Rock Creek Park.
"Hey McGee have you found anything yet?" Ziva calls out as she ducks under the crime scene tape and walks over to him.
"You've not been gone that long." He grins up at her from his position crouched by a pile of leaves. She looks at her watch.
"Oh. The guy who found the body was so anxious to help I thought I'd have to hear his life story before getting away. Where is DiNozzo?" She pulls her gloves from her pocket and pulls them on.
McGee gestures vaguely at the surrounding trees. "Had to answer a call of nature." He resumes searching.
"Tony did?"
"Yes."
"And you just let him even though we have the site of a dead body to process?"
"Ah, I did. I mean he is the senior field agent Ziva. It's not that big a deal."
"You must be pulling my leg, yes? Tony has shown no interest in this type of thing before. Unless it is the birds and the bees of course." She grins. "You know I did research you all quite thoroughly."
McGee stands up. "What type of thing?"
"Nature. The environment. Trees, flowers, animals." Tim laughs. "What?"
"To answer a call of nature Ziva just means to relieve oneself."
"And Tony is so in need of relief he must seek it at work? I know he has issues but..."
"No, Ziva." McGee almost shouts, anxious to stop whatever she might say next. "Not that sort of relief. It just means to empty one's bladder."
"Oh."
"Have you guys finished searching already?" Tony calls out as he walks over to them.
"No."
"No."
"Then what is so fascinating you're talking and not working?"
"Nothing." Ziva grins at him.
"Probie?"
Between the option of answering Tony and the thought of what Ziva might do to him if he did his answer was obvious. "Nothing."
"Then let's get back to it."
