Disclaimer: Go Disclaim yourself!
Authors Note: This is part 2 of chapter four, it is all about the NCIS Team. Sorry for the delay, did not know what to write to be honest so I spent all day watching episodes of NCIS to get an idea. It worked:-)
Now on with the story.
Chapter Four, Part 2
'' So Elf Lord, what do ya wanna watch first?'' Tony enquired as he opened one of his bags and poured a selection of DVD's onto his bed. McGee sighed loudly, ''Tony we don't have time, Gibbs gave us 45 minutes to unpack and meet him back at the campfire. ''Finally a campfire where I can toast Marsh-mellows,'' Tony chimed in as he unzipped a second bag. ''Did you seriously bring one bag full of DVD's?'' McGee asked in disbelief shaking his head as he spoke. ''Did you seriously not bring any DVD's McBoring?'' Tony countered, Tim groaned at his nickname. McGee unzipped his bags and carefully placed all his neatly folded clothes in his sectors of the closet. Tony was bewildered by how neat and precise everything was, he sniggered as he placed his piles of clothes in his part. ''Why so cautious McGee, scared they're gonna get dirty?'' ''With you Tony, anything could happen, now come on lets go.'' McGee replied as he headed to the door.
Things in Abby and Ziva's cabin was going smoothly too until Abby started poking her nose into Tony and Ziva's lives again. ''All I'm saying is that I'm sure Gibbs would be fine with it. If not he'll have me to deal with.'' Abby explained as Ziva placed her book on her night stand and her piece under her pillow for safety Abby hesitated when she saw Ziva do that. ''You sure you need that Zi?'' She asked after a minute or two. ''I may if you keep poking your finger in,'' Ziva laughed. ''It's nose Ziva, and anyway I'm just saying if anything were to happen.'' Abby reassured her friend. Ziva sighed loudly as she picked up a pair of sweats and a baggy long T-shirt and walked into their bathroom to change. Minutes later she reappeared and noticed that Abby had too change, she was now wearing another skull styled top and black pants. ''Cute Tee Zi,'' Abby complemented her friend as they walked towards their door. ''Well lets get this under with.'' Ziva whined. ''Over Ziva'' Abby laughed as she corrected Ziva as her friend locked their door behind them.
Gibbs just arrived at the campfire moments before their guide joined him. ''Hello there sir, my name is Aaron Snider and I will be your Team Building Guide.'' Aaron stuck his hand out as he greeted the silver fox. ''Hello Aaron, my name is Special Agent, Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Don't call me sir, just Gibbs.'' Gibbs replied. ''Alright then, Gibbs'' Aaron started, ''Where is the rest of your team?'' Gibbs moved towards the log benches, ''they should be...'' He began but was interrupted by a bouncing Goth ''Here Gibbs'' she finished his sentence for him. ''Sorry we're late boss.'' DiNozzo added. ''Tony took us the wrong way...'' McGee informed their leader. ''Shut it McSnitch'' Tony snapped. Ziva giggled but then stopped when she noticed Gibbs was staring at them all, not looking at all impressed. ''This is Aaron,'' Gibbs diverted his attention to Aaron, who was now feeling beyond awkward. ''Hi guys, we will start activities tomorrow morning, so tonight you can all get a good nights sleep and be refreshed in the morning. There's a lake down there where you can bathe, be aware that there's another team out here this week too. The first activity will begin at 9:00 so don't be late. I'll see you guys tomorrow, night!'' Aaron explained then walked off down the path. ''So what now, its 6pm boss'' Tony said to the group. Gibbs turned his attention back to his team, ''you heard the man, get a good nights sleep. For now, do what you want.'' Abby turned to Ziva and smiled ''Come on lets go explore!'' She started pulling at Ziva's arm. ''You guys want to come?'' Ziva asked the rest of them. ''Sure Ziver! DiNozzo? McGee?'' Gibbs was now facing the two men. ''Alright then,'' they both answered with a sweet smile. ''Yes'' Abby shouted as she grabbed McGee with her other hand and started pulling him and Ziva down the forest path. Tony and Gibbs chuckled and followed close behind.
A few hours later they returned as the sky turned black. They were all sat around the campfire that Gibbs had created with Ziva's help. Abby was sat next to McGee on a log bench; Ziva was sat in between Gibbs and Tony under Abby's scrutiny. Tony felt Ziva's body tense when she realized Abby was studying her and Tony carefully. Come on Tony think. Defuse the situation carefully. What if Gibbs realizes too, do something. Tony thought for a couple of minutes then spoke, ''who wants to come back to mine and McGeek's cabin to watch a film, I've brought loads.'' McGee nodded, ''I can vouch for that!'' He laughed remembering how many Tony had actually brought. ''I will,'' Abby answered in a sly voice as she turned her attention back to Ziva again. ''Gibbs?'' McGee asked his boss who simply shook his head. ''Nah, not tonight thanks.'' He replied in a low voice, McGee turned to Ziva ''I agree, not tonight. I will be heading to my room now. I will see you in the morning everyone.'' Ziva said slowly as she got up not taking her eyes off Abby. She started walking back to her cabin, fumbling with her flashlight she shot a quick glance at Tony and then Abby who was now focusing on Tony rambling about which films he brought.
''And on that note...'' Gibbs stood up and threw a bucket of water over the flames to extinguish them. ''The breakfast club it is then,'' Tony replied to Abby after their discussion on what to watch. ''Night boss.'' Tony said to Gibbs who was being hugged by Abby. ''Night Gibbs'' She said as she let go, ''night Abs, McGee.'' He nodded to Tim who replied with a simple ''Night'' then they all headed into Tony's cabin. Gibbs unlocked his door, and picked up his sweats and another white t-shirt as he walked towards his bed. Meanwhile things in Tony's cabin were just starting up, Abby and McGee had pushed both McGee's and Tony's beds together and were now laid on them. Tony inserted the DVD into the slot and joined his friends on the beds. Abby couldn't hold it in much longer, ''So Tony, any plans for this trip. Anything you'd like to share?'' She asked as calmly as she could manage. Ziva wouldn't have said anything, play along DiNozzo. He thought before answering as calm as Abby was, ''No why, what about you guys?'' He answered with a smile as he got settled. ''No, I... ugh,'' Abby replied now frustrated she was getting no where. The film was only half way through but Abby and McGee had fallen asleep. He looked at his two friends and thought silently to himself, they think we are the ones hiding something... Tony got up from his spot and turned the film off. He found some spare covers in the closet and placed them around Abby before he climbed in bed and he too fell asleep.
Ziva woke up to beautiful sunshine seeping through the window and peaceful silence, which was disturbed by the sweet sound of birdsong. She shuffled around for a minute or two then decided to get up. ''Abby, what time is it?'' Ziva asked, only to be answered by silence, she looked over to Abby's bed and saw that it was still the same as it had been when she came in alone, last night. ''Abby?'' She asked again. Ziva got up and went into the bathroom to get changed after walking around the whole cabin to find her Goth friend. She emerged out of the bathroom in tight dark green shorts and a baggy grey t-shirt. She put on her sneakers and placed her sunglasses on and walked towards the door. It was still locked and the key was on her night-stand. Where are you Abby? Ziva thought as she unlocked the door and stepped out into the warmth of the summer's day.
