Chapter 2

The team arrived a few hours later on Easter Sunday. McGee was able to make it to a sunrise service before he made it in to work. He carefully put his pack down, opened his drawer to deposit his gun before he absentmindedly sat down. Something didn't feel right and he jumped up to survey his chair and found the remains of an Easter egg….a raw egg that had been dyed pink.

"What's going on," he muttered as he was rewarded with similar cries from his team mates, with the exception of Tony who looked horrified at the action.

"DINOZZO!' cried a very agitated Special Agent Gibbs as he stalked over to his senior agent with the remains of several Easter eggs in his hand; he had been lucky as his had been hardboiled first. "Explain this and why there are way too many eggs in my office?"

"No…they weren't left…." began Tony before he realized that he had said too much, and prudently stopped talking.

"I'm waiting DiNozzo," barked Gibbs as his agent began to babble,

"I knew something …happen, but she…listen to me…and now…not my…fault."

When Tony muttered 'she' Gibbs knew who his collaborator had to be and taking out his cellphone made a hurried call to the Forensic Lab. "Abby…I want you upstairs…NOW!!!!"

It was during this time that Ziva made a discovery…a live rabbit in her drawer…the drawer where she kept her firearm and ammunition. After seeing what Ziva had in her drawer Timothy carefully opened his drawer to discover it filled with eggs…decorated raw eggs as well as the plastic kind and several of the raw eggs had busted making for a terrible mess.

It was during this uproar that Abby made her appearance. "Happy Easter, guys…" she started to say as she surveyed the disturbance. "What's going on?"

"That is what we all would like to know Abby?" Gibbs said sternly as he showed her the remains of the busted eggs and the live rabbit in Ziva's arms.

"Well, I thought that the place needed some more decorating for Easter and Tony was kind enough to help me with the decorating," she began to explain.

When Gibbs heard that Tony was indeed partly to blame he turned his steely blue eyes back at him and glared causing Tony to exclaimed,

"No Boss; it wasn't my idea…she blackmailed me into helping!"

"Blackmailed, DiNozzo? What did you do to be forced to help in this fiasco?"

"I…" Tony paused as he considered his options before realizing that he was screwed whatever way he went and amended his earlier statement, "I was mistaken Boss; I did help her with the decoration."

Gibbs only stared at him realizing too, that Tony must have done something pretty bad to decide to take his chances with Gibbs over this incident instead of the one he was blackmailed for…he would have to discover that one later.

"Then explain why you two decided to decorate with real eggs and a live rabbit, too."

"There's…more than one rabbit…Gibbs," admitted Abby warily. "There is one in your drawer, too."

Gibbs turned around at the statement and stalked back to his desk to discover that his Forensic Scientist was right there was indeed a rabbit in his drawer and he had left evidence of his being there as well.

"DINOZZO!!! SCUITO!!!!" he roared as he stalked over to the two miscreants. "You two stay where you are…don't move…once we are by ourselves we are going to have a conversation about this."

Gibbs then went to his two other agents and said, "Go get cleaned up...take your cellphones with you. Don't return until I call you, Tony, Abby and I have somethings to discuss," and sent them on their way.
