Ch.4

"Sherman's wife is interrogation." Tony says walking into the bullpen with Ziva. They both take off there guns and put them in their drawers. Gibbs nods and motions to Isabelle who is standing next to her. She smiles to them and follows Gibbs. "I think we found the new favourite, except Abby of course." Tony states and Ziva smirks.

"McGee, McGee!" Abby yells from her computer. He runs from the other room.

"What Abs I got to do what Gibbs told me to do with the bullet." Abby looks at him confused. "Yea I also have to figure out what he wanted me to do."

"Look" She says pointing to the screen. A video was playing of Sherman buying fishing bait at the shop outside the woods. "The time stamp was 9:20. Two hours before he died."

"And?"

"Well look again." She says fast forwarding the tape. The clerk looks up at the camera and the feed goes died. "He clicked a key on the keyboard when he turned around.

"Call Gibbs." McGee says

"Thanks Abs" Gibbs says hanging up the phone. "Tony the bait shop outside the woods where we found Sherman, take Ziva" He yells across the bullpen.

They both stand and grab their guns. They run to the elevator without a word. The door closes and Isabelle looks at Tony. "What?" He asks

"Nothing" She laughs as the elevator stops and the doors open with a BING. They get in the car, in silence.

Isabelle takes an exaggerated breath as Tony starts the car. He looks at her with an eyebrow raised. "So, what's going on with you and Ziva?"

"Nothing" Tony snapped pulling out onto the street.

"Right" She doubted. The next twenty minutes were silent between the two. "So where were you last night before you showed up at my apartment, together?"

"We were at the bar. Where we go if a case is annoying." Tony explains

"This case isn't annoying."

"Not the Sherman case."

"Boss, Stuart is in interrogation." Tony says walking in to the directors office. Gibbs and Ziva had been talking to him.

"We done?" Gibbs asks him. He nods and they walk out.

"He didn't run but was quiet the whole way here." Tony states as they walk down to the bullpen.

"That's great. But we no longer have the case. Another team has it. Go work on paper work." Gibbs instructs heading to the elevator.

Tony turns to Ziva. "Why?" Ziva just shakes her head. She walks to her desk and Tony follows. "I think it's unfair."

"You would think that Tony."

The elevator DINGS and a tall man with a Marine cut and a uniform steps out.

"Matt!" Isabelle screams and runs over to him. He picks her up in a big hug.

"Want to meet your brother in law?" Tony laughs

Ziva stands and smirks at Tony. She walks around him. "Hello" She says to Matt.

"You must be Ziva." He says shaking her hand. Isabelle is beaming.

"And I'm Tony" He introduces himself walking up behind Ziva.

"And I'm Leon Vance." The director walks up behind all of them. "All of you in my office." They all look at each other and begin to climb the stairs. "You are all going to stay in a safe house until this is all over."

They all look at each other again, confused now more than ever.
