A/N: So lately on NCIS I've been feeling the lack of Tiva and it's really starting to get to me. We have been waiting for just over 7 seasons for them to get together but it seems even worse these last few seasons as we have had hardly any Tiva moments and the ones we do have are not very long. So I decide to write this ff as a way to get my Tiva fix in order to keep me going. I hope it also helps any Tiva fan out there who also needs a fix to keep on going...

Chapter One

Walking briskly down a street in East LA Ziva tried to blend in and not draw any attention to herself but that was hard to do; with her hair all dishevelled and blood stains on her trousers and at the bottom of her shirt as well as the fact that she was a single woman by herself walking through a rough neighbourhood. It was broad daylight making it harder for her to look inconspicuous but she ignored all that and continued down the street briskly knowing that she had to put some distance between herself and the terrorist safe house before the police showed up or better yet someone recognised her.

But before she could disappear completely and followed protocol she had to make an important phone call, a phone that she was dreading as it was about to turn her life upside down.


Tony sat in the bull pen at his desk desperately trying to concentrate on file he was reading whilst trying to ignore the massive pile of files that sat at the end of his desk waiting for him, but his mind was on a beautiful exotic brunette he spent the weekend with. And with that memories of their activities came flooding back producing a goofy grin on his face as he relived every moment of a spectacular weekend.

His focus was snapped back into the present when he heard his name being called by his partner Kate.

"Tony, Tony, Tony" she shouted causing Gibbs and Mcgee to turn their attention towards him.

"What?" replied Tony trying to look innocent whilst avoiding Gibbs' gaze.

"I've been calling your name for the last couple of minutes Tony what's with you today. Normally you at least attempt to look like you're doing your paperwork but today you've been off you game and staring off into space with this goofy look on you face that is really starting to creep me out. What's wrong with you?" asked Kate.

"Nothing Kate absolutely nothing" grinned Tony "you might even say that something is very very right with world at the moment."

"Did you have a hot date last weekend then Tony" injected Mcgee who had also notice that Tony seemed rather distracted this morning.

"You could say that Mcgeek" replied Tony and to everyone's surprise he didn't elaborate further on just who his date was, how it went or what she looked like.

"Well isn't this where you normally tell us all the gory details" inquired Kate who had noticed the lack of information from Tony which was a deviation from his normal bragging routine making her slightly suspicious that maybe there was something more to this date then Tony was letting on.

"Nope, not this time Kate, I'm afraid you're going to have to live vicariously through Mcgeek if you ever want to experience the thrill of the opposite sex's company that is if he ever gets a date."

And with this Tony went back to his work completely ignoring the looks of surprise on Kate and Mcgee's face knowing that the brunette in question would kill him if he let slip any details about their relationship to his colleagues. In doing this Tony did miss the look that Gibbs sent him it was a thoughtful look it was as if Gibbs had finally realised that there was something new about Tony and he was trying to figure out just what it was and when did it occur.

What Gibbs didn't know was that all would be revealed very soon and it would start with a phone call.


It had been at least an hour since their last conversation and Kate was still trying to figure out what was going on with Tony. At first she thought that perhaps he had been lying about his date when he had failed to follow through with his normal bragging routine, but then she dismissed that idea as only a date followed by desert could put Tony in that good of a mood. Then it hit her, that this woman who ever she is must be something really special to cause Tony to act like this which intrigued Kate and maybe just maybe made her feel a little bit threaten as well.

Knowing that she needed more information Kate decided that now was the perfect time to interrogate Tony about his date seeing as they were almost finished with their latest stack of paperwork and the fact that it was also almost lunch time.

But before she could even open her mouth and gain Tony's attention his phone rang.
