Chapter 2

"What are we in now?" Ziva asked again.

"Where gonna try out the Jetpack that's in the evidence garage." Abby said clapping her hands and jumping up and down.

"SHhhhh!!! Tim and Tony said together.

"We can't talk about this anymore in here. We have to find a safe place where there's no chance of anyone else overhearing our plans." Tony said.

"Elevator!" the girls said together. The boys nodded and they all rushed over to wait impatiently for the elevator to arrive on their floor. Ziva had big reservations about this but would go along with it for now anyway. Finally the familiar ding signalled the arrival of there own 'cone of silence'. Bustling to all get inside and shut the door before Gibbs got back from MTAC they were tripping over each others feet in the process, which nearly resulted in an altercation before they'd even had a chance to discuss their plans. Tim surprisingly was the one to bring the bickering to a halt. "Hey!" he shouted, suddenly bringing three sets of narrowed eyes to rest on him. "This is a once in a life time opportunity here guys! Come on!" Abby and Tony continued to slap at each others hands and Ziva rolled her eyes at their immaturity. Tim grabbed Abby's arm as she was about to take a big swing at Tony and pulled her around beside him and away from her target. "Knock it off Abby!" he said.

Narrowing her eyes and putting her face up very close to his she retorted. "Did you just give me an order McGee?"

"Yeh, I guess I did." He said.

"Oooh. I love it when you're bossy McGee, it turns me on." Tim grinned.

"Ok you two, important matters at hand." Tony said. "Ziva. You in or out?

"Gibbs will kill us if he finds out." She said.

"Scared Ziva. Is little Ziva scared of getting her bottom spanked?" he said. Ziva grabbed his arm and twisted it up behind his back.

"OH, oh,oh,oh,oh." Tony said in a high pitched voice. "Alright, you're not scared......Crazy chick."

"Okay! Everybody done now, let's take a breath and calm down.......................Feel better?" Tim said. "On to the important stuff. The Jetpack! We're gonna have to do it tonight when everyone has gone home."

"What about security?" Tony said.

"A problem. I know! I could use last night's footage from the cameras and put it up on a repeat feed while in effect closing off the cameras to what is actually happening. If they check the cameras they'll think they're looking at the evidence locker tonight when in fact they will be looking at the evidence locker last night.

"Where is the best place to try it?" Abby said.

"Ideally outside somewhere, but I don't really think we should risk taking it off the premises."

"The roof!" Ziva said. "So long as you have enough faith that it works McGee?"

"OH Ziva, I have every faith........"

"Yeh, yeh we get it McGee! Don't need to hear it all again. The Power point presentation was informative enough." Tony said. Abby nodded her head vigorously.

"So, how do we hang around with out Gibbs knowing that we're still here?" Tim asked."We'll have to move our cars off the premises if we're going to fool Gibbs that we've gone home.

"There's lots of spare rooms down on my floor. You three can pretend that you're going home, park your cars at the mall and then, come back and hide in one of those rooms. Tim can you set up one of my computers with surveillance of the parking garage?" Abby asked him.

"Shouldn't be a problem." He said his mind obviously ticking excitedly.

"Great! Then I can come and get you when the last of the cars leave the yard."

"Sounds like a plan Abs." he said kissing her cheek.

"Alright! Great job Abs!" Tony said catching on to Tim's excitement. "And what do you have to bring to the table Zi-va?"

"I will be holding the remote when it is your turn." She said smugly.

"No way!" he said.

"And when you are in air Tony, you are going to stop me from getting it how?" she said with a smirk.

Tony growled at her.

"You two have to stop bickering and focus." Tim said.

They glared at each other but stopped. Tony hit the stop button and the elevator lurched back into movement again. "We can't all get out together, if Gibbs is back he'll be suspicious. You stay in here and get out at the bull pen Ziva. Tim you got to Abby's lab and I'll get out there too and use the stairs.

"Geez Tony, anyone would think you were good at sneaking around." Tim said with a grin.

"Well I am trained Federal Agent Tim!" he said acerbically.

"And what are we Tony?" Ziva asked.

"Getting out at this floor Zi-va." He said giving her a little push as the doors opened at the bullpen, quickly pressing the shut button before she could get back in. Next the elevator opened at Abby's lab and the remaining three got out. Tim went into the lab with Abby and Tony took the stairs, two at a time, until he reached the bullpen. He straightened his tie and calmed his breathing as he walked through the squad room door, directly into Gibbs.

"Like to tell me Dinozzo, why you stayed in the elevator instead of getting out here, went down to Abby's lab only to take the stairs and come straight back up here?" Gibbs said staring straight into his eyes.

When you lie be specific, Tony thought to himself. "I've lost ten dollars Boss, I thought I might have dropped it on the stairs."

"Did you find it?" he asked eyeing him intently.

"Um. No Boss. I didn't."

"Too bad. Where's McGee?" Gibbs asked.

"Abby's lab." Tony answered like he was in court.

"Doing?" Gibbs asked sarcastically.

"I don't know boss. McGee and Abby stuff I guess." Gibbs eyes widened in disapproval. "Work related McGee and Abby stuff, I'm sure. Something to do with a cold case, something Abby needed him to look at, some kind of computer codex thingummyjig that she needed help with. Very important I'm sure Boss." He said.

"Get him on the phone and tell him to get back up here. Now!" Gibbs said loudly.

"On it Boss!" Tony said darting off to his desk.

Gibbs smirked. Oh , this lot were up to something, he just had to figure out what.
