May 6
There is no one else I'd rather have with me on life's little escapades. You're my favorite partner in crime!
Jenny resisted the urge to giggle as she crept down the stairs. She wasn't being particularly stealthy – it was very difficult in high heels and when everyone in the agency kept an eye out for her – but she did her best.
She was aware of just how stealthy the man next to her could be. Back when they were partners, Jethro had constantly appeared out of nowhere and she had gotten used to turning around to find him there. With a six year gap between them, her radar had become a little rusty.
She wasn't even sure why she was doing this. It was all Jethro's fault. It was 0645, they were probably the only two people mad enough to be at work so early, and he had told her about Tony's latest wager on them.
They had both laughed about it, until Gibbs suggested getting revenge on him. Jenny had not been able to resist the idea and had willingly handed over her superglue.
And so she found herself in the squad room. They reached Tony's desk, confident that they were the only people around. However, Jenny knew from bitter experience that people liked to show up at the worst possible times, so she appointed herself the role of lookout.
When Jethro was finished, he tugged her over to his desk. She perched on the edge, grinning at the thought of watching their plan come to fruition.

She waited a good five minutes, feeling like a ghost. Gibbs ordered his team to pick up where they had left off the day before, leaving her to her own devices. After she felt confident that enough time had passed, she stood up and made her way to Tony's desk.
"I believe you may have sat in some superglue," she told him.
Tony immediately tried to stand up. She shot a grin at Jethro as Tony continued to struggle, before heading back to her office. She didn't think Tony would cross them for a little while…
