Over 400 reviews! Thank you all, you are amazing!
My exams are over and I passed(Yeah!), so that means more time for me to write, but I have decided to focus on one story at the time. So my two other stories(Trust Amongst Stranger and Hummingbird) won't be updated till this one is finished; which won't be long as I only have planned 5 more chapters(besides this one).
Enjoy!
Chapter 10 – Payback and mad superiors
Harry smirked against Tim's neck when he saw Tony squirm after he had kissed Tim behind his left ear, from where he stood leaning against Tim's back, helping going through some information on Petty Officer Allen. Harry and Tim had decided to get some well deserved payback and were doing a pretty good job so far. Abby was having lots of trouble with her machines, Ziva's things disappeared from time to time and Harry and Tim made sure to be very couply around Tony since it bothered the man enough for the others to laugh at his behalf.
"Harry leave McGee's neck alone and get back to work. DiNozzo update." Gibbs said when he entered the office area. Gibbs had been very cool about Harry and Tim being a couple, but he was acting like a real parent and not letting them be alone for long or letting them sleep in the same room when they were at his house. Harry still thought it funny the first time, around 2 days ago, when his uncle had ordered Harry from the couch, where he had been sitting with Tim, to his room; the former guestroom. Harry didn't mind, he found it nice that someone was acting like a parent.
/Break/
"Where the hell is it?" Ziva growled looking through her things.
"What have you lost now Ziva?" Tony said and looked up while Tim was hiding a smile, he and Harry had taken Ziva's booth knife from her drawer and Harry had taken it with him down to Abby, who was in need of some assistance.
"My knife. I have looked everywhere and I can't find it."
"Sure you didn't forget it at home?" Tony asked with a smirk, he just loved teasing Ziva.
"No I did not forget it at home Tony, I put it in the drawer when I got in earlier." Ziva said, sounding quit frustrated.
"Maybe it is with everything else you seemed to have lost today?" Tim said. Ziva just growled and emptied her bag on her desk to go through that again.
/Break/
Harry's fingers were going a mile per hour while he was tracing some transfers from one of the marines in Allen's unit. Abby was working on the other computer trying to get a match from a fingerprint and some blood that had been discovered in Allen's apartment. Harry smirked as he scratched his nose, sending a bit of magic into Abby's dinger.
'Ding' Abby swirled around to look at one of her other screens.
"That was weird." Abby said when she tried to find out why it had dinged. Harry smiled as he silenced the ding from the match of the fingerprint a little while later.
"Abby the computer found a match to the fingerprint." Harry said since Abby had been working on the other computer since the first ding.
"But it didn't ding." Abby said and went back to her computer.
"What didn't ding?" Gibbs asked from behind them. Abby turned to look at him for a second before turning back again.
"My dinger. First it dinged without a match, but then when there was a match it didn't ding."
"Maybe it's broken. Now tell me what you got."
/Break/
"Argh." Ziva growled while tapping her keyboard again and again making her computer beep for each key pushed.
"Ziva relax." Tim said and made his way over to Ziva's desk his eyes laughing. Tim had been 'playing' with Ziva's computer when she and Tony had been out to get some coffee and lunch earlier.
"There." Tim said after he had 'fixed' Ziva's computer.
"Thank you McGee." Ziva said and turned back to her work never noticing the smirk Tim gave Harry as he got out of the elevator.
/Break/
"Not again!" Tony groaned as he saw Harry and Tim kissing by the wall behind the stairs.
"You okay Tony?" Tim asked straitening his shirt like nothing was wrong.
"No." Tony moaned and walked the other way shaking his head, obviously trying to get the image of the couple kissing out of his head.
"Think they had enough yet?" Harry asked giving Tim another soft kiss.
"Yes, but this is too much fun. The look on Tony's face each time he sees us kissing is priceless." Tim said shaking his head sadly with a big smile. Harry smirked and smacked Tim's shoulder.
/Break/
"Where is Mini-Probie Probie?" Tony asked looking around trying to spot the youngest member of Team Gibbs.
"Out getting coffee I think, he didn't quit say." Tim answered looking up from his computer. Gibbs looked up when the elevator opened seeing his nephew coming towards them his hands filled with coffee and a paper bag. Putting his load on Tim's desk Harry turned to the rest of the team with a guilty look on his face.
"What did you do?" Ziva asked the moment she noticed Harry's expression. Harry had already explained it to Abby when he had been down with a big Caf-Pow as apology to her.
