I don't really like this chapter (the next one is better, but not much) so I am giving you two at once.
Tony felt weird. He hadn't vocally called McGee a McNickname since Ziva disappeared. He had done so before Ziva got there, so what made him stop? He didn't know.
"Agent?"
Tony looked up. A man and a woman were standing there, wearing guest tags. "Yes?"
"I'm Agent Seeley Booth and this is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan. I called you earlier about Ziva David."
"Yes."
"We want to ask you a few questions. Is there anybody here that didn't know Ms. David?"
"Yes. Agent Penny LaBasca." Tony gestured towards the desk that used to be Ziva's.
"Who is your boss?" "Team leader is Agent Gibbs, director is Director Vance."
"Is there anybody else here that could answer some questions?"
"Agent McGee. Our forensic specialist Abigail Scuito. And Ducky, I mean Dr. Mallard. our ME, and maybe his assistant, Mr. Palmer. "
"That it?"
"I think."
"Where is Agent Gibbs?"
Tony looked towards Gibbs' desk, then back to Booth. "Coffee run."
Brennan stifled a laugh. "Reminds me of someone I know."
"Who?"
"Me, and practically everybody else at the lab." Gibbs walked into the bullpen. "DiNozzo."
"Yeah, boss."
"Who are they?"
"FBI."
"Ziva?"
Gibbs Gibbs-slapped Tony. Then he sat down at his desk, taking a giant swig of his coffee.
"What was that for?"
"Not telling me."
Booth and Brennan shared a look, a look saying 'this place sure is weird.'
