In Washington, DC in the office of a specific building on a certain floor was silent, except for the usual chatter coming from the center of the floor, where two young men were sitting at their desks taking part in their regular conversations. The two of them didn't know their boss had walked out of the elevator until he was practically on top of them, the two of them looked up just in time to see him past their desks; they both couldn't help but notice something was seriously missing. What could it be, his hair was brushed, his clothes were like they always were, but what was it that was missing? The Italian continued to look his boss over hoping to spot what was missing from his usual appearance, and that's when it finally hit him

"No coffee today boss?" he asked

"No DiNozzo, no coffee" replied Gibbs sounding discontent when saying the last part.

"Didn't you know Tony, all the imported coffee that was shipped to Canada when we got that horrible weather that covered all of United States and Mexico are being held at the border" states McGee

"Is there something wrong with the beans?" asks Tony.

"No Tony. It seems that the company that's to deliver it, is under suspicion of trafficking narcotics with their shipments" states McGee

"How do you know all this Probe?" asks Tony

"I have my sources" McGee turns his attention back to his computer trying to hide a slight smile I wonder how long it will take for him to figure it out

"What source? Who is she Probe?" asks Tony, leaning forward in his chair so that he almost made it appear as he would fall out of his chair if he leaned any farther forward.

"What makes you think that my source is a girl?" asks McGee, without taking his eyes off from the computer screen.

"Oh Probe, I didn't know that you went that way" states Tony moving back in his chair putting some space between them, making it look as if he would flip over if he leaned back to far.

"What?" asks McGee, he sounded kind of surprised as he heard Tony's statement; he didn't have the chance to react or turn from his computer

"His source is the news reporter DiNozzo" states Gibbs

"I knew that" replies Tony, in his so never convincing voice

Gibbs takes a step forward and while Tony was still facing McGee he moved his hand ever so graciously and smacked it against the back of Tony's head. "Ow" Tony starts rubbing the back of his head.

"Sure you did Tony" replies McGee, keeping his eyes on the screen trying to hide a small smile that was starting to form on his face.

"I really did know that" states Tony, as he continues to rub the back of his head.

Gibbs sits down in his chair lightly chuckling to himself, he knew that he wouldn't get another coffee until it was released from the border and then there was still the travel time that it would take to get here. Of course he couldn't deny that he wanted one, even passing by his usual coffee shop on the way to work didn't help the urge to want to go inside, he had to admit he felt a little off without it, and would be hard to work without one. He listened to the two of them go on with their regular ranting, he shook his head slightly before standing up and making his way down to the lab, to see Abby. Arriving to the usual loud music lab, but this time it was quiet and I mean really quiet, seeing Abby sitting in the computer chair slumped over on her desk with her head down. She's taking it harder than I am he reached down and pats her shoulder

"Abbs?" he asked

Abby lifts her head up slightly, just enough so that her chin is resting down on the desk "Gibbs I want one..."

"I know, hopefully we won't have to wait much longer" he tried his best to cover the overwhelming sigh that was creeping up on him. "You just have to replace your annual drink with something else till we can get you one."

She jumped up from her chair and returning to her usual energetic self "you're right, I just have to find something else for the time being" with that she was on her way out of the lab leaving him where he stood.

He found himself walking to the morgue to see his old friend I think I should take my own advice and find something to keep my mind off it. Entering into the cool room, he spotted Jamie Palmer cleaning the tables after completing the last autopsy. Doctor Mallard was busy telling his assistant one of his old stories, he had just glanced over at the door when it had opened, seeing Gibbs walk into the room. He immediately could see the difference from last night compared to now as he looked much worse, as yesterday was the last of the caffeine that was in his system or rather what he was able to get his hands on. He doesn't look all that good, but then again he practically lives and runs on caffeine which makes it harder as he knows that there isn't much he can do for him

"Ah Jethro, what can I do for you?" Ducky asked

"Nothing really Duck, I just needed to get away from those two before I do something that they will make me regret" answers Gibbs, as he walks farther into the room.

"They mean well, so don't let them bother you" states Ducky in his regular cheerful tone of voice as he walks towards him.

Abby had gone upstairs to the office floor in hope to find Tony at his desk, but unfortunately he wasn't there, but instead found McGee sitting at his own desk typing away at the keyboard. She walked up to his desk

"Hey McGee"

He looked up from the screen seeing her standing right in front of him "what can I do for you Abby?"

"Do you know where Tony is?" asked Abby in her normal naizzly voice

"He said something about going and getting something to eat, he should be back in a bit"

"Thanks" she turned and left, returning to her beloved lab without saying another word figures I have a favor to ask and he's never around.

Not much longer does Tony return to the office carrying 2 takeout bags from his favorite diner, he sits one down on his desk "Probe" he hands him the other bag, before sitting down at his desk.

McGee takes the bag "Thanks Tony" he places it down on his desk "oh right before I forget Abby was looking for you, she didn't say why"

"Is that so, I can only imagine why" Tony's mind began to wander to who knows where.

"Aren't you going to see what she wanted?" asks McGee

"I'll go down later after I'm done eating" Tony replied as he started to stuff his face.

Gibbs began his way back to the office floor, even though at this point he would have much preferred to stay in the morgue listening to Ducky's tales rather than having to go listen to the other two talking about nothing important, sure he did it every day but most days he would have a coffee with him to help keep his sanity. Arriving on the floor he found that McGee and Tony were having some sort of stupid dispute about something, but unlike most days where he could careless he found himself on his last nerve and the closer to them that he walked the more temper mental he was becoming. He was like a bomb that the time was counting down a bit too fast to his liking, he was taking deep breaths hoping that it would slow down the time, but in reality it did the reverse

"WHAT IS GOING ON?" and he exploded.

The entire room fell silent, everyone stopped working and looked on, oh sure they got used to listening to his outbursts towards his team but nothing this severe. Both Tony and McGee almost appeared like 2 small dogs retreating in fear, at the tone of his voice, neither could find the strength to look him in the eye, rather both retreated back to their seats as they were standing in the middle of all their desks. I've never seen him so mad before McGee did his best to not say anything that would cause Gibbs to yell even louder cause he was almost certain that he could.

This proves that rule about messing with a marine's coffee. I hope they release it from the border soon, because I don't think that anyone will survive this, especially us. Tony sat down keeping his sight on the carpet he looked more like a dog that was going to be punished the McGee did, after that he never spoke a word unless it was necessary hoping that the marine would return to normal.

Abby met with Ducky not much longer after Gibbs had left the morgue to return and check on the other two. Seeing that Ducky looked a little worried, she decided to follow him, finding that he was going up to the office floor, to discover that his hunch was correct that the darker side of Jethro Gibbs subsided. His glare was like a million knives had just stabbed Tony and Tim, the ME took one step farther into the room I haven't seen that side of him in a long time. Come to think of it, I can't think of a time that this type of situation has occurred before.

Please Review as they are what fuel me while I'm writing. Even if there short I still enjoy reading them.
