Tony opened the door when Malachi rang the bell. "Hey, thanks for having me." "Yeah," Tony just said as he walked back towards the kitchen to see if he can help Ziva with dinner. "You go entertain the assassin, I will make dinner." Ziva swatted his arm. "Don't call him an assassin.." "He is, isn't he?" "Yes, but I am one too." Tony shook his head. "You were, now you are a mother on maternity leave from NCIS" She sighed and retreated to the living room. "Hi, it's great to see you again." They hugged. "Yeah, it's been what? 4 hours? Was everything okay with Kaylee?" Ziva nodded. "You want to meet her?" Malachi smiled at her. "Ofcourse I would." "Stay with him Ziva!" Tony yelled from the kitchen. Malachi raised his eyebrows. "He'll warm up to you, eventually." "What's his problem?" "The whole Mossad assassin thing." "But you were a Mossad assassin." "Yeah, and he warmed up to me eventually." Malachi smiled and watched Kaylee. "Yeah, clearly." Tony walked in. "Dinners ready." They both nodded. Tony walked off. "You want to tell him about..." he trailed off. "NO!" She said hastily. "I need to know for sure."

Dinner went good. Tony behaved, mostly. Although he was glad when Malachi said it was time to leave. Tony said his goodbyes in the living room and Ziva walked him out. "So I'll see you tomorrow? Around noon?" Ziva nodded. "We got to find out, soon." "I'll pick you up here. We can drop Kaylee off at day care." They said goodbye and Ziva went back inside. "So, I just put Kaylee to bed. What you wanna do?" He put his arms around her and kissed her neck. "Hm, I don't know Tony? What you have in mind?" He sucked lightly on her pulse point. "I think you know what I have in mind." She smiled as he walked her backwards towards their bedroom.

"Thanks for cooking Kate" Gibbs said as he put their plates in the sink and poured some soap on them. "You're welcome, it's the least I can do Jethro." He smiled, this was the first time she said his first name. "Oh yeah? For what?" "For visiting me, talking to me. Protecting me." Kate grabbed a towel to dry the plates after Gibbs cleaned them. "You don't have to" "I want to," She smiled at him. Damn, that smile totally made him melt. "Kate, before this whole threatening thing." Kate looked at him, hopeful. "I uuhm, do you want to go out to dinner with me sometime? When this is all over?" She smiled "As in, a date?" She loved to see him squirm, all uncomfortable. "Uuh, yeah. But if you don't want to that's okay. I mean, you don't have to." "Hmm, I don't know." She shouldn't do this. It's mean to torture him like this. "It's ok, you don't have to say it. I can take a hint." His shoulder slumped. She squeezed his hand slightly. "A date would be great." He looked surprised at her. Did she just mess with him? "That's mean." She nodded. "Payback's a bitch.." "I can take it." He smiled. He's going on a date with a beautiful woman. "Don't be happy yet. We gotta get this 'friend' first Jethro." "Don't matter, I got a yes." "It can take a while.." "I'm a patient guy. I've waited a long time for that answer Kate" She kissed his cheek. "You've been wanting to ask me out for two years?" "More like, since Air Force One." He grabbed two beers from the fridge so she wouldn't see him blushing. "You are a patient man. Never thought that word was in your dictionary."

After Ziva and Malachi dropped Kaylee off at day care they went to a coffee shop. They sat down to talk. "So, how are we going to do this?" "Ziva, your father has sent me some information yesterday." "I hate asking my father for help." "Well, technically I'm asking him for help." She smiled. "Never even used your name." "He knows it's for me. He always knows." She sipped her coffee. "Anyway, I got a possible hide-out. He sent me some audio too. We can listen to it later." He showed his mp4-player. After walking around the park and listening to the audio they were going to the possible hide-out. Time for a stake-out, why were these things always so boring? The audio was enough to convince Gibbs, she knew it was. But she wanted to show him more than just the guy, she wanted to nail him.

Meanwhile, NCIS had gotten a case. Marine found dead in his bunk. They investigated everything, fingerprints, camera footage, everything. Eventually Ducky arrived, much too late because Palmer got lost again. When they arrived at the bunk they were still arguing over whose fault it was. After he moved the marine they were able to search his bunk and found the murder weapon. A fellow marine's prints were all over it. They checked for gunpowder residue, positive. When they brought him into NCIS he confessed in no time. Gibbs was leaning on him hard, the sooner a case was over the sooner they could go back to finding Kate's 'friend'. Kate smiled, she watched him from behind the glass. It felt familiar, being back there. Watching Gibbs break someone. He killed him over a woman, what other reason is there?

As soon as they –Tony, Kate, McGee and Gibbs- rounded the corner, they froze. They saw Ziva and Malachi waiting.
