Here is your update from the newest episode! Oh, by the way, does anyone think E.J. should be the P2P killer just so we can get rid of her?

Tony was at his desk doing paperwork when Ziva came in the bullpen.

"Hi." Ziva said.

"Hey." He answered back. Silence stood between them as Ziva sat at her desk. Tony looked up from his work to see her typing. He stared at her.

"What?" Ziva asked noticing the concerned look on her partner's face.

"I was just thinkin'." Tony said nonchalantly before going back to his work. Ziva cocked her head to the side, giving him a puzzled look before going back to her report. What was wrong with him?

A few hours later, Tony and Ziva got in the elevator to go home.

"Tony?" Ziva asked.

"Yeah?" He answered.

"What was it like bringing in your old boss?" The other agent was silent. He had never fully realized what he had done. Ziva glanced at him once he did not answer. Had she opened an up an old wound? She new it was too soon to ask him the question she had.

"I hadn't really thought about 'til now." Tony finally said as they walked out of the elevator. "I guess I feel relieved. The copy- cat's been put away and I solved my partner's death." Each agent was silent again as they noticed Tony's abrupt stop in the conversation. Tony was the first to speak.

"Do you think he'll go after anyone else?" He questioned as they stopped near their cars.

"Here?" Ziva asked. "I do not see how he could-"

"No, I mean someone I am close to." Tony interjected.

"Oh." Ziva said clearly a bit shocked to have the question addressed to her. Why would he talk to her about his girlfriend? She had normally been a rarely mentioned topic of discussion. Ziva decided to answer honestly.

"There is a possibility." Ziva said as they started walking again. "The Port to Port Killer could go after Agent Barrett, but not because of you." Tony's eyebrows shot up.

"She is trying to catch him." Ziva replied. He sighed and shook his head.

"Do you think he would go after anyone on our team? You know, like McGee," he paused before speaking again, "or you?" He finished. Ziva stood still a moment contemplating what he had told her. Is that why he gave her that concerned look earlier? Had he been worried she would be next? Finally, she spoke.

"I do not think you have to worry." Ziva said slowly. "Besides," she went on, "we both trust you." Tony internalized his partner's answer. After each was silent for a moment, Ziva lightly put her hand on his arm.

"We will be fine Tony." Ziva said softly. "You do not need to be afraid of losing us." He smiled weakly at her.

"I have your six." Ziva told him as she took her hand away.

"Thanks." Tony answered, remembering the presence where her hand had been placed on his arm.

"You are welcome." Ziva told him. "I will see you tomorrow yes?" She asked.

"Yeah." Tony answered. "Night." She gave him a smile.

"Night." She said before they parted. Tony walked to his car and unlocked it. As he got in, he thought about everything he and Ziva had said. He smiled, thankful he had Ziva as a partner who would always be able to talk to and comfort him.
