Crap. This was Supervisory Special Agent Reid, Ziva’s…boyfriend. McGee still had issues with that one, but nowhere near the size of Tony’s. The man hadn’t shut up for three weeks after Ziva had ditched him and the other FBI agent to go on a date with Reid. McGee privately suspected that Ziva threatened Tony into silence-the man hadn’t teased her about her “geeky studmuffin” for the last two weeks.

The relationship is just as confusing when seen from NCIS perspective. Ziva, however, does her own threatening.

“You’re dealing with a serial bomber, right?” Reid questioned. “I deal with serial offenders all the time. It doesn’t make any sense for me to go home.” He pulled a chair up to McGee’s desk, “Can you show me the locations of the previous bombs?”

Fretting doesn't accomplish anything. Unleashing the awesome, on the other hand...

“This is breaking one of his rules Probie, which is way worse than breaking one of Vance’s,” Tony replied after checking to make sure they were alone in the room. 

“Which one?” McGee asked curiously. Though he had worked for the man for over five years, Gibbs’ rules were still a bit of a mystery-he only learned new ones when he broke them.

“Rule thirty three-never let the FBI do what you can,” Tony recited dutifully.

McGee grimaced. Yeah, this was going to be hard to swing. “What if we tell him we were following rule eighteen?”

God, you have all the characters' voices down pat. You really should consider writing a nice, long CM/NCIS xover, with or without R/Z, because I have the feeling it could almost dethrone your SPN/CM one (it would still win thanks to the giant lizard and possessed!Prentiss, though).

When Reid finally entered the interrogation room, both NCIS agents were surprised. Gone was the quietly confident man who had entered looking for Ziva. Instead they saw a pale man, his body obscured by the stack of large binders he was awkwardly balancing in front of him, with several file folders precariously stuck under his arms. Agent Reid staggered to the table and dropped the binders with an audible thump.

Reid's awesome is of a quieter nature than Ziva's but just as strong. Trust the genius, guys.

Reid glared at him and waved the folder in front of his face. “If you consider finding out where the next target is a huge waste of time, then yes I can understand why you didn’t like it.”

Ooooh! Bitchy!Reid, one of my favorite Reids! I'm sorry Ziva didn't get to see the pwoning of Tony, but I'm sure McGee will spread the tale.

Reid grinned. “I like maps and patterns,” he replied. “And Stoddert’s a classic narcissist-Agent DiNozzo’s intimidating, I’m not. He let his guard down enough for me to narrow down the location. The folder was a bluff and it worked. Tell Ziva I went back to my place when you find her. I’ll have dinner waiting.”

Reid can be very smooth. How he manages to be geeky and cute at the same time is yet more proof of the awesome.

Thank you for yet another great fic, it's always a pleasure to read your works. Good luck for your schoolwork!

My favorite thing to write is bitchy!any character ;)

McGee will certainly not let this story die, not matter how much Tony would like him to.

Thanks for reading! And thanks for the luck on school work!
