Author's Note: Borrowed Gibbs' new team member from Covert Affairs which is a show I also like. Some of you may know it as well.

Tony had been home for two days when there was a knock at his door. He moved slowly over to open it with his gun in his hand.

"Wow geez boss, you scared me, you couldn't call first?"

Gibbs said "Sorry Tony but we need to talk."

He replied "About what?"

Gibbs said "The attack on you may have been a Mossad hit. Seems Ben Gi Don was here at the same time you were hurt, Eli David's right hand man."

Tony's face paled. "Wait a minute the last time I saw him was after Rivkin, well both of them. And he was sent here to hurt me?"

Gibbs nodded. "It looks more like that as we gather evidence. Recognize these photos?" He handed some pictures to Tony of himself and Penelope on a date.

Tony said "That was our three month anniversary, I took her to Luigi's for dinner and then she wanted to have dessert somewhere else."

Gibbs sighed. "They might use her to try and get at you again. Vance is headed to Tel Aviv with Ziva and myself to get some answers. She is no longer on the team with me, we are getting a new woman Annie Walker."

Tony blinked and then rubbed his ribs with his hand for a moment. "Wow whenever you bring me scuttlebutt boss you do it in a big way. Does Hotch know about this?"

He replied "He is coming with me to Tel Aviv. He wants to know if Ziva should be up on charges for this whole mess."

Tony nodded. "Should I be worried about Penelope?"

Gibbs said "She has Agent Morgan standing by with her."

Tony shrugged, "Derek is a good guy, and he will keep her safe. I want to go back to the BAU again and work. I'm not good with sitting at home doing nothing."

Gibbs said "You had abdominal surgery so you need to go easy Dinozzo."

Tony shrugged. "Makes me feel like a Jamaican beach is a nice idea. Though I would want Penelope with me and that can't happen right now until we are done with watchdogs. Why the hell would Ziva want her father to hurt me, unless she didn't know? We were at least being civil before I changed jobs and now I wonder if I even knew her at all. Or was she just a Mossad assassin and nothing more?"

Gibbs patted the back of his head gently. "You have pizza coming in an hour and also a friend. Put this out of your head for one evening. I'll make it right, I promise you Tony. Whoever is responsible for hurting my son will answer for that. You can go back to the BAU in the morning as long as you go easy and stay with your friend Penelope. Those are Hotch's orders not mine."

Tony smiled. "Thanks boss I can only watch DVD's so many hours of the day.'

Gibbs said "Just behave yourself and make sure you rest when you need to all right."

Tony nodded. "On it, you have my word. I can't worry Penelope like that again anytime soon."

One hour later: Tony heard a knock at his door again. He opened it to find his usual pizza delivery guy was replaced by Penelope. She said "Hello, my sweet angel fish."

He smiled "Well hello yourself, my lucky penny." "Come in."

She said "Thank you. I got your usual pizza and a grilled vegetable salad for myself and to share with you, they had fresh mozzarella cheese to put on it as well."

Tony said "Sounds good, Mario has a killer house dressing on salads, peppercorn ranch I think."

She laughed. "Lucky I picked that one then."

"Let's go into my kitchen and eat shall we", he said.

She smiled. "I like that."

They went into his kitchen and started having dinner together.

She said "I heard you're coming back to work tomorrow. I made my couch nice and comfy for you to use."

He nodded. "I have to stay with you for a while until I am cleared by my doctor and healed and well the other mess is resolved. "

She replied "They will get whoever did this, Hotch on a mission is unstoppable I know firsthand."

Tony shrugged. "Good thing he will have Gibbs and Vance with him then because Gibbs is like a grizzly bear with a wounded paw when one of us gets hurt. I think they will have a beautiful friendship."

Penelope laughed. "You are something else Anthony Dinozzo Junior, and that's probably why I love you."

Tony kissed her cheek. "I love you too my sunshine and I am glad you are in my life."

A day later: Tony was back at work and Penelope's lair was fairly comfortable for him. He said " I could get used to this couch you know hermoso."

She smiled. " You are going to have to stop that, it makes me go all gooey inside and I can't kiss you or jump you right now in here."

He ran his hand down her face. "Ok Spanish only off duty. I understand my lucky penny."

Then her phone rang. "Hey baby girl and cowboy, we need some thoughts on our unsub. Who grabbed the female victim here and took her off the grid and how did they do it when she was in a public place , leaving work?"

Tony said "She has a military connection, Dad was a marine gunnery sargent. I can't imagine someone would want to tangle with a marine's daughter especially a sniper."

Morgan said "Gibbs was the same thing right? That's how you know about it."

He replied "I know that and a lot more Derek. Someday I'll share."

Derek said "I understand."

Penelope said "She worked in an animal shelter part time while going to college, wanted to be a veterinarian. I'll look and see if any of the employees were suspicious."

Tony replied "Those places have animal tranquilizers in them could be easily used to subdue a woman with one shot. From my time in Baltimore, Special K would put just about anyone under for the count."

Rossi chimed in. "Good angle, I knew we needed another Italian on this team for a reason Tony."

Tony smiled and said "Prego."
