Chapter 12: Tonight

"That was amazing Tony."

"I was hoping you'd like it." Tony said

They had just finished eating on Tony's couch while watching a show called NCIS.

"You wanna know something?" Tony asked

"Do I really have a choice?" Ziva asked

"No. Anyways, the way this show portrays NCIS is completely wrong. We don't play pranks on each other or crack jokes while working. We are completely serious." Tony said in an over-dramatic tone.

"Of course. Because you are a professional who would never make jokes or play pranks on your colleagues." Ziva said sarcastically.

"Now you're understanding." Tony said as he moved to kiss Ziva. Ziva couldn't help but to return the kiss. The man was becoming a drug to her. When Tony started to lower her onto the couch she decided to say something.

"Tony" she said gasping for air

"Yeah"

"You do realize that you have to go back to work, right?" Ziva asked looking up at him

"I think I will survive." Tony said leaning down to kiss her neck.

Ziva brought her hand up to the back of his neck to keep his head there. He brought his head up and kissed her. He moved his hands down her waist and slightly under her shirt so that it was covering the tip of his fingers. Her hands left his neck and went to his shirt and she started to undo the buttons. Tony stopped kissing and looked into her eyes. Her eyes had turned dark brown and seemed to be glazed over with lust.

"Are you sure about this?" Tony asked her while she pushed his now open shirt off his shoulders

Ziva looked into her eyes a thought about it. All my life I have been doing things other people wanted me to do. I have never once done something for me. I have a man here that wants to love me. ME. Of all people. Maybe for once I should something I want to do.

"Yes." She whispered.

Ziva arched her back so Tony could remove her shirt. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pressed her lips back to his. Tony lifted her off the couch and carried her back to his room where they did not have sex, but made love.


Gibbs looked at his watch and saw that it was now almost 1445.

"Where the hell is DiNozzo?" Gibbs shouted

"I don't know boss. I've been trying to call him for the past half four, but he is not answering. Every time it goes straight to voicemail." McGee said

"His phone is off." Gibbs said

"Yeah. Maybe he just lost track of time."

"Hmm. I'm sure he did." Gibbs said before he walked out of the bullpen.


"What's the plan?" Malachi asked

"We will wait at his house. Then we will move."

"That's it? Nothing else?"

"What are you after?" the man asked

"You were sent here. You were personally chosen for this. I am just trying to make sure there are no other parts of this plan. I have dealt with people who decided at the last minute to change the plan. Let's just say I wasn't expecting it and there were repercussions. "Malachi said

"Just being cautious?"

"Yes."

"Well you have nothing to worry about." The man said. "I am not changing anything on you. Everything will go according to plan."

"Good." Malachi said

"Though we may run into a problem." The man said

"Are you going to make me beg?" Malachi asked

"Ziva. I am not sure whose side she is on."

"When the time comes, she will make her choice and hopefully it will be the right one." Malachi said

"Let's hope so." He said as he walked to the door "And don't tell her I'm here. I want it to be a surprise."

Malachi watched as the door shut. Something is going to go wrong tonight.


Tony woke with weight on top of him. Once he realized what it was, or more like whom, a smile crossed his face. It all came back to him. The sweat, heat, and love. He had had sex before. Plenty of times as to make him the master of it. But he had never made love. It was a feeling like no other. Right then Tony realized that he would do anything for her. Even though he never really believed in soul mates he knew he had found his. Even though she snores like a drunken sailor.

And I wouldn't have it any other way. Aww man. Gibbs is gonna kill me.

"Zee-vah. C'mon you need to get up." Tony whispered

Ziva reached her hand up and put it over his mouth. "You know I love talking with you," she mumbled "but can you shut up for at least 10 minutes?"

"Ha. I could, but I think you might want to commit the sound of my voice to memory." Tony said

"Why?" she asked in a tone that made it sound like she was whining

"Aw. Is my ninja tired?" Tony asked while sticking his lip out even though she couldn't see him because her head was still on his chest.

