The Turkey

Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS or any NCIS character

A few weeks had passed since anyone had felt the wrath of Gibbs. The atmosphere appeared calm and everyone happy. Tony wasn't goofing around, and Ziva and Tim were working hard. Even Abby appeared happier than usual, and Gibbs was still 'being Gibbs'. It stayed like this for a few more days, and then suddenly "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" bellowed Gibbs. Everyone turned to look what he was talking about and they couldn't believe their eyes. It was a turkey clucking away behind Gibbs' desk. Gibbs turned to tell Tony to get rid of it, but he had disappeared. "GET RID OF THIS DAMN TURKEY AND I WANT DINOZZO FOUND!"

"Boss, where am I supposed to …." Gibbs glared at Tim "On it boss, I'll find somewhere" he said nervously.

Ziva calls Tony's phone and speaks to him "Where are you? Gibbs is going nuts up here. Someone had put a living turkey behind his desk…..what do you mean you know?…..Gibbs is going to find you and skin you alive"

"Ziva, were you talking to Dinozzo?" Gibbs asked, but he already knew the answer "Think very carefully before you answer me."

Ziva thought for a moment and said "Yes, it was Dinozzo but he would not tell me where he was."

Gibbs turned to Tim "Put a trace on Dinozzo's phone!" "Yes boss" Tim said and he quickly put a trace on Tony's phone.

"Mmmm, boss, you won't believe where he is" Tim said to Gibbs "Try me." "Tony is here" Gibbs looked puzzled "McGee I swear it won't be a head slap that I give you in a minute if you don't stop messing about." Tim looked at Gibbs "Boss, I'm not messing about. Tony is in this room."

Gibbs takes his phone out of his jacket pocket and speed dials Tony's phone number. It rings and everyone can faintly hear a phone ringing. Gibbs slowly walks towards the noise, and then suddenly stops. He finds Tony's phone lying on the floor beneath a desk, but he wasn't there. Gibbs gets up from kneeling on the floor, and yells "FIND DINOZZO NOW!" to Tim and Ziva.

They both quickly leave the bullpen and head down to Abby's lab. "Have you seen Tony?" Tim asked Abby "Gibbs wants him."

"No Timmy, I haven't seen him. Is he in trouble?" Abby asked.

"You could say something like that" Ziva said "He had put a living turkey behind Gibbs' desk and now he is missing" Tim said.

Abby was laughting.

"It's not laughing matter Abs. Gibbs is not happy" Tim said.

"Poor Tony. He's really going to get it" Abby said.

"Yes he is Abby, but it's his own fault" Ziva said coldly.

Tim turns to Ziva "we better go and find Tony", and they begin to walk out.

"If I see Tony, I'll let you know" Abby shouted at them as they walk out of Abby's lab.

Tony was in a coffee shop, in a queue thinking what he should do "I am dead, I am dead" he keeps repeating to himself quietly.

"Are you alright sir?" a spotty teenager behind the counter asked Tony "I'm fine thank you. Just thinking what my next move should be" Tony smiled at the boy. "Could I have a large latte please?" he asked the boy. When he got his latte Tony sat down away from any windows or doors. He sat quietly in a corner of the coffee shop, expecting someone from NCIS to walk in.

Back in NCIS Tim and Ziva go back to the bull pen to tell Gibbs the not so good news. "Boss, we haven't been able to locate Tony any where in the building. May be we could go outside and see if he's there?" Gibbs looks up to the pair of them, "Go!"

"I would not like to be Tony right now" Ziva said to Tim, "Neither would I Ziva, but we better find him before Gibbs guns for our backsides as well". They both gulped at the thought.

Half an hour of walking around the area. Ziva said "I give up. I am going back" and begins to walk back to the Navy Yard. "Ziva, wait. We have to find the idiot" Tim said. Ziva stopped and looked at Tim "McGee, I'm fed up with DiNozzo behaving like a juvenile delinquent, and us being caught up in it. I'm going back." Tim walked with her back to the Navy Yard, and headed straight into the bull pen.

"Gibbs, we have looked everywhere, but we still cannot find him" Ziva said. Gibbs looked up and glared at the pair of them "Okay, just get back to what you were doing before DiNozzo behaved like a damn juvenile delinquent." "Yes Boss, Yes Gibbs" they said in unison as they walked back to their desks. Poor DiNozzo Tim and Ziva thought.

Tony finishes his latte and decides to go and face the music with Gibbs. He knows it won't be pleasant but he also knows that he hasn't got a choice either. He leaves the coffee shop and heads back to NCIS. A few minutes later he walks back into the NCIS building looking and feeling very anxious and nervous. He slowly gets into the elevator and presses the floor for the bull pen. A few minutes later he gets there, and walks out of the elevator. Everyone looks at him, and then Tim sees him, and then Ziva. They both go to him "Gibbs is gunning for your backside" Tim said. "I had a feeling he would be" said Tony "Where is he anyway?" "Gone to get coffee" said Ziva "I'm back now, and you better have a DAMN GOOD EXPLANATION DINOZZO" Gibbs bellowed "CONFERENCE ROOM NOW!"

"Yes Boss" Tony said. He begins to walk away.

Gibbs walks to his desk and puts his coffee down on his desk, and then quickly walks towards the conference room to deal with his juvenile delinquent…..

WHAT SHOULD GIBBS DO WITH DINOZZO WITH PULLING THE TURKEY PRANK AND RUNNING AWAY?

Thank you for all the lovely reviews. J
