I know, I know, super SHORT chapter, but NCIS SEASON 6 IS ON TUESDAY! HOLY CRAP I'M FREAKING ECSTATIC! I won't shut up about it. I was watching a football game last weekend and they showed an NCIS commercial, and I screamed so loud. My dad was like, god, it's like they changed your initials to NCIS or something. It was amazing. I screamed so hard. haha So enjoy the short chapter. SEASON 6! YES! Hopefully they'll show a flashback to Ziva and Tony's goodbye, and hopefully they will have admitted their feelings for each other while they said 'goodbye'. AHHH! I can't wait! Tiva WILL happen this season! It will! I'm having a Gibbs' gut feeling! haha Enjoy!
Tony was pacing around the bullpen, waiting impatiently for Gibbs and McGee to come back in. He had 'Sarah Taylor's' picture and 'Amy Sloane's' placed next to each other on the screen in the middle of the bullpen. How could he have not seen this before? How could he have been so stupid as to make sure that she actually was who she said she was?
The elevator dinged, and Tony snapped his head up, running over to his boss, who walked with a pace, with a meaning. He was fuming, storming as he entered the squad room, his head slightly bent, staring down at the ground, his eyes full of hatred.
"Boss!" Tony cried, relieved as he ran over to the monitor, grabbing the remote off of the floor and pointing it at the picture, "Look!" Gibbs didn't say anything, and Tony turned around to see where he was.
He was staring at the floor, and it was only then that the senior field agent remembered the fight he had with himself, "DiNozzo! What the hell happened here?" He asked, throwing his arms up in the air and slapping them back down to his sides.
"Got into a little fight, boss."
"With who?" He demanded, obviously furious at DiNozzo for getting into a fight, at DiNozzo for letting the guy into the building in the middle of the night, and at DiNozzo, who didn't clean up his mess.
So he was mad at DiNozzo, and Tony knew that. He sighed and decided to admit the truth.
"Myself." He mumbled, and then he winced a couple of seconds before he felt a swift slap against the back of his head, "Thanks, Boss. Needed that."
"Not a problem. So this is the dirt bag?" He asked, pointing to the woman on the screen.
"Yeah, that's her boss. Apparently forged her birth certificate to get a drivers license licensed out to Sarah Taylor in an attempt to escape the law. But, Amy Sloane is on the FBI's most wanted list. Looks like if we catch this chick, Fornell'll be happy." Tony smiled, and Gibbs just glared at him.
"Did you track her? Where is she now?"
"No, I didn't track her. Can't…"
"Why not?" Gibbs demanded, almost yelling at his field agent.
"You see, boss, I can't actually run the software. Probie can though, I'm sure McLate is here somewhere." He started, but ended up trailing off as his eyes caught Ziva's desk.
He sighed and stared at the dark desk. It was almost like Kate; but Ziva wasn't dead, which was letting Tony's heart breathe a little.
"It'll be okay, DiNozzo. She's innocent. You proved it. Ziva was framed."
"No, Boss, she wasn't framed." Tony shook his head and Gibbs raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, yeah, DiNozzo?"
"Yeah, boss, she just happened to be drunk in the wrong place at the wrong time. She stabbed him, I have evidential proof of that, boss, at my apartment."
"So you're saying that Ziva, your partner, killed a man without my permission?" Gibbs asked, taking a step towards him. Tony turned to stare at him. He looked him straight in the eye, dead on in his blue ones.
"No, boss, without mine."
"You're saying that Officer David is a murderer, DiNozzo?"
"Never. I need another look at that autopsy."
"You've seen the autopsy, DiNozzo, Ducky analyzed the body, it was a single stab to the heart, cut off circulation and stopped the blood flow. Not that difficult, Tony."
"But what if Ziva's stab wasn't fatal, boss?"
"How could a stab to the heart notbe fatal DiNozzo?"
Tony took a step closer to him, staring him straight in the eye, "What if Ziva stabbed him the second after Sarah shot him?"
"Duck didn't find any bullets," Gibbs countered.
"No, Gibbs." He was taken aback by that statement, "He never searched for one."
