"DiNozzo, my office" Tony heard coming from Director Vance from the cat walk above his head. He whipped around to see Gibbs standing up at the door as well. He shot a worried look to Ziva, his girlfriend of about 6 months but partner for over 4 years. As he quickly ran up the stairs Ziva looked over to Tim McGee who had since stopped working curious about the secret meeting taking place.

"Boss" Tony said nodding to Gibbs while walking up to Vance. "Sir" Tony said as Vance shook his hand before leading both Tony and Gibbs into his office closing the door.

"Have a seat Agent DiNozzo" Vance said walking around his desk, placing his arms on the desk once he was seated. Tony uncomfortably looked over to Gibbs sitting in the chair next to where he was standing. He took a deep breath before sitting as well. "Agent DiNozzo, I am sure you are wondering why Agent Gibbs and I have called you up here."

"Yes sir" Tony said

"I have a proposition for you." Vance paused, causing Tony to look over at Gibbs nervously. "It is an undercover assignment that would require you to befriend a woman named Chloe Morgan; she is suspected to have a nice hobby of killing marines." Vance stopped, watching as Tony processed all he was being told.

"What about…"

"Ziva?" Gibbs asked, cutting Tony off. Tony nodded.

"Well this is where it gets tricky. It would be difficult to complete this mission if you were in a relationship with Officer David." When Tony didn't respond, Vance continued. "Now you take some time to think about it and let me know first thing tomorrow morning." Vance finished standing up to show Tony and Gibbs out. Gibbs followed his lead, stopping when he realized Tony wasn't following.

"DiNozzo" Gibbs barked "let's go" Tony hopped up out of the chair, walking out of the office onto the catwalk. He walked to the railing, looking down on the team as Gibbs came up next to him, "I know what you are think DiNozzo, but this case could be great for your job. At least give it some consideration." Gibbs said before disappearing.

Tony continued to watch Ziva and McGee work before his eyes finally fixed on Ziva. She eventually sensed she was being watched and glanced up to see Tony staring. She smiled shyly, unusual for her, bringing a bigger smile to Tony's face. He knew he couldn't let this case jeopardize what he has with her. Even though they had never said it, he was starting to think he loved her, and he assumed she felt the same way. Possible career advancement wasn't worth it in his mind. He quickly walked downstairs to his desk, sitting down as he began to work again. He looked up at his computer when he heard the light ding from an instant message.

Ziva: So…

Tony: We will talk about it tonight…

He thought about it for a minute before typing again

Tony: My place, dinner, movie…the usual.

Tony looked up just in time to see a smile spread across Ziva's face

Ziva: Perfect.

An hour later, Gibbs walked back into the bullpen announcing that they could go home for the night. Tony and Ziva quickly grabbed their things and walked quickly to the elevator. Once they stepped on the elevator and the doors shut Tony took Ziva's hand in his, leaning down to give her a soft kiss.

"I have wanted to do that all day" Tony said smiling as they walked

"I will meet you there" Ziva said

"We rode together this morning, remember, you left your car at my place" Tony said as they reached his car.

"Yes, I remember now. I guess I will ride with you then." Ziva said getting into the passenger side of Tony's car.

Once they made it to Tony's apartment and inside, Ziva decided she needed to break the silence

"What happened with Vance and Gibbs today?" Tony walked silently over to his couch, pulling Ziva with him. He sat down and pulled her down right next to him, taking her hand and not letting go. Still without speaking he reached over with his other hand and placed it on her cheek, looking into her eyes. She could immediately sense something bad; she gripped his hand on her face, but did not remove it. Tony then pulled her closer to him, kissing her with a combination of passion and desperation she had never felt. Ziva pulled back.

"Tony, what is wrong?"

"I can't do it, I'm going to tell Vance tomorrow that the needs to find another agent because I can't do this." Tony said, speaking for the first time since they left work.

"Tony, what are you talking about? What can you not do?" Ziva asked becoming more and more worried.

"I can't do it" Tony said pulling her to him again, Ziva placing a hand over his mouth before he kissed her again. Right now all she wanted was answers.

"What can you not do?" Ziva asked slowly

"I can't break up with you" Tony said softly as Ziva cut him off

"Wait. You cannot do what? That is what your meeting was about? I cannot believe Gibbs, after everything he said about keeping it out of the office. Now they order you to break up with me?" Ziva yelled as he jumped up from the couch and began pacing, speaking so fast she ended up mumbling angrily in Hebrew.

""Zi, calm down" Tony said pulling her to him again, hugging her until the mumbling stopped. "They offered me an undercover assignment, one that could possible take my career to the next level, but I can't and won't…"

"Tony, stop" Ziva said forcefully cutting Tony off. "Why would you have to break up with me for an assignment?"