"Well I wanted to apologize for the trouble Tim and I have caused these last couple of days." Harry said putting a cup of coffee on each desk.
"What kind of trouble? As far as I know you have only made Tony squirm a bit." Ziva said taking a sip of her coffee, Tony just glared at her.
"Well that was only part of it." Tim said trying to take a look in the bag but got his hand smacked away.
"Trouble in paradise Probie? And what do you mean only part of it?" Tony asked taking a skeptic look at his coffee. Tim merely ignored Tony and pulled the lit of his coffee.
"For one: Ziva's missing possessions and computer trouble."
"You did that? Where is my knife?" Ziva demanded to know, all the other missing possessions had found their way back.
"Your knife is right in front of you taped under your desk." Harry said sipping his own cup, which was filled with hot chocolate. Ziva quickly got under the table and reemerged with her knife safely in her hand. Gibbs leaned back in his chair knowing that there was more to this.
"What else did you two do?"
"We played a little with Abby's computer, her music and dinger to be exact." Harry said, it had fun to watch Abby try to play her own music but ending up with different other songs that Tim had mentioned she didn't like.
"She must be mad at you." Tony stated.
"Not really. She was a little frustrated while it was going on, but found it funny when I explained her why." Harry said leaning against Tim's desk.
"And why did you do what you did?" Gibbs asked; both Tony and Ziva looked eager to know.
"We did what we did to get a little payback for looking us in the elevator." Tim said.
"Well we only did that for your own good." Ziva said.
"I get the feeling that my part of the payback won't end just yet." Tony said slapping his hand over his eyes. Ziva snickered into her coffee.
/Break/
"So what is in that mysterious bag of yours?" Tim asked when they entered his apartment.
"Just some ingredients for dinner tonight, which is a surprise, and a few other things." Harry said petting Jethro as he stood from his basket to greet them.
"What other things?" Tim asked wrapping his arms around Harry kissing his neck in the process.
"Not that you jerk." Harry said with a laugh since Tim was digging his fingers into Harry's sides tickling him.
/Break/
Tim woke late that night, laying flat on his stomach, when he heard something rustle around his apartment. Looking around the bedroom he found Harry missing. Pulling on a t-shirt Tim walked into the main room. At his computer, with a cup of something steaming by his side, sat Harry playing one of his new games.
"Couldn't sleep?" Tim asked leaning down and put his head on top of Harry's. Harry paused the game and leaned his head against Tim's chest over the back of the chair.
"Something like that." Harry mumbled getting a soft kiss in return.
"Why don't you turn off the computer and come back to bed?" Tim asked letting Harry get away with not telling him what was wrong. Harry turned off the computer and stood, Tim's right arm wrapped around his shoulders. Harry cuddled closer to Tim turning his head and rubbed his nose at Tim's neck.
"I guess not sleeping made you less sleepy huh?" Tim asked with a chuckle as Harry turned to face him wrapping his arms around his neck, his hands in Tim's hair.
"That makes you the lucky one doesn't it?" Harry asked with a smile and kissed Tim on the lips before moving to his neck again.
/Break/
"New day, new case." Tony said with a sigh as they unloaded the truck the next day. They had gotten a call earlier about a dead marine at a training camp.
"Suck it in DiNozzo." Ziva said pulling out the evidence-kit.
"Suck it up, not in Ziva." Tony said turning to her. Harry smiled and handed Tim his bag. Gibbs was off to the side talking with the Sergeant running the camp, the rest of the unit had been asked to wait in the dining-hall.
/Break/
"Private Wilson's buddies said that Wilson was good at pretty much everything, a nice and fun friend and apparently single." Ziva told.
"Grew up in Halifax, Virginia, father died in 1994. Graduated from University of Virginia in 1998, good grades. Wilson became a marine shortly after that. No criminal records of any kind." Tim continued. Harry and Tony were still at the camp going through and collecting Wilson's possessions before they would continue to his apartment.
"Heard anything from Harry and DiNozzo yet?" Gibbs asked looking at the files Tim had brought up on the plasma.
"They called five minutes ago that they were finishing up at the camp." Ziva said before going back to her work.
/Break/
"Jethro you're early." Ducky said when Gibbs entered Autopsy. Private Wilson's body was lying on the table; Palmer was standing beside the table taking notes.