"Yes. I was just worked pretty hard. Now answer the question. Why should I need to commit your voice to memory?" Ziva asked

"Because you probably will never see me again." Tony said

At that Ziva propped her chin up on his chest. "Why is that?"

"Gibbs will kill me."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about him. He won't kill you." Ziva said in a know-it-all tone as she laid her head back down on his chest

"Why is that?" Tony asked

"I can tell he needs you. Whether he will admit it is another thing. But you mean a lot to him. You have been working under him the longest, right?"

"Yes I have. And please don't say anything about me working under him while I'm naked under you. It puts bad pictures in my mind. And what makes you so sure that I mean a lot to him?" tony asked now curious

"Let's just say it's a feeling I have." She said

"I hope your feeling is right." Tony said " But seriously, I need to take a shower and get dressed to head back to work."

"Alright." Ziva said as she moved off him.

Tony sat up and gave her a soft, lingering kiss. "Care to join me?" he asked

"Do you really need to ask?" Ziva replied as they both got out of bed


Tony quickly ran to his seat and checked the time. 1520. Dammit. I'm practically two hours late. I can see the miles of paperwork I will be forced to do.

"Ow!" Tony shouted as he felt a stinging pain in the back of his head.

"Were you really not expecting that DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked as he walked to his desk

"No boss. I-I mean yes. Well kinda. Sorta." Tony stammered while Gibbs stared at him "Thank you boss."

"That's better. My office DiNozzo." Gibbs said as he moved to the elevator

"If I don't come back probie, then Gibbs killed me." Tony whispered as he got out of his chair

"Don't be so dramatic Tony. He won't kill you." McGee said

"Why is that?" Tony asked wondering if it was the same reason Ziva had told him

"Because we're in a federal building. He would be crazy to kill you here." McGee said smiling

"Thanks a lot McGoo." Tony said walking to the elevator. When he entered Gibbs was looking down at the floor. Once the doors closed and they started moving between floors, Gibbs stopped the elevator.

"How well do you think you know Ziva?" Gibbs asked as he stood up straight and looked in Tony's eyes

"I don't think I know her, I do. Why do you ask?" Tony replied

"Because you don't really know her. She is not who you think she is." Gibbs said

"I know who she is? I don't understand what you're trying to say." Tony said starting to get aggravated

"She lied to you. All this time she has lied to you. Her name is not Ziva Even-Chen. It's Ziva David. She is an officer of Mossad. She was sent here on a mission." Gibbs said

"How could she be some agent of Mossad and be on a mission when for the past two weeks she has been with me?" Tony asked

"Use your brain DiNozzo." Gibbs said as his voice started to rise "You ARE her mission!"

"What proof do you have on any of this?" Tony said "Are you sure it's not you just not wanting me to be happy? Thinking that if I have her I would want to be with her more than be here at NCIS?"

"That is not true DiNozzo and you know it." Gibbs said "Remember that photo I took of the man outside my house?"

"Yeah" Tony sighed as he spoke, waiting for Gibbs to get to the point

"Officer Malachi Ben-Gidon is an officer of Mossad. The Director of Mossad is Eli David. Ari Haswari is his son." Gibbs explained. Tony just stood there trying to put it all together

"You killed Ari." Tony said "Ari was the son of the Director of Mossad. You think David sent Ben-Gidon to off you?"

"Yes. And not just him. Eli David sent someone else. His daughter Ziva David." Gibbs said making a point of their last names being the same

"What makes you think that it's my Ziva. Plenty of people have the same name." Tony said without even realizing he said my Ziva

"We pulled up her records. The face was the same. Ben-Gidon called her at least a dozen times today. They definitely know each other."

