A/N: Okay, so this is the PREQUEL to Our Mission, I thought this was essential because it really makes no sense because they're already in Italy and Tony's staring at Ziva and blah blah blah blah…. I'm hoping you get the gist of it (:

"Dinozzo! David! My office, now!" Vance shouted from the rails of MTAC.

Tony and Ziva made their way up the stairs to his office, they were both anxious to find out why he had wanted them both at his office when there wasn't a case.

"Sit down, do you have any idea why you're here?"

"Because we work here?" Said Tony stupidly, with this he received a jab in the ribs from Ziva.

Vance just ignored them and continued to speak.

"You have a choice, you two can go to Italy posing as a married couple to gather intel for three months"

"Or what?" huffed Ziva

"Your Mossad liaison position will be terminated and you'll go back to Israel and Agent DiNozzo will become the Agent Afloat on the USS Ronald Reagan"

"Married couple in Italy" they said together, still shocked about their so called "choice", did Vance threaten them if they don't go to Italy they'd be out of the agency?

"You leave tomorrow 0800, when arriving in Italy you'll be escorted to your three month home. Also, you'll be providing us on the Cametti family, we believed they murdered Lieutenant Annalisa Williams when she was over there visiting family last"

Vance handed Tony and Ziva the papers, which they both signed, not even bothering to read what was written there.

Vance took back the papers and smiled, "I'll see you in three months time, Officer David and Agent DiNozzo, or should I say, Mr and Mrs DiNozzo?"

To find out what happens next, read Our Mission, where the couple find themselves in Italy, chasing down a serial killer, their family, notorious gangsters, a four year old, and many many confessions. TIVA.
