This is kind of a short chapter. Still, enjoy.

Vandalism of any kind is unacceptable. Office property-the building ,computers, chairs, etc.- should be treated with care.

"David."

"Yes, Gibbs?"

Gibbs gave Ziva a strange look. "Do you mind telling me why there's a knife in the ceiling?"

Ziva shrugged innocently and looked up. "It could belong to anyone. Most people carry some kind of a knife around with them."

"True. But most of those knives are made for cutting things on the go, not for taking down targets from across the room. Now, tell me again why there's a knife-which is definitely yours- hanging out of the ceiling above your desk."

"If you look closer, Boss, you can tell that there's a bullet hole right next to it." Tony pitched in from the other side of the bullpen.

Gibbs looked up. Sure enough, about a millimeter away from where the knife had stuck in the ceiling was a tiny bullet hole.

Tony nodded as Gibbs took in the state of the ceiling."Totally against office policy, I know. Looks like someone needs to brush up on their rules."

"I read the Handbook," Ziva said defensively. "Well, most of it. But I did not see anything about throwing knives or shooting bullets into ceilings."

"That's one of those rules that goes without being said," Tony replied, rolling his eyes.

Gibbs turned back to Ziva. Tony had a good point, but he wasn't sure whether he should be screaming at Ziva for shooting into the ceiling of a government agency or congratulating her for her aim.

As it turned out, he wouldn't have to choose.

"That's a some aim you've got there, David."

Gibbs didn't have to turn around the recognize Vance's voice. He nodded slightly and backed away, making a mental note to get this unspoken rule of common sense added to the next version of the handbook. Gibbs knew he really should fight him on this one, but, hey, it was Vance's agency, and he was free to decide exactly how many bullet holes he wanted in it.

As always, thanks for the reviews and story alerts.
