Someone's sorrow
Next day, Tony was slowly starting his morning routine to go to work: Shower, bacon, coffee and making himself look good for work. But today, the shower wasn't enough warm, the bacon didn't tasted like always did and it didn't matter that his hair was a bit messy and the tie didn't match the suit. I didn't matter. So he went to work in his car, not even bothering in turning on the radio, he just concentrated in driving to the Navy Yard and arriving to his desk.
Ziva was there early, not a surprise, what surprised him was that McGee, Gibbs and even Ducky and Abby were in the bullpen. He said good morning and went to sit on his chair. The others were looking at him like he had grown a second head.
- What? – Tony said
- Nothing it's just that we thought you would stay at home today Tony – Ziva replayed.
- I work here right? So here I am. Any more cases Boss? – Tony asked Gibbs
- No DiNozzo, just paperwork – Gibbs replied.
They spent the morning with paperwork, Tony had actually work all the morning with only two pauses to have coffee, and neither of them with company. He would stand up, go for coffee, come back and start again working without a word. The rest of the team tried to make some conversation, without any luck. At six, they were able to go home if they had done their paperwork, which Tony had finished at five. At six o'clock, he was already on his way to the elevator.
- DiNozzo, wait a moment – Gibbs said approaching him.
- Yeah Boss? I already finished my paperwork, you need me for anything? – he asked
- No, just a few words in my office – Gibbs said, entering the elevator and stopping it a few seconds later.
- I know it's hard, I've been there, but don't disconnect yourself from the world, don't work. If you need, you can take tomorrow off – watching him starting to replied he cut him – ok, you can come if you want, but if you want I will call you only if we have a new case ok? And remember, you're not alone Tony.
With that, he started the elevator again.

Next day, Tony did as he was said. He was at home, catching some sleep, or at least trying, because everytime he closed his eyes, all he saw was her, only her. Giving up on sleep, we went to watch a movie. After 3 movies, he finally fall asleep.
At the office, they were worried about Tony, wondering if he finally took the day off and how they could help him. Ziva didn't say anything. She knew he was with Jeanne, but didn't know that he loved her so much, which made her heart ache. But now, he was the important one, he was the one who had lost a lover, she hadn't lost anything because they weren't more than friends. Hearing the others, she decided to help them trying to bring the old Tony back, but she knew it would take time, it wasn't an easy recovering.
The day went by without any new case, what was starting to take Ziva's nerves, she didn't like been stuck in the office for too long. Abby told them she was heading to Tony's, to bring him dinner and to spend some time with him, trying to cheer him up.
She knocked his door, and he opened his door only in sweat pants, clearly expecting no visits today.
- Hey Abby, what's up? – Tony asked her.
- Nothing, it just that I remind that movie you were talking about last week, the one about the murder who kidnapped his victim and make them save his own life, Saw was? – she asked
- Yes, it's Saw why?
- Do you want to watch it? I bring dinner – she said showing him the bag where the dinner was, with a smile.
- Abs, I don't think it is a good idea, maybe other day ok? – he said already closing the door, leaving an astonished Abby in front of his door, with the bag in her hand, wondering what they could do to help him, and whatever it was, they have to do it fast.
