"Tony what was so important that you called me out of my lunch time?" Ziva stepped off the elevator and was shocked when she saw Tony standing next to a pair of kids who must have been twins. Each of them had sandy blonde hair, freckles, piercing blue eyes and we're about four foot nine maybe for foot ten inches. The boy had his hair cut short, a little longer than McGee's but had it spiked up in the front, it seemed like the most likely candidate was bed-head. The girl on the other hand had her hair about shoulder length with two braids, Ziva felt three sets of eyes on her and was curious about the children in the bullpen.

"Ziva, meet Zanebono and Valeria Mezzanotte," The kids waved at her and she waved back.

"Well actually, you can call me Zane,"

"And you can call me Val," Ziva noticed how strong of an accent the both of them had.

"I'm Ziva, what are you here for?" The twins looked at each other, than up at Tony before Zane asked something.

"Oh, what' s la parola. Prossimo su voi conoscala." [Oh, what's the word. Come on you know it] The girl rolled her eyes before responding.

"Siamo qui per l'interrogazione" [We are here for interrogation] Tony comprehended what they said before responding to their question in their native tongue leaving a confused Ziva in their wake.

"Nessun'non interrogazione che vogliamo appena comunicare con voi" [No not interrogation we just want to talk to you] Tony glanced up at Ziva who had her mouth agape, she didn't know Tony spoke fluent Italian. "Oh Ziva, you can't speak Italian I thought you spoke like a million languages, either way they said they're here for interrogation because these are the kids who called in about the body." Ziva nodded now understanding what was going on.

"Who's talking to them?"

"Gibbs"

"Where is he?"

"I don't know actually...he said he'd be right back" The kids suddenly peeked around Tony and Ziva to look at the approaching figure.

"Is that Gibbs?" Tony looked to see Val pointing at the silver haired marine.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Zane raised his eyebrows.

"He just looks like the boss," Tony suddenly looked insulted.

"Wait you don't think I look like the boss?" The kids looked up at Tony with bright blue eyes before shaking their heads with a simultaneous "no." Gibbs smirked as his senior field agent looked defeated.

"Are you Zane and Val?" Gibbs walked in holding two brown paper bags, the kids just nodded.

"Come with me," The twins exchanged glances, shrugged their shoulders and followed Gibbs up the stairs. Ziva looked over at Tony who had now taken a peanut butter sandwich out of his backpack.

"I did not know you spoke Italian," Tony tried to respond over a mouth full of sticky peanut butter.

"Ah didm't know you didm't speak it," Tony finished chewing, swallowed then repeated, Ziva just rolled her eyes

"Agent Gibbs, are we in trouble?" Gibbs pulled three cans of root beer out of the bag and three turkey sandwiches with lettuce and tomato.

"Nope, you guys hungry?" The kids nodded.

"Molto," Zane gasped as his sister elbowed him, "sorry very." Gibbs chuckled, these two were the living image of sibling rivalry. The three of them ate in silence with the only sounds being chewing, the opening of a can and then slurping.

"So Agent Gibbs if we're not in trouble, why are we here, we told the police officer everything we knew," Zane's blue eyes looked concerned as he looked at the older man, not sure if he should trust him or not.

"I just want to make sure I have all the facts strait." Val decided to answer this time.

"We had just come back to the orphanage on Monday night, Miss Candy told us to go do our homework, we were the only kids there that night because well there's only six of us anyway but that probably doesn't matter right?" Gibbs nodded but this time Zane continued.

"Anyway we heard some arguing going on downstairs, we snuck out to the top of the stairs and saw a man in dress whites trying to get Miss Candy to let him look in the basement," Gibbs nodded, he was starting to get a gut feeling.

"How long has Miss Candy been working been working at the orphanage?"

"Seven years," Zane responded.

"How old are you two?"

"Twelve," Val responded. Gibbs reached back into the paper bag and pulled out two chocolate donuts, he watched as the two of them gobbled them down enthusiastically.

"Would you to be able to tell an artist what the man looked like?" Val thought for a moment before nodding again. "Well I'll tell you what, I'm gonna call Miss Candy and you'll get to hang out with us for the rest of the day," Gibbs saw nervousness cross their faces, he was aware that they didn't trust his team.

"Well hello Probie, where have you been this whole time?" Ziva glanced up to see Tony looking at a visibly flustered McGee. In one hand Tony was holding a half-empty soda bottle and his phone with tetris playing in the other.

"I was down in Abby's lab, helping with evidence uh why do you ask?" Ziva raised an eyebrow, Tony was unbelieving of his story as well.

"Okay McLiar, what did you find out?" McGee glanced around the bullpen nervously when all of a sudden Tony was hit with a paper ball. "Understood boss!" Gibbs glanced at his watch, 3:45.

"Pack up Tony your driving Ziva and these two, McGee your with me, we're gonna go get Abby" Tony smirked as he picked up the car keys. McGee for the first time noticed the twins standing behind Gibbs. They were both wearing jeans worn out in the knee and Adidas Sambas. The girl was wearing a navy blue windbreaker and the boy was wearing a forrest green one, he was suddenly confused when the two started to rapidly converse in Italian. He was snapped from his confusion when he felt Gibbs smack him,

"Ya coming McGee?"

