A/N: Eeeep!! I am soooo uber excited to be writing another story! I had so much fun last time!! I have been dieing to write, but my mom was being extremely idiotic so this was the first chance I got. I hope it doesn't suck to much I only got two hours of sleep!=D
PS: I don't own NCIS or things would be a lot different!
Early Friday evening team Gibbs was all working hard at their desk when unexpectedly Tony jumps up and yells.
"Yes! I got it I FINALLY got it!!"
"What did you get?" Ziva asked with an extremely confused look on her face.
"A reason to close that rape case! I found a video camera in the area and looked over the tape and found footage of the creepy neighbor and the girl a half hour before her death!" Tony said with a triumphant look on his face.
"David DiNozzo go pick him up." Gibbs said in his usual gruff manner. When Gibbs was out of ear shot Ziva asked.
"How does he do that? I just cannot understand it…"
"Ha-ha well Ziva it is a mystery that we will never figure out and the sooner you except that the better." He said with a grin still on his face. The ride to his house was a peaceful with only one interruption by Tony about a movie.
"I cannot believe it!" Tony said with an incredulous look on his face. "It is a classic!"
"Tony what isn't a classic to you?" Ziva asked. However, Tony just ignored her.
"I'll tell you what you if he is the right guy you come over my apartment and we will watch it just like when I was in charge." Tony said. Ziva thought about it for a moment before answering. I do miss our movie nights, and maybe this time something will happen other then us eating pizza and drinking beer…
"Oh all right Tony, but if only you buy the pizza." She said.
"Alright but could you bring over a six pack I am running low." He said giving her a typical DiNozzo grin.
"Deal." She said returning his smile. By now, they had pulled up at the suspect's house.
"I do not feel good about this." Ziva said.
"Me either, grab the vest from the back real quick." Tony said. Ziva complied with out a complaint. Once both of their vests were securely in place they stepped out of the safety of the car. Tony rang the doorbell twice before announcing himself and kicking the door in. With guns drawn, they cleared room by room until they made it to the kitchen. Tony was in front of Ziva and before he knew what was happening he heard gunfire, feeling a sharp pain in his chest combined with the impact of the bullet Tony fell over and passed out.
Ziva was following Tony into the kitchen when she heard gunfire and saw Tony fall to the ground. Running on autopilot Ziva shot the suspect once in the shoulder to make him drop the gun and twice in each leg to make sure he would not run away. Once she kicked the gun out of the way, she whipped out her cell phone and called for an ambulance.
(Unconscious Tony's thoughts.)
That is just great! You finally work up enough nerve to tell Ziva that you love her and you die! At least I went out with a bullet in my chest… I am going to miss everyone Ziva, Gibbs, Abby, Ducky, even McGee and Palmer. Hey, wait is that Ziva calling my name?!? Great! She died too! Gibbs is going to raise me from the dead to kill me again. Huh, I don't feel dead…
"Tony! Tony please wake up!" Ziva yelled. Wait a second should there be more blood? Not a second later Ziva ripped open Tony standard NCIS issue jacket to see that his tyvex vest had stopped the bullet. Ziva almost cried in relief when Tony started coming too.
"Wait I'm not dead?" Tony asked.
"No" Ziva said chuckling "Your vest stopped the bullet."
"I swear to God I never loved a piece of clothing more in my life!*" Tony said he started to laugh, but quickly stopped when a sharp pain shot through his chest. Seeing the look of pain Ziva was instantly concerned. Opening up his shirt and seeing the sickly bruise forming on his chest she called over one of the EMT's.
"Well there is no major damage, however I would see you doctor about that take two Tylenols* and put ice on that, it is going to be sore." He said before giving them a quick smile and turning back to the suspect.
"Great I guess I will have to schedule an appointment with Brad tomorrow." Tony said with a childish pout on his face.
"Oh do not pout Tony maybe if you are a good boy they will let you have a lollipop." She said giving him a fake sympathetic look.
"H a h a very funny Ze." Tony said very seriously, but a smile crept up on his face despite him.
"You will have to tell Gibbs and Abby." Ziva said giving him a wicked grin.
"Oh come on Ze! Cant you come with me?!?" Tony asked giving her his best puppy dogface.
"Ha-ha that might work for Abby, but it does not work for you." She said smiling. As much as Tony protested, Ziva drove them back to NCIS head quarters. Abby was up in the bullpen waiting for them to come back.
"YEAH! You guys are back and in one piece!" Abby said running over to them as best she could in three-inch platform heels. "I had the most hinky feel about you guys going out to get him!" Giving Ziva a hug and now running over to hug Tony. Before Ziva could stop her, she gave him a massive bear hug.
"Abby wait do not…" However, Ziva was interrupted by Tony's cry of pain.
"Tony what is wrong?!?" Abby asked full of concern.
"Abby he got a gun shot, but his vest caught the bullet before it could do any major damage." Ziva replied for Tony.
"Oh Tony I am soooo sorry I had no idea! Maybe I should take that weird sexual harassment ladies advice and ask before I hug people. I just get so excited from all the caffeine and I can't help it maybe I should cut down on Caf-Pow's somehow." Abby stammered now pacing in front of Tony. He grabbed her shoulders to stop her and making sure she was listening he said.
"Abs I love your hugs and you don't need to cut down on Caf-Pow I love your crazy energy." Tony said looking deep in her eyes to make sure she got it.
"Thanks Tony you always know the right things to say to a lady." Abby said giving him a wink before heading back to her lab.
"DiNozzo!" Gibbs demanded.
"Yes boss." Tony asked getting nervous.
"Are more careful next time, you and Ziva can go home after you give me the rough draft of what happened." Gibbs said.
A/N: All right how terrible is it? There is going to be a lot more Tiva next chapter!;) It should be up sometime tomorrow if everything goes as plans! It is off to bed for me!=)
Much Love,
