NCIS Squad Room.
"Hi Ziva. Where are the guys? I thought since there's no case at the moment and it's such a nice day we could all go grab some lunch. We haven't been together outside work for so long and I think..."
"Abby!" Ziva interrupts in exasperation. As much as she loves the forensic scientist sometimes her talk and walk a mile a minute style was a bit hard to take. "DiNozzo and McGee are in court."
"WHAT? Are they in trouble again? How come I don't know about this?" She glares at Ziva.
"It is O.K. Abby. The jury was due back sometime this morning on the Lieutenant Thompson case and Commander Coleman called to tell them so they could be there. You know they put so much effort into that investigation they wanted to be there to see the end."
"Oh."
"And here they are." Tony and Tim walk past Abby and sit at their desks.
"So what happened guys? Did they put the baddies away? Did they? Did they?"
"You really need to cut back on the Caf-Pow! Abby." Toy grins at her. "And yes. Thanks to the brilliant work of yours truly the bad guys did get put away. Commander Coleman did a nice job too and the judge threw the book at Lieutenant Thompson."
"That could really hurt."
"What was that Officer David?"
"Did it hurt?"
"Did what hurt?"
"Lieutenant Thompson. Was he hurt by having a book thrown at him?"
"Ah, no Ziva. That just means that the judge came down hard on him. Imposed the maximum penalty possible."
"Oh."
"After what that s-o-b did I'm really glad we got this result."
"Me too. Well done Tony."
"Thank you Officer David."
"Me three."
"Thanks Abby."
"So now can we go to lunch? I'm starving. I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." They head towards the elevator with Tony and Abby slightly ahead of Tim and Ziva. Ziva leans into Tim and whispers "Abby eats horse? Is it a delicacy?" Tim sighs. Introducing Officer David to idiomatic expressions was obviously going to be an ongoing process.
