Anthony DiNozzo gave his favorite probie an encouraging push down the hallway. "Go on McScardy Pants."

Tim McGee looked at his partner. "There is no way I am checking to make sure if it's safe for you to go back to your desk."

"McGee, I am the senior field agent," Tony started.

"I know, DiNozzo. You tell me all the time."

"So do as I say. Make sure Ziva's not anywhere near my desk."

McGee rolled his eyes and walked around the corner toward his desk. He smiled at Ziva who was sharpening her knife at her desk.

"Is he still hiding?" she asked casually.

McGee smiled and sat in his chair before pretending to busy himself with paperwork. "He thinks you maybe trying to kill him."

Ziva smiled. "It is possible that I may be. But killing him would leave a mess and too many incident reports to fill out."

The two of them jumped as the sound of a slamming metal door sounded above them. They looked up to see Gibbs walking across the catwalk. He was halfway down the stairs when the door to the director's office flew open.

"SPECIAL AGENT GIBBS!" Director Sheppard yelled.

Gibbs paused for a second at the intensity of her voice before he continued walking down the stairs. As he walked toward his desk the two in the bullpen noticed he looked extremely calm. The two watched in silence as he grabbed his gun and badge before walking to the elevator.

As the doors opened, they revealed a furious woman. Still looking unfazed, Gibbs stepped onto the lift and the doors shut closing the former partners in together.

As McGee and Ziva stared at the lift, Tony decided it was now safe to go back to his desk.

"Do you have any idea what that was about?" Ziva asked when she noticed Tony was at his desk.

He smiled. "Nope, no idea."

Inside the lift Jenny turned to Gibbs. "You have to give him credit for coming up creative diversions."

Gibbs took a drink of his coffee and nodded. "Yeah. I hope he enjoys the repercussions just as much."

Jenny grabbed his coffee and took a drink. "Repercussions?"

Gibbs smiled. "You just yelled at me without a sufficient reason."

Jenny smiled and handed him back his coffee cup while visions of DiNozzo being headslapped danced in her head.

AN: I'm not sure where I meant to go with that, but when the fluffy plot bunny shows up, you have to go with it, right?
