Ziva: Half brother.

"Seemed a little testy back there." Tony slipped into the elevator. "I mean, testier than usual."
"It is not worth discussing. I was simply taken off guard."
"You? Taken off guard? That's like McGeek forgetting a computer password." Tony continued.
"You are not going to let this go are you?" She watched him shake his head. "Very well, I simply have not heard his name in a while. It was a little jarring. Happy?"
"That's understandable."
The seriousness of his response made her curious. "Why do you ask Tony?"
"No reason."
"Did the mention of his name jar something in you as well?"
Tony stared out the window, not caring to respond but did. "Trust me, that guys name would jar something in all of us."
"You still hate him yes?"
Tony turned from the window and didn't hesitate. "With every bone in my body."
Ziva swallowed, not expecting something quite that intense. "That's understandable."
Only Tony didn't feel the need to continue the conversation and turned back towards the window. Maybe some things aren't better left unsaid after all.
