Tony sat at the dining table staring at Ziva, he was having trouble processing everything at once. Ziva was here, and she was in trouble, but he was in trouble also and he hadn't even known it. Tony wondered if he shouldn't have called Gibbs immediately, their fearless leader would have known what to do, but Ziva had been insistent that, for now at least, he wasn't to be told.
Ziva looked up from her plate and noticed Tony's eyes hadn't moved
"Tony" She said loud enough to snap him out of his thoughts. "Stop it"
Tony blinked,
"What?" He said with no real conviction
"Stop staring, it's creeping me out" Ziva said frowning at him
"Sorry" Tony replied, "There are too many thoughts going through my head right now"
Ziva got up and walked over to Tony and placed her hands on his heads and massaged gently
"Do you have a bit of brain stain going on?" She asked before placing a kiss on his cheek and walking towards the kitchen.
Tony rolled his eyes "Its drain Zeeva" he said over pronouncing her name "although my brain is probably stained as well. But that's not the point right now" he said lightly before following her into the kitchen. Ziva looked at him with confusion. Tony laughed
"Missed that face Ziva, I never get tired of your own take on those sayings, they always put a smile on my face" he said forcing the biggest grin he could, and pointing to it at the same time.
Ziva laughed at him, and shook her head
"Fool" she said before turning back to what she was doing.
"Ziva" Tony said after a moment of silence, "What are we going to do?"
Ziva looked at him but did not speak
"I mean, I get the problem, I really do, but where do we start?" Tony continued
Ziva smiled at him
"Where we usually do Tony." She answered simply "At the start"
Tony looked confused, but Ziva continued
"You still have remote access to the NCIS databases and server, right" She said
Tony nodded
"Right" he said and jumped up to grab his laptop
Ziva followed him into the lounge room and the two of them took a seat.
Tony had the laptop open, but paused
"Ziva" he said, "What am I looking for"
"Well Tony" she said "I thought we could start with hospital records in Tel Aviv, see if you can find anything under my mother's name, I'm not sure how old her son would be but I guess we can figure it out, I know mine, Ari's and Tali's birthdays"
Tony nodded and got to work.
Later that afternoon, Tony stood staring out the window, he was in deep thought about what Ziva had just told him, he didn't know what to do or where to start. It wasn't safe for them to leave the house but he wasn't sure if staying was any better. Tony turned back to watch Ziva sleeping, he's heart ached as he did. How could he keep her safe when they didn't know where the danger was, or when it would show itself? How would they find out who Ziva's brother was without help. He had spent hours searching through those records but found no results that matched. Tony suspected that Ziva's mother has used another name but it was impossible to search through millions of records without a date to go by.
Tony knew what he had been to done, whether Ziva liked it or not, they couldn't face this alone. Tony watched Ziva sleeping for a moment, no a hundred percent certain of what he was about to do.
Tony walked out of the room and picked up his phone "Boss" he said once he heard someone answer on the other end.
