I just watched Obsession, and HAD to post this. The first part takes place when Tony and Ziva are in the victim's house, the second part is after the reporter/ victim dies.

Tony stared at Ziva.

"You don't know that." He said to her.

"Tony," Ziva said walking slowly toward where Tony was sitting, "I know you wish she would walk in here and you would dust her off her feet by playing the piano like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, but it will not happen." She had sat down on the other side of him now.

"It's sweep of your feet." Tony said. He got up and stood by the wall. There was a long pause.

"Tony, I know what it is like to be in a situation like this." Ziva said softly, sliding her fingers slowly over the piano keys.

"No you don't." Tony said.

"Yes, I do." Ziva said, "You are going through the same thing I went through a few years ago." Tony and Ziva stayed in silence for a while.

"Dead man Walking?" Tony said.

"I would use a different name for him, but yes." Ziva sighed, "It was him." Ziva got up and went toward the stairs.

"If you need to talk to me, Tony." Ziva didn't have to say anymore, Tony knew what she was going to say.

"It's getting late," Tony said.

"I know." Ziva said, "We should leave."

"Yeah." Tony said following Ziva.

"Ziva?" Tony said through the phone.

"Yes?"

"Can I talk to you?"

"Go ahead." Ziva replied. There was a pause.

"Can I come over?" He asked.

"Yes." She said. Tony drove to her apartment. He got up to her door and knocked.

"Ziva." Tony said.

"Come in." Ziva said. He sat on her couch.

"She's gone." Tony said absent mindedly.

"You know, I think she'd have been the one." Tony said.

"Really?" Ziva said turning from him.

"Yeah, she was smart, pretty, everything I wanted." Tony said to Ziva. She turned, "What do you have in your hand?" She asked changeing the subject.

"She gave me this." Tony said, "It's a note. Thanking me."

"Oh." Ziva said. Tony got up.

"I'm gonna see Gibbs now," Tony said. "Thanks."

"You are welcome, Tony." Ziva said. She watched him walk down the stairs and slowly shut the door.
