Gibbs wasn't an open man. You could either observe him or live without knowing him as person. He didn't show his feelings often, but he had them. He also had them for his senior agent. Gibbs didn't liked that Tony was on secret missions for director, but he respected it. He didn't tell him not to do it.
Gibbs sat with his desk, it was 8.00 and the team should have been there an hour ago. Paula and McGee sat with their desks, only Tony was missing. He is probably out on the director's order.
The silence filled the space, there was so quiet without him. McGee almost jumped, when they heard the director yelled from the door to MTAC.

"Gibbs where the hell is DiNozzo?" Jenny was angry; couldn't Tony see how important it was? if it was because he had slept too long, she would kill him!

"I really don't Director, isn't he out as a messenger for you?" he replied pin.

"No he isn't Special Agent Gibbs. Find him!"

"No need to" Tony yelled as he stepped out of the elevator.

"DiNozzo, where the hell have you been?" Jenny and Gibbs yelled at the same time, and a smile crushed Tony's lips.

"I was making homework Director. I have an address and a phone number" he was smiling his charming DiNozzo smile. And Jenny lightened up as a Christmas tree, smirking at Gibbs.

"Good work Tony, you are forgiven!" Jenny smiled and nodded as a sign for him to follow her into MTAC.

Gibbs just stood and looked angry after them, since when have DiNozzo agreed to be the directors dog? Nothing is like before.

"Tony close the door"

They walked into MTAC, there as always, was dark and gloomy. Many pictures of Ziva were on the big screen. Tony smiled when he saw her. It was pure luck he had met Ziva this morning. Or maybe it wasn't luck.

The Director will kill me for coming late again! The clock was 7.00; he was supposed to meet Jenny by now and when she should brief him about a new mission she always became, um tense. Tony took his cell and keys and ran down to his car. He quickly turned on the car and drove out on the street. A big mistake! At the same time as he drove out, a car came and he hit the side. FUCK, was his only thought. A very angry Ziva David jump out of the car and pointed her gun at him. Tony took his hands over his head.

"What the hell do you think you are doing? You flashed my car! Stupid American!" she looked up and saw Tonys face, shit what the hell had she said?

"First I smashed your car, not flashed, and second I'm really sorry Ziva, I will call someone who can fix it. If you need it I can give you a ride?"

"Yes. The Israeli embassy, please" her voice was more flirting know.

Tony called a friend and drove Ziva to the embassy. They talked as if they were friends, both of them tried to be attractive to the other. She had a mission. He had a mission. They had a mission.

Just before she closed the car door, she threw her business card on the seat. Smirking, Tony picked it up, the cell phone number was on the back. This will be too easy! They both thought when they said good buy.

"Do you have a date with her?" Jenny asked, studying his face. Tony couldn't fall in love with Ziva David! She needed to hold him close.

"Well, not actually a date. I umm, almost smashed her car" Jenny shook her head, why is this not surprising me?

"Ok. Now to the information. Ziva David. Born in Israel, had a baby sister and a big brother, both dead. The sister when she was fifteen, the brother a year ago…"

"Tali was sixteen. Ziva told me" he said, he didn't know why he corrected her, it just felt like he owned Ziva that.

"Well so she was sixteen then" the Director said a bit annoyed "she started at Mossad when she was twelve, got her first real mission at sixteen" Tonys thoughts stopped twelve? Twelve as in that age where a child was supposed just to play and have fun, Tony took himself in feeling sorry for that poor girl. No! you can't feel sorry for her, she was hiding information's about Kate's killer! He quickly pushed the thought away and listened to the Director.

"… She now is working at the embassy, why is up to you to find out. She hasn't abandoned how long she will be here or an address, we suppose that she is living at the embassy". Jenny found Ziva David's file on a table and gave it to Tony, "you can read it if you like", and he nodded.

