Hola people! This is my take on what could happen between Ziva and Tony in the next episode "Chasing Ghosts"! Damn I'm looking forward to that episode! I'm sure it will be legendary :D
At first I want to say that English is not my favourite language when it comes to the grammar rules. I'm more the German and Latin kind of grammar-girl, but I'm sure you will understand my fic anyway. If there is something that doesn't make any sense please write it to me so I can change it! Thanks :)
Well then I want to say that I of course own NCIS so... April fool's! I own nothing besides my computer and this fanfic.
Please review! They will make my day! All kinds! Well maybe not something mean, but if you feel like writing a mean review then it's your choice, I don't care. We all have the right to speak ;)
It was a Friday evening. They had just solved a case this afternoon so left were to make their reports. It looked like both Ziva and McGee were almost done since they both were checking their reports from grammar mistakes. Tony himself was only half way through it because he had so many things on his mind these days and the common subject for all of his thoughts was Ziva. He knew she wasn't over the death of her father, but for a while he honestly thought she was alright, well as alright as she could be. Though lately she had seemed different and he could see it when he looked her in the eyes, it was like she was on another planet. She had defiantly something on her mind which had worried him a lot, but earlier this Friday when Abby had mentioned that Ziva was always busy; his worry had changes to something he couldn't quite place besides the fact it made his stomach hurt. What was she up to?
Tony's thoughts were interrupted by McGee leaving with a quick "goodnight". The ninja had begun to shot her computer down so if he had to do something or say something before the weekend it had to be now.
"So Ziva, what are your plans for this weekend?" He asked and trying to sound normal though he didn't feel normal at all.
He swore he saw her going from suspicious to confused and in the end relaxed before she answered: "Well Tony if you most know, I'm going to relax and maybe read a good book"
Did she think he was stupid? He knew that she knew that he can always tell when she is lying to him and she was clearly lying right now. He thought for a moment how he should continue this when he decided to keep the great mood. "You have bought those "Fifty Shades books haven't you"? I have heard that they are pretty sexy"! He said and gave her a flirtatious smile. She just rolled her eyes and grabbed her gears, about to leave when Tony came over to her desk standing in front of her.
"You are sure you are alright?" He asked seriously. Ziva could see how worried he looked and she started to wonder how much he already knew.
"What are you talking about Tony? I'm just fine" Her heart felt like it was about to hop out of her chest so nervous was she, because if he found out then he wouldn't let her go. If he knew he didn't show it, but with his next question she knew that he at least was suspicious about something because he had never asked her about it before. Or maybe she was the one who was suspicious of him; maybe he just wanted to spend some time with her. They had been closer lately.
"Well if you are fine, then I have been thinking if you want to do something tonight? Maybe grab some Chinese and then have a Pirates of Caribbean marathon at my place? I know how much you love Johnny Depp" He said showing his million dollar smile.
She glared at him a bit confused because she really wanted to do this, she needed this, but she just couldn't. Something was more important. "I am sorry Tony, maybe some other time. I am just really tired tonight". She smiled though it didn't reach her eyes. She walked past him towards the elevator and shortly after, she was gone.
20 minutes later he was done with his report too though it wasn't the best he had made. His mind was filled with Ziva and what trouble she was up to. Was she sitting in her apartment crying over that she wasn't a sister or a daughter to anyone? Just the thought of it gave him a huge knot in the stomach. Or was she, worst case scenario, trying to get revenge over that S.O.B Bodnar? All of it made him sick mentally because this was Ziva, his everything. The woman he loves and he can't live without her. He had to call McGee so he could track her cell. He had to know where she was. If she was in her apartment then he would check to see if she needed him. Or maybe she really was reading "Fifty Shades", yeah right he thought. Deep down he knew that she wasn't home, she was planning something and she wouldn't be home if she was – she had had Mossad-training after all. After few seconds McGee answered his phone.
Hey Probie! It's your amigo bueno! Would you do me a favor and track Ziva's cell?"
"Tony what are you doing"? McGee said a bit irritating
"Look Tim, I know that it's wrong, but I have to do it, I have to find out what Ziva is up to. I'm really worried about her".
McGee could really hear how worried Tony was so even though it wasn't fair to Ziva's privacy he knew he had to do it. Tony wasn't the only one who was worried now. "Alright Tony, but only because I literally can feel how worried you are through the phone… I'll call you when I got her location."
It was the longest five minutes in Tony's life. Of course the wait for a new film to be released could be hard, but this was killing him. Where could Ziva be? The sadness in her eyes had shown more and more the last four weeks, but when he thought about it her eyes had also shown some resolution which, honestly, scared him the most. He would do everything for her and he had to let her know that, even though he had said it to her before he had to let her know she wasn't alone. His thinking was interrupted by his cellphone.
"Where is she McGee"? He said right away.
"You are right Tony! She isn't home, she is in an office building which had been empty since last month because the company moved to a new building. Do you want me to come with you?" McGee asked a bit concerned too. Ziva was a big girl and could take care of herself, but he didn't like it either.
"No, thanks McGee… I have to do it alone" Tony answered. He was actually touched that McGee was worried too, even though it was their job to have each other backs it was still nice to have a friend like his probie.
"Alright Tony, be careful! I have sent you the address and good luck." McGee said before he hung up.
Thanks for reading! & Review!
