A/N: Yes, I know I don't update frequently, it annoys me as much as it annoys you. Or maybe the suspense is good for reviews? :P Anyhow, enjoy!
Gibbs strode in from the elevator, and Tony looked at him for a while, trying to judge his mood and reaction to the hug. When Gibbs stared back at him, Tony blushed and continued with the paperwork he had carelessly let pile up while Gibbs was gone. Did that man not know that Tony just couldn't ithink/i when those eyes pierced him? Did he not understand the effect he had on the senior field agent?
After about half an hour, Gibbs left for coffee, and the team knew that when he got back, they would have to showcase the information they had discovered. Tony quickly set to work organizing the things he had found so that they could be presented quickly and without fuss; he knew how restless Gibbs could get with technology. He was also trying to work out how to present this without introducing a slight awkwardness between him and Gibbs, but as much as he tried, Tony would have to settle with giving his boss the straight facts. When Gibbs came back, Tony reflexively grabbed the controller from the edge of his desk, and waited.
"What've you got?" Gibbs asked, and Tony leapt from his seat, turning the monitor on, and brought up the identities of the three dead women.
"A connection between the murders, boss." Tony replied, eager to please Gibbs with the information, but trying to stall the sensitive part.
"Waiting for an invitation, DiNozzo?" Tony blushed and brought up the photos of the dead women's husbands.
Ziva stared at them. "They all look almost exactly the same," she breathed. "Brown hair, green eyes, everything."
Gibbs said nothing, only staring at the photos while Tony fired out the information as quickly as possible.
"...And all of these men contacted the police about being sexually harassed by a male stranger, just after they found out about their wives' deaths." Tony continued. "These weren't about the women, this was trying to make the husbands more vulnerable before attempting to... er..." Tony stuttered.
"Rape them, DiNozzo?" Gibbs finished for him. He noted how Tony was particularly embarrassed about a sexual harassment case today, smirking to himself.
"Yeah, that." Tony mumbled, before offering an idea to Gibbs. "I think, short of waiting for the next death and then following the husband to catch our killer, we need a setup."
