Rules of M-TAC

Memo: Due to recent events rising in M-TAC which cause complaints. It is necessary to point out what is no longer allowed in M-TAC. It is unbelievable that I need to put this in a memo. But as I'm afraid that I have a bunch of children other than Special Agents these rules will be stated clearly… These rules aren't in any particular order. Since each one is as important as the next.

Usually, I'm a pretty laid back Director. Somewhere I have to draw the line. Not everyone is to blame but in order to end this, I have to punish all NCIS agents. I will not name the parties responsible for this course of action…

NCIS Director Leon Vance.

Rule: Don't send coded messages to Fornell saying you know what he did last Summer and if he doesn't stop it we'll post it on YouTube.

Tony and McGee virtually twiddled their thumbs in M-TAC since they were bored out of their brains waiting for a conference call from the NCIS LA branch. Tony looked at McGee and wondered if he was as bored as he. McGee was looking at the ceiling and trying to not fall asleep.

"Are you bored, Probie?" Tony asked.

"Yes, Tony," McGee sighed. He wondered how on Earth they were going to pass the time.

"You want to do something to pass the time?" Tony asked in a mischievous tone and he had a grin to back that assumption up.

"I'm only even entertaining the idea because I'm bored," McGee responded. Anything had to be better than just sitting there and warming up the seats.

Tony thought for a moment. "I wanna send a prank message," he said. Sure that's what he wanted to do. Not just a prank message but a coded prank message. Not too just anybody but somebody," Tony waggled his eyebrows.

McGee sighed. He had just become an accomplice. "You already have someone in mind don't you?" He stated.

Tony smiled as he turned back around. Dean Jones was working in M-TAC and was usually willing to do whatever Tony wanted. Within reason of course. "What did you have in mind?" McGee asked.

"I haven't annoyed Fornell for a long time," Tony said. It had been ages since he talked with anyone from the FBI.

"No wonder they keep accusing you of murder, Tony," McGee laughed as they stood up and approached Dean the technician who looked at them nervously.

"Hey, Dean," Tony greeted innocently. "We were wanting to send a message to FBI Agent Fornell. Can you send it via a basic code that even he could crack?" He asked. McGee really hoped that Tony was joking about the whole thing.

"Yes…" Dean responded slowly. "What do you want me to send?" He asked.

Tony hastily scribbled something down on a piece of paper and placed it in front of Dean. "What? You want me to say that? There's no way I'm sending a message to Agent Tobias Fornell saying, 'I know what you did last Summer and if you don't stop it you'll go blind' there's no way!" Dean shook his head.

"Come on," Tony whined.

"No," Dean was defiant.

"How about, 'We know what you did last Summer and if you don't stop it we'll post it on YouTube," McGee asked.

"Alright," Dean responded. That didn't sound too bad to him. "Would he even know what YouTube is?" He asked.

"Somebody will tell him if he has to ask what it is," Tony said. He slapped McGee on the shoulder causing him to jump slightly. "Now you're part of the guilty party, Probie. I go down… We both go down," Tony said and this caused Dean to laugh.

"That means you too, Dean," McGee reminded him.

"Not really. I'm here to do what you tell me. I'm just doing my job," Dean grinned. "Message sent," he sent the message off before the two could change their minds.

3hrs Later

Vance had been speaking intently with someone at NSA. As soon as he had finished. FBI Agent Fornell came on screen. He never looked happy at the best of times but now he looked even more pissed than usual.

"What can I do for you, Agent Fornell?" Vance asked.

"I want to know why NCIS is threatening to put my personal life on YouTube," Fornell snapped at Vance. He had a love affair and somehow the people at NCIS had found out and were going to publish it. Sure they had their run ins in the past.

"I assure you… We have no idea what you're talking about," Vance responded as he kept his cool.

"Don't play games with me Director. I received a coded message from you guys saying that they knew what I did last Summer and would post it on YouTube," Fornell's eyes narrowed.

"I don't know what the hell's going on but I'm going to get to the bottom of this," Vance assured the FBI agent before the screen went blank. It was a serious occurrence for sure and had to be dealt with appropriately but on the other hand it was so damn funny.