"I will have to take on the identity of a marine, while trying to get close to this woman who is apparently a serial killer who goes after marines." Tony could see the confusion in Ziva's eyes. "I will have to date her, and do all of that stuff that goes along with the dating thing. Gibbs and Vance both agreed that it would be easier if I wasn't in a relationship. But none of that matters, because I'm not doing it."

"Tony, you have to take it." Ziva said softly but determined when her voice finally broke the silence.

"But Zi…" Tony sighed wrapping her into another hug.

"No, you have to take it, we can figure this out."

"I'm not willing to lose you over some damn job!" Tony yelled

"You will not lose me. Just because they say we should break up does not mean we have too." Tony looked at her unsure as she spoke. "And when the assignment picks up, we will just not see each other as much."

"I'm not so sure Zi" Tony said hesitantly.

"Tony, we can do this, everything will be fine."

"Ziva I will be dating another girl as well as you. I will have to spend time with her and kiss her and hell I might even have to sleep with her! You mean to tell me that that will be perfectly okay with you?" Tony asked looking deep into her eyes.

"No, I am not going to pretend to be happy about any of it, but you cannot turn this opportunity down." She paused "Do it for me"

Tony was tired of arguing, still not sure this was the best idea, and he looked away, taking a deep breath before turning back to Ziva

"Are you sure?" he asked hesitantly

"Yes Tony" Ziva said cupping his face as she leaned forward to kiss him.

"I'm still not sure about his…but I will talk to Vance about it in the morning. For now let's just get some dinner and then some sleep." Tony said hopping off the couch and running into the kitchen. "What'll it be tonight?" Tony asked himself standing in the middle of the kitchen with all of the cabinets and fridge opened as Ziva walked in

"You, go sit. Do not even pretend you know what you are doing, you will just mess up my kitchen." Ziva said slapping Tony playfully.

"O so this is your kitchen? Last time I checked the lease for this apartment has my signature on it." Tony said grinning as he walked into the living room, turning on the television.

20 minutes later Ziva was placing two plates of chicken and rice on Tony's dining room table. They ate in a comfortable silence. Tony offering to clean up while Ziva went and took a shower. Just as Tony had finished cleaning Ziva walked out of his bedroom, her hair still wet wearing an oversized t-shirt and a pair of yoga pants. She walked into the living room taking her place on the couch as Tony started a movie. Tony joined her on the couch pulling Ziva into him. Within 20 minutes she had fallen asleep with her head on Tony's lap. His hands mindlessly running through her hair. When he began having troubles keeping his eyes opened he turned off the TV and scooped Ziva up with him and gently placing her in his bed. After changing out of his clothes he climbed into the bed next to Ziva. She turned towards him, wrapping herself around him before sighing and falling into a deep sleep.

"I think I'm falling in love with you." Tony whispered before finally falling asleep.

Ziva woke up at her usual 5:00am. She quietly slipped out of the bed and changed into her running clothes. She wrote a quick note to Tony and started the coffee before walking out the door. Tony jerked awake when he heard the front door close.

"Ziva?" he asked. No answer. He groaned rolling off the bed. He walked into the kitchen seeing the piece of paper lying next to the slowly filling coffee pot. He picked up the piece of paper reading

Tony,

Went for a run, be back later. Be ready when I get back.

-Ziva

Tony quickly got ready for work filling his cup up with more coffee he looked at the clock. 6:30. Ziva had been gone for more than an hour; she usually would be back by now, unless something was bothering her. He tried to call her cell phone but when she didn't answer he found a piece of paper scribbling down a short note.

Zi,

Had to get to work to talk to Vance. See you soon.

-Tony

He closed the door and walked out to his car. He still hadn't heard from Ziva when he arrived at NCIS, trying again, unsuccessfully to call her he gave up as he walked up the stairs to Vance's office. He knocked on the door entering when he heard "come in" from the other side.

"Ah, Agent DiNozzo" Vance said pointing to the chair across from himself, "Please, have a seat."

"Good morning Director." Tony said sitting down

Vance finally broke the silence "I take it you have an answer for me."

"Yes sir, I have decided to accept" Tony said sitting up straight looking directly at Vance.

"Very well Agent DiNozzo. I will have Agent Gibbs prepare you for this. You will have your entire team as backup. I am very satisfied you accepted. We will start today."

"Thank you sir" Tony said walking out of Vance's office. He pulled his phone out of his pocket when he saw Ziva's desk still empty

One new text message

Ziva

Tony I hope you have not spoken with Vance yet. I believe you were right.
