Author's Note: My head works in mysterious ways, thinking Mossad was responsible for the assault and injuries to Tony for eliminating Michael Rivkin. Officer Ben GI don in particular.

A few days later: Ziva David sat in the office of the BAU wondering with some irritation what she was doing there in the first place. She had not been near Tony since he had had an issue in the hospital or called him. Then Aaron Hotchner said "Officer David, I am SSA Aaron Hotchner. "

She said "I would like to know why I am here when I should be working."

He replied "Would any of your fathers men refer to Tony as Agent Meatball?"

She said "My father did when he was angry because Tony had to kill an asset of his in what I know now was self-defense. I did not a few months ago. Someone else could know that from working with him I am sure."

Hotch nodded. "Do you know any of the men who work for your father by name? I have a feeling one might be responsible for the attack on Tony."

Ziva wrote down a few names. "These are his three most trusted men and protectors. I had nothing to do with this and I know nothing about it."

He nodded. "I believe you but let me get one thing straight, if someone connected to your father injured one of my agents on my watch, they will answer to me. I keep an eye on my team."

Ziva shrugged. "I will remember that and report this to my director and Agent Gibbs. They may have some questions for you as well."

He said "When I have more Intel I will speak to both of them as well as Agent Fornell. If you will excuse me I need to handle some other business with my team. You can go down the same elevator you came up in to the building in. Also stay close in case I have more questions. I do know where the navy yard is."

Ziva nodded. "So do I and I need to find the answers it seems from my father?" She got up and left then.

Hotch went to Dave Rossi's door and knocked on it gently before walking in.

"What's on your mind Aaron?"

He replied "What do you know about Mossad?"

Dave said "A lot of urban legends but you don't want to poke that sleeping lion unless absolutely necessary why?"

He said "I have a feeling that they may have been behind the attack on Tony. My gut is just feeling a little uneasy. Do we tell the team or wait?"

Dave said "Why don't we look into it a little more before we do that."

He replied "Well I do have a few names that is can get Garcia to run for passport checks and see if anyone was here three weeks ago that left rather quickly."

Rossi said "Let me know what you find and then we will fill in the team when you have more."

Hotch replied "Penelope is going to be pissed if I am right, not to mention this could do to Tony potentially."

Rossi said "Let me worry about kitten and Tony. You find out what you need to and what we need to do about it."

"Thanks Dave, nobody jumps anyone on my team without me taking it personally."

He said "I know Aaron and I want in on this too."

Garcia had come in for a little while since Tony was being settled at Gibbs' house. She was running a virus check on one of her babies that had been dragging a little when her phone buzzed with Hotch's name on the display screen at her desk unit.

"Yes my liege, how can I assist you in the world of all things tech today?"
Hotch replied "I have a few names that I would like a passport check on in my office, in a file. "

She said "I'll be right down the hall to get them sir, Garcia out."

Penelope had on casual pants in light gray and a bright blue sweater that went with the streak in her hair.

Hotch said "Here is the file Penelope, let me know if any of those three names had passport activity about three weeks ago."

She replied "Absolutely , but if one of these people hurt my angelfish or knows who did, promise me you'll make them sweat sir."

He said "I will, nobody hurts an agent of mine on my watch and then thumbs their nose at me. "

She said "I know because they don't want to see scary Hotch."
