Detials

Ziva was surprised when she saw her old mentor standing at her desk at the NCIS headquarters.

"Shalom, Afrem. I hope you are well".

The older man grinned, and gave Ziva a hug.

"Shalom Ziva, yes I am well, I hope you can say the same. I would you to meet Alon, he is just fresh from the academy, I believe he still as innocent as the day he was born."

Ziva shook the very young man's hand.

"Ziva David, nice to meet you. I trust Afrem treats you well."

"Yes, Officer David"

"Just Ziva will do, Alon"

"Yes, Off…Ziva. Thank you"

Tony and McGee were both wandering into the bullpen eager to find out what this was all about.

Ziva turned around and proceeded to introduce Afrem and Alon to Tony, McGee and Gibbs who just walked in.

"So what brings you to NCIS" Gibbs didn't waste any time finding out what brought these two men to NCIS.

Afrem shook his head. "Not much, we had nothing to do and thought it would nice to visit a old friend of mine and ask her out to dinner"

"Afrem and not eating, how can I forget that. Yes, Afrem I would love to have dinner with the two of you" Ziva said happily thinking back to the days when she was learning with Afrem, he always knew exactly where the best local restaurants were to be found.

" Ziva, I am sure there is a toilet somewhere in this building, can you please tell me which way I should go"
Ziva gave Afrem the directions to the men's restroom and while Afrem made his way to the toilet she observed Alon.

" So how many miles does he make you run, or better yet how many times has he beaten the crap out of you"

Alon looked shooked, "excuse me"

Ziva laughed " I am not a fool, Alon. I used to be where you are now"

Alon looked ashamed. " I ran 10 miles this morning officer David"

" 10 miles he, not to bad Alon, not to bad at all."

Ziva smiled " Just a piece of advice Alon, details pay attention to details, it's what keeps you alive when you are on your own, or in you case it keeps you from running a marathon"

Alon looked like he didn't have a clue as to what she was telling him. Ziva laughed " You think you got it easy now but just wait until Afrem pushes you further into the game. Pay attention to details Alon, that's all I have to say"

" Do not spoil the boy, Ziva. That is not fair to him" Afrem had come back from the restroom and wasn't laughing anymore. The NCIS men all got a good look at him now, he was all business all of a sudden, no more fun and games.

" Since you have helped him along, why don't you tell me about those details"

Ziva grinned "mmm, are you sure….Afrem"

" Yes"

Ziva stood up walked over to Afrem and started cirkeling him " you are not using old spice but something else, let's see I do believe it's called Heat, isn't really your cologne, makes you smell a little weird. During our conversation you pressed the top of your pen 3 times, so I would presume with number 4 it would be BOOM. You are wearing 2 different kinds of socks and you have your handkerchief on the right side instead of the left. Do you want more….

" Yes, give me back my hotelkey"

Ziva sighed. " Sorry, I just had to try"

" and my carkey"

Ziva smiled and slowly gave the two keys back to Afrem.

"Wallet" Afrem held out his hand.

" Because once again, you did not succeed you can go out running with Alon tomorrow morning, but since I know it will not a punishment for you, it will be 15 miles instead of the 10 Alon will do"

Alon looked up " But I …"

Afrem simply said " that's 11, Alon you want to make it 12"

Afrem looked at Ziva " Something to add, Ziva"

Ziva just smiled " None at all Sir, whatever you say"

Afrem and Alon left and Ziva just kept smiling. While Tony and McGee were working on their paperwork Gibbs walked over to Ziva.

" Do you think he will notice you stole his hotel key all over again"

"Probably, which reminds me, I don't think I will make it in by 08.00 tomorrow. I've got some running to do"

The End.
