Chapter 10: You Just Can't Stay Away

"Ziva?" a soft called.

All heads turned to see Damon standing timidly behind Ziva's desk, not quite sure of what he had just interrupted.

Tony straightened up in his chair when he saw Damon with Ziva's jacket. Once again he was back in their lives, in Ziva life.

"You just can't stay away can you?" Gibbs said with a hint of iciness in his tone.

"Gibbs!" Vance called from the top of the stairs.

Gibbs looked up to see Vance nod at him, which meant that he wanted to see him in his office.

Gibbs started for Vance's office and stopped by Tony's desk. Tony took one look at Gibbs and slapped himself and smiled weakly at him. Shaking his head, Gibbs continued towards Vance's office.

Ziva rubbed her eyes in frustration.

"Is everything ok?" Damon asked innocently.

"What are you doing here Damon?" She asked.

McGee and Tony had both raised themselves from their seats to get a better of view of their team member.

"You uh… left your jacket at my place last night. I tried to call you when I was downstairs, but you didn't pick up so I just brought it up to you."

"Thank you, but that was not necessary, I would have picked it up myself later."

"Aww c'mon Ziva, the terminator has feelings." Tony sarcastically commented.

Damon and Ziva both turned their eyes towards Tony.

"I am surprised at you Tony." Ziva said softly.

Tony raised his eyebrow.

"Why?" He asked smiling

"If I were in your position, I would not comment on anyone-"

Tony opened his mouth to interrupt her.

"REGARDLESS of whether it is a joke or not. I would not want any more attention being drawn to me."

Ziva stood, holding her hands across her lap, looking at Tony, her stare never faltering. Tony fiddled with his fingers then turned his attention to his computer. Damon handed Ziva her jacket.

"I will call you later" She told him.

Damon turned to leave.

"Damon, Ziver!" Gibbs called.

Damon and Ziva exchanged confused glances then walked side by side towards Vance's office.

McGee shook his head.

"What?"

"I thought you were over it."

"Over what?" Tony asked.

"The last time he was here, you offered him a ride and now… now you're back to holding a grudge."

Tony eyed McGee.

"Don't try to understand me McGeek, DiNozzo minds are very complex-"

"Or… you're just getting jealous because you know that he was with Ziva last night…" McGee said as he lifted his nose in the air and smiled.

Tony laughed.

"Why would I be jealous?"

"It's the only explanation."

Tony clicked his tongue and inhaled deeply and turned his gaze towards Ziva's empty desk.

"You're wrong on so many levels McGee" He said in a serious tone.

"I can be civil, that shouldn't be hard, right?" Tony asked himself.

McGee smiled at him. Before he could say anything else to Tony, they heard the door open. Gibbs, Ziva, with her arms across her chest, and Damon calmly made their way back to the bullpen.

"DiNozzo, your ear wig." Gibbs said calmly

DiNozzo eyes went from each, Damon, Ziva, who kept her eyes on the ground, and Gibbs as he slowly took the ear piece out and handed it to him, who then, handed it to Damon.

"Boss?" McGee asked, hoping for an explanation of what was going on.

"DiNozzo, you're with McGee. Ziva, Damon go check in." Gibbs ordered.

Tony fell out of his chair.

"You're sending him, it's a couples' retreat not a….a…it's a couples' retreat!" Tony stammered.

Gibbs paced towards Tony's desk.

"And" Gibbs calmly replied.

"Annnddd…. I'm fine with that"

Gibbs smiled then turned his back to Tony.

"Let's Go." He ordered.

McGee walked around and elbowed Tony in his ribs and received an icy stare from Tony.

Damon and Ziva finally reached the hotel. Damon opened his door and walked over to Ziva's side and opened the door and held his hand out.

Tony: This guy thinks he's so smooth. Holding his hand out and opening the door for her, what is he trying to prove? I could do that, I just chose to live in the 21st century… showoff!

Ziva smiled and took his hand. He went around to the trunk and grabbed their luggage. They strolled into the lobby and caught the eye of Amanda Winn, the manager.

Ziva: Hmmm… she's average, not pretty, but not bad to look at. Tall, slender, and of course, blonde.

Amanda greeted them.

"Welcome back. I'm glad to see your party has returned. I'm Amanda, the manager and coordinator." She said as she held her hand out to shake Damon's.

"Here is a schedule of all the events. As you can see there are many repeated throughout the day; that is because of the high volume of guest; so if you would like to attend any, just call down to the front desk and ask for me to register for them." She said cheerfully.

"Thank you" Ziva and Damon said together.

McGee watched Damon and Ziva through cameras he set up in the hotel.

"They look good together; they compliment each other well." McGee said while watching Tony from the side of his eye.

"That's enough out of you elflord." Tony said bitterly. He turned to watch the cameras when his head spun around to stare at McGee's clothing.

"What are you wearing?"

"Hotel uniform."

"When did you change? Did you change in here, cause if you did, that's weird even for you-"

"I CHANGED back at the office…"

Damon opened the door and let Ziva walk in first. She scanned the room as he set his luggage down by hers. He sat on the bed and exhaled loudly.

"So, now what?"

Tony: Now you get off the bed because you and Ziva aren't going to be going to sleep anytime soon. Bed… Bed? There's only one bed! Christ he's going to sleep with her?!

"Well we are working blind here. We have no idea what or who we are looking for so we have to get downstairs and start looking for anyone that looks suspicious."

Ziva walked over to his luggage and unzipped it. She proceeded to go through his clothes, throwing what she didn't like on the floor. She scanned through the first and made her way to the second.

"What are you doing?"

"I am finding you proper attire. If we do not hurry, we will miss lunch and I am starving, you?" Ziva asked eyes still fixated on Damon's clothes.

"I am hungry, what are you going to wear? If you get to pick my clothes, then I get to pick yours."

Ziva turned her head and stared at Damon. She smiled to the side and shrugged.

Tony: Oh no no no no… no! He's going to pick her clothes, why didn't she ever ask me to do that? She's not going to let him, right? Right, Ziva wouldn't let him go through her clothes.

"Sure, that is fair."

Tony rolled his eyes. McGee smiled, his eyes never leaving the screen.

Ziva pulled out a buttoned up long sleeve shirt and a pair of jeans for him. Damon picked out a white, long flowing skirt and a black, tight fitting tank top.

"I am not wearing that!"

"We had a deal..." Damon said laughing.

"But what I picked out for you is appropriate… it is casual-"

"I don't like long sleeve, especially buttoned up, shirts." Damon said calmly.

Ziva swallowed hard.

"Fine"

She snatched her clothes from Damon, grinning widely, and headed towards the bathroom.

McGee sat back and grabbed a sandwich from out of his bag and began to scarf it down. Tony watched wide-eyed.

"What?" McGee asked.

"How can you eat and watch? How can you watch PERIOD? Is this what THIS looks like from this part of the mission?"

"Not so much fun is it?" McGee asked while chewing on food and giving a Tony a small smile in between bites.

Tony leaned back in his chair and sighed. It was going to be a long couple of days. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
