Sorry the last chapter was so rubbish. Erm maybe this one will be better. Or not.
Thanks for the suggestions, it is a pretty good idea for Gibbs to see the tattoo.
someone wanted to know why NCIS is breaking my heart..
I'll tell you.. MICHAEL BLOODY RIVKIN. Why oh why oh why can't Tony and Ziva just get together? Make all these fans happy, (yes, ok. Make ME happy)? I mean we've been getting all these hints. I really can't wait to watch the final in Israel, Tony's gonna get hurt. And Ziva's gonna get hurt. But no one's leaving the show.. and it's not the end of 'Tiva' .. what is with that?! I seriously have no idea what's going to happen. I'm gonna have to wait until Wednesday to watch it! In the UK "Judgement day 1" has only just aired! But I've been keeping up to date with season 6 NCIS on the net.
but erm.. back to the story..


Tony and Ziva walked out of the elevator, Ziva laughing at Tony in disbelief.
"No, seriously Ziva, it's an actual movie!"
"So a giant rabbit appears and tells this stupid teenager what to do?" Ziva choked out.

Tony rolled his eyes. "You don't watch enough movies."
Ziva sat at her desk still chuckling. "You watch too many!"

Neither acknowledged McGee, sitting at his desk. His eyebrows shot up in disbelief as Tony sat on Ziva's desk, well that was pretty normal, but surprisingly Ziva didn't threaten Tony anyway to get him off the desk. They both carried on their conversation, Tony gesturing very animated with his arms, Ziva clutching at her stomach and with tears in her eyes, laughing.

"Ahem" McGee said.

They both carried on.

"AHEM." McGee replied this time louder.

They carried on.

He stood up. "GUYS."

They turned their heads. Ziva still chuckling.

"Oh hey probie!" Tony said.
"Morning McGee." Ziva managed to gasp.

McGee narrowed his eyes. "You're both in a very good mood." He stated.

Tony suddenly jumped and sat at his desk.

Ziva narrowed her eyes at Tony then turned to face McGee. "Yes McGee," she said with a scowl. "Since when has that been a crime?"

Tony tilted his head and looked at Ziva, she looked beautiful even when was scowling.

She suddenly turned her head to Tony.

"Isn't that right Tony?" she said.

"Huh?" he replied. He had missed the conversation. She frowned. "I was simply stating that McGee thinks it is a crime.."

She was cut off by Gibbs, coffee in hand. "Forget what McGee thinks is a crime. Real crime. Gear up."

Ziva flashed a triumphant grin at McGee.
McGee rolled his eyes. Gibbs was already at the elevator. McGee followed, then Ziva. Tony lagged behind.

"DiNozzo!" Gibbs said.

"On your six boss!" Tony said running to the now opening elevator. Gibbs entered, then McGee.

Tony gestured with an arm to Ziva, "Ladies first." And grinned.

Ziva walked in.

Gibbs smirked.

McGee narrowed his eyes.
Something was fishy was going on..
Something very fishy indeed..


Tony, Ziva and McGee were told to take the truck.
Tony drove, and McGee sat in the middle, with Ziva on the other side of him.

Tony couldn't help but glance across at Ziva every few minutes. Ziva felt his gaze but kept looking out of the window. Suddenly their eyes met at the traffic lights. They both stared at each other above McGee's head, "Tony!" McGee said as horns began to blare. Tony broke his eyes from Ziva,

"What McGoo?!"

McGee gestured to the traffic lights. "Let's go." Tony began to drive again.

Tony and Ziva exchanged glances.

McGee had had enough. "What?!"

The two agents looked at him, "What?" they said simultaneously.

"What is going on with you two?! What do you know that I don't?"

"McGee, what are you talking about?" Ziva said.

"You two!" he gestured wildy with his hands "All the joking and laughter and the secret looks!"
McGee suddenly gasped.
"Oh god. It isn't what I think it is.. Is it?"
Tony gulped. "And just what is it that you think it is McGoo?"
"IT IS!" McGee nearly shouted! "IT IS!"

"Oh God, Oh God, Oh God.." McGee repeated over and over again.

