Disclaimer: Do not own NCIS….

Tony was having a hard time, they had taken on a case involving the infamous Werth, he hated Werth with a vengeance, having been once broken his nose two years ago. So okay it was a long time ago, he dislocated McGee's shoulder but McGee has two and he only has one nose and it's on his face. But what trouble's Tony more is his earlier conversation with Ziva.

"I'll see you later" Ziva said to Werth as she kisses his cheek, which did not bode well for Tony.

After Werth has left,

"So what's that like see you later as in goodbye or I'll see you later as in later on a date?"

"Are you having trouble understanding simple English Tony?"

"Just answer the question"

He was waiting for a response, but all he got is a secretive smile from Ziva, after they had finished they're reports and they turned to leave. Tony had watched as Ziva leave, he wanted to follow her to know where she is heading out to. But he knows that he must respect her privacy. He had learned it the hard way, it seems a long time ago but it's only a few months since he then had followed Michael Rivkin. The same old feeling erupted inside of him, the same feeling of jealousy, but it is different now, Werth has this strange connection to Ziva and Gibbs.

He had seen it with his own eyes, as once in an earlier case as Gibbs and Ziva had tried to save Werth, and even then Ziva is sympathetic towards Werth, in fact she was the one to calm him down when he'd gone ballistic after O.D.'ing on meds. He slammed her into the wall and lifted her, but she didn't do anything except stare into his eyes and this seems to calm him down. As he collapses, she held him to her chest after that they found out about the orderly she had beat the guy down. Furious at the thought that the orderly were the one who was responsible for Werth's condition.

But Tony must admit that Werth had save them once, and yet again Ziva was the one to recognize him and him recognizing her. Tony found himself holding his nose unconsciously at the sight of Werth. Trauma? Maybe, but he did not like that they are too close for comfort.

Just a few weeks ago, they had been doing well, not until the time where they had been in the darkened warehouse. Being the juvenile he is normally is, he had spoken of justifying the acts of terrorism. Ziva had shown a side of her he thought he would not see, her trauma at the hands of Saleem. She had shoved it deep down, acting fine, acting like it was beyond her. But that is the first time he had seen her show the signs. He could only encourage her to talk about it. But Ziva being Ziva had shared a little and closed off completely.

What bugs Tony most, is Ziva is comforting Werth, like the way she advised him on what to tell the wife of the marine that was killed. She connects to him, maybe because they had shared the same experience, being held captive in the dessert and tortured. They both had been gone through the same experience. The same fears, the same despair, but Ziva was surrounded by people that care unlike Werth. Sometime he tends to pity him but now not so much for he has Ziva's attention. And she is smiling at Werth, like they are both sharing a secret.

He is pissed, and he wanted to know here she had gone but he chose to remain where he is in a bar drinking the night away. As the jealousy eats him on the inside questions ringing in his ears, where is she? What is she doing? Is she with that guy? Downing haft a bottle of liquor he just lets the bitter taste drown out his sorrow…
