Payback
It had been two months after they had gotten her back. She was back at work and yet Gibbs knew it wasn't good yet. Tony was back to his practical jokes with McGee but he left Ziva alone. Yes, he trew her a view paper balls every now and then but that was it. She wasn't responding, she would just pick up the paper ball and deposit it into her trashcan without saying a word. She wouldn't even laugh when Tony once again glued something belonging to McGee onto his desk. When McGee changed into some new clothes after a rather filthy crime scene he found out that Tony had stitched the sleeves shut. A angry McGee stormed into the bullpen.
"TONY…." McGee showed him the sleeves.
"Is this your doing"
"Why would you assume such a thing, McSleeveless"
"Arghhh stop being such a pain in the ass" McGee yelled. He went over to his desk and started to remove the stitches which where situated at the end of his two sleeves.
Tony turned around and was hit by a cold and very wet paper ball. He was confused, did McGee threw that at him when he wasn't looking.
He glanced over at McGee and was once again hit by a very wet and cold paper ball.
"Dammit"
He stood up looking to find the colperate. He looked at Ziva's desk but she was hard at work and didn't seem to even notice his distress.
"Who the hell was doing this to him"
Tony sat down and …swoohs….again a paper ball hit him but this time he noticed who had thrown the ball.
Ziva…..
She tried to look as if she was hard at work but Tony noticed she was taking out a new paper ball. He loved it so much that he thought he should play along and pretend not to have seen it. He stood up and looked all over the bullpen knowing full well who had hit him with the ball.
Swoohs….this time it hit him straight in his face. Tony yelped.
Ok, there was only so much a man could take. He excused himself and left for the bathroom. He thought about playing a prank on her, it was about time that they were returning to their wicked ways. He would get back at her, just you wait and see. He smiled, she's back but he told himself nothing to big, nothing that would hurt her just small pranks nothing major just jet. He was grinning the entire way back to his desk.
He sat down but before he realized it his chair was buckling from underneath him and he fell on his butt. He got up and peered over his desk only to see the most beautiful sight in months. A laughing Ziva who was holding her ribs from hurting.
She got up and kneeled at his side, her mouth came near his right ear and whispered.
"Payback is a bitch, yes"
The End.
