This is set in the middle of season three. Genres: drama, supernatural, romantic. This is going to be the most terrifying, shocking and emotional week the team has ever had.
It was Monday. Tony hated Mondays. Mondays were unpredictable; you could always foresee what the rest of the week was going to be like, judging by how the Monday was. But the trick is you never know what the new Monday will be like, no idea what the new week was going to be like. But when he had woken up this Monday morning he couldn't even imagine what kind of week this Monday would bring with it.
The first weird thing that had happen him was that he a taken the wrong turn on his way to work. He had been so sure he had turned left, but somehow he had ended up on the wrong road, because he had turned right. That was why he was late this morning; it had taken him a half an hour longer to get to NCIS today than it usually did. He had found himself taking the wrong turn several times, and he had always ended up on the same street before he realized he had taken the wrong turn.
So there was no wonder Tony escaped from the elevator in a really bad mood this Monday morning.
"You're late" Gibbs greeted him as Tony threw his jacket somewhere behind his desk.
"Well, that is not my fault!" Tony said in a loud, annoyed tone of voice. Gibbs looked up at him.
"Then whose fault is it?" he questioned, secretly becoming slightly worried about Tony's behaviour.
"My damn car's fault. It kept driving in the wrong direction" was the answer he gave them, Ziva could help but to laugh at that explanation, it sounded quite funny.
"Don't you laugh at me!" Tony almost yelled, causing the others to look slightly frightened "I can swear I turned left, but I still ended up turning right. I found myself in the same street several times in row, a street I never even been on"
"Tony, are you sure you're ok?" Gibbs asked, rising from his chair.
"Yeah, never been better" he answered, looking a little crazy as he turned on his computer with a forceful press on the button.
"Tony, you are not ok" Gibbs said as he walked over to his agent. Tony looked at his boss, when their eyes met, Gibbs was shocked. He had never seen this expression in Tony's eyes before. There was a mixture of confusion, terror and vulnerability.
"Boss, I can swear something forced me to go to that street, that part of the town" Tony said and sighed. If it wasn't for the look in Tony's eyes, Gibbs would have slapped him, but his gut told him Tony was serious.
"You think someone might have tampered with your car?" Gibbs asked and Tony nodded.
"Yes boss"
"Any idea who?"
"Someone who's looking to get me in trouble" Tony said, and Gibbs walked past his desk.
"You don't say. I'm going to see the Director, I'll call you up later" he said as he ran up the stairs. Gibbs didn't know what to think, but he felt what Tony said didn't make sense at all. He didn't know if he should look at this incident as a serious threat or come to the conclusion Tony has lost his mind.
"Special agent Gibbs…" Cynthia started but he ignored her and burst into Jen's office.
"Good morning Jethro. What can I help you with today?" Jen said calmly, sitting at her desk.
Gibbs walked over to the windows behind Jen, so she had to turn around in her chair in order to look at him. He stood with his back to the glass.
"Something's wrong with Tony" he said and Jen looked shocked, but before she could ask anything, Gibbs continued "He claimed his car kept turning in the wrong direction on his way to work this morning. He told someone must have tampered with his car, maybe to lure him into a trap"
"Do you believe him?" Jen asked, tucking a string of her long red hair behind her ear.
"Honestly, I don't know. He appeared to be…very confused and unfocused when he came in, but his eyes told me this was serious. I have no idea what to believe" Gibbs sighed and Jen looked down.
"You want me to call him up?" he asked and Jen brought her eyes back up to him and nodded. Gibbs picked up his cell and quickly found Tony's number.
"DiNozzo" Tony's voice answered. Gibbs noticed his voice was shaking slightly, as if he was afraid who might answer him.
"Tony, it's Gibbs. I want you to come up to the Director's office, now. We need to talk through everything that happened this morning, and then we have to get someone to look at your car" Gibbs explained.
"I'll be right…" the rest of Tony's words were drowned by a loud scream, Gibbs jumped at the sound and Jen looked at him.
"Tony, what just happened? Who screamed?"
"It's Ziva, I think she fell down the stairs" came Tony's shocked voice. Gibbs hung up and ran out of the office with Jen right behind him. They hurried down the stairs and saw a few agents standing in a circle around Ziva, who were lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. Gibbs pushed everyone aside. Tony was kneeling next to Ziva.
"Oh God, is she ok?" Jen asked. She stood behind Gibbs, who had followed Tony example and sat on the floor next to Ziva. She had her hand on Gibbs shoulder, hugging it tightly.
"I'm ok" Ziva said in a low voice as Tony help her to sit up, she leaned against him.
"What happened?" Gibbs asked
"I… I was walking up the stairs, and I fell" Ziva closed her eyes, her head was pounding and her heart was beating fast. Deep inside, she knew that wasn't what had happened. "No, I didn't fall" she said at last "I was pushed"
Gibbs turned to look at Jen, who had gone awfully pale. "Who pushed you?" she asked, not able to believe someone in her own agency had just pushed Ziva down the stairs; she could have died from the fall. Ziva shook her head.
"No one. I was the only one on the stairs, but I swear I felt someone push me" Ziva said
Tony just stared at her; he felt a cold shiver up his spine. This was too weird. First his disobedient car, and now Ziva being push down a stair, but no one had been close enough to do so.
Gibbs once again looked at Jen "This is creepy" he said and Jen stared at him, her knuckles had gone white from her tight grip on his shoulder.
What is really happening at NCIS? Who pushed Ziva, and what happened with Tony's car? Please leave a review and I will update as soon as I can.
