Disclaimers: I do not own NCIS or its characters, they sadly still belong to CBS.

Warnings: AU, Spoilers for season 4, Tony/Leah (OC), I'm not a fan of Jenny FYI, NOT TIVA their relationship will be friends only.

A/N: At the end of the last chapter of "Job and Family" I said that I had started working on a Season 4 AU with Leah. This is the prologue. I don't think you'll need to have read any of the "Unconditionally" series to understand this. I've pretty much dried my muse up in that series for now. The last chapter in "Tiny Additions" will be the last part of that storyline for a while I think, besides tags in "Job and Family."

I hope I don't confuse anyone by "re-cycling" an OC of mine. Clearly this story is not related to the "Unconditionally" series in any way, just that I'm "borrowing" Leah. Hope you enjoy my latest take on Tony and Leah's relationship. It really was sparked from an idea that Tony's "mystery woman" was anyone but Jeanne... so who better than Leah haha. Please read and review, let me know what you think, promise I don't bite :)

Everything You Ever Wanted

Anthony DiNozzo tapped his finger relentlessly on the glass top of the wrought iron table. In his hand he had a cup of French brewed coffee, a Parisian newspaper rested before him, and his green eyes were following his intended target.

Five weeks had come and gone since Gibbs had handed him his badge, effectively retiring and promoting Tony to team leader. Life at NCIS moved on, even if the team seemed to be stuck in a rut. They were trying… well… at least most of the time… some days Tony wanted to throw hissy fits and smack them around but restrained himself. After all… Gibbs sudden departure had hurt.

Tony wasn't going to complain about the job today, however. He was sitting in Paris, warm sunshine on his face, his team believing that he was overseas for some security briefing that Jenny Shepard had sent him on… but in reality he was watching the daughter of a heavy hitting arm's dealer. Who… was quite lovely. Her attractiveness was going to make the Director's orders of getting close to her much easier. All he knew of her was that her last name was Benoit, that she might be in Paris to visit her father—Jenny told him that he would get more information once he got back from Paris. It was all he needed to know at the moment, he had her description from Jenny, and he had followed her that very morning from their arms dealer's home.

He had yet to spot her father, and digging around a little bit talking to the neighbors—no one was sure if he was in town. It was possible that his daughter was just here to vacation and use his home. But still… the opportunity to dive right in had presented itself and Tony was chomping at the bit.

Right now, he was sitting here watching her trying to figure out his game plan. It wasn't like he could walk up to her and introduce himself as very special Agent Anthony DiNozzo. Doing that would blow his whole cover.

Running his tongue over his lips, he finished his coffee and got up. He zigged and zagged his way through the tightly packed tables towards the young woman purchasing fresh cut flowers from a street vender.

He wasn't supposed to approach her in Paris, just feel her out until he returned to Washington. But it felt like the right time to move in. And… Tony liked to follow his gut when it came to undercover work. "Lilies…" he said as he stepped up next to her, "those were my mom's favorite."

"I like them better than roses," she replied, smiling up at him. "Sadly most men seem to think women just want roses."

"Oh well… then let me correct that mistake," he said, pulling out his wallet. He handed the vendor the money. "Now… that I've bought you flowers, can I buy you lunch?"

"You're very…bold. You don't even know my name."

Tony grinned at her, flashing her the best one he could muster. "I only need a first name, beautiful."

Her blue eyes flashed with amusement, a playfulness that if circumstances were different, Tony might actually entertain the idea of a relationship with her. "It's Leah."

Grabbing her hand, he brought it to her lips and gently kissed it. "Tony," he said, grinning. When she laughed he couldn't help but think spending time with her was going to be better than observing her for the next two weeks.

So... should I go with this? Thoughts? Comments... lol