"McGee!" Tony shouted. "Shut up!" but McGee carried on.

Ziva suddenly took control of the situation. "SHUT UP MCGEE!"

He stopped wide eyed.
Ziva carried on "You cannot tell Gibbs..", just as McGee began to speak. "I can't believe Abbs would tell you.." they both stopped mid-sentence.

"You can't believe Abbs would tell us what?" Ziva said narrowing her eyes.

"Uhhh.." McGee began, realising that he had got it all wrong. All so terribly wrong. He remembered what Ziva had said. "Tell Gibbs what?" he said surprised.

Ziva glared at him. "I asked first." She said through gritted teeth.

"What is it you don't want Gibbs to know?" McGee went on bravely.

"What is it you don't want US to know?" Ziva snapped.

Tony interrupted their argument, "Probie, I suggest you don't anger the assassin."

"Fine." McGee grumbled, as they pulled up to the crime scene.
"I'm writing another book." Tony and Ziva looked at him blankly.

"And?" Ziva enquired impatiently.

McGee looked at them nervously. "I'm thinking of writing uh, fantasy."

Ziva and Tony roared with laughter as they clambered out of the truck.

McGee rolled his eyes. He would never hear the end of this one.

Tony was slapped out of his thoughts of McGee writing about unicorns, and fairies and trolls.

Ziva smirked, earning a glare from Gibbs.

"DiNozzo, David, talk to the neighbour. We've already processed most of the crime scene." Gibbs snapped, "McGee, you're with me."

McGee suddenly spun around and walked up to them. "Would you like me to tell Gibbs?"

They both stopped laughing.

"Tell me what McGee?" Gibbs snapped irritated.

"McGoo's writing a book boss, about fairies." Tony offered hastily.

"I don't care DiNozzo! What did I ask you to do?"

Ziva and Tony shuffled over to the witness, a male, with blonde hair and blue eyes, early 30's, who looked at Ziva appreciatively.

Ziva began, ignoring to the vibes the man was giving off.
"Zachary Hayes? I'm Officer David. This is Special Agent DiNozzo, we have some questions to ask you." Zackary leant against his car and tilted his head, "You can ask me whatever you like.." he said giving Ziva a sweet smile. Tony glared at him as Ziva carried on.
"So how well did you know the Petty Officer."

"Not as well as I'd have liked to." He said with a grin.

Ziva carried on unperturbed, "how often did you see her?"

"Well she came over for a drink a few times, and when we saw eachother it was the usual hi, how are you."

"Notice anything strange lately?"

"Well, uh she had a fight with her boyfriend about a week ago, he was having an affair apparently," Zachary laughed "She woke up the whole neighbourhood at 4 in the morning with her screeching."

"Name of the boyfriend?"

"Uhh, a Jeff Waterstone I think, I'm not too sure. He runs a bar."

Ziva sighed. "Ok thank you" Ziva said walking away, "We will contact you if we need anything."

Zachary murmured "Please do" and watched as Ziva walked away and update Gibbs.


Gibbs looked curiously over at where his senior agent was. Tony and Zachary were having a heated conversation and began sizing each other up. Ziva turned to where he was looking.

Tony began walking over to where Gibbs and Ziva were standing. Ziva could see how angry he was "Thanks for your time Zeke." He said over his shoulder bitterly.

"It's Zachary!" Zachary shouted back in the same tone as Tony.

"Whatever." Tony growled.

Gibbs raised his eyebrows.

Tony ignored the questioning look on Ziva's face.

"Hey boss," Tony said plastering a goofy grin smile on his face.

"Wanna tell me what that was about?" Gibbs said, smirking slightly.

"Nope," Tony replied.

Gibbs glared at him.

"Boss, the guy's an ass." Tony said with a shrug

Gibbs just stared.

"He asked for Ziva's number."

Ziva interrupted. "Was that why you were at each other's necks?"

"It's throats, and yes it was."

"And?" Gibbs questioned.

"And I told him her boyfriend wouldn't be happy about it."

