Work Text:
Sid looked up from the report he was writing to see Mac, his team and
a group of strangers enter the morgue. "How can I help you?" he asked.
"Sid, this is Special Agents Gibbs, DiNozzo. McGee, Officer David,
Forensics Specialist Abby Sciutto and their M.E. Dr. Mallard from
NCIS. They're here to identify the body of Director Shepard." Mac told
the M.E.
"Right this way." Sid led them to table with a sheet covered body.
Hesitating before he lifted the sheet. "I think I should warn you that
the body is in an unusual condition."
Gibbs just glared at him, "We've seen bodies before. I doubt that this
is something we haven't seen before."
Sid lifted the sheet, the only sound was a collective gasp from Gibbs
team and "She's green." from the one named McGee.
Gibbs looked at Mac, "Where was her body found and what was the cause
of death?"
"Her body and that our M.E. Peyton Driscoll were found drowned in a
vat of green water in a candy factory that recently closed."
Sid spoke up, "It wasn't just green water, it also contained about
five times the amount of citric acid used to make sour candy then is
normally used."

Later that evening in a little out of the way restaurant the
conspirators clinked their glasses together in celebration of a job
well done. "Ziva I loved the green color."
"Thank you Lindsay. I felt it was fitting seeing as how they were
both suffering from the green skinned monster and I love the sour
stuff you added."
"You're welcome. I think you mean green eyed monster, although in
this case I think green skinned is correct and why not both their
attitudes were a bunch of sour grapes thinking that Mac and Gibbs
couldn't love anyone but them.
"I agree Gibbs and Tony belong together as do your Mac Taylor and
Danny Messer."
With that they went back to enjoying their meal.