"I thought I was right on time. What do you got?" Gibbs asked taking in the private's body.
"Not much actually. It appears that Wilson was killed due to an overdose; he had been on painkillers after getting injured on a fieldtrip last week. What bothers me is that the painkillers wouldn't be enough to kill him, he would have had to take almost the entire bottle, if not more, to make this kind of damage." Ducky answered showing Gibbs his findings.
/Break/
"So have you and McGee taken the next step?" Tony asked looking through Wilson's closet.
"What do you mean the next step? No, wait, don't answer that." Harry said turning back to the bookcase he had been looking at.
"You're not telling me that "The Lovely Couple" hasn't gone all the way yet? Because that is one hell of a hickey you have on your neck."
"Just because you sleep with a girl on the first date, doesn't mean that Tim and I do. Now get back to work before I lock you in the closet you were supposed to be looking through." Harry said, never looking at Tony who held his hands up in mock surrender.
/Break/
"What has you in such a good mood?" Tim asked when Harry and Tony got back from Wilson's apartment.
"Nothing, nothing. Just the lovely Senior Field Agent putting his nose where it doesn't belongs." Harry said, the word 'lovely' was drawled, and glared at Tony who was updating Gibbs about their findings.
"Well that's Tony, always putting his nose in other people's business, even when he knows to keep his distance." Tim said; the last part loud enough for Tony to hear. Tony just gave Tim a smile and raised an eyebrow suggestively.
"Anything new?" Harry asked ignoring Tony once again.
"Not much actually but, Ducky says that Wilson died of an overdose." Tim answered sitting down; Harry leaned against the desk beside him.
"That would not be with his own pills then. The bottle of painkillers we found at Wilson's apartment was new, the label stated he had gotten them from the pharmacy the day before the camp started and was only missing the exact number of pills Wilson would need during the camp, beside we found the rest of those pills among his possessions." Harry said fishing two evidence-bags up from his backpack. Gibbs, who had been listening, took the two bags and looked them over; nodding slowly Gibbs handed them back to Harry.
"Get Abby to run a test on these and ask her to see if they match the result from Wilson's tox screen." Gibbs said. Harry turned to Tim with a questioning raised brow, Tim just shrugged his shoulders; he obviously didn't know what Gibbs had in mind.
/Break/
"Tony. Could I talk to you for a minute?" Tim asked as they made her way down to Abby after she had called Gibbs. Tony stopped and turned towards him; Tim noticed Harry looking back at him before continuing into the elevator.
"What Probie? Needing any help in the love department?" Tony asked with a smirk and teasing voice.
"No I don't need help. I just want you to lie of Harry for a while. He doesn't feel that well today." Tim said thinking about how restless Harry had slept after he had found him by the computer.
"Running him to hard Timmie Boy?"
"Tony I would appreciate if you could keep your head out of our relationship, but Harry hasn't been sleeping well for your information." Tim said keeping his voice cold to try and get Tony to back down.
/Break/
"What do you got Abs?" Gibbs asked an hour and a half later when he and the rest of the team entered the lab. Abby quickly turned down the volume of her music and brought some chards up on her screens.
"The pills in the bag doesn't match those in the bottle, but they do much those Wilson overdosed with. The pills in the bag had a much higher content of the painkiller than Wilson's original pills." Abby said while gesturing with her hands.
"So you're saying that someone switched Wilson's medication?" Ziva asked and Abby nodded with a smile, making her pigtails swing back and forth. Harry turned to look at the chards.
"The content of the drug in the new pills would be enough for Wilson's body to go into shock and shut down, especially since he had been using the other pills with the smaller dose." Harry said pointing at the screen. The others looked at him surprised for a second before going back to normal.
"But who would do that? The other members of the unit all described Wilson as a good friend." Tim asked.
"No, but they did say that Wilson was better at most things. Even better than Sergeant Dion at times. As the superior he would have access to all parts of the camp, including his students belongings." Tony said.
/Break/
It all turned out to be that Sergeant Dion saw it as his right to be better than the privates in his training camp and since Wilson had been better than his superior, Dion had switched his pills. Dion had hoped to make Wilson's achievement worsen to make his image better again, but had ended up killing Wilson instead.
A.N.
There you are another chapter. This one got a lot longer than it had started out to be but I think it went pretty well.
Harry's dream will all be explained in a later chapter.
Leave a review and let me know what you think. Have a great summer everyone!
