Here's the next installment. As always, I only own the OCs.

"Ducky, tell me about Tony," Martie inquired as she speared a baby tomato onto her fork.

Ducky set down his fork and clasped his hands together. "Tony's an excellent field agent; he used to work in homicide in Baltimore. He loves movies and it seems he has a movie quote for just about any situation," he said as he resumed eating his fettuccini.

"But what about relationships?" she asked as she moved her salad to the side and started eating her baked ziti.

"Well, my dear, he has commitment issues. The last time he did try to have a real relationship, well, let's just say it didn't end well. It would be a safe bet to say that he's reluctant to have another go at the commitment thing," he said.

"How'd it end badly?" she said softly, biting her lip.

"All I'm going to say is that he was undercover and when his cover was blown…What's with all the questions, Martha? Has Agent DiNozzo tickled your fancy?" Ducky asked, curious.

"No, no not in the least. It appears that I have tickled Tony's fancy," she rolled her eyes.

"Ah, it'll be just a phase, my dear. Anthony takes an interest in any good looking girl. He'll leave you alone in no time," he said reassuringly.

Martha wasn't so certain about that.

"Hey George what's new?" Martha asked as she walked towards her desk. She worked under Agent Michael Balboa and George Thomas was just one of her partners. Her other partner was Jesse Masterson.

"Not much, Martie. I'm currently looking up the bank records of Mrs. Stonewell," he said as his eyes scanned his computer screen. With his dark hair combed back, he was another version of McGee, but not as geeky.

"You think she's connected to her husband's death?" she asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah. For a loving wife of fifteen years, she isn't doing much grieving," Jesse said as he walked in.

Jesse, with his blond hair and blue eyes, could charm the pants off of any woman. That's where the similarities with Anthony DiNozzo ended. Jesse was happily married with his second child on the way.

"Have you looked up the husband's life insurance policy?" Balboa asked.

"No, but I'm on it," Martha said as she sat down at her desk. She picked up her desk phone and punched in some numbers.

Looking up, she noticed one Special Agent DiNozzo staring at her from across the room.

She definitely had a feeling this wasn't going to be just a phase.
