Hey Readers! Sorry that I haven't been uploading on Getting Through the Pain! Anyways, this story has been nagging at my mind for like, EVER! I've been writing it for awhile! Here it is!

P.S. I don't want Tony to die! I was just wondering what Ziva would last say to Tony and vice versa!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything! They belong to DBP, and Agent Ross is not real, so do I own him?

Probationary Agent Jeff Ross and Agent Ziva David walked into the elevator. A question had been nagging at his mind. He flipped the switch to stop the elevator. Ziva turned, "What is

wrong?" "I was succeeded by Agent DiNozzo, right?" he asked her. She gulped, took a deep breath, and replied, "Yes. Tony was the agent before you." Jeff noticed how she was hesitant

in her answers, and considered backing out of the question. But he went on, "What happened to him? Agent DiNozzo?" Ziva knew that this question would be coming sooner or later. She

just didn't think that she would be asked. After a few moments of hesitation, Ziva answered. "Tony died in a gun fight against Mossad. Gibbs was also injured, but McGee wasn't hit."

Agent Ross looked confused. "Mossad? Israeli Mossad?" Ziva explained. "Yes. Mossad's best officers were involved in the fight." Agent Ross was more confused than ever. "Wait, you

know who the Mossad officers were?" Ziva had forgotten that he didn't know about her being Mossad. "Yes. I did." Ziva said solidly. And then, she confessed. "I was Mossad before I

joined NCIS." The Probie looked confused. "Where was it?" he asked, trying to get more out of Ziva. But Ziva just flipped the switch to the on position. But the new agent wasn't done yet.

Ross flipped the switch back. "Ziva...what happened?" Tears were welling up in her eyes slowly, but she blinked them back. "My father had been sending threats to NCIS. He wanted me

back at Mossad, or better yet...Tony dead. We found him, and I was to speak to him. He sent me to a different room, and when I was gone-." Ziva stopped and began to cry. But she

managed, "There was a shooting between Mossad and NCIS. Gibbs, McGee, Tony, three Mossad officers, and my father were involved. I wanted to help. But by the time I had got there..."

Ziva stopped. (She needed always needed a moment when she spoke about Tony's death.) Tony had taken two shots to the chest and a shot to the leg. Gibbs had one bullet in his

arm." The tears flooded down Ziva's face again. "Oh...Ziva, I'm so sorry." said Jeff. "It is okay, but I will never forgive my father for killing Tony... He was not only my partner, but one of my

best friends. And I..." Ziva paused again. She needed to say it. "You can't tell anyone, Agent Ross. But Tony and I were dating. Nothing serious though. But Tony was my boyfriend." Ross

looked confused. "I thought there was a rule against that. You two broke it?" the Probie questioned. "It was complicated," Ziva said, "but it was worth it. He died protecting me. And I'll always remember his last words to me." Ziva said. "What did Tony say?"

"He told me that he'd always keep me safe. No matter what happened. And that he loved me." Ziva said with a look of sad remembrance on her face. "I didn't think it would really mean that he'd have to die to keep me safe."

Ross' face was marveling at the story. It was a few moments until Ziva snapped back to the elevator. Don't forget, don't tell anyone. Especially Gibbs." she reminded him. "I won't. I promise." he said. Ziva flipped the switch, and they left the elevator and the building for the night.
