Hello everyone. I started to write that story a long time ago. I am now publishing the beginning. If you like it I will publish more.

It starts at the end of season 5 after Judgment Day, when Vance tells the team they are being transferred. Some things are going to go differently though. Jenny might even come back later on...

I hope you like it.


When they got out of Vance's office after being told they were going to leave NCIS for a ship or Tel Aviv or being transferred to the cybercrimes, Ziva, Tony, McGee and Gibbs were beyond pissed. It was already hard enough to lose Jenny, but now they would have to leave their team, their family.

Gibbs was the first one to speak. "Get Abby and come down to autopsy." he ordered.

They knew better than to ask questions. Ziva called Abby and told her to meet them in autopsy. She was worried but did as she was told. When they got to autopsy she was already there, along with Gibbs and Ducky. Ducky pushed the infection in autopsy button just like they had when Ziva was in trouble with the FBI and they didn't want anyone to know what they were talking about.

Nobody was saying anything and Tony was getting angry. He was already blaming himself for Jenny's death so he wasn't in the mood for nobody speaks. "Okay, what is this about?" he asked eyeing Gibbs.

"Glad you asked," he began and everyone in the room looked at him waiting, "Tony you're not going on that ship and Ziva you are not going back to Mossad." Their jaws dropped.

"How exactly do you plan on doing that?" Abby asked seeing as no one else was able to say anything. There was no way Gibbs already had a plan. Okay he was good. Probably the best. But he wasn't that good. She was soon proven wrong.

"Well, I already knew what Vance was going to do with you so I organized some things. Vance has no direct connections to the ship Tony is supposed to go to. I, on the other hand, have some. And a couple of men on that ship owe me big. They weren't happy to do it but they agreed to make Vance believe Tony would go and stay there. As for Ziva, it was slightly more complicated. Eli doesn't really like me, not at all actually but for some weird reason though, he trusts me and he told me he wanted Ziva to be safe and happy. The only way that can happen is by staying with us. I couldn't believe what he was telling me, but he did. He agreed too, to make Vance believe you were there Ziva. And McGee you're staying here at cybercrimes. Vance comes by every week so we couldn't really fake you being where he is too. But you'll be able to control every computer stuff you have in mind to keep contact with DiNozzo and Ziva. Abby, you and Ducky are of course staying here working like you always did. And I'll get a new team 'til I can convince that ass of Vance to bring you back. There's also something else I can't tell you about yet, but that could take months - is going to take months. Everybody okay with this?"

They were all just staring at him. Firstly because they had never heard him speak so much on one go and Tony and Ziva, who were so happy that they wouldn't have to go to Tel Aviv and the middle of the ocean, were at a loss of words. Tony's mouth was still open so Gibbs head slapped him. The sound made everyone come out of shock and yell a good 'What'.

"Ohh you heard me. Now, are you okay with this?" Abby was the first one to react and squealed before hugging Tony and Ziva.

"Thank you so much Gibbs. The last thing I wanted after this week is to go back to Israel." Ziva stepped to Gibbs and he hugged her. When he released her he saw the grin on Tony's face and he had to slap him again.

"Thank you, boss. So, where are Ziva and I going?" Gibbs had to hide a smile. He knew what he was about to say was going to piss Tony of so much he was probably going to yell at him, and even if he was going to lie about it he wanted to see the reaction.

"Tony you're going to Russia, Moskow to be precise and Ziva you're going to France, Paris. It's too dangerous if you stay together." He was having a hard time hiding his smirk.

"What? No way. I'm not leaving Ziva. You say it's dangerous if we're together, I say it's even worse if we're not. There's no way I'm going anywhere without her. I want us to be safe. I love her boss and screw rule number 12 I'm not leaving her."

They were all staring at him in shock and Gibbs got the reaction he wanted except when he looked over to Ziva. Now she had tears streaming down her cheeks. Ziva never cried. At least not when everybody else was around. That proved him just how much everything was affecting her. Jenny's death, having to leave, it was obviously too much for her, but he wasn't expecting that. He head-slapped them both and they both yelled 'what the hell Gibbs?'

"That was for breaking rule number 12, even if I already knew and I just wanted to see your reaction Tony. I'm not separating the two of you. You're both going to Paris and DiNozzo, if you hurt her, I hurt you." Tony and Ziva grinned and he picked her up and kissed her.

"Don't do that again." Ziva said to Gibbs, wiping the tears off her face.

"So, your plane is leaving tomorrow morning. Go pack your stuff say good bye and we see you in a couple months. We'll keep in touch don't worry. Your identity stays the same. You only get new cell phones where only Abby, Ducky, McGee and of course I can reach you, because I still don't trust Vance. You always answer the phone! For the rest I put a file together, with all the information you'll need in it. Are we all clear?" they all nodded.

"Good. For the ones who stay here, if you call them or they call you when you're at work you act as if they were on a ship and at the other end of the world. Vance has ears everywhere. When you're at home you can talk about Paris. Never, ever talk about it at work." They nodded and thanked him.

Tony and Ziva said their good byes and promised to contact them as often as they could. They picked up their stuff on their desks and left NCIS. They went to Ziva's place first and then to spent the night at Tony's. They're plane was leaving early. They decided to read the files in the plane and sleep for the night.
