Miss Jones/Nikita/Oversite is the head of Section One a clandestine Anti Terrorist unit


Monday June 10, 6:30" P.M. It was a balmy night as Ziva & Tony walked out of NCIS through the parking garage to his car! It have been a rather eventful 48 hours and Tony was finally getting off his emotional roller-coaster or so he thought

Tony escorted Ziva David from the building saying "Come on Ziva I am going to take you home!"

Reaching into his pocket for his keys Tony finds an unexpected a business card with a phone number on the front above the phone number is a smaller series of numbers "18 7 0 17 14 13."

Looking at the card Tony stashes back in his pocket thinking to himself What the, when... where did I get that!

Ziva was Relying heavily on Tony to stay on her feet because exhaustion was finally catching up to her, her body molding into Tony's.

Through a half yawn Ziva said "I'm too tired to argue!"

Tony carried her like she was a bride crossing the thresh-hold the short distance to the car

He quickly replayed the fight with Sharon in his mind he quickly and realized that at some point during the encounter she planted it in his pocket.

Putting the car into gear he pulled out of his space, halfway between NCIS and Tony's apartment Ziva fell asleep, she flinches every now and again! Tony pulled into his parking space at his apartment building, not wanting to wake Ziva he gently places his jacket over her as he scoops her up in his arms bridle stile.

Ziva stirs just a little bit as she opens her eyes, saying "Tony"

Ten minutes later they were halfway to Tony's place when the combination of jet lag and the events of the last three months caught up to Ziva.

Her shoulders suddenly slumped forward and what little life was left in her face just drained away she strained to keep her eyes open saying weakly in a half asleep state and mumbling, Tony..., my apartment blew up!

"Go back to sleep Ziva" Tony tells her softly!

Managing to get his keys in the door Tony used his body to open it giving the door a but check. Laying the sleeping Ziva down on the sofa he pops a CD into the player!

Then he ran back to close the door

Aerosmith maybe its not the best choice! Tony thought Suddenly the song " Don't Want To Miss A Thing" started playing softly Tony walked back to the sofa siting beside Ziva! "Hold me till I fall asleep!" she said lazaly.

Pulling Ziva into his lap he wrapped his arms round her the way a father cuddles with a frightened child Tony told her "Sure Ziva!"

Ziva rests her head on Tony's chest as he finds himself unconsciously singing along to the CD when he thinks. She is shaking like leaf... what did they do to you Ziva

Tony's soft voice rang in Ziva's ears,

"I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away dreaming

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God we're together

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and ever

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

I don't want to miss one smile

I don't want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you close

Feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

Cause I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never do

I'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleep

I don't want to miss a thing .."


The following morning Tuesday 0:600 Tony hears his cell phone vibrating on his beside table, looking at the caller Id it reads "Gibbs" he flips open the phone! "Boss?"

Gibbs asked Tony "Is Ziva with you?"

Tony told Gibbs "Yea Boss..., I didn't think she should be alone!"

Gibbs states "Always take care of your partner!"

Tony replies "Boss..., I still don't think that she should be alone, where are you?"

Getting more annoyed at Tony by the second Gibbs states, "At your door, you going to let me in?"

Tony said "On it Boss..."

Rolling out of bed a gently as he could he made his way down the hall unlocking the door letting Gibbs in, he, looks at Tony saying, "You take a shower, I will watch Ziva!"

Gibbs sees pure rage in Tony's eyes Gibbs telling him, "I know..., I felt the same when she died!"

Tony knew who he meant, Sharon his first wife and love of his life

Taking a breath Gibbs told Tony, "Go take a shower you stink!"

Tony looks at Gibbs with a raised eyebrow asking "Whats going on boss?"

Gibbs told Tony "All I know is Vance wants to see us..., "A.S.A.P..."


15 minutes later Tony steps out of the shower with a towel around his waist

Gibbs Looks at Tony the expression on his face told Tony, not to ask too many questions.

"Tony..., as far as you and Ziva are concerned Rule 12 is suspended!" Gibbs explained.

Confused Tony looked at Gibbs asking him"Boss?"

Gibbs Looked at Tony telling him "I heard what Miss Jones bodyguard told you..., she is right if Ziva is going to make it through this she will need your support!

Heading back to put on some cloths Tony said "Thanks..., I think!"

Annoyed Gibbs grumbles "I was a Marine Tony...!" Gibbs didn't bother finishing that statement because he knew DiNozzo understood.

Ziva came walking out of the bedroom her hair was amiss asking "Gibbs, what are you doing here?"

Gibbs summarizes the conversation he just had with Tony for Ziva "Director Vance wants to speak to us!"

Ziva grumbles"Eh..., all I have is what I fell asleep in last night!"

Tony starts walking to the spare closet telling Ziva "When I was undercover Jeanne..., she left some clothes here just in case she had to work the next day ..., you two are about the same size..., if you can find something you like your welcome to it!"

Ziva starts pulling out some of the clothes saying "I will give Jeanne one thing Tony..., she had good taste!"

Throwing the outfit on the bed Ziva asked Tony, "Did you sing me to sleep last night?

Tony looked at the outfit Ziva was putting together saying "Yes she did Ziva... why don't you take a quick ten minute shower!"

Turning his head Gibbs razes an eyebrow at that question looking at Tony.

Tony tried to hide his grin saying "I guess I did?"

Gibbs razes it even further at Tonys answer!

Without saying a word Ziva headed to the bathroom as she closed the door Ziva commented "A Girl could get used to that Anthony" and she closed the door.