Gibbs smirked. "Head back and take this stuff back to Abs, just gotta take a little detour."

Ziva and Tony headed back to the truck.

"McGee can drive." Ziva said and climbed into the truck, Tony climbed in after admiring the view of her ass.

"So.." Ziva began with a smirk. "Boyfriend huh?" Tony grinned and moved closer to her. She could feel his breath on her face. "Mmmhmm." He murmured.

They both jumped apart as McGee climbed into the car grumbling "That's why I hate telling you guys anything, all you do is tease me."

Tony rolled his eyes. "Probie?"
McGee turned to him.

"Shut up."


When they got back to NCIS Tony made his way to Abby's lab which was blaring with music.

"YAY! Tony!" she screamed happily and hugged him, then stopped.

"You seem different." She said narrowing her eyes.

Tony opened his mouth to speak.

"Nope, don't tell me!" Abby interrupted.

She began circling him, stomping in her platforms. "Now.. what is it.." She sniffed him.
"You smell different..New shampoo?"
Tony opened his mouth to speak again just as Abby saw the boxes in his hands.

"Evidence! YAY!"

She waved a dismissive hand at Tony and was engrossed in the evidence box, "Go on off you go. Gibbs'll be looking for you!"

Tony made his way to the elevator. Muttering under his breath. "You try to tell someone something.." He had just got into the elevator when he heard Abby shriek.

He looked up just in time to see Abby running "You smell of Ziva! .." she began, and the elevator doors shut. Tony smirked.


A few hours later, after the case was wrapped up, Gibbs ordered his agents home.

Gibbs smirked as Tony almost ran to the elevator, dragging Ziva by her bag. Tony tapped his foot impatiently, waiting for the elevator doors to open. Tony's head snapped up as he heard the familiar *ding* of the elevator..

And there stood Abby, face like thunder. Tony spun around to Ziva. "uh, you go on down, I think I've forgotten something" and tried to walk away.

Abby pulled him, and he pulled Ziva, the elevator doors shut. Neither of them hearing, McGee's "hold the elevator please".

There was an awkward silence in the elevator.

"Hi Abby." Ziva said, taking in her angry face and noticing how Tony seemed to be shrinking away from her and the way he glanced at her nervously.

"Hello Ziva." Abby said coldly. Ziva's eyebrows shot up in suprise.

Abby suddenly flicked the elevator to a stop.

"You guys!" she said, pushing her "Operation don't be nice to Tony & Ziva" to the back of her mind.

"I can't believe you wouldn't tell me!" she whined.

Ziva glared at Tony, who looked down at his feet like a school boy being scolded by his head teacher.

Ziva sighed. "Abby, we didn't want Gibbs to find out. Rule 12 remember?"

Abby calmed down. "I'm sorry," then got excited all over again "it's just that I'm so happy for you guys! FINALLY! GROUP HUG!"

And with that she enveloped them into a hug.

She flicked the switch back on. "Ziva, did you bring your car today?" Ziva shook her head as Abby continued "you're staying at mine tonight, we need to catch up! We'll go to yours and pick up some clothes"

Ziva smirked at Tony's pouting face. "Abby.." he whined.

The elevator stopped in the parking lot.

Tony cleared his throat. "Abs, uh, do you mind if I speak to Ziva for a moment? ..In private."

Abby smirked. "Not at all."

Abby walked over to her car and sat inside tactfully busying herself with her CD's

Tony's green eyes stared into Ziva's brown eyes.

"Behave yourself." He said with a smirk. "And give me a kiss."

Ziva pecked his cheek and walked away with a sly grin on her face. "Hey," he said with a lopsided grin, grabbing her arm and pulling her to him. His face became serious "I love you." Ziva felt like her heart was going to burst out of her chest. She kissed him slowly and with passion. Tony's arms wrapped around her waist. Tony pulled back and looked into Ziva's flushed face. "That's better." He said with a grin, and watched her as she walked to Abby's car, looking over her shoulder at him with a smirk. He made his way to his own car.

Neither noticed a stunned McGee who had taken the stairs and was sitting in his car in shocked at what he had justseen.
