Abby was excited, as usual, as she glided up the hall to the bullpen. There McGee was sitting typing away at his computer. "Hey McGee!" She called as she bent over his desk. "How is McGee this morning?" "Huh?" he mumbled while he looked up. "Oh, I am fine but tired. I almost pulled another all-nighter last night." "McGee what did I say about spending all-nighters by yourself?" "That I should come down in the lab with you so I wouldn't be alone. I know Abbs." "But you forgot." She said while she wrapped her arms around him. "So, what is Timmy up to?" "Nothing right now. Gibbs and I just finished another case yesterday. He came in about an hour ago. Oh, Tony and Ziva's vacation ends today. They should be in any minute." "McGee that's great news! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She scolded while bending down and giving him a swift kiss on the cheek. Ding, went the elevator door as it opened. Tony and Ziva emerged from the elevator chatting lightly. "Tonyy! Zivaa!" Abby cried rushing toward them. She wrapped Tony in a powerful hug. "Umm, I am soo glad your back!" she cried. McGee rose from his chair and rushed toward the two of them. "Ziva, I am glad to see you. You have no idea how hectic things have been around here lately." He wrapped her in a light hug with relief on his face. "I can imagine. It's good to be back." "Okay now Abby." Tony squeaked. "You can get off me before I die from affection." "Oh, sorry. Did I hurt you?" She asked empathetically. "No." McGee pulled away from Ziva and came toward Tony. "Hey Tony. Good to have you back." He said while shaking his hand. "Ziva!" Abby cried again and gave her a bone crushing hug. "Ow, Abby. Yes it is good to be back." She managed to squeeze out while being suffocated. "Yep, it's good to have you two back. Now gear up. Vance wants to see you in his office. Meet us at the crime scene." Gibbs called while picking up his coat and gun. "Let's go." McGee went into the elevator with Gibbs and grimaced. The elevator door slammed shut and Tony turned to Ziva with a smile. "Well let's go see what Director Vance wants."

Ziva and Tony walked into Vance's office and closed the door behind them. "How were your vacations?" Vance asked. "Good." They both chorused. "That's good, because you two are officially back to work starting, when I am done asking you these questions. First, SEC-NAV reports that Ilan Bodnar was killed in a Tel-Aviv airport earlier this week. Second, he sent over this picture." He slid it across the desk. Ziva bent down to look at it with Tony over her shoulder. It was a picture of her walking away from the crime scene. "Would you like to see another view?" He slid over a second picture, this one zoomed farther out. It included Tony in the picture. "Care to tell me what you two were doing on that vacation you both took?" Vance said flatly. "We…" Ziva started. Tony picked it up, "We were on a mission to kill a hunted man as was in your orders." "We know that we weren't fully authorized to do so but we were hoping that by doing it off-book we would be okay." Ziva finished. "You two were perfectly okay. I just wanted to clear things up. Thank you for killing that bastard; Jackie would be as proud of both of you as I am. You are officially back at work now." "Thank you so much Director." They both said happiness spilling over them. "Hey," Vance called out as they both made their way slowly to the door, "Don't you have another killer to catch?"

Tony and Ziva arrived late at the crime scene. A navy officer was lying on the carpet; pinned there by a knife through his chest. "DiNozzo: bag and tag. Ziva: Take pictures. McGee, what are you doing?" Gibbs asked. "Uh, Boss." McGee suddenly screamed and raced out of the room followed by a crab with blood on its claws. "McGee," Gibbs said in an exasperated tone, "Grab the crab." "Nice alliteration Boss." Tony said. Ducky and Palmer came in and preceded to laugh their heads off with the rest of the team at McGee's antics. He would scurry from room to room; making noises as he went. The crab would follow behind him; snapping its claws at him and almost tearing his coat. Finally Gibbs had enough and stuck a cage down on the ground, bent down, and picked the crab up in one swoop; putting it in the cage as he did so. Tony and Ziva fell over each other laughing. "Oh, it's good to be home." Ziva whispered in Tony's ear.

So, there you go. They have come home. I will do another chapter at least; there are some things I want to clear up. Please tell me if you think I should do one?! Hint: They say some pretty big things to each other and it gets pretty emotional. Please tell me!
