Chapter 01 – New Probie.

The elevator opened up and the team looked up to see a young man in black boots, dark blue jeans and a t-shirt covered by a sweater and a sports coat his long black hair in a braid and green eyes looking annoyed and lost.

Tony didn't know why but he looked familiar. Ignoring that for the moment he said with a cocky grin. "Can I help you kid?"

The young man's eyebrow went up and he smirked as he said. "I don't know old timer did you take your medication today? Or do you need your nurse to help you back to the home?"

McGee and Ziva both chuckled as Tony gapped.

Gibbs smirked and said. "You're the new Agent?"

The young man smiled and held his hand out. "Agent Gibbs I take it."

Gibbs shook his hand and said. "Agent?"

The young man smirked and said. "Nope, oh wise and intriguing one. I was told not to give my last name. So call me Harry."

Tim looked confused and said. "Why?"

Harry looked the man up and down and showing in his face that he liked what he saw. He smirked as he said. "Well Agent Cutie. I'm related to one of you lucky people and the powers that be want me to get to know him or her and then tell them."

Tim blushed and said. "I'm Agent Timothy McGee call me Tim."

Harry chuckled at the cute blush and said. "Ok McCutie."

Gibbs laughed and head slapped Harry and said. "Behave. The rest are Senior Agent Anthony DiNozzo and Agent Ziva David."

Harry grinned and shook Tony's hand then went and kissed Ziva's hand and said. "My dear you are a goddess. I am but a slave to your beauty. Please make my life worth living by letting me serve you."

Ziva chuckled at the young man and patted his cheek and said. "You are a shameless flirt."

Harry grinned as he said. "I've been a very bad boy Agent David punish me my goddess."

Tim, Tony and Gibbs rolled their eyes as Ziva laughed.

Tony said. "So if we can't call you by your last name what name other than Harry can we use?"

Harry grinned and said innocently. "Agent Harry Balzac at your service."

Tim and Ziva laughed when Gibbs sprayed coffee all over Tony.

Harry grinned and looked innocently at Tony with a 'what I do?' look on his face as Tony glared at him. Gibbs shook his head these two would either be the best of friends by the end of the month or kill each other. He gave Harry a desk next to Tim and told him to get to work on the paperwork for HR. He went up and had the first of many talks about his new Agent with Vance.

Over the next week the team worked cold cases as they got use to their new team member. Gibbs had told Vance they needed a last name to use for Harry but the man refused. At the beginning of the new week the phone rang and Gibbs said. "Gear up. Agent Harry your partner is McGee. Show him the ropes McGee."

Harry smirked and opened his mouth. Gibbs smacked the back of his head and said. "Don't even think about it."

Harry winked at Tim and said. "Of course not Agent Gibbs."

Tim rolled his eyes and grabbed his bag. He waited until they were going down the road and said his eyes on the road. "So Harry how exactly are you and Tony related?"

Harry froze and then blanked his face. He said looking out the window. "Never said we were McGee."

Tim stopped at a light and looked at him. He said. "Harry I watched you in the bullpen this last week. You flirted with everyone but Tony. I've seen you joke with him and you prank each other, which I admit was very amusing to see Tony dethroned as the prank master. I've also noticed you question whatever he says to the point of asking for a fight between you two but put that aside and take him seriously when needed. But you want to know the most disturbing thing is you are never alone with him. Me, Ziva or Gibbs is not an issue but Tony is for some odd reason. As a matter of fact you go out of your way not to be alone with Tony. I thought Gibbs was going to have a fit when you refused to get lunch with him the other day and sent you and me instead. But you watch him out of the corner of your eye and not in flirtatious way but with curiosity."

Harry closed his eyes and whisper. "Dam."

Tim was worried now and said. "I know we just met a few days ago but were partners now. I'm a good listener Harry and I'll be here if you need someone to talk to. I won't tell anyone anything I just told you or whatever we talk about. I give you my word. I just want to let you know what I noticed and see if I can help."

Harry sighed and said. "Tim I don't trust easy I've been betrayed one to many times. I'm not saying I don't want to trust you or dislike you. It's just hard for me to trust with new people."

Tim nodded and said. "Ok so we need to work on the trust thing. I can do that. So what's with the flirting?"

Harry chuckled and said. "Aw McCutie. I just think you're sexy when you blush."

Tim chuckled and said. "Ok brat. Bring it on. But remember pay back is a bitch."

"Aw Timmy boy are you challenging me, that's not nice. You don't want to awaken the prank master and invoke a prank war. You will be over your head and begging for mercy in no time." Harry said grinning.

Tim laughed as they pulled up on the scene. He said. "Follow my lead and stay out of Gibbs way in less he gives you a direct order. Tony is going to try and trip you up he does it to every probie."

Harry smirked and nodded then followed Tim.

The team worked the scene and Tim introduced Harry to Ducky and Palmer. Harry was given the task of helping Ducky and Palmer. Helping them load the body Harry said under his breath. "So does anyone here know we know each other Ducky?"

Ducky chuckled and said. "No my boy, well Mr. Palmer here does now. But not to worry he won't say anything. I'll leave it up to you to tell them."

Palmer jumped up in the van and turned and grinned as he locked the wheels on the gurney. "So I heard you flirt with McGee and Ziva? Why both?"

Harry smirked and said. "You mean I was only supposed to choose one. What's the fun in that? Aw is the little kitten jealous. Palmer I could make you a happy man all you have to do is agree to be my play thing."

Jimmy rolled his eyes and said with a smirk. "It's Jimmy and you'd head for the hills if I took you seriously. You're a shameless flirt but I have a feeling it's a front to keep people from getting too close. I wonder what you're really like under all that flirting. Oh well, I guess I'll find out later. For now go bug your team or something, Ducky and I have work to do."

Harry grinned and hid his nervousness that Palmer hit so close to the mark and said. "Oh you love it and want my body. One of these days you'll admit it."

Gibbs head smacked Harry and said. "He'll have to admit it later right now we need to get back. You and McGee are with Abby. Flirt with her and you're a dead man."

Harry gasped and held a hand to his chest in mock pain as if wounded and said. "As if I would go against our sexy but wise fearless leaders words of wisdom. Although you are kind of hot when you're angry and all hot and bothered, might be worth it."

Gibbs smirked and got up close to Harry's ear and said softly but loud enough it was heard by all. "Listen to me Boy. Flirting with McGee, Ziva and even Palmer is fine as long as it's playful and harmless. Just make sure they don't mind and if they do stop immediately, but you can't handle me probie. Keep making passes at me and I'll turn you over my knee and tan your hide little boy."

Harry froze and held his body tight as he listened not moving his face blank. The moment he could he followed a chuckling Tim to the car.

Harry ignored Tim once in the car and wouldn't acknowledge he was shaking. Harry leaned his head against the window and faked sleeping until they pulled in the parking lot of HQ.

Tim thought something was going on with Harry and he was being stubborn. So he turned the heat on and just left him alone. But decided to ask Ducky to have a look at him later it wasn't that cold and his partner might be getting sick. Completely unaware that he was right but not for the reason he thought.

Gibbs watched Tim leave with the new probie. Glad the kid had been put in his place but his gut was turning at the way the kid froze and blanked his face, that wasn't a normal reaction. He shrugged making a mental note to talk to Ducky later.
