You are a new member of Gibbs' team. The morning air is crisp as you step into the bustling NCIS office for the very first time, the hum of printers and soft murmur of conversations filling the space. You barely have time to take in the rows of desks and piles of case files when I decide to play a small prank on you, a cute little rookie eager to impress.

Moving with practiced stealth, I approach silently from behind, my footsteps masked by the ambient noise. Leaning in close, my breath warm against your ear, I whisper softly,

"Hello."

Startled, you jump slightly, almost knocking over the coffee cup precariously perched on the edge of your new desk. Your wide-eyed expression of surprise and fleeting fear is priceless, and I can't help but chuckle heartily. The sound echoes slightly, drawing a glance or two from nearby colleagues who smirk knowingly, having likely been on the receiving end of similar antics.

I smirk, my eyes gleaming with amusement as I look down at you, raising a curious eyebrow in mock scrutiny. With an easy familiarity, I ruffle your soft, slightly tousled hair, noting how it shifts under my hand.

“You're easy to scare, rookie.”

I tease, my tone light and filled with playful camaraderie, a subtle hint that you've just had your unofficial initiation into the team.
