Keeping Up
“Hey, Gibbs,” said McGee, picking up a screwdriver and twirling it around.
Gibbs plucked it out of his hand and steered him back toward the workbench, careful of the sling holding McGee’s sprained right wrist. “Yeah?”
“You keep building all these boats,” he said, gesturing with his good arm and almost toppling over. “But have you ever actually been out on one?”
“Not in a long time,” Gibbs admitted. “You know, you didn’t used to talk this much under painkillers.”
McGee smiled, dopily. “I’m Senior Field Agent now, gotta keep up traditions.”
Gibbs snorted and went back to his sanding.
