony, Abby, and Kate, hearing the door open, stepped out from behind the walls to see what was going on.
Suddenly, Jenny Shepard appeared in the doorway, also. "Put down the gun, Agent Gibbs."
Gibbs reluctantly put his arms to his sides, gun still in hand.
"Agent McGee, this is simply not acceptable."
"Uhh, Director... I swear, it won't happen again一"
"I'm sorry, I can't take promises. I'm going to have to relieve you of your duties."
Tony, Kate, and Abby all looked at each other.
Tony spoke up, "Director一"
"You too, Agents DiNozzo, Todd, and Miss Scuito. As far as I can see, you all were involved as much as Agent McGee was."
"Who's gonna be my team, then, Director?" Gibbs asked.
"I'll have to reassign you." Jenny looked back at the team. "This is very disappointing."
Gibbs slowly raised the gun at them, and pulled the trigger.
A small squirt of water sprayed out.
Gibbs slowly put down the gun and looked at Jenny. The two high-fived and burst out laughing.
McGee turned around at them as they all had a sigh of relief, then started to chuckle a bit themselves.
"Let's run, guys!" Tony said to Abby and Kate when he saw Gibbs pointing the gun back at them. McGee turned around hurriedly and ran, too. The four veered around the corner of Gibbs's house and Gibbs ran after them, the Director tailing him.
"Still got it in ya, Boss?" Tony called.
"See for yourself, DiNozzo!" Gibbs said before turning to Jenny, "C'mon, Jen! At one point you were a field agent, too!"
Gibbs easily passed McGee, who barely trailed the rest of the team. He soon gave up, stopping abruptly and putting his hands on his knees.
"Get moving, McGee!" Jenny barked. McGee started to run but then realized he wasn't at work. He then felt empowered because he denied a direct order. Ooh, was he bad.
Gibbs passed Abby and Kate, running at about the same speed. Jenny joined the two women, not bothering to run with Gibbs. Gibbs ran up to Tony.
"Woah, I guess you haven't lost your speed, Gibbs."
Gibbs smirked. "No, I haven't," he said as he ran three feet ahead of Tony easily and continued.
As they circled around the house, the women slowed down to a stop, their hands on their hips. "Men, they're so competitive," Jenny commented.
"Amen," Abby said.
Now Tony and Gibbs were racing across Gibbs's front lawn. They proceeded towards a row of hedges on the other corner of his house. As they approached them, McGee sprang out from behind them, exclaiming, "Aha!" Tony, slightly behind Gibbs, cursed, "McGee!"
Gibbs zoomed past McGee, and their shoulders collided, causing McGee to collapse on the ground, moaning. Tony ran past the injured agent, still trying to reach his goal of beating Gibbs. He decided to give up and help McGee. He knelt down next to him, slapped him playfully on his hurt shoulder, and said, "Good thing he only got your shoulder."
McGee imagined the unfathomable pain he would have endured if it would have been otherwise. "Yah," he replied, holding his shoulder. He slowly sat up in the grass.
"MCGEE!" Abby said, bolting across Gibbs's lawn and approaching McGee on her knees. She eagerly threw her arms around him.
"Ow, Abs, you're hurting my shoulder."
"Oh, sorry." She released him. "Are you okay?"
"No," he moaned.
Abby looked over at Tony. "Is Gibbs still running?"
Tony gave her a look and said, "Yep. The man is nuts."
Tony, Abby and McGee then heard high pitched squealing. They turned and saw Gibbs jogging towards them, holding the Director in his arms. Her head was hanging back and her feet kicked wildly in the air. She was laughing. "Jethro!" she screeched, "Not at work!"
Gibbs let her down. "But we're not at work," he said, gesturing with his hands.
"Ooooh," Jenny giggled.
Gibbs turned back to the team. "What?"
Kate appeared after that, feeling confused at the fact that both of the co-workers she was talking to had abruptly left her. Did she smell bad or something?
She sat down with the rest of them as they all stared up at Jenny and Gibbs. Kate looked around. What the heck?
The awkward silence was broken by McGee, who said, "Does this mean I'm still fired?"
Everyone groaned in annoyance.
"Well," Gibbs laughed, "I want you all off my lawn in ten seconds. And you better not tell anybody else about this."
"Yes sir!" Tony shouted as the group headed for Abby's car.
The four of them crammed into Abby's black compact car, Abby at the steering wheel.
"Ready to go, guys?" Abby asked, bending around to look at them.
"Yeah, why wouldn't we be?" Tony asked.
"I just didn't wanna start driving while anyone was putting lipstick on or something."
"No, you don't have to worry, McGee's not putting on any lipstick right now."
McGee turned around and glared at him.
The rest of them stifled a laugh as Abby started the car.
