[From Honor Code]

...

Claire's POV:

"Got it boss, black SUV, no rear window." Tony relayed to the rest of the team as he spotted the sedan with his binoculars.

"One visible suspect in the vehicle." He added, spotting the bald man sitting in the passenger seat. He and I were crouched down behind a small car on one side while the other three were making their way to surround the sedan in question.

"Should we take him out?" he asked, as I was ready to go beside him.

"Wait, were almost in position here." Gibbs informed as they were all getting into maneuvering around the garage.

"Copy." Tony muttered as he ducked down behind the car, handing the glasses to me. He shifted to sit comfortably while I watched the sedan.

"Are you sure you wouldn't rather be partnered with Ziva, I mean uh the two of you seem to click splendidly on this case." Tony quipped. I turned my eyes towards him in a glare. Ziva and I were the farthest thing at the moment as she insisted Zach's dad abandoned him to turn traitor.

"Shut up Tony." I growled at him before looking back through the binoculars.

"Well we're about to storm this vehicle, who knows what's going to go down. Don't want your head out of the game or anything." Tony pointed out.

"Don't worry Tony, I got your back." I assured him distractedly. Tony chuckled dryly.

"You've got my back…listen lady if anybody is getting anybody's back it's me getting yours." He informed me pointedly. I chuckled lowly and looked at him.

"Is that so?" I asked coyly. Tony grinned his crooked smile up at me.

"Oh most definitely." He agreed cheekily.

"In position boss." McGee muttered over the com, breaking us out of the mood.
