Author's note - sorry this is so late! I got my phoe back yesterday and it's all fully updated and running! I will hopefully be able to write more now. Reviews are welcome as usual. Enjoy!

"Tobias? What the hell do you think you are doing here?" demanded Gibbs.

"And why are you ordering my girlfriend around?" added Tony.

"Let me explain."

Tobias Fornell led the three NCIS agents into the conference room at the recruitment office. The team had lots of questions but let him finish talking. "So you're telling me that the woman out there is an FBI agent?" asked a confused Tony.

"Yes. We placed her here to keep an eye on the Navy personnel and to see if anyone was contacting radical groups."

"Why isn't she in the system?" asked Gibbs.

"We knew that the Navy would do a background check and we didn't want to risk any senior officers who could be contacting one of the groups knowing. A lot of the FBI don't even know where she is."

"Yet you trust us with this 'ever so important' secret?" scoffed Ziva.

"The information is on a need to know basis. I thought that it was necessary for you to know, given your investigation."

"And you decided to tell us now? What the hell Tobias? We could've shot the woman!" cut in Gibbs.

"I didn't know you were going to barge in!"

"If you didn't know we going to come why were you waiting to save her?"

"We always have a van outside for security reasons."

Gibbs snorted and rolled his eyes "Of course you do."

"Look, I know the FBI aren't NCIS's favourite people but you are going to have to trust us."

"Does Jenny know?"

"Ahhh...No. I think she should."

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea."

"Well, you could go in first and sweeten her up. It must help, having your girlfriend as your boss."

"News travels fast eh?"

"When it's about a man whose been married multiple times."

"I'll talk to her first as long as you buy me coffee."

"Deal."

Gibbs made his way up the familiar steps up to the Director's office and MTAC. He braced himself for what was going to come next. Like usual, he barged straight into her office without knocking. "Jethro." said Jenny, not having to look up in order to see who had entered. "Not going to knock?"

"Never done before, why should I start?"

She laughed and stood in front of him. "Is this a visit for work or personal benefits?"

"Both." he kissed her.

"Hmm, what's the work reason? I mean, we are at work."

"We have a visitor."

"Who?" she asked. At that moment Fornell opened the door.

"Hello Director."

"Agent Fornell. What a pleasant surprise. What can NCIS help you with?"

"I need to inform you about one of your people of interest in the Roberts case."

"Who?"

"Mrs Mary Reynolds. She was friends with Bethany Roberts, your vic."

"What do I need to know? I don't like it when other agencies fail to inform NCIS."

"She works for the FBI."

"What? She wasn't listed as an agent."

"I know. She was working in the Navy recruitment office looking for any officers who might have had contact with any radical groups. We couldn't risk anyone knowing."

"Well, I know now. Thank you Agent Fornell."

Meanwhile in the bullpen Ziva was sat at her desk, quietly. Tony sat on the table in front of her and stroked her hair. McGee took this as a sign to leave and joined Abby in the lab. "What's up sweetcheeks?" he asked.

Ziva sighed. A piece of hair fell across her face and Tony gently pushed it behind her ear. "It's nothing."

"Yes it is. Don't lie to me Zi."

"It's fine. Nothing's wrong."

"Is it Tali?" he asked.

"Yeah." she whispered.

"I have a surprise for you, but you will have to wait 'til after work because it's at home." he said before realising how wrong it sounded.

Ziva let out a small laugh. "Oh Tony. I hope it isn't as scary as you make it sound." she said suspiciously.

"It isn't!" he smiled

"Hmm, ok."

"Ziva baby! I have a present for you at home! It isn't sexual either!"

"It better not be Di'Nozzo!" came Gibbs's voice from behind him.

"Sorry Boss!" said Tony quickly as he rushed back to his desk. Gibbs was followed in by a chuckling Fornell.

"So Jethro," said Fornell, "I take it you still need to talk to Ms Reynolds?"

"You thought correctly. Bring her in."

Mary Reynolds sat at the interrogation table and twiddled her thumbs. Gibbs was late, as usual and Tony couldn't tell if his boss was doing his famous interrogation technique or had just stopped for coffee. He was thrown thoughts by Gibbs slamming the door as he joined Ms Reynolds. Placing down his cup, he sat down opposite her. She looked across at him and waited for him to speak. "Ms Reynolds, you knew Bethany Roberts?"

"Yes we were friends."

"How did you know about her dagger?"

"She left it to me. It was a on her will."

"Do you know where it is now?"

"It was stolen about two weeks ago."

"You didn't report it?"

"How would I explain that I had a dagger in my apartment?"

"Maybe the same way you are telling us now! You failed to report a crime and I'm suspicious as to why."

"If you think I was involved then you're wrong!"

"I don't know if I can believe you or not! You withheld valuable information in a murder investigation!"

"I meant no harm! I just thought it might look strange if I had a dagger in my apartment! I realised now that it wasn't the right thing to do!"

"Damn right it wasn't! Did you see the culprit?"

"I tried to tackled him but he was too strong."

"Okay. Did you know him personally?"

"I recognised him but I don't know why? I might 've met him at a party."

"Work with an artist. I want a face, and think of that name!" With that he left the room.

A few hours later Gibbs stormed into the bullpen. "Abby's got a name!" He said, pulling up a picture onto the screen along with an extensive rap sheet.

"Charles Cole." read Tony "British, arrested multiple times for robbery. Looks like he's paid for the attacks."

"Yeah. Get his ass down here now!"

"Do know this woman?" asked Gibbs.

"I meant to?"

"You robbed her house a few weeks back. You like robbing strangers' houses?"

"Look, I get paid as long as I don't ask questions. I just get told who and what to rob then I drop out off at the collection point where I find my money." he said.

"Where is this collection point?"

"Under one of the benches at the park. I can show you if you want."

Gibbs turned to the glass. "Tony, Ziva, he's gonna show you where the collection point is."

It would have been a great day for a walk in the park and if Charles Cole hadn't been there then it also would've been romantic for Tony and Ziva. They had to refrain from holding hands as they walked through the row of trees, the leaves floating down around them. They looked at each other and smiled. Tony looked into her eyes and enjoyed seeing the sparkle that he knew he had put there. Suddenly Charles stopped. "There's someone at the collection point." The two agents stopped and looked over to where Charles was staring. He was right. Two men were putting an envelope under the bench.

"Stop! Federal agents!" Tony and Ziva pulled out their guns and shouted at the men. The men looked up and their eyes widened in horror before they dropped the envelope and raised their arms. The two agents moved slowly towards the men and arrested them, Ziva also picking up the envelope. Charles watched as they walked back to the car and drove to the Navy yard.

...sorry this is so short! I was frantically writing this because I have to go to my caravan soon and thought I should update.
