Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.


It had been rare slow day for the team so when the phone rang both Tony and Ziva's heads popped up. Their first glance was towards Gibbs' desk, finding it empty they next glanced over at McGee. All three where a little stunned to realize it was his desk phone that was ringing. With a quizzical look at the other two, he picked up the handset. Silently, Tony wheeled his chair closer, trying to hear the conversation.

"Agent McGee...Yeah....Uh....Okay...." a glance shot in Tony's direction, " I'll be right down." Hanging up the phone he stood up.

"Who was that?"

"No one." McGee called as the elevator doors closed, a smile on his face. Tony glanced over at Ziva, who had her eyes on the computer screen in front of her, a small smile playing on her lips. He began tapping his fingers on his desk.

"Wonder what that is all about?" Ziva looked up at him, shrugging her shoulders. "I am sure that if McGee wanted you to know he would have told you." He contemplated that thought for a second. Shaking his head he said," Nope don't think so." Grabbing his phone, he jogged to the back elevator, calling behind him, "I'm gonna find out." Ziva rolled her eyes.

A few minutes later, Abby strolled into the bullpen. Looking around, seeing only Ziva she asked," Where is everyone?" Ziva leaned back in her chair,looking at the other woman.

"Gibbs is in MTAC with the Director, McGee got a call and went downstairs and Tony just could not stand not knowing where McGee was going so he followed him." Plopping in McGee's desk chair, Abby spun around a couple of times stopping she said," A mysterious call,hmmm."

Exiting the elevator he looked around trying to spot McGee. Not having any luck he walked over to the Security desk.

"Hey,Charlie. Did ya see where Agent McGee went?" The older man looked around then back to Tony." Sure did Agent DiNozzo. He and the woman who had me call him down went out the front door a few minutes ago." Raising an eyebrow Tony asked," A woman? You sure?" The guard nodded.

"Yes very sure. Talked to her myself."

"Thanks, Charlie." Tony called out as he headed toward the door.

Pushing it open he stepped out into the bright mid day sun. Squinting slightly, he gave his eyes time to adjust. Looking around he didn't spot McGee immediately. Walking out toward the sidewalk he looked right then left. He saw nothing. Then he spotted someone who looked like McGee across the drive,sitting with a red haired woman on one of the park benches in the park area. Tony smiled, he knew he had to get a closer look to make sure.

Walking down the sidewalk, he crossed the street. The coffee cart was the only thing close to the bench so he got in line. Aiming his cell phone he zoomed in. Yup, he thought,definitely McGoo. He snapped a few shots of him and the mystery woman. Fiddling with the phone, he got it switched to video in time to catch McGee leaning in and hugging her. Zooming in he got a clear shot of the woman's face.

"Gotcha McSneaky." The woman in front of him turned around glaring at him. He smiled his oh so famous DiNozzo smile and her face softened. Tony chuckled to himself. Winking at her, he stepped out of line. He looked back to make sure McGee hadn't spotted him then headed back to the office.

Out of breath by the time he reached the third floor, he rushed to Ziva's desk. "Found him.. with a woman..got pictures..and video."

"Tony, I cannot believe you actually followed him." Abby raised an eyebrow at her. "Okay, well maybe I do."

"Oh come on Ziva, you know you wanna see." Abby set forward at McGee's desk.

"I don't know about her but I sure do." Tony turned at the sound of her voice.

"Oh hey Abs. Didn't see ya there." She smiled at him, holding her hand out, wiggling her finger. "Hand it over. I'll put it on the big screen." Walking over he placed the phone in her upturned hand. "Here ya go Abs."

She hooked the phone to McGee's computer, hit a few keys and the first picture appeared on the screen. Silently Ziva crossed the bullpen, standing on Tony's right side. He turned and looked at her.

"What? So maybe I am curious."

The first picture featured Tim sitting on the bench close to an older red haired woman who was smiling. The next few where similar. Clicking the controller Tony moved on to the video. Both the woman and McGee were smiling. At one point she reached up and smoothed some hair at McGee's temple. The video ended with McGee leaning in and hugging her. Tony paused the video. Chuckling he said," Looks like McRomeo has a new lady and she's older too. Plus she's got red hair. Looks like the Boss's taste in women are rubbing off on Probilicious ."

"We do not even know who she is, Tony."

"Ziva. Come on it's clear they have a special "Connection". He said while making air quotes. Beside them Abby was strangely silent.

The elevator doors opened and McGee stepped out a smile on his face. Spotting him Tony smiled and clapped.

"Way to go McCougar Bait. She's a bit older but I gotta say she's hot. But way outta your league."

"What are you talking about?" Tony clicked the controller and the video began to play again. The smile dropped from McGee's face. His eyes shot to Abby, who frowned and turned away. Quickly heading back to her lab.

"Abby wait..." He called out. She didn't stop. As he rushed past Tony and Ziva he said," As usual Tony you don't know what you're talking about." They both followed Tim. Reaching the elevator he reached out and stopped the doors from closing. He stepped in beside Abby.

"Don't listen to Tony."

"Well, I'm happy for you. But I didn't know you liked older women." They where both so engrossed in their conversation neither notice Tony had placed his foot in front of the door, stopping it from closing.

Ah, Abs. Come on it's not like that." She crossed her arms over her chest. "Then what us it like McGee?"

"She's..." Tim glanced up, noticing them standing there listening, he leaned in whispering the rest of the sentence in her ear while nudging Tony's foot away from the door. A huge smile spread across Abby's face as the doors closed. Leaving Tony and Ziva shocked.

"She's what?She's who?" Tony yelled, pounding his fist against the door.

"DiNozzo! Ya got a problem with the elevator?" Tony turned around, stunned to see Gibbs standing behind them.

"Not at all Boss."

"UmmHmm." He said as he walked over to his desk. Sitting sown he glanced at the screen.

"DiNozzo!" He called out.

"Coming boss." As Tony came around next to Gibbs' desk he pointed at the screen. The last shot of the video still paused on the screen. Ziva gave Tony a quick glance and sat back at her desk, pretending to be busy. He chuckled nervously. "Just trying to keep my investigative skills sharp,Boss." Gibbs nodded his head.

"Well don't use them on McGee. It's his private life. Butt out." Tony clicked the screen off.

"Yes boss." Reaching over he disconnected his phone from McGee's computer and sat back down at his desk. Still wondering just who the woman was.
