At home Ziva sat down on her bed with the file on her lap. "So that is what the Director meant by party" she whispered to herself holding an invitation to dinner at the White House that evening. She got up and looked at the time. "Who hired them?" wondered Ziva as she got an evening dress out her wardrobe and started to get ready.
A short time later there was a knock at the door, it was Tony "Ziva, are you in there?" asked Tony. Ziva panicked and ignored him hoping he would go away. But Ziva had forgotten she had given him a spare key and he might use it. She made up her mind and walked to the door. "Hi Tony, just give me a sec!" shouted Ziva, as she grabbed her coat and opened the door. Tony was standing there with a rose in his hand. Ziva blushed as he kissed her cheek. "So do you want to go to dinner?" asked Tony, taking Ziva's hand. Ziva had to think of an excuse fast as time was running out, it was 5.30 and the party was at 6.00.
Tony saw the expression on her face and smiled. "I know what happened, the Director gave you a secret mission and I understand you can't say a thing, I'll take off" replied Tony sadly as he walked away.
Ziva's phone began to ring, it was Gibbs. "Change of plan, you won't be doing it alone. There are two assassins. Call DiNozzo, brief him on the mission, tell him he needs a Tux." Informed Gibbs. Ziva smiled "Thanks boss, I'll do that" answered Ziva.
Ziva ran after Tony happily. "Tony, Tony stop I have good news, you're coming along on the mission too. Isn't that great?" smiled Zia as she walked into Tony's arms. She filled him in on the mission. Tony stroked the back of her head, "so it looks like I'm coming along with you then. So do you still have the tux I left here a few weeks ago?" said Tony softly. Zia nodded and led him inside. "Hurry up! We have to get to the White House in twenty minutes" reminded Zia as she put her makeup on.
Tony came out of the bedroom smiling. "So the White House hey Emma, oh, and you never told me my name for this mission" said Tony. Zia look at him blankly. "Gibbs is going to come round in a minute and give you your file OK" said Zia as he looked her up and down. As Zia and Tony put their coats on there was a knock at the door. Zia opened it to find Gibbs with the file. "You two better hurry up, you'll be late" said Gibbs sternly as he handed the file to Tony. "Thanks boss we won't let you down" smiled Tony as he pulled out his invitation for the party.
