A/N: Glad you guys are enjoying these. Am trying to post more often but it takes a while to come up with each story. Also any suggestions will be written up with the suggestee credited. This next chapter is taken slightly from an actual episode but tweaked a little.

#8

It had been a long week with no cases, Gibbs and the Director out of town and Tony in charge. All the paperwork had long been finished and the team were struggling to find anything to entertain themselves with.

That was when Abby came up from her lab with McGee. They were having an animated discussion about a video game.

"I could beat your high score anytime McGee." Abby said as they walked into the bull pen.

"Oh really? Maybe I should challenge you to a round or two tonight after work?" McGee said indignantly.

"Why wait McGee? We could play it now. In MTAC." Abby replied, a mischievous grin creeping onto her face.

"Abby we can't just hijack MTAC to play Counter Strike. Gibbs would kill us." McGee said looking around for Gibbs in case he happened to walk in.

"What's wrong McGee? Chicken? Or maybe you're afraid I'll beat you." Abby grinned heading towards the stairs.

"You won't beat me Abby." McGee said following her. Ziva and Tony exchanged a glance. Ziva shrugged with a "what else is there to do?" kind of look at Tony.

Almost four hours later and Abby had all but destroyed McGee's record. Even Tony and Ziva had gotten in on it and they were currently in the middle of a two on two match. Abby and Ziva were pulverising Tony and McGee.

"McGeek you're supposed to be good at this game. Why aren't we winning?" Tony said as Ziva came up behind his character and killed him.

"Tony I'm trying to sneak in just keep them distracted." McGee replied.

"Little hard to distract people when he's dead, McGee."

Everyone froze, then slowly turned around. Gibbs and Director Vance were standing behind them.

"Uh Boss this isn't what it looks like." McGee stammered.

"Then what is it like Special Agent McGee?" Vance asked. McGee stood opening and shutting his mouth like a fish, trying to think of how to word it.

"We had nothing else to do Leon. So we played some video games. It's fine." Vance turned his steely gaze from McGee to Abby.

#8 MTAC is not to be used for playing video games.