Five minutes later to the second Ziva headed back to the bedroom where she had set out the clothes, buttoned up a blouse Ziva thought to herself Tony's changed... he's never been this protective before. Heading down the hall Ziva tucked her blouse into a pair of designer jeans.

Gibbs looked at the two of them shaking his head saying "Alright you two lets get going!"


07:00 one hour later at NCIS in The Office Of Director Leon Vance in attendance are Gibbs, Tony Dinozzo, & Ziva David.

Director Leon Vance stated "Officer David..., I wanted you to hear this from me before you heard it on the news wires"

Emotionally drained Ziva asked the Director "Whats that?"

Director Vance told Ziva "The body of Mossad Director Eli David was recovered from outside an Islamic mosque!"

Ziva David looked at Vance bewildered asking "Why?"

Director Vance told Ziva "The running theory is someone is trying to start a holy war!"

Ziva slumped forward,

Director Vance stated "Theirs one more thing!"

Tears running down her face Ziva stated "I don't know how much more bad news I can take Director"

Director Vance said the body of Amit Hadar was found in his home he was shoot three times, twice in the heart once in the head!

Scoffing Ziva told the Director "Amit Hadar was the one that burned me... don't expect me to shed a tear for him"

Director Vance asked "Are you sure Ziva?"

Ziva announced "There are only two other people who knew, Miss Jones, and Sharon!"

Director Vance said "It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!"

In the bull pen Ziva David stopped Gibbs asking, "Can I stop by your house later..., Sharon gave me a letter addressed to both of us!"

Gibbs Told Ziva "Make it 20:00!"


20:00- "8:00 P.M." the house of Leroy Jethro Gibbs theirs a knock on the door, Gibbs opens the door, Telling Ziva "come in..., have a seat on the sofa."

Ziva hands Gibbs the letter repeating what she told him at NCIS telling him, "Sharon said I was not to read this letter until I was alone with you

Jethro examines it then hands it back to Ziva telling her "Open the letter Ziva lets see what it says!"

On the envelope are the written the names "L.J. Gibbs & Ziva David"

Ziva David & Leroy Jethro Gibbs

Sarah David Gibbs

Ziva brakes down and starts to sob uncontrollably, Screaming the names (Sharon, then Sarah) feeling as though someone ripped her heart out from her chest. Gibbs being who he is takes her in his arms and comforts her! "Saying only Ziva why didn't you tell me!"

Gibbs couldn't help but notice the tear stains on the paper thinking writing this must have broken her heart


Theirs a sudden knock at the door!

Gibbs tells her "I will be right back Ziva..., are you going to be OK!"

Ziva wiping the tears from her face says "Yes!"

Gibbs opens the door to find Miss Jones holding a baby bassinet saying "I am Tali's Godmother Agent Gibbs..., take good care of her..., if you don't I will find you!"

Hearing that statement, the normally calm and iron willed Gibbs feels a chill run down his spine, and his blood run cold Gibbs tells Miss Jones "I believe you would!"

Running from the sofa Ziva reaches for Miss Jones arm saying, "Miss Jones wait..., please take me to her!"

Miss Jones looked at Ziva's pleading eyes telling her "Ziva... do you know what you are asking of me..., it would mean never seeing Tali grow up, never seeing her first kiss!"

Gibbs looks at Miss Jones confused asking her "I don't understand!"

Miss Jones tells Gibbs "The organization I work for, does not exist Agent Gibbs... not on paper at least we recruit people by staging there deaths and or executions..."

"That way no one comes looking for them..." Switching the bassinet from her right had to her left Miss Jones stated "Sarah was sent on a suicide mission by Mossad to kill me she was not expected to survive!"

Gibbs looks at Miss Jones saying "You don't work for MI6..., do you!

Miss Jones looks at Gibbs telling him "No, It is safer that you not know the name of the organization Mr. Gibbs..., people may come after we are gone asking questions..."

In her earwig hears Sharon's voice saying, "Nikita give my mother the comms unit I need to talk to her!"

Miss Jones looks at Ziva calling out her name "Ziva..., Sarah would like to speak to you..., take this head set!"

Ziva takes the head set puts it on and Mic saying "Sarah!"

Sharon told Ziva "Mom..., for you I became an an avenging angel!"

Ziva said through tears "I...I never asked you to kill for me!"

Close to tears herself Sharon said "Mom..., do you know how much it broke my heart to see you endure the violent flash backs?"

Ziva said, "Sarah I don't want to loose you..., not again!"

In a soothing voice Sharon told Ziva "Mom..., you won't loose me again I will always know where you are here in D.C.!"

Ziva pleaded with her daughter "I've missed so much of your life!"

Sharon told Ziva "Mom I want you to remember that smiling women from the plane..., the one that held you while you slept and kept you safe, keeping the monsters at bay"

Ziva swallowed nervously "I thought that was a dream!"

This time it was Sharon's voice that broke as she said, "Mom, you have a second chance with Tali!"

Ziva said, "I will cherish it, always!"

Sharon told Ziva, "It was Hadar that sent on the suicide mission..."

The last thing Sharon told Ziva before the line went dead was "Ima... try not to let her follow in my footsteps..."

With that Miss Jones handed the bassinet to Gibbs taking back the radio and walks away into the darkness!

With a determined look on her face Ziva looked at Gibbs saying, "I want to become a U.S. Citizen!"

Contemplating all the events of that day Jethro Gibbs tells Ziva "We can start the process tomorrow!"

What nether Gibbs, nor Ziva new was Miss Jones heard that statement,

Back in the limousine Nikita Picked up the phone saying, "Ziva David will be applying for U.S. Citizenship... make sure she gets it"

Sharon looked at Nikita telling her "Thank you"
