Abby runs into the bullpen clutching her Caf-Pow in one hand and a box of donuts in the other. McGee was sitting at his desk, Tony's old desk, playing a video game when she ran in. "Is he here yet? Is he here yet?" "Abby, do you think I'd be playing this game if he was? I will call you as soon as he gets here, okay? I promise." Abby groans sitting beside the computer screen munching on a donut, "What if his flight was delayed? Or worse. What if he missed his connecting flight?" McGee shrugs not looking away from the screen, "Well, then, he will be here tomorrow." "Not good enough McGee. A team needs a leader. He's our glue. He's our- our spine. Without him, we're like phylum Cnidaria." McGee finally glances up at her, "Jellyfish?" "Exactly." "You saying Beckett and I are spineless?" Abby furrowed his eyebrows placing the toe of her shoe on his chair between his legs pushing him away, "Of course not Timmy. I'm going to check his flight." McGee sighs watching her type quickly, "Abby you're getting powder all over my keyboard." "What's your point?" "My point is, uh Abby, you are really, really overdoing the sugar thing again." Abby cocks her head to the side, "Well I'm eating for two." McGee's face fell as he hunched forward to meet her eyes but she smiled, "Relax. I was referring to the health food freak over there." They both turn to see the new agent, Special Agent Lee, sitting at McGee's old desk eating a carrot. "Every time I walk past her desk I have this irresistible urge to shove a cheeseburger down her throat." McGee shrugs looking over her shoulder, "I think she's kind of hot." "Oh you think she's hot?" "Yeah, you know for a probie." Lee didn't bother glancing at them when she stated, "You two do realize I can hear you, right?" Abby straightened, "We do now, very Special Agent Lee.... his flight landed on time! Where is he?"
Just then the elevator dings and Abby runs over meeting Tony who was holding his usual coffee with Beckett by his side. Abby smiles throwing her arms around Tony's neck tightly, "Oh yay! You're home! Welcome back, I missed you!" "I missed you to Abby." "Oh did you have fun? Did you go to that cool bar in Dusseldorf?" Beckett smirked walking around them nodding to McGee and Lee before sitting at her desk. Tony cleared his throat trying to speak, "Well, I tried but you know, the security conference kept us pretty busy. I'm having trouble breathing Abby." She released him still smiling wide as he cracked his neck, smiling at McGee, "McGee. Look at you. All grown up. So what'd I miss the last two weeks." "Well nothing Beckett and I couldn't handle boss." Tony nods setting his bag down on his desk, Gibbs old one, and winked at Beckett, "Good, and to think the Director didn't have any faith in you." McGee looked offended but Tony was quick to cut off his stuttering when he announced he had gifts. He pulls out a silver cross necklace with red diamonds handing it to Abby, "For the lovely lady." "Oh! Tony it's beautiful!" "Not to mention incredibly expensive. Euro's stronger than it used to be. For my, senior field agent...." he hands McGee a CD. McGee freezes, "The Very Best of David Hasselhoff." "You don't like it?" "I repeat, The Very Best of David Hasselhoff." Beckett bit her lip looking between the two as Tony walked forward smacking the back of McGee's head. "What was that for?" "You listen to Yanni. And you have an unauthorized game on your computer." Beckett titled her head as she pointed to Tony, "But it's your game." "Yeah well he shouldn't have beaten my high score. And for Ziva, Das lederhosen. One size fits all. Where is the uh, little Israeli?" He asks as he hangs the German romper with suspenders over her chair.
Lee takes a small step forward, "Late sir, second time this week." Tony turns and claps his hand together, "Agent Lee. My favorite probie-slash-hall monitor. I bet you're wondering what the newest team member of Team DiNozzo gets. Well, we saved the best for last here..... this was not easy getting through customs but," Beckett watches him slip his stapler from his desk making it look like he took it from the bag. Lee takes it with no emotion to her face, "A stapler?" "It's a German stapler." "But it says 'Made in China' sir." Beckett hides her smile behind her hand as Tony leans down to look closely at it, "Oh yeah. Well, German, Eurasian, China. It's a global village, Lee. Get used to it." Lee sighs placing it down, "She's over an hour late sir. That's unusual even for her." Tony slips the necklace over Abby's head before pointing to Lee, "What did I tell you about worrying probie?" "That it's uh, your job." "See you're learning." Tony walks behind his desk and Lee follows until he snaps making her walk back around to the front, "But she's not answering, I'm sorry sir.... she's not answering her cell phone either." "Okay, there is only one thing you need to know about Officer David." "Don't make her angry." Beckett hums nodding her head, "So, technically there's two things." Tony nods looking between the ladies, "The other is- she can take care of herself."

McGee sat at his desk with Tony standing behind him and Beckett by the short room divider as he left another message for Ziva. Tony sighed behind him, "Okay, now I'm starting to worry." "Think she's all right?" Beckett looked down at McGee, "If she was all right, she'd be here." Tony looked lost in thought as he asked, "The question is what would Gibbs do in a situation like this?" Director Shepard walks up behind him quietly, "He'd find her Tony." "I'm working on it Director." Shepard rounded the corner standing in front of the desk, "Work harder. Metro Police just found her car on a sidewalk in Georgetown." McGee sat back in his chair, "Uh, actually that's not that unusual with Ziva's driving." "Yeah, I drove all the way through Eastern Europe with her- I should know McGee. But in my experience, the FBI doesn't usually concern themselves with traffic accidents." They all looked towards the elevator where three FBI agents just stepped off of, one of them being Agent Sacks who believed Tony cut off the woman's legs months ago. McGee caught that too, "Tony, isn't that the guy that tried to put you away for murder?" "Yes it is, and thank you for bringing up a painful memory McGee. You knew they were coming Director?" She smiled holding her hands up, "Calm down Tony, I only just got the call two minutes ago." "What do they want with Ziva?" Beckett smiled to herself hearing the protectiveness in his voice. She looked at the Director knowing she didn't know either so she looked at Tony reassuringly, "We're going to find out. Together." Shepard smiled at them all, but the smiles fell when they learned there was a warrant out for Ziva's arrest. The warrant was for espionage, and murder.
