Ziva Looked up at Toney and them both shouted "GIBBS"
"I know he said and don't bother I fought this as hard as I could both partners looked up towards the director standing above them
"It came from above me" she said "it's mandatory for all teams"
Ziva sighed how hard could this be she had survived mossad assassin training she could get through 3 weeks o team building on some tropical paradise but she shuddered at the thought of therapy and telling others you feelings it went against everything her training had tough her
"Awww come on zi" tony grinned at he "it won't be that bad ill drive you to the airport"
Ziva could never resist that lopsided grin "correction I will drive you" her tone was harsh but he lips curled into a smile god he was making her soft "don't be late"
5:01 Ziva glanced at her watch as she walked into tonys apartment to find him running by in a towel and noting else she skidded to halt "tony" she scolded "were going to be late now"
He rolled his eyes and smiled at his disgruntled partner "come on "he dragged her through the hall to his bedroom as he slipped into the closet to change she noticed a sires of small pictures in the wall surrounding a larger one.
She examined the smaller ones first. There was one of the whole team eve ducky and palmer around the directors desk there was another of tony and McGee then one of Just Gibbs then another of Gibbs and the director One of Abby in her lab and another of tony and Abby. The last picture besides the larger one was much larger than the smaller ones but slightly smaller than the larger one it was of tony and a women that Ziva could only assume from the engraving on the frame was Kate it was of the two of them they were both dressed in formal wear she was beautiful and Ziva felt a pang of what was it? It could not be jealousy she was dead after all. But as she turned to the last picture her heart was heavy there was not one picture of just her or her and tony after all she was his partner she looked up at the final photograph and funny sensation fluttered in her stomach something completely unknown to her it was of the who of them in the background was a beautiful sunset they were dressed in usual cloths and he had grabbed her around the waist and was spinning around the joy of the moment was perfectly captured in the camera
"You ready" tony emerged from his closed duffel bag in hand
"Yea all set" Ziva ignored the unknown fluttering feeling in her stomach
