Elisa gave me the prompt, "hold." I don't own NCIS.
"The rule does not hold."
"Which rule?"
"Rule Number 3. Never be unreachable."
"Well, what do you mean, it doesn't hold?"
"Nobody follows it outside of the office."
"I do!"
"I know you do, Ziva. But McGee doesn't," he backtracked.
Ziva chuckled and finished cleaning the kitchen before walking into the living room. She sat down on the couch and looked at him. "Why should McGee answer your phone calls when you do not answer when he calls, Tony?" she asked.
DiNozzo turned and looked at Ziva. "I am the senior field agent. What if there was an emergency? If he doesn't answer, then he won't know what is going on. He has to be reachable at all times," Tony seriously replied.
Ziva raised her eyebrows and and shook her head. "What emergency do you have, Tony?" she questioned, watching him.
Tony looked at her, hesitating for a moment. "My tv's not working right," he sheepishly admitted.
"You are hopeless, Tony," she said, looking back into his eyes.
"But you love me," he stated.
"Yes, I do," Ziva replied.
Tony looked down at her, smirking, and kissed her lips. Ziva kissed him back, grinning. Even though Tony acted like a child sometimes, Ziva was there to take care of him no matter what.
