Special Agent Ziva David squinted hard at Tony; she scrunched her nose then asked him: "What on earth does he have against animals? This is outrageous---I'm going to confront McGee—"
"Confront me about what, Ziva?" SA Tim McGee asked as he suddenly appeared beside Tony.
"McGee—why are you abusing small animals? I would have never guessed this of you!" said Ziva, standing so close to Agent McGee her ample bosom brushed his arm.
McGee, well aware of Ziva's soft breasts pressing against him stuttered, "W-What are you talking about? I've never hurt a living creature in my life! Who accused me of this?"
As if he didn't know. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Tony's smirking face.
Ziva continued: "How could you hit a defenseless chimpanzee?"
None of this made any sense. McGee took a deep breath.
"Ziva, what did Tony tell you?" he asked, dreading whatever answer she would give him. There was no way to know what nonsense Tony had told her.
"You obviously have a serious problem, McGee...two nights ago you choked your chicken until you fell asleep—I for one, had no idea you even had pets---then last night, Tony said you were slapping your monkey all night...how long have you been abusing the little guy?"
McGee's face reddened as Tony laughed out loud.
Suddenly, Gibbs, walking by them in full stride said, "Ever since he discovered how to make 'the little guy' spit, Ziva...grab your gear – we have a dead Petty Officer in Georgetown...let's go, McGee – this is no time for a circle-jerk."
"Tony, I'm going to kill you!" McGee said glaring at DiNozzo.
"Not now, McWanker, we're riding with the boss...you can sit in the back with Ziva – maybe she'll pet your lizard on the way," said Tony.
Ziva stared at McGee with astonishment and asked, "You own a lizard, too?"
:SHOTGUN!" shouted Tony.
"You can't call shotgun in here," protested McGee.
"Already did, monkey-boy!" shouted a triumphant DiNozzo.
The three Special Agents had learned long ago to not pay too close attention to Gibbs driving if they didn't want to get frightened out of their minds. Each agent had a special way of coping with the ride to a crime scene.
"You know, boss," SA DiNozzo began: "A Petty Officer in Georgetown makes about as much sense as a Rockefeller on skid row, or better yet, Julia Roberts living in Beverly Hills in "Pretty Woman."
"Is that so, DiNozzo?" asked Gibbs, staring straight ahead.
Ziva heard Tony begin to ramble and decided not to listen. Since she never went to movies, she became easily distracted whenever he spoke. She was more interested in McGee's seemingly insatiable habit of self-abuse.
She slid next to him on the leather seat until her leg was firmly pressed against his.
McGee had been dreamily staring out the car window until the warmth of Ziva's hot flesh interrupted his thoughts.
