"Tony I just remembered something."

"What is it Zi?"

"We are in Maine."

"Yea?" He questioned, confused to where she was going with this.

"And they are in DC. It was a 10 hour drive Tony! They will not be here for 8 hours!"

"Wait why did you take away 2 hours."

"Have you seen Gibbs drive?"

"True. Well we can't leave here, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop raining anytime soon. So lets go find a tree to sit under or something. At least we won't get as wet." Once Tony said this, Ziva shook her head yes, and followed him.

Once they found a big enough tree, they sat down. Suddenly Ziva's teeth started chattering. "Ziva are you cold?"

"No Tony, my teeth just do this when I'm sitting down. Yes I am cold."

"Jeez Zi. Ok well here take this." Tony said as he started taking of his shirt.

"No Tony it is ok. You will freeze too if you are shirtless."

"Fine, then come here." And with that he put his shirt back on, and moved closer to her. His arms then wrapped around her body, holding her tight against him. "By the way Ziva. How are you cold? It is like 70 here."

"Yes but it is also raining, it is windy, and I just hopped into the lake."

"Ok true." He agreed, and continued to hold her, while he moved his hands up and down her arms.

"Tony, I don't mind if you don't want to hold me, it is ok. I will just huddle up in my shirt somehow." When she said this, she moved away from him, but he pulled her right back.

"No Zi. It's fine. I want to."

Once about 3 hours passed, Gibbs and the team were there. "How did you get here so fast?" Tony asked in shock.

"We didn't we took a private plane. It was quicker." Gibbs said with a shrug.

"Oh well, hello, Special Agent Gibbs is it?" Tony asked.

"Yes. I'm guessing you are the two who reported the murder."

"Yes." Ziva said sternly.

"Well good job you two. You did the right thing by calling NCIS, we can take it from here." Gibbs said with a slight smirk.

"Sure thing. Zi we need to get back it's already 5:30." Tony said grabbing her and taking off.

"Hold on Tony." She said with a partial laugh. "I think you forgot I'm in sandals."

"Oh yea!" Once he said this he picked her up in his arms and started carrying her. "Actually Ziva." He said putting her down and bending over. "Here get on my back."

"You are going to give me a penny back ride Tony?"

"Close. I am going to give you a piggy back ride. Now get on." When he said this she sighed first and then jumped on. "Having fun?" He smirked.

"Yes actually." She said basically hugging his head. "There is about one more mile until we get there, you are going to die if you carry me the whole way."

"Well at least I'll die happy." He said looking up at her.

When he looked up, they both made eye contact and stared at each other for a second. Because of this intense staring, Tony didn't see the tree stump ahead of him. When he tripped, he fell forward which sent Ziva toppling to the ground. "Zi! I'm so sorry I didn't see that stump."

"Tony it is ok." She reassured him.

"Ziva you're bleeding." He said touching her forehead. "Does it hurt?"

"No not that much."

"Here, some of your hair fell into the cut." Once he said this, he took the piece of hair and tucked it under her ear.

"Thank you Tony." She said silently gazing into his eyes. Before she did something irational, she got up and continued walking.

"Hey, hey wait up! Why'd you leave Zi?"

"We are going to be late if we don't stop messing around. We need to concentrate on the mission, and less on having fun."

"Gee Ziva, what got into you?"

"What Tony!?" She snapped at him.

"What just happened? Did I miss something?" Now he was confused.

"I can't wait to be back in DC."

"Ok I have been nothing but nice this entire trip, and you're still saying how you can't wait to leave!? I'm done Ziva. Go have Mcgee be your partner, maybe you'll respect him more." Once Tony said this he walked the opposite way of Ziva.

"Wait Tony."

"No Ziva. I'm done playing games."

"Tony please don't leave me."

"Why should I stay Ziva, give me one good reason."

"I." She thought about saying the L word, but she quickly changed it to, "We need to do this mission."

"Once this is done. I'm done. I'm either leaving NCIS, or I'm transferring to another team. I'll meet you at the cabin." After he said this, he was gone.

"Tony."
