Tony could tell how upset Ziva was as they made their way down the street. After several blocks he stopped, tugging on her arm.
"Hey, you need to calm down."
She shook her head angrily. "Something is wrong."
Tony squinted. "What do you mean?"
"You don't find that suspicious? First, someone follows us through the airport. Now NCIS tracks us down?" She chewed her lip and he could tell she was trying to sort her thoughts out.
"There was a murder in our hotel, you heard them."
She huffed. "It's too coincidental." He opened his mouth and she waved him off. "I know you do not believe in them, but something is going on here."
He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Ok, what do you wanna do?"
Ziva shook her head. "I do not know." They began walking again, neither of them speaking.
-.-.-
Agent Gibbs watched as the two Mossad officers walked away. His agents were silent. They knew not to ask questions when their leader was processing things.
Finally he turned to them. "McGee, get a tap on their phones."
McGee's eyes widened. "Uh boss, I…"
"What?"
"I don't think that's possible."
"Why the hell not?" McGee gulped as Kate bit her lip to keep from laughing.
"Well, all wire taps have to go through Director Vance, and we don't have enough evidence to support us tapping the phones of two Mossad officers."
"Well then you better find a way to do it." Gibbs snarled and began to walk off.
"Boss what about Director Vance?"
"Rule 18!"
McGee's eyebrows bunched together as he turned to look at Agent Todd. "Rule 18?"
"It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission McGee." She answered, then began to follow Gibbs.
McGee sighed. "I really need to start writing all of these down."
-.-.-
Raised voices greeted Gibbs as he walked through the door to Abby's lab.
"Are you questioning my expertise McGee?" Abby yelled.
"Abby I'm not, I swear. I just,"
"Just what? Think that I made a mistake? That one of my babies made a mistake?"
McGee let out a sigh. "Abby."
"Apparently you've taken some form of crazy pill today, because you're off your rocker Tim."
Gibbs stopped and surveyed the scene before him. Kate sat on one of the counters watching Abby and McGee fight. While Kate noticed their boss, the other two hadn't stopped arguing. After a few more seconds, Gibbs raised his own voice.
"Hey!" Silence filled the room as the two turned to look at him. "What the hell is going on?"
Abby marched over to Gibbs, grabbing the Calf Pow he had been holding out of his hand. "Agent McGee seems to think there's been an error in the forensics that came from the hotel room." Abby replied then began to slurp down her Calf Pow.
"Boss, I didn't say it's an error, I just think we need to double check it."
"You'll love this, Gibbs." Kate said from her corner.
"What is it?" Gibbs asked, looking around at all of them.
Abby made her way to the computer. "Three sets of fingerprints were found in the hotel room. Admiral Williams, a maid and…"
"Wait for it." Kate remarked.
Abby turned the computer towards Gibbs. "Mossad Officer Ziva DiNozzo."
Gibbs looked at McGee. "So what's the problem?"
"McGee doesn't believe they were able to get into the room without being seen." Kate said, climbing off of the counter.
"Boss it's impossible, I've checked the security tapes. They checked in last night and didn't leave their room till this morning. It doesn't add up."
"Forensics don't lie McGee!" Abby yelled and turned her music up.
Gibbs grimaced. "You two, with me." The agents followed him out into the hall. "Were you at least able to get a tap on their phone?"
"Boss, I told you, I can't,"
"Can't or won't?" Gibbs snapped.
The junior agent sighed. "I can't get a tap on their phones, but I was able to hack into their GPS trackers."
"It's better than nothing, Gibbs." Kate noted, giving McGee an apologetic look.
"Fine. Kate, you're with me. We're gonna go pick them up. McGee, start compiling a profile on them. I want everything from the day they were born till now."
"On it boss."
