Chapter 10 - Impatients

After what felt like forever it was time to receive their gifts from their team mates. Abby was bringing them up, with the help of Ducky. She had suggested that everyone drop off their gifts in her lab and that they were all to be put in matching bags so no-one could identify their own gifts from the others. She even decided to not go for name tags on bags but only on the gifts themselves. This was to stop peekers like Tony; one year she had to buy him a gift and he had seen the silver bag with his name on it in her lab, the others were different colours, he then proceeded to route through it. Abby was not impressed to say the least and banned him from her lab for 2 weeks. This year she had been cunning and locked the lab every time she left to get lunch or go to the toilet.

Tony had been complaining all day that they should have exchanged gifts in the morning. He was bored doing his paperwork so decided to play a game on his computer - he had to stop Santa's evil twin, Sainty Claws, from ruining Christmas - he was doing rather well too. 'THWACK' A pen ht his head, "Ouch!" he cried out.

"DiNozzo, if that game is still on your computer in the next 5 seconds, you will be here tomorrow finishing everyone's paperwork." Gibbs said from behind his screen. A snigger from McGee and Paula.

"Yes boss." he said as he closed the game down. "Where's Abby with the presents? I wanna see what I've got." he continued his whining.

"It'll be a stack of paperwork if you don't shut up!"

"Argh, I'm bored. I want my gift."

"Really, Tony? We hadn't noticed since you've been going on about it all day." Kate remarked sarcastically - he was doing her head in.

"Oh, sorry Mrs Grinch!" he bit back

"Can it DiNozzo!" Gibbs barked.

"Sorry Gri- err Gibbs." DiNozzo stuttered.

Before anyone could say anything else Abby bounded in to the bullpen followed by Ducky, presents in hand.

"It's about time!" DiNozzo jumped up from his seat like a child at…well Christmas.

"Calm down Tony…or you're not getting yours until last.

"Oh, but I want mine first!" he pouted.

Abby handed out the bags and ordered everyone not to open them until Christmas morning. She actually threatened DiNozzo!
