".....he still enlists McGee, with a warning to keep the reports “in character.”

It’s nice to have an actual writer on the team. "

hehehe- that's brilliant! I never thought of that , but I can totally see it on the show.:)

Seriously, it was a very late piece of inspiration. I had the idea of Fornell doing his reports and Gibbs watching him, but wasn't sure where it was going from there. Thanks to my muse. And thank you for reading and commenting.

For some reason each and every Israeli I know personally (like, two handfuls of them) has a much better written and spoken English than I have. Still, it maybe never reaches native speaker standard.

I wish my husband would help me find so good titles.

Ziva's struggle with American idioms is one of the running gags on the show, although they've downplayed it a bit lately. It was funny, I told him the theme of the story and he immediately came back with the title and it was, in fact, perfect.

Hee! Love it!

I guess it wasn't hard for Gibbs to make them in character for Franks - they're so much alike! XD

Thanks! Good point. Franks could definitely trust Gibbs to do it right by intuition. McGee probably has to work harder to "channel" Gibbs. (Maybe that's how he started writing the books?)
