Chapter 3- Family of Lies

-North Africa-

Torturer's Flashback:

"You do not harm her below the waist, you understand? I need her to still be able to run after you break her."

"And if she will not break?"

"Oh she will."

Ziva's flashback:

"I do not want to lie to him Michael."

"It is a small lie."

Ziva heard the door open and large boots stomped the ground.

-Special Agent Jessica Mathews' Mansion-

"The body is in here- both of them." Commander Justin Matthew's said.

"Both?" Gibbs asked with a concerned look.

"Yes, both of them. My son and his best friend killed each other over a girl."

Special Agent Matthews' turned to her father and gave him a confused look.

"I don't want you in there Jessica." Her father instructed her.

"It's my job Daddy."

"No, I don't want you working this crime scene." Gibbs chimed in and the Commander gave him a thank you nod.

"Well I guess I will go pack my bag for the hotel." Jessica said turning to go down the stairs.

"DiNozzo, come here." Gibbs yelled.

"Yes boss?"

"Special Agent Matthews is going home with you tonight, and that is an order."

Tony grew angry but contained himself quickly because he knew Gibbs had a reason. "Boss?"

Gibbs pulled Tony in close and whispered, "Look DiNozzo something isn't right here. I get the feeling this family has secrets. Take Agent Matthews' home and get to know her family, especially the dad and brother and the relationship between them. I want to know all about it in the morning."

"Yes Boss."

"Commander if you don't mind, we would like to keep our tradition of breaking in our Probie by making them stand an 18 hour shift. I understand the situation but-" Gibbs said turning to the commander.

"No, no. It is fine. Jessica needs to be apart of the team."

"Thanks."

Just then Jessica walked back up the stairs. "What about me?" She asked.

"DiNozzo take Agent Matthews." Gibbs instructed.

"Yes boss." Tony grabbed Jessica ad her bag and turned to go down the stairs. He stopped and told the commander, "So sorry for your loss." Then quickly grabbed the unwilling Jessica's arm and dragged her to the car.

"What the hell are you doing DiNozzo?" Jessica asked as they reached the car.

"You are coming home with me."

"What? No I am not. What you think just because I am in heels, a tight skirt, and a low cut top that I am going to-"

"Agent Matthews get in the car." Tony yelled, cutting her off.

"No!" She yelled back.

"Agent Matthews as your senior field Agent I am giving you a direct order, now get in the damn car!"

"Jessica does what he says." Her father's voice came from the elaborate front porch. Jessica gave Tony a dirty look and then got in. Tony followed suit and started the car. Just before driving away, Tony turned to Jessica and very sternly said, "Agent Matthews what you just suggested was not only inappropriate, but completely out of line. One thing I am certain of is that what you just suggested will never happen between us. I'm in love with someone, and I will never do anything to jeopardize that."

Jessica just looked away and crossed her arms.

'I love you Ziva and I will never do anything to hurt you.' Tony thought.

Tony's Flashback:

"If it's what I had to do."

"You killed him." She said.
