CHAPTER 21 - GRAB YOUR GEAR

Tony came walking in Abby's lab the next day, and he found her curled up her knees to her chest. He softly walked to her and shook her slightly she looked at him.

"Good morning Abby" He said to her as he helped her up. "What's wrong?"

Abby looked at Tony "I was thinking of Ziva. Shalir. Why did she have to die Tony? She was my only friend"

Tony hugged Abby "I wish I had an answer but I don't the only thing I know is that you should give Ziva a change Abby"

"But…"

"No but. Do you remember when you first met Ziva Shalir? You thought she would be making fun of you, just like rest but in the end she became your best friend, it can be just the same with Ziva, give her a change Abby, for me"

Abby nodded.

And it was that afternoon that she ran upstairs into the bullpen.

"Do you guys have anything to do, tonight?"

Tony and McGee both said no, Ziva did not say anything; Abby did not like her so probably she was not talking to her.

"Okay I want you to be at my place round eight"

Then she walked to Ziva's desk

"And you?" She asked, Ziva looked up, did she really ask her "Do you have something to do tonight?"

"No I have not"

"Great then you can come too! Umm…How about we drive to your place first after work, then I can show you the way to mine, is that okay"

Ziva was very surprised at Abby's propose "Yes, that is okay"

"Great I will come and get you"

And like that Abby and Ziva left at the end of the day. In the car it was very silent; though that was mostly because Abby was terrified because of Ziva's driving. Abby took a big breath when she got out of the car. She had heard from Tony and McGee it was best not to ask about the driving, so she did not.

In Ziva's apartment Abby looked quietly around when Ziva was packing her stuff. There were not many personal touches; it was livable but nothing more. The only thing that showed a little bit of who Ziva might be was the piano, with one piece open on it. Abby studied it, it seemed as if she knew it but she could not place it. Then Ziva came back and they were ready for another ride of death for Abby.

When they were in Abby's apartment, Ziva was surprised, she had thought everything had been black, but it was the opposite, sure she had some darker stuff but the rest was all in bright colors. They had brought everything in place and were now silently drinking.

"Ziva?" Abby broke the silence; Ziva looked up at her "I am sorry. I should not have been as mean to you as I have been."

Ziva's eyes turned soft "It is alright Abby. I guess that I should not expect you to immediately warm up to me. I mean your friend had just died when I met you"

"If I tell you something will you promise not to tell?"

"I promise, I know how to keep a secret"

"It was not just because my friend had died. You know Tony used to be my adopted brother. One time we had moved to DC and I met this girl, she became my first real friend. She and her mother died in a car crash. After that it seemed as if I was losing everyone, Tony was taken back to his father, we moved again, not long after that my dad died, and now when Kate died, it just seems as if everyone around me keeps dying"

"Believe it or not, but I know what it is to lose the ones you love. Let us just try to get along from now on"

Abby smiled as Ziva said that, not long after that Tony and McGee came. They all had changed into easier cloths. The evening began with a meal which Tony had brought with him, and a glass of wine that McGee had brought. After dinner Abby and Ziva cleaned up while Tony and McGee started up the movie. And surprising Ziva Tony had not brought any movies. The first one that they had popped in was Austin Power Goldmember. Ziva watched in amazement to the movie, after that it was time for a more exiting movie, so Abby gave Tony gothika to put in.

And so came many many more movies. By the end of them all McGee was already asleep and Abby was using his legs as a pillow. So Tony and Ziva were the only ones left awake. Together they put the empty bowl of popcorn away, shut down the TV and placed a blanket over Abby and McGee.

As both of them had offered to take the couch they lay down on it. After having Tony's feet in her face for the fifth time Ziva suggested that they turned around, Tony had no problem with it. He did not admit it but he felt different for Ziva then that he did for Abby, he liked her. There was a little fight about space and that was why in the end Ziva ended up with almost her whole upper body lying on Tony's chest. And neither one of them minded at all.

The next morning Abby was the first one awake. Because he shot up she woke McGee, McGee wanted to tell her that it was too early but Abby placed her hand over his mouth, and then pointed to Ziva and Tony. During the night their legs had entwined and Tony had his arms secured around Ziva, holding her tightly against his chest. Abby quickly shot a few pictures with her cell phone before she and McGee made a plan. Abby held the cup half filled with water over them and nodded at McGee to yell. And on the same time as McGee yelled

"GRAB YOUR GEAR" Abby threw the half cup of water on them. They both jumped up, Tony with a

"Yes boss"

And Ziva with her gun, god knows where she had hidden it, pointed at McGee. Then they realized that they were still half sitting on each other they quickly stood up. Abby and McGee both caught an angry look, both of them gulped, the smirk that was on Tony and Ziva's faces told them that they would be taken back.
