Please tell review and tell me shall I go on or change techniques or what?
Thank you papillongirl for reviewing my story
Chapter 2 '' Thank you''
Tony spent the way back to the headquarter very silent considering that tender touch of Ziva that he has never seen from her before
She actually held his aching head for him in a way that he had never felt from her before
I should say thanks, but how can you say thank you to a ninja chick without getting hit or killed by a stapler
She was so nice and caring when she have seen his pain
She always can see through my soul
She knows when to stop and when to push
I do not know what to do to thank her??? Was the last thought in Tony's mind when he realized that they reached headquarters
Tony then spotted Gibbs who looked as annoyed as Tony by the death of the marine
Gibbs looked flushed as if he was caught in a bad memory also
He seemed annoyed with the fact that the marine was said to commit suicide
That also brought painful memories of Jenny
Then Tony was distracted by the fact that McGee is going to be in a miss
He promised himself not to annoy him for a couple of days until he recovers from the shock
Ziva in the meanwhile made no reaction to any thing happening, but inside there was a lot going on
Why did I hold his head for him like that?
Why did not I think,, I'm a Mosade agent for God's sake?
Get a grip of yourself
What will he think I'm trying to do now?
what shall I do??
The elevator stopped and they went into the bullpen
Tony saw McGee nowhere near.. he actually started to worry about him
Did I really just think about that?
He went to his desk and put his gun , badge and bag aside and then went to Abby to give her the evidence to process
He took a glance at Ziva who was still unpacking her stuff
There is something about you that I will never understand Ziva Tony told himself
He went to the elevator and it was about to close when Ziva with her ninja skills was inside with him in no seconds
He gave her one of Gibbs's stares but was defeated very fast as she always wins with her deadly stares
Tony thought about saying ''thank you'' but he was scared of her reaction
He did not know what she will
He decided finally to say '' thank you'' by his usual way of ordering pizza on him for this time if she allowed him and if not he thought he would say it honestly to the Ziva while leaving headquarter and then face the fire of his angry partner
If there is one thing that Tony learned while serving for the Navy it was to tell about what you feel to the ones you care for, before it is too late
This a thought that never left Tony's mind since Kate's murder
Kate again she was a real sister to him, some one he can talk to openly unlike Ziva
Ziva represented power to Tony
She always pushes everything to the limit, but today she just stopped and said she understands
Does she really understand how he longs for someone to talk to and open up to, a real relationship that is more than an overnight sleep
Like he did with her before Jeanne came to his life
Tuesday nights and how he waited for them
Why did that change?
I really miss you Ziva
I really do
All that time and Ziva was living in her own world of different thoughts
Why is he not talking?
Tony are you that hurt inside you would be making a joke about what happened by now?
What happened to you Tony??
The elevator stopped at Abby's lab and she did not yell to greet them as usual, there was no music in the background
She was working on her computer on the photos of the crime that they sent her earlier
McGee was standing besides her staring at the crime scene photos and his face a bit reddish
'' I am really sorry for your lose, Tim'' Ziva said, startling everyone around her
Even Timmy was shocked more about consolation than the murder for a second
He then remembered and mumbled a '' thank you'' broken phrase
Tony put his hand on Tim's shoulder to give him moral support for a moment then stood back
'' he was a great friend of my family'' McGee said in a broken voice '' I cannot believe that he committed suicide ''
After that a sobbing was heard and the three realized that it was Abby crying
She went over to McGee and gave him one of her relieving hugs.
Then she stopped herself and went back to her work mumbling something about '' evidence, analysis, mystery''
Tony and Ziva during that hug felt out of place and awkward, they exchanged an acknowledging look and then kept watching
When McGee pulled himself together he said '' I guess Gibbs will not allow me to be part of that investigation ''
Out of no where Gibbs appeared as usual '' you will be part, McGee but only watching, David and DiNozzo will do the hard work for you ,and we will find the killer'' said Gibbs with his blue eyes on his youngest agent ,Tony could swear he saw a flash of concern crosses his face
''So, you do not believe that he killed himself '' said McGee as his voice was a bit cheerful now
''No I do not'' was all what Gibbs said and then said ''Dinozzo, David, you with me now'' both Tony and Ziva followed Gibbs to the elevator leaving a suffocating McGee from a crying '' I knew he would believe it '' Abby
In the elevator Gibbs told his two agents to go to pack their bags as they are going to go afloat on a ship where their dead marine was last assigned and charged two days ago
Tony did not feel comfortable about going on a ship again after that long 6 month of isolation as an only cop of 400 young sailors
Ziva on the other hand felt something unusual in her 'gut' about not going on board of that ship, but threw that thought at the back of her mind
She went to follow Tony out of the elevator as he hurried to gather his things, but she failed to avoid the discomfort she felt towards that mission
That's it for this chapter
Sorry my writing is not always in abbreviation as I study and write always in formal English
Sorry for the long exposition, but I had to establish a steady floor for my story
I hope you like it so far, please if you have any suggestions, constructive criticism, and any comment review and tell me your opinion
The next chapter will show the beginning of the problem that Tony and Ziva will face in their mission
I already started in chapter 3 so please, please, please review and tell me your opinion, as I am practically begging!!
