PLAYING WITH FIRE.
"I do not care about the rules Tony but I say you can not put your hand there!" She glares at him as she swats his hand away.
"I can Zee-vah" he responds stretching out her name in the way he knows annoys her "and I am." He grins cheekily at her as he puts his hand back.
"Is everything just a game to you?" she queries momentarily giving in to her curiosity about him.
"Well...not everything."
"So, what do you take seriously?"
He leans in so that their lips are nearly touching and whispers "Pizza."
She tries not to laugh but a small chuckle escapes her as he leans back. Then with a steely glint in her eyes she leans in and places her hand firmly on the spot between his legs.
He gasps. "You sure know how to torture a guy Officer David."
"And do not you forget it Senior Field Agent DiNozzo."
Gibbs enters the evidence garage and glares at them as he takes in the scene before him. "What is going on in here?"
"Gibbs!" Tim exclaims from behind Ziva.
"Well you see Bossman it's like this..." Abby pipes up from behind DiNozzo.
"Yes?"
"We were supposed to be going out for a meal and a movie as it is TGIF you know but it's pouring with rain and we couldn't decide where to go or what to see and I've been clearing out evidence from really, really old cases as per the Director's directive and found this so..."
"Abs! The short version."
"We decided to order in pizza and play this instead. Want to join us?"
"Ah. No thanks Abby. I've paperwork to complete. Good night." He turns to leave as a chorus of "Good nights" come from behind him. As the elevator doors close he smiles. Tony might be a tough guy Senior Field Agent, McGee a world renowned author and Ziva an assassin but Abby was obviously far stronger than all of them. How else could she have convinced them to play Twister?
