Before they knew it the photography class was back in the classroom and packing their books away.

"Hey, I was thinking if you want a bit of cheering up you could come to the diner and meet all the gang, you know the lot at lunch and you know the diner, the one where you had that scrumptious blueberry muffin" Tony pondered.

"I may join you, all of you" Ziva corrected herself quickly. "I will find out and if I can I will be there" Ziva announced.

Tony nodded and walked away, as he strolled out of the classroom door he called back "Bye Gina!" This made a huge smile spread from ear to ear on Ziva's face, she really wanted to go but should she be out and about or should she just stay inside and away from society as much as possible so it would be harder for her father to locate her? She decided that she would seek Jenny's advice.

A moment later she was in the girls bathroom, Gibbs wasn't due to arrive for another twenty minutes, he was held up at work, Ziva didn't mind, it gave her time to think about what to do about going to the diner. She decided that she would phone jenny now and then Gibbs would have a good heads up amount of time to not annoy him.

"Hey Gina what's up?" Jenny asked, she called Ziva Gina as her phone call could be recorded and be evidence if Eli made the accusation that the director of NCIS had kidnaped his daughter.

"I was wondering if I was allowed to go out tonight with some friends" there was a secret seeking of advice behind that question; would it be a bad idea and too risky if she was to go out in public other that school?

"Yeah sure just make sure you are home by six" this was Jenny telling her it would be okay if it was only for a short time. "Do you need Jethro to give you a lift?"

"No, it will be okay, I can walk, clear my head" Ziva said with a hint of anxiety in her voice. "Thank you I will see you soon" which meant she would be careful and stay alert of who was around.

"Call me if you need anything" Jenny meant this, she felt responsible for Ziva, she would not let anyone hurt her.

It didn't take long for Ziva to find the diner, as she walked in Tony called her name "GINA! You made it" he proclaimed.

Ziva just smiled and advanced towards the booth they were all sat at. "Of course, I just had to sort a couple things out, oh and by the way I cannot stay too long, sorry"

"It doesn't matter, your heeeeerre!" Abby informed as she moved to hug her, Ziva didn't move.

"Come and sit down here" Tony told Ziva as he patted the room next to him on the bench. Ziva didn't like to take orders but as he said it in such a way that made her smile, she obeyed. "Can I get you anything?" He asked looking straight in to her eyes.

Ziva looked away and answered "No it is okay" Ziva felt really nervous around Tony and she didn't like it, she was mostly a strong independent person, hello she ran away from home.

Every time the door opened Ziva always looked round to see who it was, she was worried that her father and his people would have been able to locate her, only time could tell.
