I am really really sorry for the long update period. Mum banned me from fanfiction for a bit....and I have had a really bad bout of writers block. Hopefully this chapter will make up for it!

Chp 10: Interrogation

Gibbs stood there, motionless. DiNozzo had just ran out without a word. Ziva definitely was involved in tis…and the two had probably run off to meet each other again. Gibbs snapped back to reality and raced to the elevator. It dinged open and he rushed into the room.

"MCGEE!" The sight that befell him was shocking. McGee was speaking to Abby…about….

"Er...hi boss!" McGee smiled sheepishly.

"McGee! What the hell….who the hell are you talking to?" Gibbs wanted to scream. He knew the answer before McGee even said it.

"Abby. Eer….boss…umm…I think Abby had a right to know about what's going on," he stuttered.

"McGee! Anyway, we have to go play spy now," Gibbs smiled wryly.

"Spy? On whom?" McGee looked bewildered.

"DiNozzo and David of course, Elf Lord. Track their phones or whatever you do…" Gibbs waved his hands around. McGee rushed to the computer and typed rapidly.

"Pulling up their cell-phones….got it! They are…at the mall, on the third level. I think it's a sushi bar?" McGee turned to Gibbs, waiting.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Come on!" The two agents rushed out of the door.

Ziva laughed as Tony stuffed half of a huge sushi roll into his mouth. He resembled a puffer fish. She lifted up a hand and poked his bulging cheeks, causing Tony to choke painfully.

"Be polite Tony," she mocked, "I don't want you to choke to death." Tony coughed once more causing Ziva to slap his back rather hardly. Tony shot Ziva a look.

"What, I was only helping," Ziva raised her hands. Tony picked up a sushi piece and popped it into Ziva's mouth. She closed her eyes in contentment, causing Tony to smile widely.

"Do you think Gibbs will suspect something?" Ziva asked.

"Maybe, but we'll get away from him. Just enjoy the sushi," Tony wrapped an arm around Ziva.

"Isn't it amusing? We come here to investigate a case, and yet we have literally gotten nowhere," Ziva chuckled, "I feel sort of bad." She plopped the last sushi piece into her mouth, and then got out of the chair.

"Coming, Tony?" she asked. Tony paid the bill and the two walked out smiling…only to bump into….

"Gibbs!" Tony and Ziva jumped apart, their smiles wiped off their faces. Gibbs was in a very foul mood by now. He had seen and heard enough to confirm the truth.

"DiNozzo, David, tell me we are not here to enjoy ourselves. We were sent here to investigate the death of a sailor, not to make up," Gibbs growled. Tony and Ziva glanced at one another.

"Who said we were making up, boss?" Tony asked innocently.

"DiNozzo….." Gibbs' voice turned into a whisper, but was clearly heard by Tony and Ziva, "You two explain yourselves when we get back to the hotel, then we work on the case. Got it?" Gibbs stormed back to the car, leaving Tony, Ziva and McGee rooted to the spot. Well, in actual fact, McGee was texting Abby, but froze at the looks on Tony and Ziva's faces.

"McGee, if you send one more message…." McGee ran off before the two completed their threat.

Tony and Ziva paced about in the room. It was almost like they were criminals, ready to be interrogated. They had a few minutes to get their story right.

"What do we tell him, Tony?" Ziva sighed, "I mean…."

"Well, I think he already knows that we are together….so we tell him the truth," Tony sat down on the floor, head between his knees. Ziva whipped around.

"What? You can't be serious. We can not tell him!" Ziva waved her hands around, "It would ruin…it would ruin E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.!" She sat down beside him.

"We could tell him…" DiNozzo was cut off by the dreaded opening of the door. The two sprang apart, Ziva standing at one end of the room, Tony standing at the other end. Gibbs glanced around, secretly amused. Tony and Ziva immediately started talking.

"Boss….so sorry about today, I just wanted to see their mall because it was absolutely so cool and it had the best cinema…."

"Gibbs, I know about apologies but I am really sorry that I ran off without telling you but I just wanted to inspect my surroundings and…."

"SHUT UP!" Gibbs yelled. The two fell silent.

"Sit down," Gibbs pointed to the two chairs, next to each other in the middle of the room. Reluctantly, the two sat down next to one another. Tony resisted the urge to wrap his arm around Ziva.

"Tell me about the school you two both went to," Gibbs calmly stated. Ziva and Tony put on fake confused faces.

"I don't know what you are talking about boss,…"

"I went to school in Israel Gibbs, I never met Tony…"

"ONE AT A TIME!" Gibbs cried. Ziva motioned for Tony to go first, while Tony motioned for Ziva to go first.

"Why do I always have to go first?" Tony whined.

"Because you just do," Ziva crossed her arms.

"Its nice to try something new Zee-vah, so why don't you go first?" The two began to argue quietly.

"You first."

"No, you."

"You."

"You."

"This is just like the time Mr Vader asked us…."Tony suddenly shut his mouth. He had blown their cover. Gibbs smiled mentally.

"So you two did go to school together, huh?" Gibbs leant in close to the two culprit's faces, "You went to school at Bournemouth college, where the two of you fell in love, and inadvertently broke Rule 12." Tony had a guilty look, while Ziva closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Is that true?" Gibbs asked.

"Yes," Tony sighed.

"No," Ziva shook her head.

"Ziva….don't lie to me," Gibbs growled. Ziva looked alarmed, then finally managed to answer 'yes.'

"And you two never told me?" Gibbs raised an eyebrow.

"I…I never realised Ziva was Allie until we got here," Tony confessed. Ziva nodded in agreement.

"So you decided to continue your summer romance today," Gibbs supplied. Ziva and Tony winced at his words.

"Something like that Gibbs," Tony muttered. Ziva clammed up.

"That's all I need to know, you may go now," Gibbs unexpectedly announced. The two looked relieved and immediately bolted to the door, until Gibbs shouted, "Wait!" The two whipped around.

"Ziva, I think you should change into more appropriate clothing," Gibbs commented dryly. Ziva looked down to see herself still in the singlet top and skirt.

"Oh," was all she managed to say before running off, extremely embarrassed.

The updates might come a bit infrequently because I really need to rethink the plot of this story...and make Allie/Ziva sound less corny cause hey, I love Ziva because off her kick-ass attitude. So sorry in advance if it takes a bit long to update....

Reviews are always very welcome (hint, hint)
