Disclaimer: I own a pair of steel-toed combat boots, not Tim and Tony (which I'm pissed about, I want me my NCIS boys!)

Someone would have to explain later why he was hanging upside-down like a piñata from a tree branch. Until then:

"McGee!"

Tim wasn't even trying not to laugh at the picture Tony made. The man's face was going red, his arms were hanging uselessly, and his ankles were tied together as Tony tried to find a way down.

"Nice job DiNozzo, you found a bear trap."

Tony's glare would have been more intimidating if his face didn't resemble a tomato as the blood followed gravity.

"I'm going to kill you, Probie."

Tim grinned with unholy glee, "I know, now hold still and try not to break your neck." He pulled out his pocket knife and started sawing through the rope.

"Honestly, Tony, only you could get caught in a bear trap this simple."

"Yes, I'm positively hysterical." Tony gave him a dry look, "Aren't you supposed to be the nature expert, McBoy Scout?"

"You're the senior field agent shouldn't you be more aware of your surroundings?" he was halfway through the rope.

"I-" Tony let out a 'yelp' as the rope snapped and Tim winced at the loud thump his friend hit the ground.

"Tony?" a groan met his inquisition.

"Probie."

"Yeah?"

"You should start running."

oOo

BONUS DRABBLE!

Tim felt like he could dance; he found the body. He had found the body, all on his own!

The only thing that made that moment better –ignoring the fact that they'd had to find someone's corpse- was that despite Tony's nonchalance, McGee could see the glimmer of pride in the senior field agent's green eyes.

That alone made him grin like an idiot.

oOo

A/N: Thanks to HaremPriestess, I now know that that final snippet is from the episode: 'Hide and Seek' from season 6. Thanks again!

Anyways, I've got finals this week so I won't be able to write, but I plan on updating something in a couple weeks. Love ya!
