Disclaimer: I sadly do not own NCIS or the characters.

Tony was sitting at his desk, doing nothing. It was one of those rare days where they didn't even have paperwork to do. McGee was sleeping at his desk next to Tony's and mumbled some online game nonsense. Gibbs was nowhere to be seen, probably discussing something with Vance at MTAC.

But where was Ziva? Yeah, she'd just be sitting there doing nothing like them, but Tony liked watching her. When she caught him staring, she would always send him this Ninja glance of hers. Her dark brown eyes connecting with his. He had to smile while still deep in his thoughts, although he knew that he wasn't supposed to think of his partner like that, but he just couldn't stop himself. There were two things constantly on his mind every day; Food and Ziva David. Her beautiful eyes, that captured his every movement and in which he could get lost so damn easily, her magnificent curls, falling loosely over her shoulders or pulled back into a pony tail, and her perfectly shaped body on which even plain simple khaki pants looked amazing...oh who was he kidding, food wasn't on his mind that much. If Gibbs were be able to read his mind right now he would probably headslap him until he forgot his name. So let's just hope he can't...

"Can't what? And who?" McGee called over from his desk. Apparently Tony had spoken the last sentence aloud. He blushed slightly at the fact that he'd been caught daydreaming, but he overplayed it with humour. "None of your business, McSleepingBeauty." He said with a teasing DiNozzo grin on his face " Were you waiting for a prince to kiss you awake? Did you leave one of your shoes at the dance, so he could find you, McCinderella ?"

"Haha, very funny, Tony, but you just mixed up two fairytales..."

"You would know..."

McGee rolled his eyes and got up "Now I won't even ask if I should bring you some coffee."

"Oh, c'mon! I was joking and I need the caffeine! A tired Senior Field Agent is as good as none at all..." What the hell, did he just apologize to McGeek? That would've never happened with Ziva around. Where was she?

McGee smirked slightly "Jeez, calm down Tony. I was going to get you some anyway."

"No you weren't" Gibbs' voice came from behind them, making both agents jump in surprise "We got a dead marine, grab your gear!"

The agents grabbed their backpacks immediately, at last something was happening. Suddenly Tony stopped. "But Boss...Ziva's not here..."

"Wow, genius DiNozzo...she won't come. Now move your ass!" Gibbs yelled. Tony looked back at Ziva's desk one more time, confused, before he joined the others in the elevator. Gibbs greeted him with a headslap. "Ouch!" Tony complained.

"That was for keeping us waiting." Gibbs said and McGee had to stop himself from grinning at Tony's facial expression.

... ... ... ...

The crime scene wasn't really impressive. Bloody, but nothing new. Ducky was already there, doing what a medical examiner does best; examining. He just pulled out the liver probe from the body when the team entered. "Got a time of death, Duck?" Gibbs asked.

"Oh, Jethro. I would say he has been dead for at least eight hours."

The victim was Petty Officer Damian King. His upper body was covered in blood and you could make out several fatal wounds all over the chest.

" Poor fella...it's not a nice way to die..." Ducky said.

"Is there a nice way to die, Dr. Mallard?" Palmer threw in, but shut up as he saw Gibbs glaring at him and pretended to have left something in the van.

Tony and McGee were taking pictures of the crime scene. The murder weapon, a kitchen knife, was still next to the body. 'Careless' Tony thought. They'd just have to take the fingerprints off the knife and give them to Abby, so she could run them and find a match. He personally suspected the wife, as always. She was pretty darn hot, blonde hair, young...Ziva would laugh at him at this point. But she wasn't there. For the third time this morning his thoughts wandered to where the hell his co-worker was. That's when he felt a sharp pain to the back of his head. "Focus, DiNozzo!"

"Sorry Boss, I was just thinkin' 'bout-"

"DiNozzo!"

"Shutting up, Boss." Tony said and went to bag up some evidence.

"Where are you taking me? Tell me!" Ziva asked a bit annoyed. She didn't like the fact that she didn't know where the car was going, thanks to the blindfold covering her eyes. She could just take it off, but she wasn't a cheater.

"Be patient, honey, we're almost there. Only one more mile." Ray Cruz, her almost-fiancé, assured her. She couldn't believe that she'd let him blindfold her and just drive away. What was even more unbelievable was the fact that Gibbs had given her the Friday off, so she could spend an extended weekend with Ray.

"Come on, just tell me!" Ziva complained, she sounded almost like a little girl, who wanted to know where the sweets were hidden.

"Okay, we're here." Ray said enthusiastically. He turned the engine off, got out of the car and walked around the front so he could open the passenger door for Ziva. He helped her to get out without hitting her head and she removed the blindfold immediately. Ziva was speechless when she saw the impressive beach house in front of her.

"Does this belong to you?" she asked. Ray stepped behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Yes. Welcome to my family's beach residence." He kissed her cheek before he unwrapped his arms from around her again and led her towards the house. Ziva was still stunned. This weekend was going to be wonderful, she thought.

This weekend was going to be terrible, Tony thought. Originally he had planned to invite Abby and the Probies over to his place for a movie night, but apparently McLoverboy had a date and Abby was babysitting a friend's daughter. As for Ziva – he still didn't know where she was, but he knew that Gibbs did. He desperately wanted to know, but his pride kept him from asking. To keep himself occupied, he went downstairs to see if Ducky had some news on the dead Petty Officer.

"Hey Duck"

"Anthony! You've become a rare visitor down here lately, my dear boy. How may I help you?"

"Got anything on Petty Officer King?"

"Yes, I do indeed. Cause of death was multiple organ failure due to fatal damage caused by stabs to the chest. " the examiner informed Tony.

"Thanks, Duck" Tony turned to leave, but stopped again when he heard Ducky call out.

"That's not all, Anthony. The knife found next to the body was an ordinary kitchen knife, found in almost every household...but the wounds were definitely caused by a much shorter, but sharper blade."

Tony was silent for a moment while he connected the pieces in his mind. "So, are you sayin' that our murder weapon isn't our murder weapon?" he asked.

"That is exactly what I'm saying, although I hope Abigail will have some more information on that subject. This reminds me of a case I had in '92. A Lieutenant was found shot in the woods with a gun next to him. The case seemed obvious, but then-"

"Thanks Duck" Tony interrupted and walked out.

Back at the bullpen he almost ran into McGee who had just come from his coffee break, a huge smile on his face, he had obviously not been drinking his coffee alone. "Anything new on the case?" he asked.

"Yeah. We need the murder weapon, McSmileyface, and pronto!" McGee looked as if Tony had just told him a pink elephant was eating coconuts in Abby's lab. "Ummm, we have a weapon...Abby is running-"

"-the prints on the knife from the crime scene, which didn't fit the wounds on Petty Officer King." Gibbs ended McGee's sentence. "And those prints belong to Stacey Fitzgerald, the neighbour who found the body. Trace her cell, she doesn't answer any calls and get me some information!"

"On it Boss." Both agents said in a chorus and raced to their desks to start working. This case was getting much more interesting than it had looked in the beginning.

Sooo what do you think? Short i know, but i just wanted to see how everything works. Do you want me to continue? - please review! :)
