"Come in, Red leader!" called out a voice over the speaker, McGee was at home playing an online games with some of his former MIT classmates. It was 11.30pm. He was in a white shirt and boxers. He had never felt more comfortable. Then he heard a familiar sound but he couldn't recognize it. It was coming from his front door, he looked at it and then a thought came to him, a thought that scared him a little, his door was being picked. Just like the time Kate and Tony came into his house unexpectedly.
"Be right back, Red 2!" McGee said over his mike. "Affirmative" replied his friend.
McGee stood up and took an umbrella. Then the door opened. McGee took a step back. Then he saw the most horrifying thing ever. It was Tony, and he had his bags with him. McGee's jaws dropped but he couldn't find anything to say.
"Probie! Glad to see me?" asked Tony as he helped himself in with his bags.
Is it raining in here?" asked Tony. McGee looked at the umbrella he was holding and put it down. But he still had nothing to say.
"Tony!" said McGee when he could finally speak again, and he was furious "What are you doing here? This is crazy! This is a break in!"
"Oh come on! It's just one night!" said Tony and he put down his bags next to McGee's couch
McGee folded his arms and paused for a moment. Then he said
"Ok, just one night!"
"Now, may I know where is your shower?" asked Tony. McGee pointed him to the direction of the restroom and Tony took one of his bags with him as he walked to it. McGee went on to resume his game.

McGee was really into his game. Was not aware of anything around him. His games were where he could escape to after a long day of work. He loved his job, he did. He is thankful that he got transferred to NCIS. Despite the fact that Gibbs loved to whack the back of his head and both Kate and Tony enjoyed picking on him…well, actually, Tony enjoyed picking on him more than Kate. But in these games, it was his territory. In here, he's the boss. But suddenly, his imaginary world was interrupted…his awareness was brought back to the real world, he was interrupted by Tony's singing.
Tony was in the shower. McGee was sure, he could here the sound of water hitting the ground like rain. And Tony was singing. Well, not exactly singing. But it was not humming as well. It was more like…well…noise! Tony was making noise. He had no melody. He sung no lyrics. He was just going "La La La….mm…mm…ya…La La". And he was doing that really loud. So loud that McGee's friends could hear him on the other side.
"Red leader! What is going on at your end?" one of his friends ask.
"It's nothing! Just an annoyance" he replied
"Sounds like an American Idol reject!" said McGee's friend as he laughed. McGee laughed as well as he took out his headphones from his drawer attached to his table and plug it into his computer. It felt better now. Tony's voice didn't sound that loud now… though he could still hear him.

McGee went to bed around 2am. Tony went to bed around 2am as well, but that was after Tony had broke one of the many black disc that McGee had in his collection. McGee threw a fit. But there was nothing he could do. And around 1am, some of McGee's neighbors had gone to see McGee about the noise his TV was making. Tony was watching a show and had turned up the volume.
At around 4 am, McGee was awakened by a loud noise. He tried going back to sleep. He tossed and turned several times, but it was just too loud. He got out from bed and opened his bedroom door. The sound grew louder. He walked out to see Tony sleeping on the couch. Snoring like a pig. After being rudely awakened in the middle of his sleep, McGee was not in a good mood. He walked to Tony and pulled Tony's pillow from under Tony's head. And then he used it to wake Tony by whacking him repeatedly and shouting, "Stop snoring!" Then he threw the pillow at the shocked Tony and walked back to his room. Tony was clueless about what just happened.
