NCIS Squad Room. Later The Same Day.
Ziva crosses from her desk to stand in front of Tony's. "So are you going to tell me DiNozzo?"
"Tell you what Officer David?" Of course he knows exactly what she's talking about but has absolutely no desire to have this conversation with her.
"Tony! Tell me what was wrong with what I said."
"What you said when?"
"This morning. What was wrong with what I said to Gibbs? I know he likes to think of himself as the strong, tough guy team leader but what was so wrong with commenting on his health and suggesting he see Ducky? I do not understand why he looked so shocked."
"Well you see Ziva it's like this...that is..." Tony turns his head to look at the desk next to him where Tim is struggling not to laugh as he listens in. "Probie!"
"Yes Tony?"
"Explain to Ziva what was wrong with she said." He grins at McGee who is starting to blush.
"Ah."
"Would one of you explain now or I may have to get out my paperclips!"
"Probie!"
"O.K. then. Ziva getting it up has nothing to do with sleeping."
"It does not?" She queries in a puzzled tone. "I thought it was about getting your body out of bed in the morning." The guys chuckle.
"No Ziva. It has to do with the part of guy's anatomy that...well you know...when a guy is...it becomes..." McGee stutters as Abby enters the bull pen.
"Hey guys what's going on?"
"McStutter here is trying to explain to Officer David the meaning of 'getting it up'."
"Why?"
"Because when Gibbs said he was just tired she asked if he had trouble getting it up this morning."
Abby grins as she walks up to Ziva and whispers in her ear.
Ziva's eyes widen as she let's out a startled "Oh! Thanks for getting me out of here then Tony." She gathers her things from behind her desk. "Good night."
"You're welcome. Good night" he calls as she leaves.
"I would've loved to see the look on Gibbs face" Abby comments as the guys gather their gear.
"Yeah, it was classic." Tony responds coming out from behind his desk as Tim does the same.
"Ouch!" they both cry out simultaneously as Abby headslaps them.
"What was that for?"
"Teasing Ziva. That's not nice Tony. Not nice at all."
"But it is fun..." Abby raises her hand. "Not funny. Not funny Won't happen again.."
"Good." Abby links her arms through theirs and they head towards the elevator. As the doors open and they step in she turns to DiNozzo and asks with a cheeky grin "So Tony you are looking a bit tired. Did you have trouble getting it up this morning?" The doors close as they collapse helpless with laughter against the walls.
