Gibbs fixed an icy stare on Ziva and Tony. His blue eyes glittered with an intensity usually reserved for interrogating suspects. "Everybody out!" He roared. Ducky, Palmer and McGee nearly tripped over themselves in their haste to exit. No one wanted to get caught in the crossfire. Ziva made a move to rush past Gibbs but he caught her by the arm. "I want to talk to you in private."
"Me too boss?" Tony asked, unsure of what he wanted the answer to be.
"Just her." Gibbs replied. He held Ziva's arm so that she had no choice but to look him in the face.
Ziva matched Gibbs' stare with one of her own. Her blood-spattered face coupled with her death ray glare made her look scary. If anybody could go one on one with pissed off Gibbs and live to tell the tale it was her. Tony left.
As soon as his bedroom door clicked shut Tony pressed his ear to it. He didn't care who saw how desperate he was to hear the conversation between Ziva and Gibbs. He had to know what was going on. He could hear low urgent tones coming from the bedroom. It sounded like Ziva was doing all the talking. The bed creaked as one or both of them sat down. Then there was the russel of fabric. Then a sigh. Then silence. The silence dragged on. That was the worst part he decided. He began to imagine all possible reasons for the sounds he'd heard. She couldn't. She wouldn't. I'd know if…
He didn't have a chance to finish his thought. Without warning Ziva whipped the door open and slammed it behind her. She looked relieved. "Ducky, he wants you in there. No body else." She said as she surveyed the crowd of anxious faces.
"And?" Gibbs bellowed through the door.
"And you're supposed to check me out." She said to Palmer. The young man blanched slightly. Nervously he stepped forward to investigate.
Tony laid both hands on Palmer's shoulders and halted him in his tracks. "Not so fast Sparky. I already did that."
Gibbs yelled through the door once again proving his hearing better than his vision. "I'm certain of that Agent DiNozzo. I want some one with medical training to do it!"
Ziva pulled Tony off Palmer. "Don't worry about it. Everybody's going to get an eyeful tonight."