"I don't believe it. How do I fit into this?" Tony asked while his mind ran wild

"She used you to get to me. She played you Tony." Gibbs said

"No." Tony said

"Tony! Look at the facts. Her father is the Director of Mossad. Her brother is Ari whom I killed. Next thing you know two Mossad officers just happen to show up in D.C. while one starts spending time with you the other is snooping around my house planting bugs." Gibbs said as he took them out of his pocket "It's not a coincidence. I don't believe in them. She has used you from the beginning. Now I think they are going to make their move tonight because of all those phone calls."

"No. No way! She loves me." Tony exclaimed "I love her. She wouldn't lie to me."

"That's all she has done DiNozzo! Face it." Gibbs said

"I need to hear her say it to believe." Tony said

"And if she just lies to you again?" Gibbs asked

"She won't." Tony said as he hit the switch

Before Tony was able to exit the elevator Gibbs put his hand on his shoulder. "I know you love her DiNozzo. And maybe she feels the same, but that doesn't mean the ones we love won't lie to us." Gibbs said


After Ziva dropped Tony off at NCIS she checked her phone and noticed that she had multiple missed calls from Malachi. She drove over to his hotel and knocked on his door.

"Ziva! Why the hell weren't you answering your phone?" Malachi asked

"I was preoccupied." Ziva said as she walked past him into his room.

"Please come in." Malachi said to no one as he closed the door

"So what was so important?" Ziva asked

"We are making our move tonight."

"Tonight." Ziva said "I can't believe it."

"Why? You knew that we had to move eventually. Or were you just so wrapped up in your romance that you forgot?"

"I never once forgot why I was here." Ziva said seriously

"Good. I need you to be on my side for this." Malachi said

"Whose side do you think I'm on?" Ziva asked shocked that he would even think that she wasn't on his side

"Whichever side that won't make Agent DiNozzo hate you." Malachi said

"I will be there." Ziva said as she started walking to the door "And I will do what's right" she said and then closed the door

That's what I'm afraid of.


As the doors to autopsy slid open Dr. Donald Mallard looked up from his desk to see who had entered.

"Anthony. This is a surprise." Ducky said

"Yeah I know. I just needed to ask you something." Tony said as he stood in front of one of the tables. Ducky stood up and walked over to Tony

"What's on your mind, my boy?" Ducky said

"Ziva. There is a possibility that she has lied to me." Tony said

"I'm sorry Tony. Why is it that you came here?" Ducky asked

"I wanted to know if someone you loved ever lied to you." Tony said

"Well I have been through a lot in my life and seen many things. I was once young and had my fair share of romances. Some of them I thought were love and I was wrong. But having seen the way you talk about Ziva I know you love her. But to answer your question yes. I have been lied to by people I love." Ducky said

"How'd you move past it?" Tony asked

"By seeing things from their point of view. And by knowing that they didn't want to lie."

"But they did! Even if they didn't want to they did. They had a choice and made it." Tony said

"Yes they had a choice, but sometimes they don't know all their options." Ducky said

"And if they do know their options." Tony asked

"Then you must find a way to talk to them about it and understand why they did what they did."

"Thanks Ducky. I think I need to go visit someone." Tony said as he walked out of autopsy.

"Good luck" Ducky said.


Tony stepped into the elevator and pulled out his cell phone. He dialed a number and waited for the person to answer.

"Tony."

"Ziva I need to talk to you." Tony said

"Ok. Where and when?" Ziva asked

"Your hotel room and now." Tony said

"I will be waiting." Ziva said and she noticed Tony didn't say anything about her not using a contraction "Is everything okay Tony?"

"I'm not sure. I'll see you soon." Tony said then hung up


Ziva put her phone down and made a U-turn on the road to head back to the hotel. The Israeli Embassy can wait. But what is it Tony wants? He couldn't have found out. I haven't slipped up. There is no reason he should suspect anything. Except…. Malachi. They had a picture of him up on their screen. Something must have happened.

Ziva sighed. "I knew today would be a big day."

A/N: Well I hated the first part of this chapter, but I thought the rest was ok. So big blowout will be in the next chapter. So I have 41 alerts. That means 41 people are reading this story.