Tony watched as the twins picked up their identical backpacks with 'Mezzanotte' monogramed on the back. He laughed suddenly as he felt Ziva try to grab the keys from his hand.

"And what are you doing Zee-vah?" Ziva felt his piercing green eyes looking at her.

"I wasn't doing anything..."

"Were too,"

"Was not!" Tony suddenly felt a movie reference coming on.

"Why were you sneaking?"

"I wasn't sneaking!" The twins giggled as they realized what Tony was up to.

"You were sneaking," Ziva was starting to get irritated with him.

"I was not sneaking Tony!"

"Then what were you doing?" Ziva realized she had been tricked, she sighed,

"Sneaking," Tony, Val and Zane burst out in laughter, Tony was doubled over laughing and the twins were high-fiving him. "What is so funny?" Val managed to calm her hiccups before responding.

"You just perfectly quoted Golem from Lord of the Rings without even knowing it," She glared at Tony, she had been tricked and he had used a movie reference to do it, she promised herself she would get revenge.

Gibbs felt the awkwardness in the car between his forensic scientist and his probie, he just didn't know why and he hoped it didn't have to do with the rules. McGee stared out of the back seat window trying to understand what happened in the lab just a half hour before.

"Abby Gibbs wanted me to make sure you have everything you need before we head over to the Jeffersonian," McGee glanced into Abby's office having an odd sense of deja vu. Abby was changing her shirt revealing the large tattoo that was down her back. McGee felt his heart rate quicken.

"One second Timmy I need to grab something," Abby pulled a silver case out from behind her desk as McGee still stood in place, "See something you like McGee?" McGee gulped, he suddenly felt his throat go dry, he didn't trust himself to speak so he merely nodded in reply. He noticed a sparkle in her eye that he never noticed before, he suddenly realized that they were gradually moving closer to each other. McGee saw her lips part slightly and suddenly realized that for the first time in his life he was going to break a rule, and he couldn't have cared less. The pair was snapped from their trance when one of Abby's machines started to beep urgently, Abby pulled back first and McGee quickly recovered as well.

"I'm gonna go tell Gibbs your ready...Meet you in five..." Abby sighed as Tim practically cantered out the door to the lab and into the elevator.

"McGee we're here if you would like to get out of the car that would be great!" McGee glanced up and hurriedly got of the car. McGee noticed that Tony, Ziva and the twins were already there and that a car that looked suspiciously like the directors was also parked. He then noticed that Gibbs and Abby were already at the double doors, McGee saw that Abby was struggling with the case and he decided to be the gentleman his mother raised him to be.

"Here Abs I got it," Abby looked at him questioningly before handing over the case, much to her surprise he carried it with ease, he must have started to work out again, she thought to herself. Abby and McGee were the last ones into the building and went to stand next to their co-workers in the circle that had already been formed.

"Special Agent Seely Booth, this is Dr. Temperance Brennan, Dr. Jack Hodgins, Dr. Camille Saroyan, and Angela Montenegro." Booth introduced the staff of the Jeffersonian.

"Oh and I do have a grad student as well, Mr. Wendell Bray but he left to go pack for his upcoming trip back home for the holidays." The NCIS team nodded and Tony absentmindedly found himself smelling Ziva's hair.

"Special Agent Gibbs, this is Director Shepard, Very Special Agent Tony DiNozzo, Special Agent McGee, and our forensic specialist Abby Scuito." The squint squad snickered as they realized Gibbs snuck a 'very' into Tony's title, suddenly Angela noticed kids standing behind the leader.

"And who are these two?" Ziva smiled as she remembered their meeting in the park,

"This is Zane and Val Mezzanotte, they said they could describe the man's face and we thought they might be of some help," Angela grinned and Hodgins felt a ping in his heart.

"Oh you will most certainly be of help, why don't you two come with me and we'll get to work?" The kids nodded and followed Angela into her office, chatting about this and that.

"Our coroner will be here in about an hour, you wanna look at the bones now?" Brennan nodded and led the way to the silver table with the bones laid out.

"Hey Abby where do you want this?" Hodgins noticed the large metal case that McGee was carrying.

"Uh over here man, I can take that, Ms. Scuito," Hodgins picked up the case and led the way to his station followed by Abby who kept looking back at McGee. DiNozzo beckoned McGee and he hurried to catch up with the group. Brennan snapped on her gloves as the NCIS team plus Booth gathered around the cold, metal table.

"Dr. Brennan I told Michelle I would meet her for dinner I'll be back in about a half hour before the NCIS coroner gets here," Brennan nodded before starting to tell her findings about the bones.

"Here on the vertebrae there is an odd fracture that probably resulted from his neck being broken, however I noticed odd bone bruising on the long bones."Jenny saw that Brennan noticed something important, Brennan reached down to pick up the left femur but gasped as it started to crumbling sending bits of powder into the air. The teams barely had time to react before the alarm sounded and the doors locked them in. Gibbs sighed, he was gonna need another coffee.

Okay is it terrible? I hope you don't mind me adding the kids, anyway r&r.
