"What ya reading Zi Va?" Tony leaned over and picked up the open book from Ziva's desk and read the title. "Deep Styx II, ah McGee's new book is it good?"

"Hilarious," Ziva smiled taking the book back, "I especially enjoyed page 72 when special agent Tomy's true self is revealed."

"Let me see that." Tony snatched the book back off of Ziva's desk and flipped the book open to page 72. 'Special agent Tomy stared at the man in front of him. The man's blond hair almost completely covered his eyes just the way Tomy liked it. Contrary to his coworker's knowledge Tomy was not the person they thought he was. His constant outreaches towards women were really a mask to hide his true feelings.' "Oh McGee is dead." Tony slammed the book closed and dropped it back on Ziva's desk anger showing to all but hidden deep beneath was fear. Just then McGee walked into the bullpen. "Ah McGee just the author I wanted to see."

McGee's eyes went from the fuming Dinozo to his book on Ziva's desk "Tony I …" He was cut off by Tony who grabbed the collar of his shirt and dragged him into the empty elevator as soon as it started moving Tony hit the power switch and turned to McGee. "Tony it's a book, it's fiction it's …" Tony put his hand up to stop McGee's rambling.

"How long have you known?"

Realizing Tony was not mad McGee calmed down. "I've thought so for a while but I wasn't positive."

"Well now you do, are you going to tell anyone?"

"No."

Tony nodded "Clutch your stomach."

"What why?"

"Ziva thinks I am killing you act like I punched you in the stomach I have a reputation to hold up."

Tim nodded understanding and put his hand over his stomach as the elevator dinged and he stumbled into the bullpen.
