"Anybody wanna go see a movie?" Tony asked. "It's on me."

"Agent DiNozzo," Eli said. "Follow me."

"This can't be good," Tony muttered.

Eli lead him outside. He looked at Tony. "DiNozzo, it's no secret that I do not like you. You're also easily the most arrogant son of a bitch I have ever met."

"Thanks for the compliment, Eli," Tony replied.

"However," Eli continued, "I have seen how happy you make my daughter. I wish you two the best. But know this: If you hurt her, I will hurt you. Do I make myself clear?"

"Very clear, Director David. Is that all?"

"For now. Tell Gibbs I will be back for my re-match. Shalom." Eli walked to his rental and headed for the airport.

Tony walked back into Gibbs' house, and Gibbs told Tony and Ziva to meet him in the basement.

"Tony, Ziva," Gibbs said, "I know what you two have been doing for the last six months. How you managed to keep it a secret, I will never know."

"Gibbs-"

"Let me finish, Ziva. I can't be mad at you two or Abby and McGee for breaking Rule 12. Hell, I broke it myself a few days ago."

"Well, that's what Rule 51 is for. Right, boss?"

"DiNozzo..."

"Well, what else am I supposed to say?"

Head-slap.

"Sorry, boss."

Head-slap. From Ziva.

"I probably deserved that."

Catching the look on Gibbs' face, Ziva said, "I will be upstairs. See you later, Tony."

"See ya," Tony said. He kissed her on the cheek.

After she left the basement, Gibbs said, "Tony, now that you got her, never let her go."

"Could say the same about you and Director Shepard, couldn't I?"

"Yeah. Now, go. Enjoy the rest of the weekend."

"Going, boss. See ya Monday. Oh, and Eli said he'll be back for a re-match."

When Tony got back upstairs (and outside), Ziva asked what Gibbs told him.

"He said now that I've got you, not to let you go. And he's right."

"And my father?"

"He said that it's no secret that he doesn't like me, and that I'm easily the most arrogant son of a bitch he's ever met. But there was a silver lining. He basically gave me his blessing."

"Well, at last you two are acting civilized towards each other."

"What more could you ask for these days?" He kissed her, and they left Gibbs' house. They both knew he'd want to be left alone until Monday.

Down in the basement...

"So, Jethro, what did Tony tell you?" Jenny asked.

"He gave me the same advice about you that I gave him about Ziva," Gibbs replied.

"Which was?"

"Now that I've got you, don't let you go."

"That's great advice."

"Yeah, it is."

He went to a corner of the room and found a box marked 'useless crap.' He felt around in the box, and he found what he was looking for. He pulled out a 'Do Not Disturb' sign and hung it from the basement doorknob.

"What's that for, Jethro?"

"Just in case."

A little bit of advice goes far. "Now that you've got her, never let her go" is an example of that. Gibbs passed it on to Tony, who passed it back, and they both passed it on to McGee.

Life is just one big poker game. Sometimes, you have to go all in to win the jackpot.
