Tonight's episode was EPIC! Oh man it was good! I'm so excited! No more Ray! Sadly, that also means no more story. Although, I could do another one, only involving Tony and not Ziva. I could call it Forget Agent Barrett! Okay, crummy title, but anyway, give me some feedback on if I should make a sequal. Here's your next chapter.
"Do you think this was meant for Gibbs?" Ziva asked Tony once they got over the shock of seeing an eyeball encased in an ice cube.
"I don't know." Tony said. "But he's got his eye on us."
"That was terrible." Ziva said alluding to her partner's poorly said joke.
"Yeah, but I couldn't resist!" Tony said grinning.
"We should somehow get this to Abby." Ziva said.
"Yeah, do you think we can get anything to keep this frozen in?" Tony asked.
"Probably." Ziva answered. She called the bartender over and he gave them an ice pack before eyeing the couple's odd behavior.
"Let's go." Tony said. "I think I've had enough excitement for one night."
"Agreed." Ziva told him.
"How are you?" She asked as they left the building, hoping he would open up to her.
"How are you?" Tony replied, turning the question back to her. Ziva stopped walking. Had he really done this to her? Why did he do that? Was he jealous? She sighed and decided to tell him how she felt.
"Angry." Ziva said as they started walking again. "Confused? I am not sure. All I know is that Ray hurt me and used me like all the other men I have dated." Ziva sighed again. "Enough about me." She told Tony. Tony smiled at her.
"It's okay." He said. "I'm always here to listen, like your partner should, or even a brother." He told her, faltering at the end. Inwardly, Tony cringed. Did he really want to bring that subject up now? He knew he was bothered by it, but it shouldn't give him a reason to talk to her about it. Although, he really did want to know how she felt.
"You think of me as your sister?" Ziva asked cautiously. She was not sure she wanted to know the answer. Actually, she wondered how he got that idea in the first place. Had he been talking to Ray? If he were, what she had told her ex- boyfriend was completely untrue. In fact, she felt more for Tony than she had Ray.
"No, but I was under the impression that you thought of me as your brother." Tony told her. She smiled.
"I do not." Ziva said reassuringly. He smiled back.
"Well Zi, I gotta go." Tony said as they got to the end of the street.
"I will see you tomorrow?" Ziva asked.
"Yep!" Tony said. They were about to part ways, when Tony looked at Ziva again.
"Can you take the eye?" Tony asked. "I'm afraid if E.J. comes over she'll see it and want to start solving the case again."
"Sure." Ziva said. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Shoot." Tony answered.
"Why did you wait so long to tell us about your relationship?" Ziva asked.
"I didn't want an uproar going on in the office." Tony lied. He knew he lied. He hadn't told anyone about the relationship because he was afraid of hurting Ziva.
"You?" Tony asked.
"Same." Ziva told him. She knew she had lied, but she knew Tony well enough that he lied about his secret relationship too. Ziva was always sure that somehow she and Ray would never work out, even though she hated to admit it. But, the idea of hurting Tony after she was in a relationship with Ray hurt her too much.
"See you tomorrow Zi." Tony said smiling a quick smile at her. Ziva watched Tony walk across the street. She always knew she should Forget "Mr. Miami," and Tony had always hinted at it, but now, as her partner walked away, she knew she could.
