I do not own these characters. I wish I did, but I don't. Just thought I would let you know, but in this story Tony and Ziva are married and living together in Tony's house.
"Tony," Ziva whispered as she rolled over in bed to face him, "Are you awake?" "Yes." He mumbled back. "I know this isn't the greatest time to talk about this but, I signed up to do a re-enactment of a battle at Fort Meigs." "What!" Tony screeched as he shot into a sitting position. Ziva continued softly, "I know you had a bad experience carrying slop buckets around when you were little but this is different. First, I will be the only person doing any re-enacting. You can just hang out and watch. Second, this is the War of 1812 we are re-enacting, not the Civil War. Oh, and third, I am playing a boys part. I am in command of the U.S 19th company." "What!" Tony screeched. "If I ever see another white fired, or another confederate soldier, or any more slop buckets, I will go mad!" "Tony!" Ziva said exasperated. "Did you listen to anything I just said? You will not see any confederate soldiers, because there will be none there! This is the War of 1812, not the Civil War. And there are no slop buckets, they have bathrooms. And oh by the way, there not called whites, they're called blanks."
Ziva walked into the kitchen the next morning for coffee. Tony was standing there drinking a cup himself. He turned and smiled when he saw her. "Good morning sweetcheeks." Then he kissed her softly and handed her a cup of coffee. "I have considered your offer Ziva, and we will try and work through tis together, as long as I don't have to do anything myself. We will somehow work through my past together."
Ziva walked into work with Tony at her side. She set down her backpack at her desk and sat down. Ziva had already gotten permission from Vance to leave work every day for the next six weeks at 7:00 P.M. That way she could make her company drills on time. Gibbs strode into the bull pen. "Grab your gear." Gibbs muttered, "Navy lieutenant down at the navy base." McGee jumped up, nearly tripping over his chair in the process. Tony laughed and Ziva rolled her eyes. At any rate they all piled into the elevator.
"McGee, take pictures." Gibbs stated. "DiNozzo…DiNozzo!" Gibbs said irritated. DiNozzo jumped and looked sheepishly in Gibbs direction "Yes, Boss. I will back and tag." He turned away from Ziva who he had been talking and flirting with. Ziva laughed and went to take witness statements. The first witness seemed really shaken up. She managed to get her story out between sobs, "I came to the Navy Yard to see my husband and when I went into and leaned over his bunk." Her voice trailed away. Finally she continued, "He was just gone." Ziva felt crushed inside, how would she react if something like this happened to Tony?
"Our victim was Navy Lieutenant Joe Boshem. He was stationed in Iraq Afghanistan and Southern Spain. He was deployed three times and was released with high honors along with his friend Carl Boylle." McGee finished. Ziva poked Tony and he made a funny face, making her laugh. "You two." Gibbs called, "Talk to the friend." They both grabbed their coats and set off to find Lieutenant Boylle.
Next chapter we will see more of the case and Ziva drilling her core. Please review and hope you like!