"Jenny, what do you want be to tell Gibbs? You know, she will probably call in work time when she is off"

"Tony, Ziva isn't stupid, she know you can't talk to her at work. And if she does anyway then improvise"

"You will use this phone to contact her and if your cover is blowing then you will call me from it"

"Yes Ma'am"

Tony took the file and left MTAC. This will be interesting. Gibbs, Paula and McGee sat with their desks when he returned, they didn't said anything, but Tony could tell they were annoyed at him.
The day was quiet and they didn't had a case. Tony took himself in several times thinking on Ziva.

( - - - - - - - - )

Ziva was bored, paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork. It was the only thing she had done since she screwed up in Rio. Her father had sat her on deskwork, or bitchwork as the agents called it. She played with the cord to the phone, tried to force it to call just to know, that she not was alone in hell. And as a, was it a fly from the sky or something? She quickly made a mental note about asking Tony about that one. Anyway, an e-mail appeared. She quickly saw whom it was from and deleted it. She couldn't get e-mails from NCIS, she knew that a they had a computer geek, Timothy McGee. He could hack insider her computer, if she just opened the file. She quickly took Tonys file and searched through for his number.

Tony played with a pencil and threw paper balls at McGee.

"Tony would you stop it?" he hissed

"Why Mcgook?"

"Cause…"

"I'm going for coffee can I get you something?", Paula and McGee nodded.

Just when Tony was gone an exited Abby run into the squareroom.

"Where is Gibbs?" Paula looked up

"He's home why?"

"Oh, that's not important" she smiled secretive

Just when Paula should answer Tony phone rang.

"Hey it is Agent DiNozzos phone, you are talking to Abby, what can I help you with?"

There was quiet in the other end

"Hallo Abby, is Tony there?" Ziva said begging to that Abby had forgotten her.
Abby glared at the phone, she knew that voice.

"Ziva David?!"

"Yes, is Tony there?"

"No, he isn't for the moment" her voice was the peak and unfriendly

"Then I will wait"

"Sure it is not because he is busy with something…"

"Oh Abby grow up!"

Abby stared at the phone; she had not just said that? After everything she had done!

"You did not just tell me to grow up!" Abby yelled angry into the phone at the same time as Tony returned. It took him a moment to realize that it was his phone Abby was yelling in, and he quickly took it out of her hand.

"Agent DiNozzo, who am I talking to?" he said calming, holding Abby down, who tried to take the phone out of his hand again.

"It's Ziva," she said, now controlling her anger.

"Hey. I'm sorry I was out for coffee. I'm sure Abby didn't meant anything with whatever she said"

"Oh I did!" Ziva heard Abby yell

"I doesn't care. Tony, I will not answer your mail, if you will contact me then call my phone"

"Ok. Umm, can I call you from my cell so um we can talk private?" Tony looked at Paula, McGee and Abby who stared angry at him. They are blaming her for Ari's actions. They don't know I'm undercover. He could see the disappointment in Abby's eyes. It hurt him deeply.

"Ken"

Tony hung up the phone and took the cell up from his pocket and pressed her number and walked out of the bullpen.

Abby, Paula and McGee looked stunned after him.

"He is not dating that girl" mumbled Abby angry, how could he? That girl had hidden information about Kate's killer! Why wasn't he mad and angry, why didn't he hate her? Abby was so mad and disappointed, that she could feel the tears rising in her eyes.

"Abby come down, she maybe isn't that bad," McGee said quietly

"Not that bad Tim! She was hiding a terrorist, she was hiding Kate's killer!" she yelled and turned around and faced Gibbs.

"Oh hi Gibbs" she said

"Who is hiding who and where is DiNozzo?" Gibbs growled

"Tony is talking with his new girlfriend," Abby said

"Abby she is not my girlfriend" Tony was walking into the bullpen again "Hey Boss"

"I doesn't care! Just gear up we have a case"

They took their gear and quickly followed him into the elevator.

Abby was still sending him dead glares. This was going to be much harder than expected…
