Chapter One: When Tony Met Tia…
Anthony DiNozzo was bored. He was sitting in a bar filled with beautiful women and he had never been so bored in his life. Even one of Ducky's ramblings was more exciting that Tony's existence right now. He was bored with his life. Tired of doing the same thing, day in, day out. Tired of dating the same type of women, the hot, sexy bimbo types. He would never admit it aloud, especially not at work, but deep down he wished he could meet a woman who was beautiful as well as smart, who could look after herself yet still needed him. A woman who didn't care how the world saw her, who would actually eat on a date instead of just poking her food and whining about how fat she thought she was. Tony sighed, and reached for his beer, dejected.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a delicate blonde slide her way through the crush of people to the bar, before standing right next to him. 'I'm hallucinating' he thought to himself as he watched her in the mirror facing the bar. She was every guy's dream from head to toe: slim, athletic figure decked out in soft black pants, a red tank top and black boots, honey blonde shoulder length hair, soft pouty lips and eyes the colour of midnight blue sky.
Tony watched the pretty girl as she paid for her beer and wandered over to the pool tables where a bunch of testosterone charged musclebound bikers were trying to hustle one another. He lost sight of her as he finished his beer and made his way out of the bar, expecting his night to end up exactly as every other night has lately: asleep in front of the TV.
Tony made his way to his car when he noticed the pretty girl from the bar in a nearby alley, two of the bikers advancing on her. Without thinking he headed for the girl, intending to help when he stopped, dumbfounded. Without warning she lashed out at the closest of her would be attackers, kneeing him in the groin and then when he fell to the ground on his knees she brought her knee up to connect with his nose with a satisfying crunch. As he lay on the ground moaning, she advanced on the second man before pivoting and delivering a powerful roundhouse kick to the head before ducking and knocking his feet out from under him, sweeping him to the ground. Before either of the men had a chance to retaliate, she brought their hands behind their backs and snapped handcuffs onto their wrists.
Tony stood in the mouth of the alley, stunned. The girl looked up and saw him standing there and smiled "Hi" she said as Tony felt his heart thud to his feet "I'm Tiana" she introduced herself as she dragged one of the men to his feet "T-Tony" Tony replied, trying not to swallow his tongue "Need a hand?" Tony asked as she tried to haul the second guy to his feet "Yeah that's be great. I didn't expect to find them both here tonight so I was just going to wing it" she answered as Tony walked over and pulled the guy to his feet, trying to avoid the blood dripping from his broken nose "Are you a cop?" Tony asked as he followed her out of the alley and was surprised when she laughed "No way, blue is not my colour. I'm bond enforcement, which is kinda like being a cop, but the pay is better" she replied as she led the way to a red ford Taurus and unlocked the back door before shoving the men roughly into the backseat and slamming the door with her hip "Wanna come along for the ride?" Tiana asked and watched surprise wash over Tony's face for a minute before he nodded "Cool you can drive then" she responded as she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding and tossed him the keys.
