Bullpen.
'Hey Nick, are you feeling okay?' Mcgee asked.
'Yeah, why do you ask?' Nick replied.
'Well, I was passing by the cafeteria earlier, and I heard you grumbling about how 'it was all for nothing'? Just wondering if everything is okay.'
'I don't feel like discussing it.'
'Well okay, but just so you know, there's a hidden camera there, so whatever is is you were talking about, I can easily look it up.'
'Dude, seriously?! Where would you even hide a camera in there?!' Nick exclaimed.
'Eh, you'd be surprised.' Mcgee shrugged.
Sighs. 'Okay fine! If you're really so curious, I broke this very pretty looking teapot that took me a very long time to get at home, and I was very upset about it! Heck, I even got a cut on my middle finger trying to pick up the glass!'
'Uh, okay. I have questions, like: What's someone like you doing with a teapot?'
'Ellie was talking about this old teapot that her mom had when she was a child, and I figured I'd try and find it for her. Took 2 weeks of scrounging through antique shops, and then 1 very intense online auction, but I got it! Until my clumsy self broke it.'
'Ouch. That sucks. Did you keep the pieces? Maybe I can help you glue the pieces back together.' Mcgee offered.
'Real kind of you, Tim. Yeah, I kept the pieces, but be warned, there's quite a lot of pieces!' Nick replied.
It took them half the night, and almost 2 tubes of glue, and a couple of small cuts, but they got the pot back together.
'Thanks for all the help, man!' Nick said in gratitude.
'You're welcome. And also, there's no hidden camera in the cafeteria.' Mcgee replied.
And Ellie loved it, even though a couple of the pieces looked a bit out of place.
