He had literally been sitting at his computer all day. Ziva didn't know what was wrong with her partner but something had not been right all week. She knew he had a lot on his mind what with EJ leaving probably dead. She wanted to say the right thing but didn't know what it was.
"Tony, what are you doing?" She asked, "You've been glued to that computer since this morning.".
"That is my business, David," He paused not looking at her. He rarely did these days. She wondered if that to the fault of EJ or Ray. Or maybe neither. "Which is none of yours," He finished.
"Come on, Dinozzo," She said. Two could play at this impersonal talk, "What's on your mind?"
He finally looked at her but ignored her question. "So, how's CI-Ray?"
"Fine. Long distance is not easy but we are making it work," She answered wondering if that was the answer to his mood.
"Mmm, yup," he said shortly. Then went back to typing at his computer.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Ziva said standing up and walking over to the filing cabinet. She was not letting him escape this one.
"Nothing, Zee-vah, I'm just so happy for ya," He said. The sarcasm not missed by his partner.
"Jealous much?" She said leaning her hip on the filing cabinet. She was trying to lighten the mood. She had a feeling this conversation might take a serious turn.
He simply sat silent, however not confirming her accusation but not denying it either.
"Well this is deja vu," she said getting annoyed. "Once again the mighty 'Tony Dinozzo' will not talk to me." Tony suddenly stood up marching over and closed in on her.
She was pinned up against the filing cabinet, Tony's face inches away from her own. "You wanna know what I'm thinking Ziva?" He asked. There was no joking in his tone or on his face. They were serious as he looked from her eyes to her mouth. "There are about a lot of things I'd like to say but I don't exactly think it's squad room conversation." He swayed in their bodies touching for a very short moment sending electricity through both of them..
"Well I sure hope it's crime scene talk, Dinozzo," Gibbs said walking into the area. "We got a body at Quantico. Grab your gear."
Without skipping a beat, Tony turned out from Ziva towards his desk grabbing his bag. "McGee, boss?" The probie hadn't made it in yet.
"Meeting us there with Coffee," Gibbs said. "Don't think he'd wanna be here anyway, by the looks of things." He walked past Tony and gave him a quick head slap before walking towards the elevator, Tony on his heels. Ziva was dazed by what had just happened and hadn't grabbed her stuff yet.
"David!" Gibbs yelled almost as he stood by the elevator, "care to join us?" Pulled from her trance she quickly grabbed her stuff and ran inside the elevator as it was closing. She looked up at Tony who was next to her but he ignored her stare completely acting as if nothing had happened.
