Gibbs: Anybody got eyes on McGee?
--
"Ow!" Tim reached for the back of his head and looked up see Tony passing by him. "What was that for?"
"For scaring the crap out of us on that ship…"
McGee almost smiled. "Gee Tony, didn't know you cared."
He picked up on the sarcasm and stepped back towards him. "Look if something happens to you, I'm left with twice as much paper work, so next time be more careful."
Tim stood up in response. "Interesting."
"What is?" Tony noticed the look in his eyes and backed away.
"You cant admit it."
"Admit what?" He slipped behind his desk and pulled his chair in.
"You care." Tim pointed at him and wouldn't relent. "You care Tony. It's nothing to be ashamed of."
"I'm just looking out for the team's best interest…that's what a good Senior Agent does…so take notes in case you end up one someday."
Tim eased up and retreated behind his own desk to grab a note pad. He scribbled down a few words before setting it aside.
"You're not seriously taking notes are you Probie?"
Tim shrugged. "Nah. Of course not."
After McGee had gone home for the night; Tony took the liberty of finding out for himself. He opened the note pad and couldn't help but smile at the first rule on the list. Care. He had figured Tim wanted him to see it but decided not to mention it. After all, some things go without saying. And this was one of them.
