So here it is...chapter two of I don't know how many :-) enjoy :-)
The Mossad officer smiled at Tony. "I am sure Officer David will tell you…Assassins love ugly. Especially Israeli ones. Especially Mossad ones."
Tony didn't falter. "She has but we aren't letting her go back to that life."
Ziva stared at the back of Tony's head in shock. "Tony, you liar!"
The Mossad Officer looked through the group at her. "It seems Officer David-" he paused and looked back at Tony. "-Wants to go back to Israel. Now step aside before I am forced to shoot you all for obstruction."
"Tony…do…as…he…says" Ziva said. She tried to go through the group but there was no way through.
Tony shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere…and neither is she" He didn't move. "I'll shoot you if I have to."
Ziva stepped back. "I hate you, Tony. I hate you." She shoved him to get through but Tony was glued to his spot.
Tony glanced at Ziva. "No you don't" He glared at the Officers.
"Yes I do." She replied.
McGee spoke up and said with anger that shocked even him "Ziva isn't going anywhere. We will kill you if we have too. And we won't even hesitate."
The Officer who was leading the group glanced at his team. "You have…what is it you Americano's you say…guts?"
Tony clenched his jaw. "Screw this." He shot the leading Officer in the groin and then three times in the chest. The Officers all pulled their weapons. Gibbs shot the one in front of him in the head and McGee followed suit. Three of the remaining Officers threw themselves at Tony, Gibbs and McGee. The fourth grabbed Abby. Abby screamed as he used her as a shield held a gun to her head. Ziva spun to face them and then and only then did she draw her weapon. "I'll kill her if you don't stop!" Ziva conversed angrily with the Officer for a few moments before he started pulling the trigger. Abby heard it and squeezed her eyes shut. She was surprised when she heard the gun go off but she didn't fall or die. She felt someone grab her arms and she opened her eyes to see Ziva pulling her away to under her desk. "Stay here" Abby crawled under Ziva's desk and was soon joined but Ducky and Palmer. Tony watched what Ziva had done for Abby and looked on as she hustled Abby, Ducky and Palmer under her desk for protection. An Officer was about to grab her as she stood up from taking to the three under her desk but Tony didn't give him a chance shooting him in the back of the head. There were only two Officers left and Ziva started shouting at them in Hebrew. They shouted back even though one was having a fight with Gibbs and McGee and the other was running at Tony. Ziva turned to see the Officer running at Tony gun raised. "Tony!" He spun around and shot him in the gut. He walked over to him and said "Shouldn't have messed with a DiNozzo" before he raised his gun and put the man out of his misery. Gibbs shot the last guy who was choking McGee. Ziva looked at all the dead bodies in the Squadroom. "We are lucky it is early and no one is here yet."
Tony looked at her. "True. Hey…I'm sorry I didn't let you go. I just couldn't face losing you. Kill me if you want to"
Ziva spun and held a gun to Tony's throat. He took a deep breath in. "Next time you don't do what I tell you when it concerns my people and my life…then I will" She re-holstered her gun and grabbed his face and kissed him. When she broke away she said "Idiot…Tony you're an idiot."
Tony nodded and kissed her back. "I know Zi…I know but you obviously still love me…so you don't care"
Ziva stepped back and looked at the dead bodies again. "My father is honestly going to kill me…These are his best Officers. I know them all…I trained with seven of them and one was my tutor."
Tony looked at her guilt on his face. "If he touches you, Ziva, I'll kill him"
Ziva shook her head. "He's my father. You will not touch him. No matter what he has done…he is still my father and I don't want him dead. I'm going to call him"
Tony looked away. "Zi"
Ziva paused. "What?"
"I'm sorry."
Ziva sighed "You don't need to be sorry. You did nothing wrong." She put her phone back in her pocket and lifted the arm of one of the Mossad Officers and started to yank it. "Help me move the bodies out." The others who had been making sure everyone was okay now stopped and looked at Ziva. She was trying to shift the body but couldn't. She dropped the arm and squatted down and started crying.
"Hey" Tony walked up to her and pulled her up. "Hey, Ziva look at me" She looked up at him. "Come here" He pulled her away from the others into a private area of the squadroom. "Talk to me…what's wrong?" Z
iva looked at him in disbelief. "Did you just ask me what's wrong? Those men who were just killed? They were my friends. I killed one of my friends Tony. They did not even shoot first. NCIS did. They would not have hurt me or any of you"
Tony looked at her. "Ziva I am so sorry"
Ziva looked away. "That is why my father sent them. He knew they would use their weapons for display or to protect me. The reason they acted the way they did is because you shot first."
Tony stepped away from her. "I'm sorry…I should have just let you go"
Ziva nodded. "That is what I told you. I am going to call my father then move-" she gestured to the bodies. "-them"
Tony looked at the bodies. "We'll do it when you're gone. I'm sorry"
...
Ziva came back from the bathroom after calling her father and walked to sit at her desk. Tony watched her as she entered. "You okay?"
Ziva nodded once and fired up her computer. "I'm fine. When I spoke to my father he said I could stay."
Tony carried on looking at her even though she wasn't looking at him. "Really?"
Ziva nodded. "Yes. He realised- once I told him everything- that you really do love me…and I quote him exactly- "Tony…loves you…he is dedicated to keeping you…this hurts Ziva…especially after everything…but you may stay."
Tony smiled. "So you're not leaving?"
Ziva shook her head. "No…for now I stay" She finally looked up at him and smiled. "Sorry for shouting at you…and saying I hated you…If you'd been killed that would have been the last thing I would have said to you and I wouldn't have been able to live with that."
Tony smiled. "I am glad you're staying." He turned serious and looked Ziva in the eye. "Yeah…well it happened and you can't go back but I'll forgive you" Ziva looked down at her hands and let a tear fall. Tony stood and walked over to her. "Ziva…I forgive you…Its okay…we're okay…I love you" He pulled her into a hug and she relaxed a bit.
"I held a gun to your throat…how are you okay with that?"
Tony squeezed her. "Because I love you."
Ziva rested her head on Tony's chest. "Never let me do or say that again" she said quietly.
Tony nodded "Agreed"
Ziva sighed in relief. "You do know I don't hate you…don't you?"
Tony nodded and walked back to his desk. "It's okay…you were just emotional"
Ziva nodded. "What happened to the bodies?"
Tony shrugged. "I don't know. Gibbs took them and sent me out."
Ziva nodded. "Okay…They're probably down in Autopsy. I said some horrible stuff to them…before we shot them…especially the one who had Abby."
Tony looked at her. "What did you say? I really need to learn Hebrew."
Ziva shrugged. "It's a bit too inappropriate to repeat…but know that it was very rude and offensive and in your defence"
Tony sighed. "Zi"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry" Tony looked away.
"Why?"
Tony looked at the floor. "Because I killed your friends."
Ziva nodded. "So did I. You have nothing to be sorry about." Ziva got up and walked over to Tony's desk. "Besides those friends were nothing compared to you, Gibbs, Abby, McGee, Ducky and Palmer." Tony looked up at her and pulled her down into his lap and nuzzled his face into her hair. "I love you"
Ziva smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "And I love you…and Gibbs and Abby and McGee and Palmer and Ducky…but I'll let you in on a secret I've had for a long time."
Tony looked at her. "Do share"
Ziva smiled. "I love you more than the others."
