Explanation to the DiNozzo/ David disaster
Tony drove in rage through the streets of Washington. He couldn't go to his apartment, he didn't want to go, and he was hoping that the drive would help him cool off. The fight he had with Ziva was playing inside of his head over and over again.
"Ziva and Ari! Why? How could she lie to me, how could she lie to Gibbs? How could she do something like that?" he asked himself over and over again.
He felt anger, but above everything he felt pain inside, because he though of Ziva as being a correct woman, which would never do something like this, that would never be with such a monster. He was disappointed, he was sad and more then everything he felt his heat bleeding because he had realized how much he loves her. But love would never excuse her, there is no excuse for what she had done, and he would never trust her again.
Somehow his "footsteps" brought him to NCIS. He parked his car and went up to the office, hoping that there was nobody there. He would lie that he needs to check up on some evidence if somebody would ask him. The elevator doors opened and he saw that McGee was sleeping on his key bored. He passed him by and asked him quietly:
"Probie where is Gibbs?"
But there was no answer, just McGee's light snoring. Tony asked again a little louder and her saw that McGee shifted his body.
"Probie, is Gibbs in interrogation?"
"Aham." He moaned and then went back to snoring.
Tony smiled and made his way down to interrogation. Seeing Gibbs at work always calmed him down.
He entered the observation room and saw how the poor man was spilling his soul to Gibbs, and he couldn't suppress a smile. Yes Gibbs had this effect on people.
A few minutes later, the door of the observation room, swung open and Gibbs and his coffee walked in. He was surprised to see Tony, but then saw the look on his face, and immediately realized that something was not right.
"DiNozzo what the hell are you doing here? Is Ziva alright?" he asked.
"I have no idea how Ziva is and I don't care."
Gibbs narrowed his eyes and then looked at the guy handling the recording machines in the observation room.
"Derek, get out. Now!" he barked.
After the man had stepped out of the room, Gibbs walked closer to Tony and looked him in the eyes, threatening.
"What did you say Tony?"
"I said I don't know how she is and I don't care." He replied without blinking.
"What did you do DiNozzo? What happened?" he asked harshly.
"Why do you assume it's my fault boss?"
"You obviously had a fight and things got out of hand. Tell me what happened!"
"There is nothing to say boss. I found out that Ziva has been lying to me, to you, to the whole team."
"Tony, I'll be damned if I don't slap you silly, if you don't speak up and tell me what the hell happened." He hushed.
"She and Ari." He said with discussed.
"What about Ziva and Ari?" Gibbs asked, having a slight idea what might have occurred.
"I mean boss, she was protecting him, because he was her lover, or friend with benefits." He exhaled angry again.
"Oh no! Tony what did you say to her?" Gibbs asked tiered.
"I told her that I can't even look at her, that she sickens me, because she had slept with the man that killed Kate, she had slept and had protected a monster. I told her how much she discussed me, and I will never trust her again, and that she disappointed me."
"You IDIOT!" Gibbs yelled…"You have no idea what you did!"
"What?" he asked confused and a little insecure.
"Yes DiNozzo, you let your jealousy blind you; you let your feelings come in the way of your reasoning." The marine yelled on top of his lungs.
"I don't understand boss."
"Do you know who Ari really was? Do you?" he trailed away, grabbing Tony by the jacket.
"Yeah, he was her lo…"
"Wrong DiNozzo! Ari was her half-brother."
Tony let the information cover him. He then realized the gravity of the situation, and what he had done, but anger clouded his judgment once more.
"Why didn't she tell us? Why boss? I thought she changed in the three years she has been with NCIS, but no, not even after such a long time has she come clean."
"Tony! It's not like that." Gibbs spoke softly, and the fatigue was clearly noticeable.
"That night, in my basement when Ari wanted to kill me, it was not I who killed Ari, it had been Ziva, who pulled the trigger and executed him."
Tony was at lost of words, he couldn't believe it, he couldn't comprehend, how could he have been so wrong and how much damage he had done.
"Oh shit!" he said grabbing his head and then leaned his head against the cool glass of the observation room.
"She had killed her half-brother, the only person she had loved in this life, beside Tali, just to save my life. I decided to take the blame for her, because if her father had found out that she had killed Ari, Ziva would have been long dead."
"Yeah but boss, why didn't she tell us? I mean it couldn't harm the team if she would come clean, on the contrary, she would had been seen as a hero."
"Tony, she doesn't want to be seen as a hero, she doesn't want you and the others to know that Ari was related to her, because she understands the hate you all have against Ari and frankly she doesn't want to be seen as the sister of the monster. Plus there is always the threat of leakage of information and her father finding out the truth. In Mossad interrogation, I would be the only one capable to survive, because I have been interrogated before by different organizations and terrorist cells, I know how not to crack. You, McGee, Abby on the other hand is a different story, that's why we thought it would be safer for you to know that I had killed Ari and not Ziva.
"Boss, how could I have been so stupid?" he asked regretful.
"I don't know DiNozzo, but I think you did a lot of damage this time, and I don't know if she would forgive you too soon."
"I need to apologize." He stated, while walking towards the door.
"Leave her alone tonight DiNozzo. She needs to cool off. You will have the chance of apologizing tomorrow morning."
"Ok boss. Could you please do me a favor? Could you please call Ziva and see if she's alright. I'm sure she wont answer my calls." He softly spoke.
"Sure thing Tony. Go home and get some sleep and fix what you have done tomorrow. Good night." He said with a soft fatherly tone.
Tony left interrogation and Gibbs took out his cell phone.
At the fifth ring she finally answered.
"David"
He could clearly hear that she had been crying, and it broke his heart. He had seen Ziva cry only once, and he knew that she was suffering a lot.
"Are you alright Ziva?" he asked concerned.
"Yes Gibbs I am fine." She spoke, while sniffling.
"Ziva get some sleep and I'll see you at NCIS in the morning."
After a long pause she said "Yes Gibbs I will be there at 0800 hours."
He could notice that she was fighting the tears; he closed her eyes and softly spoke:
"Ziva don't cry I know he messed up, but he really cares."
"If you say so." She responded and it was clearer then ever that she was fighting the new set of tears.
"Sleep Ziva, and all will be well. Good night."
"Good night Gibbs and thank you." she softly spoke, and then the line went dead.
He closed his phone and exhaled loudly. Now he was sure that Ziva and Tony loved each other, but Ziva was too stubborn to give in to her feelings and DiNozzo was confused about his feelings, but there was no doubt in this world that these two were in love and that they needed each other. Ziva was Tony's oxygen and Tony was Ziva's reason for happiness. They were perfect for each other and none of them could be happy as long as they would not be together.
