Alrighty! You all ready! DiNozzo's plan is being put into action. Who's ready for this?
While they waited to put their plan into action they munched on sandwiches prepared by Tony and Tim. Then thinking ahead, in case they would need to act quickly, they got dressed for the day and then met back in the living room for a game of Uno while they still waited. In the middle of round two Abby looked at Tony and in sync with one and other, "Car door!" They both said and ran for the window.
By the time they got to the window all that was there was their two cars and one missing yellow one, "Darn it!" Abby said as they went back to the living room, "I just wanted a peek!" She moped.
"Guess we really will have to do some investigating if we want to know what's going on." Tony said and shuffled the deck over.
Gibbs entered the home, "Have a good morning?" He asked his team.
"Oh yeah! We watched movies, made lunch and now just playing some games!" Abby told him, "There's an extra sandwich in the fridge if you like."
"I'll pass, I have some plans in about an hour and they will include food." He said and went for his room.
"Going out for dinner, Boss?" Tony asked but the only response was the door closing.
The group moved into the dinning room to talk about the next step of their plan, "What if he really is on a case?" Ziva questioned.
"Yeah, and what if us snooping cause him to be in danger?" Abby fallowed.
"If he really is on a case, he could use backup. We will just keep our distance until we know more." Tony told them.
"Now, Tim and I will stay here while Ziva and Abby go take the car out and wait for him to drive by, Ziva has been tailing enough to know how to play it. When we find out where he is, Abby can drive back and pick up Tim and I. We can make our next move then."
"This really is starting to feel like a case." Tim groaned.
"Come on, Probie. Let's expand the excitement of this vacation outside of the bedroom." Tony winked at him.
McGee's face turned fifty different shades of red, each a little darker than the last and in a matter of seconds. His mouth was open to spit a protest but Abby and Ziva's laughter drowned it out.
Once the laughter died down, "Gibbs said he would be doing something that involves dinner, right?" Abby asked and the rest of them nodded, "I don't know about you guys but I am going to change then. What if he goes to a nice restaurant? I want to be able to blend in as much as I can!"
"She is right." Ziva said. "If we go into a place in jeans and t-shirts we all will stick out like sore fingers."
"Thumbs." The other three corrected with smiles.
"Whatever!"
The two girls went to find something more appropriate to wear while the boys washed up the kitchen and made sure Gibbs didn't leave too quick.
Abby grabbed something from her closet and hurried down to Ziva's room to change. They planned to leave through the door in Ziva's room so they wouldn't tip off Gibbs.
"Zee?" Abby knocked on the door before entering.
"Come on in." She responded.
Ziva had already changed into a high waisted, very flowly long black skirt and a navy blue tank top to go with it. She decided to leave her hair down because doing anything else with it would have taken her too long.
Abby quickly changed into tight black pants and a ruby red backless top. She pulled her hair back into a single ponytail hanging low down her back.
The two of them snuck out and into the Flex (that way Gibbs would have the nicer car) and Ziva drove them to the spot Tony talked about and they waited until they either got a text or saw the other car drive down the road.
"Where'd the girls get to?" Gibbs asked as he walked out of the bedroom.
"Out to grab some pizza and a few movies we can't find on the TV. You look pretty sharp, Boss." McGee told him.
You could tell his hair was combed. He wore a nice pair of dress pants, a gray button down shirt complete with a sleek black tie and a jacket draped over his arm. All he gave was a head nod to acknowledge he heard what he said.
"Yup, just going to have a night in." DiNozzo said.
"And you made the women go out in the rain to pick all this up?"
The two looked at one and other and suddenly realized how crappy that must have looked, "Well, we did make and clean up lunch. The girls offered to run out and get everything since we did that." DiNozzo made up.
Gibbs just shook his head and walked towards the front door, "Take it easy tonight." Gibbs told them and left.
Just as the door closed both of the guys ran up stairs and dressed to match his look. By the time they got finished Abby was mere minutes from pulling into the driveway.
"He is at some Italian place about fifteen minutes away. Looks pretty fancy, actually." Abby told them.
"Did you see the yellow bug?" McGee asked.
"In case you haven't noticed, it's kind of pouring out here. I dropped off Ziva and turned right around to get you. I didn't feel like getting soaking wet in case I had to go into the restaurant."
"Right. So, where is Ziva?" Tony questioned.
"Inside. She told me she would just linger by the hostess stand and keep an eye on things until we all got there and decided what we should do next."
"Okay. Step Two…" Tony went on.
Tony straightened his jacket before heading into the restaurant alone. It took him only seconds to see Ziva standing off to the side, just looking like she was waiting for someone, "Excuse me, ma'am. You can't be dining alone this evening. A women as beautiful as you must be escorted by someone." He said smoothly extending his hand to help her up.
"DiNozzo, what are you doing!?" She smiled.
"Doing what I do best. I say we get a table and enjoy what smells like some fantastic food!" He told her.
"And what about Abby and McGee?"
"Outside, finding the mystery car."
"You mean breaking into the mystery car."
"Yes, exactly."
"And what if Gibbs sees us?"
"The man gave me permission to break rule twelve, Ziva. He won't say a word about us." He tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ear, "Don't worry." He smiled.
"Table for two, sir?" A small, blonde, hostess asked Tony.
"Your finest table." He beamed back holding Ziva's hand.
So, I had a request for another Tony/Ziva movie night...I might still do this but until then, I hope you will enjoy this little dinner date I am planning for them. I have a pretty nice McGee/Abby breaking into a car thing in the works too. But the kicker is, do I want to keep this the fun, lighthearted fic that this is or do I want to spice it up with some Gibbs drama? What do you all think.
Also, I know this was a long one but I needed to set it up just right, thanks for sticking with me through it :)
