Rule #18: Its better to seek forgiveness, then ask permission

Tony is bored one day where he has already finished his paperwork from their last case and heads down to Autopsy to see Palmer there bouncing a ball off to the side where there is a desk with some papers on top and also really bored, "Autopsy Gremlin since both are bored out of our minds how about we find something to entertain ourselves?"

Jimmy Palmer looks over at his friend, "Like what Tony?"

Tony snickers and hops up on a table thinking of what to do, "Not sure but between the two of us we can find something to do. Anything you know?"

"Well I did see Deeks playing with a new security stuff we can..."

Tony raises an eyebrow and smirks, "Smart thinking we can figure it out before he can and impress Gibbs," he heads for the elevator with Palmer in tow and finds Deeks backpack behind Ziva's desk and pulls out a lack box and picks the lock and pulls out the security thing, "To my computer and try it there."

Palmer pulls up another chair and they both sit down, "Sure you know what to do? It looks more high tech then what McGee usually is working on."

He waves him off, "Nothing that I can't handle Gremlin."

Deeks, Abby, Ziva and McGee walk into the bullpen from getting lunch and see them both sitting at Tony's desk and Abby drops a bag of food down on the desk and both of them grab theri food and start to eat but not looking up from the computer, "Whatcha doing?"

Tony shrugs, "Playing a game while big man is away for the day since nothing else to do."

Ziva glances at her partner and Palmer having a feeling they were up to something, "Sure you wont get caught red footed?"

Deeks shakes his head, "Its caught red handed Ziva."

Abby sits down on edge of McGee's desk, "So how you liking FLETC?"

Deeks shrugs, "Ah its boring at times when the others in my group have no damn idea what the instructor is talking about and have to watch over-and-over again the same thing. Like today we had to watch them clean a SIG 5 different times because 3 couldn't get it."

Tony looks up at him, "Now probie where you learn to become so smart in ways of NCIS since only in training?"

He rolls his eyes, "My team drills it into my head all the time about how important its to keep a well maintained weapon. Self defense class not that is really dull."

"Why is that?" Abby asked.

"When they are fighting with each other its funny to watch them but when with me boring because they last 30 seconds..."

Tony snickers, "Bet you couldn't beat me at all."

"I bet could beat you in 10 minutes."

McGee starts laughing until a sound starts to go off from Tony's computer, "What are you playing over there?"

They hear some cursing as every computer in the area shuts off and McGee walks over to see the monitor, "Just looking at something McGoo."

Deeks looks at Gibbs walks over and slaps Tony and Palmer on back of the head, "You two single handly crashed every computer on this floor but how?"

McGee looks at the screen and at his desk, "What are you doing with the Carloi Project?"

Gibbs glares at his senior-field-agent and at Deeks, "Explain!"

Deeks runs a hand through his shaggy hair, "That is the project was working on for Vance in MTAC which was in my backpack when we left for lunch."

"How is it they got it then?" McGee asked having an idea as to how.

Deeks glares at Tony knowing he had picked the lock and goes to get his backpack and pulls out the lockbox, "Was in here and he had to pick the lock."

Vance walks down, "It crashed all of the computers in here because its suppose to only work in MTAC and OPs and these here aren't capable of sustaining the power in them. For your actions both are on displinary leave for 2 weeks without pay. Both of you."

Tony gasps at the thought, "2 weeks why?"

"DiNozzo you are both lucky that it only crashed this floor of computers and not more. So two weeks is fair."

Ziva that night walks out of the shower and slips on some pajama pants and hears a knock at the door and since Tony was still getting ready and they were expecting Abby and McGee for a movie night she answers the door and smiles, "Deeeks what brings you here?"

He smirks and holds a bag of food, "Abby invited me to the movie night."

She moves aside so he can walk inside and Tony walks out of their bedroom, "Whatcha doing here?" He asked still mad about earlier.

Abby walks in, "I invited him and play nice Tony or will let Kensi know and she will fly here just to kill you."

Deeks sits down in an armchair, "What watching tonight?"

Abby tosses him a movie, "Godfather trilogy."

Tony sighs and answers the door and comes back with chinese food, "Well how about we eat and then can watch some movies."

"So how long have you been working with Hetty?" McGee asked. "I went there with Gibbs for a case twice and was nice set up."

Abby nods and Deeks looks around, "4 years with them, 4 years with LAPD and 6 months a lawyer."

"How come you just signed the papers to become an agent?"

He runs a hand through his shaggy hair, "Because my last OP with LAPD I was almost killed because didn't have enough back-up and my partner with me wasn't so lucky. I had already been planning on it but a friend was injured so went under to try and get it over with."

"So always was yuo four getting along?"

He shakes his head, "No it took a while for Sam and Callen since I was new and they didn't know why they even needed a liaison officer since everyone that we ran into seemed to hate me and wasn't very good at the job and thought Hetty had other ideas for me."

"What happened? Why didn't they like you?" Abby asked confused as to why someone wouldn't like him.

"Undercover work with them intailed sometimes going after the dirty cops and just some didn't like how fast I went from cop to undercover detective. Hetty gave me a chance and eventually Sam, Kensi and Callen got use to me being there. No one thought I was going to last..."

"Rule 50...Loyalty is a powerful motivator - earn it from your team."

He nods and drinks some beer Ziva handed him, "In that line of work if your team can't trust yuo to have their backs then you are doomed."
