Chapter 3

Once the squad room had been empty of agents Gibbs turned his face back towards his two 'kids' and only said three words, "CLEAN THIS UP!" but said it with enough force to send shivers down Tony's spine.

"Yes, boss," replied Tony as he immediately got his waste basket and began to empty the eggs he found within. Abby joined her fellow prankster and began to help in the general clean-up.

They were so focused on the project at hand that they didn't see Gibbs as he return to his desk, take out the ruler or stalk back to their side. Tony felt the first lick when he bent over to pick up the remains of the egg left in McGee's chair.

"Yeeowwwwwwchh," he cried as the lick hit him dead center on is buttocks and radiate the pain to the fall reaches. "Boss!!" Tony cried as he jumped up and faced Gibbs noticing the ruler for the first time.

"By the time Abby heard the yell she too had experienced one to her bottom as well, "Owwwww….Gibbs, we were only trying to make it look nicer in here for Easter," she cried as she rubbed her bottom.

"Make it nicer with colored raw eggs, Abs? You are supposed to hard-boil them first…even I know that," exclaimed Gibbs as he surveyed the mess in McGee's drawer.

"Raw eggs? What are you talking about? I hard-boiled the eggs I colored," Abby said as she defended herself.

Abby and Gibbs turned as one and looked at Tony who paled as he said, "I didn't know you were supposed to hard-boil them first!"

"Figures," muttered Gibbs as he continued to smack one and then the other during the whole clean-up whenever a bottom made itself available. By the time the desks and floor were spotless both Tony and Abby were sporting two very red and sore bottoms.

Gibbs gave the place one more glance over before opening his cellphone and calling his troops back to work, "McGee, you and Ziva can come back…I doubt your work area has been this clean for some time."

"Hey Abs," Gibbs called out suddenly after hanging up on McGee, "what did you use to blackmail Tony into helping?"

"Oh, he continued to try and break into my locked drawer after you warned him not to," replied Abby without thinking…

"ABS…NO!!!!!!!!!" shouted Tony a moment too late.

"DINOZZO!"
