The door bell rang continuously, Tony rolled over and looked at his alarm, it read 01:23.
'Who could be at the door at this time of the morning?' He said to himself whilst slipping into his dressing gown. Tony walked over to the door and cautiosly opened it, a woman span around on her high heels to face him, her hair and makeup were a mess.
"Hello baby, I'm home!" The woman said flinging herself onto DiNozzo. He pulled her off him, this obviously wasn't someone he knew.
"Erm," DiNozzo rubbed his tired eyes,"Who are you exactly?"
"Don't be silly darling let me in." The woman tried to push past Tony, he put his arm across the door to stop her, he wasn't amused. Tony shut the door on her and went back to bed he didn't have time to mess around, he had an early morning ahead of him. He could still hear her singing out loud to herself in he corridor.

Lizzie pressed the door for the lift and stepped inside, she took a mouthfull of her coffee and looked at her reflection in the shiny lift door.
"God I'm a mess." She rubbed under her eyes and scraped her hair back into a bun. The door to the lift opened. She turned around to get out.
"Not you again, look I don't know you." DiNozzo said to Lizzie.
"I know, I don't know you either." Lizzie seemed rather confused, then it hit her. Her faced turned a dark shade of red, "Oh my god, I'm so sorry for last night. I had no idea what I was doing."
"I could tell." Dinozzo said to her.
"Sorry we got off on the wrong foot, I'm Lizzie, Lizzie Smith. "I'm Anthony DiNozzo, call me Tony though." He gave her one of his trademark smiles and held his hand out. She shook it and looked into his eyes as she did so. Tony put his hands into his pockets and there was a silence that seemed to last forever.
"So is there a reason your'e here then?" "Yeah I've been sent over from Norfolk, apparently I need some extra training as a Special Agent."
"Ah, so your'e a probie?" He grinned, "This way." DiNozzo tilted his head in the direction of the squadroom. Lizzie followed him.
"Hey, McGeek you gonna say hello to the pretty lady?" Lizzie blushed at what Tony said.
"Hi I'm Timothy McGee, nice to meet you"
"This is Lizzie Sm..." Gibbs walked past the trio, towards his desk. DiNozzo yelped, "Ow! What was that for boss?"
"Let the woman speak for herself, DiNozzo!" Gibbs introduced himself. "So you must be the agent sent over from Norfolk, I pressume"
"Yes sir, Lizzie Smith, sir."
"Ok. DiNozzo take Agent Smith over to Bethesda Naval hospital, there has been a suspicious death of Sailor. Ziva will meet you there." "Yes, on it Boss." Tony ran behind his desk, grabbed his gear and took off with Agent Smith.

In the car, DiNozzo had music playing. He was humming and tapping the steering wheel to the beat. Neither of the two were speaking, Lizzie looked over to DiNozzo, there was something about him she really liked. He noticed her looking over at him and she quickly turned her head towards the window.
"You Ok?" DiNozzo asked. Lizzie nodded her head.
When they arrived at the hospital Ziva was waiting outside the entrance for them. DiNozzo jumped out the car and ran over to the other side. He introduced the two women to each other."Lizzie this is Ziva, Ziva this is Lizzie." The two women smiled at each other.

Inside Lizzie went to sketch and shoot in the side room where the body of a young woman, lay on the floor. DiNozzo walked over to Lizzie, stood behind her a grabbed the camera, startling her as he did so.
"Hope you don't mind me saying but you're doing it all wrong." He teasingly waved the camera about in the air.
"Oh" Lizzie replied, staring at the camera in front of her.
"Here." DiNozzo handed her the carmera and stood behind her. She lifted the camera up and he placed his hands over the top of hers and aligned the camera into the correct position. She looked down at his hands touching hers, not realising Tony was speaking to her, "Lizzie, Lizzie!"
"Hey?" Lizzie finally snapped out of her daydreaming.
"Is there something wrong? You seemed quiet in the car too." DiNozzo replied, whilst staring at her shiny shoulder length hair.
"No, I'm great!" She turned towards him and smiled.
He smiled back. "Ok, well if you're sure."

Back at the NCIS Headquarters, Lizzie was sent down to the lab to give Abby the evidence. There was loud rock music blasting out of the stereo."Hello?" Lizzie shouted.The music suddenly stopped and Abby came around the corner.
"Hey, you must be Lizzie, it's great to see you!" Abby gave her a massive hug. "What goodies has the big boss man got for me today?" She said rubbing her hands together. Lizzie handed her the evidence and filled her in.
"It's the suspicious death of a sailor. She was found dead in her room at Bethesda Naval Hospital. There was no reports of anyone entering the room."
"Hmm, ok." Abby put the evidence bags on the table. "Well Lizzie what do you think of the team so far? Gibbs isn't too scary, is he?"
"No he's great."
"What about Tony?" Abby asked. Lizzie was deciding what should she say back, not knowing that it took her longer than she realised.
"He's..." Tony walked in.
"Hey Lizzie," he put his arm around her, "I see you've met Abs." Lizzie blushed once more. "It's good to see your getting on well. I'll leave you both to it."
"Bye Tony." Abby waved after him. "You like him don't you?" Abby asked Lizzie.
"Well...well, yeah." "Oh my god, please don't tell him!"
"Don't worry your secret's safe with me, anyway I think he likes you too." Abby replied.
"No he doesn't!" Lizzie was quick with her answer this time. "Of course he does, did you see the way he looked at you?"
"Looked at who, Abby?" Gibbs barked as he entered the room.
"No one Gibbs, I was just talking to Lizzie, I was telling her about the place. That's all" Gibbs pushed a Caff Pow towards her. Abby reached for it and Gibbs pulled it away from her.
"Have you started analysing the evidence yet?" Abby ran over to the table where she had put the evidence.
"No, I'm on to it now." Abby picked the evidence bags up and looked at the contents. Gibbs put the Caff Pow down on the table.
"Lizzie, you can get off home. I'll see you in the morning."
"Ok, thanks Boss." Lizzie hurried out of the door and into the lift.

