"Hey. Did I wake you up? Sorry. I know it's late in Israel."

"No, Tony, I am having dinner with a contact. Do you have anything new?"

"Not yet. I was just calling to see how the funeral was and how you're holding up. Maybe we could turn on a movie and watch it together. Well, part of one - I'm finally taking a lunch break. I know it's not the same… as if… if we were together… but, you know, it would be something."

"That is sweet, but no. I might get some information here. The funeral was nice. I planted an olive tree. There is not much to tell."

"Oh. Well… if you need to talk, I'm here."

"I know. Good night, Tony."

"'Night, Ziva."

Ziva clicked her phone off and stared out the window. Except you are not here, Tony. You are on the other side of the world.

She sighed and went back to her dinner company.

"So, Adam, you were saying this might have been done by someone in Mossad?"

"Maybe. There are whispers. Ziva, you need to be extra careful. We do not yet know if you were targeted as well. You should not even be staying alone tonight. Especially not here."

"I'll be fine. I can take care of myself."

"I know you can. But, you should at least allow me to sleep on the couch. It would make me feel better."

"Fine. If you wish. Do you have any other information?"

"Not yet. Do you mind if I turn on a movie?"

She sighed. "Go ahead. I do not think I will be able to sleep anyway."

She retreated to the tiny bedroom, sat on the bed, and tried to read until Adam called to her. "I know you're not sleeping. Come watch with me. You need a distraction."

She sighed again and joined him on the couch.

"I'm sorry," he said, grabbing the remote, "this was an insensitive choice. I'll change it."

"No. Don't. It is oddly comforting." She settled in to watch Dr. No with him, with Connery saying for the first time, "Shaken, not stirred." She zoned out, thinking how she should be watching this with Tony. Not all alone. Alone with Adam.

He got her wine glass from the table and refilled it. "Here. You need to relax."

How am I doing? Let me know in that little box down there!
