Tony's phone began to ring in the early hours of the next morning as he felt Ziva stir next to him. He didn't even register that he had to answer it to stop it ringing as he was still waking up.

"Answer your stupid phone…" Ziva mumbled as she rolled over and hit him lightly with the back of her hand. He groaned before leaning over and grabbing it off the bedside table and sitting up groggily.

"Yep" he slurred into the receiver as her rubbed his eyes. "Oh, ok… yes I will tell her. Yes, I will see you soon director." Her ears pricked up as soon as she heard "director" and Tony hung up the phone.

"We need to get up, the director wants us in his office in half an hour"

"What is this about?"

"He didn't say…" This automatically got her worried as she sat up running a hand through her unruly hair. What could possibly have the director calling after her and Tony at 0600. Tony saw the expression on her face as she tried to think what it could possibly be about, only coming up with bad situations. "Zi, it's going to be ok, I'm sure it's nothing too major" He leant over and gave her a kiss on the cheek before jumping out of bed and walking over to the wardrobe. She looked at his bare chest as he stood there in only a pair of grey slacks and she zoned out; they had not yet slept together because they did not want to screw up their relationship, not after everything that has happened. She was happy with that at the moment, just having his company was all she needed and that made her feel that little bit better about this morning's upcoming event, at least Tony would be with her. They were both ready and in the car within 15 minutes as they nervously drove towards the NCIS building awaiting their fate.

"The director will see you now." Tony squeezed Ziva's hand before they both stood up and walked towards Vance's office door not knowing at all what to expect when they opened it. She reached out and grabbed the handle hesitating before finally turning it and walking inside with Tony close behind. What she saw was the last thing she expecting and anger had already begun to build up inside as she saw the man across the room. He smiled as if nothing had happened and that everything was peachy between them, which it was most definitely not. Here, standing with arms spread wide and happy smile on his face was her father, if she could even call him that, Eli David.

"Ziva, how are you?"

"What are you doing here?" Was all she could spit out at him and his expression faltered a bit at the iciness of her tone. Tony stood behind her and could see her tense; he knew this would not end well. What he didn't understand was why he had been called in too, it was Ziva's father not his.

"I came to see my daughter, to see how you have recovered."

"Did you not listen to me last time; I do not want to see you!" Vance looked confused as if he had missed something, he was expecting a happy family reunion, (well as happy as it could be for the dysfunctional family) but what he was seeing was pure hate on Ziva's part and it had seemed he had missed an earlier conversation. Eli's act quickly disappeared as it was replaced with annoyance.

"Ziva, why do you have to be so difficult towards your father?"

"You are not my father…"

"Yes I am! Stop saying things like that! You are my daughter and you are going to listen to me…" She became furious and the room started again spinning like it had in the hospital, not again. "Director Vance I have come to take my daughter home." Now Vance was in complete shock, he had no idea this was coming, he thought it was just to check-up on her wellbeing.

"I'm sorry, what?" was all the Director of NCIS could get out, he was in complete shock.

"I am not going home, infact this is my home, I am at home! This is my family!" She grabbed for Tony behind her mainly for support as the room continued to spin as her vision worsened. He walked up to her and grabbed a hold of her hand. He was almost as angry as she was with Eli, infact he wanted to walk right over and give him a left hook but decided to stay controlled for Ziva's sake; as well as the fact the director was still in the room with them. Vance saw the situation and thought it best to leave as he walked over to the door.

"I will let you guys sort this out in private." Was all he said before walking out of the room closing the door behind him. What happened next was completely unexpected, Eli now turned on Tony.

"You!" He was furiously jabbing a finger towards Tony as he walked towards him. Ziva stood in the way pushing him back to the other side of the room again.

"You leave Tony out of this! This is between you and me!"

"You're sleeping with him aren't you?" This stopped Ziva as she just stood there looking at her father.

"No, what would even make you say that!"

"You have been going out with him Ziva, you went out for Dinner last night, and you kissed him!"

"You had me followed!" This pushed her over the edge, she could not take it anymore. "Why can you not just leave me alone! You did when I was stuck in Somalia for 3 months! I had every means of torture done to me, I was… I almost died!" Tony cringed as he thought about what she was going to say, he watched as she let it all out, what her dreams must have been about, what she swore she would never talk about. He watched as the tears streamed down her cheeks, every time she said she was fine she was lying. He could see how much she still carried with her everyday and maybe for the rest of her life. His heart felt like it was on fire and he could barely stand to see her in so much pain, but he knew she had to let it out. "You are dead to me Eli! I never want to see you in my life, I do not want to ever hear a word breathed of you, you do not exist to me!" She walked over to were Tony stood and crashed into him, against his chest as she sobbed. His eyes stayed on Eli as both of their eyes met, both filled with rage and hatred, both looking for a fight.

"Ziva, you are my daughter and you have no choice, you are coming home with me now to your country." Tony only just realised an important detail that she had forgotten to mention. She never told Eli that she was an American citizen, that she was a true NCIS agent, no longer still part of Mossad. Tony felt her nails dig into him as he looked down to see her grabbing his shirt into her fists trying to not lose control. He had never seen her so angry in his life and it frightened him to see what might come.

"I am an American citizen, you cannot take me anywhere!" It was apparent that Eli had not known of this and now they had both been pushed over the edge, they were all infuriated. Eli paced forward and ripped Ziva out of Tony's arms holding her by both wrists in front of him.

"You are telling me, that you went behind my back and are now an American citizen!"

"Behind your back? You had no right to know!" Eli slapped her hard across the face and threw her onto the ground. She laid there sobbing and not moving, she was too broken to fight back, she had lost all control, she had been pushed too far, and so had Tony. He walked up and punched Eli hard in the face; he could feel his nose break beneath his fist as he yelled in agony. Tony then ran to where Ziva was on the floor barely conscious. Her face had turned a scary shade of purple and was already starting to swell; he had hit her incredibly hard. Tony pulled her into his arms and looked back up to where Eli stood, blood running down his face. Vance opened the door and rushed in after hearing the yelling and saw the scene, he felt stupid for leaving, what did he expect to happen? Security guards flooded in with Gibbs and took Eli away yelling and fighting but Tony didn't notice as Ziva sobbed in his arms.