Lizzie was getting into her car as DiNozzo pulled over. He wound down is window. "Hey, you wanna come for a drink at my place?" "Erm...sure, ok. I'll meet you there-it's not like I don't know where you live!"

"Hop in. Leave your car here, I'll drive you home." DiNozzo leaned over and unlocked the passenger door. Lizzie got in.

Back at Tony's place Lizzie made herself comfortable on his sofa. He poured them both a drink and then joined her. "I better not have too many." She said, looking at the over-full wine glasses."You don't want a repeat performance of last night!" The couple laughed. Tony moved closer to Lizzie."I'm sorry about last night I didn't keep you up did I?" Lizzie asked.
"It's fine, no harm done-you just kept me up half of the night thats all!" Tony laughed and looked at Lizzie she seemed upset. "I was only joking you know." He placed his arm around her shoulder and she smiled at him.
"Well, I'm not normally like that it's just..."
"What? You can tell me." Tony reassured her.
"Well I was drowning my sorrows, I'd split up with my boyfriend."
"Oh sorry to hear it."
"It's ok. He was an idiot anyway.

Two hours past and Lizzie looked at her watch.She giggled."I'm gonna have to go look at the time." She thrust her arm at DiNozzo. They both started laughing, They'd had a few too mant to drink.
"Well it's been great talking to you Lizzie, I feel like I know you this much better." Tony stretched his arms out wide to show her. Lizzie got up to put her shoes on. She hobbled on one foot. As she did so, she fell back down on the sofa. She and Tony started laughing again. Silence fell and the pair stared into each others eyes. Lizzie edged closer to DiNozzo, wrapping her arms around him.
"You know, I really really like you Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo." Tony smiled at her, she leaned in and started to kiss him. He broke off the kiss.
"And I like you Special Agent Lizzie Smith." They started to kiss again.

Tony woke up and looked down at Lizzie asleep on his lap. Thy had both fallen asleep on the sofa where they were the night before. Tony began to stroke her hair. He whispered softly in her ear, "Lizzie, Lizzie."
"Hmm?" She opened her eyes, looked up at Tony and smiled.
"It's morning sweetheart. We need to get up, you can jump in the shower before me if you like. I'll make you some breakfast for when you get out." He kissed her on the forehead and headed for the kitchen. Lizzie sat for a moment going over in her mind what had happened the night before, she smiled to herself and went to the bathroom.

Lizzie sat in the car whilst she waited for Tony, she looked down at her what she was wearing, wondering what the others would think when she came in the same clothes as the day before. She then realised that she didn't care she was with the man she adored. Tony jumped in the car. "Right, off we go!" He smiled a her the way he did when they met in the lift.

As the two pulled into the car park, Tony put his hand on Lizzie's leg." You know Gibbs doesn't approve of workers dating one another so maybe we should keep it between ourselves?"
"Sure, what ever you want darling, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. Tony leaned in to kiss her neck. Lizzie giggled.
"Tony. Stop. What if someone sees us?" He carried on.
"Then I guess Gibbs will know!" DiNozzo liked the whole thought of been caught but knew his Boss would kill him if he found out, so he stopped.

Inside, Ziva was already working on the case from the day before. Tony leaned over Ziva's desk trying to see what she was doing on the computer."Ziva, Ziva, Ziva. Do you have any news on the dead sailor?"
"No, but Ducky wants to talk to you." She carried on typing, not looking up to talk. Lizzie walked in. Ziva watched her smile at Tony trying to catch the lift before the doors closed."Weren't you wearing those clothes yesterday Lizzie?"
Lizzie looked down at herself. "Yeah, I got up late so I had no time to go to the dry cleaners to collect my laundry. These were the only clothes in my wardrobe apart from an old Cat Woman halloween costume. I don't think Gibbs woud have approved!" Lizzie laughed expecting Ziva to join her, however she just carried on with her work.

