"I couldn't sleep, so I just did a little bit of research from home. On a secure line of course."
"Hey Jasper and Horace, come over here and learn from somebody how to actually W.O.R.K.! And get something done! Ziva is the only one who has accomplished anything in this case and she is new! Now get on with it! Good work David, go on."
"Did you just use a movie reference to 101 Dalmatians boss… ouch… I get it: work."
Ziva, very happy with herself for earning such a compliment from her boss, finally sat down behind her desk and smiled with pride. She turned on her computer and started working motivated and in a good mood. Until something hit her on the head.
"Anemdam!" she cried out in Hebrew and shot back to a standing position. She looked around and spotted Anthony DiNozzo trying to look as innocent as he could muster.
"You can't fool me Tony, I am Mossad after all! If you do this again, I will shoot you!"
"You know you are not allowed to do that?"
"Perhaps Gibbs will do it for me, he likes me." she smirked and he frowned.
A few minutes later he did it again and Ziva was just about to pull her gun, when Gibbs came in and wanted a update.
"We ordered a few people in who worked around Kinsley and Bloom and might be able to tell us if the two worked on anything special in the last couple of month before they left, but they don't arrive until 1200h."
"Bring them strait to interrogation when they arrive, you can do them. Something else?"
"We confirmed a friendship between Manigold and the other two. Petty Officer Doris Manigold gave us that information over the phone, should we question her in person Gibbs?"
"Not I you think that's all she knows McGee. Trust you instincts."
"Okay Boss. I'll call her in."
"Do it and get me a coffee on your way."
"But Boss, I am just doing a phone call!"
…but Gibbs was gone as quickly as he had arrived, so McGee had no chance to protest.
"That man is SO scary sometimes."
"Oh, you haven't met my instructor."
"Mossad?"
"Yeah. Most people don't want to come in a three mile radius to him. Oh by the way, do you two have anything you do not eat?"
"That's a rather strange question even for you."
"And why is that?"
"It just is."
"Oh, that is a good explanation."
Ziva stood up and walked over to Tony's desk and slapped him on the back on the head.
"I am cooking a dinner for you ungrateful people, you idiot!"
"I'm an omnivore, don't worry!" he quickly answered when he realized what it was about.
"Same here." McGee added quietly.
"And don't hit me, you're not Gibbs." Tony said after he recovered.
"Gibbs would have done the same, I am just saving him time. Now watch work and learn… like Gibbs told you to." Ziva said and went back to her desk.
"She is driving me crazy sometimes." McGee whispered over to Tony, trying not to let Ziva listen in.
"Yeah, I sometimes wish Kate would be back."
They thought Ziva hadn't heard a word, but felt very bad, when they saw ´her stand up and walk straight in the ladies room.
"Uhu, that wasn't very nice of us."
"Nope and she was only joking around."

Ziva was on her way back into the bullpen after she went to the bathroom, when a guy from the reception stopped her on her way.
"Officer David, hello! One of your people… witnesses are here."
"They are early and why are you running up here to tell us? You could've called."
"I like the exercise."
"Good. Exercise is important. I run 6 miles every day."
"That's impressive, should I send him up?"
"Yeah, what's his name?"`
"Henry Fords, like the the Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, just with a 'S' in the end. That's really the coolest name ever!"
Ziva looked a little bit impatient and the young receptionist hurried off, but not before asking her out again. He had already tried it several times, but she always turned him down, even though he was really good looking and now that she knew, that her colleges really did not care about her after their little talk that they didn't even try to hide, she accepted.
"Okay, but only for a drink,…"
"James."
"James…?"
"James Brown."
"James sounds very British!"
"Just because my Father was a James Bond Fan, that's all, Officer David."
"Ziva."
"Ziva, are you free on Friday night?"
"If we are through with the case by then, than no, because I have the team over."
"Saturday then? At 0700h?"
"That will work."
"See you then Miss Ziva!" he grinned at her one last time and went down the stairs.

"Henry Fords comes in in a few minutes and because I found him, I will interrogate him."
"But I am the senior field agent."
"But I found him."
"But his name is Henry Fords! I have to have him."
"What is so special about him? He is not the real Henry Ford, he just has a similar name and I am much more experienced in questioning techniques than you are. "
"It's still kind of cool and I love cars." than he remembered the event from earlier and changed his mind, suddenly he felt bad.
"Okay, a compromise, first I get a shot at him and than you do, than we see who is better."
"Deal."

McGee looked at Ziva over his desk.
"He is still in the conference room with him."
"Because he is struggling. Oh man, he is not a suspect, he is just a witness, someone who worked with them."
"He wants to…"
"Hey Tony! Got anything?"
"He says there was a project they were working on together, something top secret, but he says he is not allowed to say anything about it."
"Do you think he knows something?"
"He doesn't seem very suspicious regarding the murders, but he definitely knows more about the project. It's your turn Officer David, but you won't succeed."
"We will see Tony, we will see." And Ziva left for the conference room.
Ten minutes later she returned with a grin on her face.
"They did research on a new treatment for lung cancer. Apparently they suddenly stopped and resigned shortly after each other. Kinsley was the team leader and Bloom worked under him. Fords worked in another division. The rumors say they did a test that went wrong, but he says that's all that it is, a rumor. Manigold, whom you didn't ask about by the way, did some legal work for the company a few years back, it was three years ago, that's why we didn't have the records about that."
"I pronounce myself as the judge and I say, that Ziva wins… again." McGee said with a smirk in Tony's direction.
"Because I did all the work beforehand, I served him on a silver platter for you."
"Tell that to yourself Tony. Where is Gibbs?"
"I don't know, he wasn't here in a while."
"Perhaps he is with Abby."
"He is never longer than 5 minutes down with Abby, he is way to hyperactive to stay anywhere longer than that."
"So where the hell is he?"
