NCIS Bullpen

It is very late on a Tuesday and the team had just finished up a particularly hard case. Everyone but Tony and Ziva has gone home.

Tony: Ziva, shouldn't you be at home?

Ziva: Shouldn't you be, as well?

Tony: There's no way I'll be able to sleep tonight

Ziva: I feel the same way, this case was rather difficult

Tony: It brought back memories I thought I had buried deeply

Ziva: I figured something like that when we interrogated him and you almost walked out of interrogation

Tony: It just makes me sad to see what one little emotion can do to an entire family. I just wish…..

Ziva: I know

Tony: Sometimes, I look at the case files and wonder if we actually did anything

Ziva: What do you mean?

Tony: It seems like every time we catch another murderer or terrorist that there's another one in their place

Ziva: I understand, but we do help, we save countless innocent lives and give grieving families the justice they deserve

Tony: I know, but still

Ziva: Why don't you come over to my place, I'll make us dinner and then we can watch a movie, something to get our minds off of this

Tony: That sounds like a good idea

The two walked into the elevator their fingers barely touching; completely unaware that Gibbs was watching them, thinking about Tony's words and wondering whether to give them a by on rule 12 or not. "If those two ever admit their feelings maybe they could prove me and Jen wrong"