Later on, Lizzie headed off home for the day. She had a killer headache that not even asprins would get rid of. Tony and Ziva were working hard trying to keep up with their boss' every demand. They were currently trying to track down a possible murder suspect of the the female sailor. In between work DiNozzo emailed Lizzie, however there was no reply. He suspected she had gone to bed so decided to try ring her later. Abby in her usual bubbly manner came running out of the lift into the squadroom. She had some vital evidence which may help the team track down the killer.
"Ziva, Tony, have you seen Gibbs?"
"No, why?" Ziva wondered why she was even asking Abby, it was obvious that she had found a lead. "
I've found a hinky substance on the sailors clothing. I'm running it through the computer to see what it is." There it was the answer Ziva already knew.Gibbs came down the stairs form MTAC.
"Great work Abs." He kissed her on the cheek as he walked past to his desk. Abby smiled after Gibbs, Ziva was jealous. She wondered why Gibbs would never praise her like that, all she got was a smack on the back of the head.
"Have you got anywhere chasing down the suspect or are you too busy with your personal life, Tony?" DiNozzo looked up at his Boss. How did he always seem to know what he was doing?
"Yeah. His last know address was in Silver Springs around the Colesville Road area."
"Well.What the hell are you waiting for? Go track him down, take Ziva with you." DiNozzo jumped up from his desk,grabbed his gear and headed towards the lift.
"On it boss!"

In the car, DiNozzo's phone rang. It was was on handsfree as he was driving.
"Hello Doctor DiNozzo." A familiar female voice purred down the phone. DiNozzo's and Ziva's eyes widened.
"My body is aching all over, I'm not feeling so good can you come over and make me all better?" Tony grabbed the phone and switched off the speakerphone.
"Er,yeah. I'm kinda busy right now. I'll ring you later." Tony flipped the phone shut and concentrated on the road ahead as if nothing had happened. Ziva stared at him with a look of bewilderment. She recognised the voice."That was Lizzie, no?" A rather confused Ziva asked Tony.
"No. It...it was a friend."
"Yeah. Sounded like it. A real close friend, Tony." Ziva mumbled under her breath. Ziva smiled to herself.
"Yes it was her thats why she's been grinning like a Cheshire dog."
"Grinning like a Cheshire cat, Ziva."
"Same thing." She shrugged her shoulders. Ziva hadn't quite got all the English sayings right yet.
"No a cat and a dog are..." Tony was cut off by Ziva.
"Soo. How long?Tell me everything." Tony was relucant to say but Ziva's interrogation skills paid off once more and he told her everything. "Wow!" Ziva seemed shocked."Guess Gibbs doesn't know?Hmm?"
"No and I...We would appreciate it if you didn't tell him."
Ziva waved her hands in the air."Scared of the boss. Ha!" Tony turned his head sharply towards Ziva and gave her a severe look. This was the first time he had took his eyes off the road during the coversation."Ok, ok." She moved her hand across her mouth to gesture to Tony that she wouldn't say a thing.

There was knocking at Lizzie's door followed by a man's voice. "Dr DiNozzo wants to know how his patient is feeling?" The door flung open and Lizzie grabbed Tony. She shut it firmly behind her and pressed her man against the door. "About time as well." She whispered kissing him on the neck. She took the stereo remote from the counter and pointed it behind her, gentle, sensuous music started to play.
"Well, about earlier, Ziva was in the car with me. The phone was on handsfree, so she sorta heared everything you said."
"Oh god!" An embarrassed Lizzie help her hand to her mouth. "She knows?"
"She does now." Tony wrapped his arms around her waist and swayed Lizzie to the music. "Don't worry she won't say anything to Gibbs." "Anyway. How's my patient doing?"
"Well seeing you has made me feel heaps better."
"Guess you won't be wanting a massage then?" He rubbed his hand along her back, it sent shivers down her spine.
"Well you know I do feel the aching coming back, perhaps I do need a massage." She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his body and he took her into the bedroom. Tony kicked the door shut behind them.

At work the next day, Tony and Lizzie were in the lift sharing a passionate kiss before they got to the squadroom. The were too engrossed in each other that they didn't realise Gibbs had entered the lift. "What the hell are you two doing!" He barked. They had been caught in the act. "Lizzie, get out and go help David in interrogation!Now!" She ran out of the lift before he could say anything else.
"I'll just go..." DiNozzo was cut off by Gibbs slapping him rather hard on the back of the head. He punched the button to the lift and the doors closed behind the pair. Both of the men were silent.
"Boss?"
"What DiNozzo?"
"We were...it's just."
"Shut up DiNozzo."
"Ok Boss, sorry Boss.I was just..." Gibbs starred sharply at DiNozzo he realised his Boss wasn't kidding.

Ziva entered the interrogation room where Lizzie was already waiting.
"What's up Lizzie?" . Lizzie stared at David, hers eyes looked red and sore, as if she had been crying. "Oh. I guess he caught you then?" Ziva placed her arm around Lizzie's shoulder apologetically. "Sorry"
"It's ok. I guess I will have to hand in my notice now. I can't let Tony loose his job, he has worked so hard to get where he is."
"Go talk to Director Shepperd. I'm sure she will sort it out. I'll be fine on my own McGee's watching from next door anyway."
"Thanks Ziva." Lizzie got up and left the room. She headed to Director Sheppard's office.
