Ziva sat in the back of Ducky's truck, wincing as he cleaned the cut on her neck. "Sorry my dear," Ducky said sympathetically.

She looked over at Gibbs and Tony. Tony was pacing up and down and Gibbs was trying to talk to him. She watched Gibbs slap Tony. She would have laughed if the situation wasn't so serious.

Gibbs began to walk over and she stood hastily.

"Gibbs.." she began. "I had no choice. If I had waited for back up he would have-"

He interrupted her. "Save it David. It's not me you have to explain yourself to." He looked over to where Tony was standing, his face like thunder.

She sighed defeated. "Ok." She said sitting back down so Ducky could carry on giving her the medical attention she needed.

"Oh and Ziva?"

She looked up.

He smirked. "Good job."


"So how is she McGee?" Tony said in a hushed tone perched on the end of McGee's desk.

McGee rolled his eyes. He was fed up of the two. Why couldn't they just make up again? He would rather have them tease him than not talk to each other and be so serious. "She's fine." He mock whispered back.

"Define fine. What kind of fine? Fine fine? Like normal fine? Or fine as in "I'm-not-really-fine-I'm-saying-I'm-fine-so-you-leave-me-alone" fine! "

McGee sighed. "Why don't you ask her yourself?"

Tony jumped a little as he heard Ziva from her desk. "Yes, Tony. Why don't you?"

He turned around in record time and thought of a smart comeback but stopped as Gibbs walked into the bullpen.

Gibbs eyed his agents warily; McGee who looked at him with puppy eyes expectantly. Tony who was staring at Ziva, a mixture of worry and anger on his face. And then Ziva, her poker face on again.

"Go home." He said with a sigh. Then turned to Ziva. "Rest."

Tony laughed bitterly, whilst collecting his belongings. Ziva narrowed her eyes at him and was the first to leave after Gibbs walked off.

"Goodbye McGee." She said. "Bye Ziva." He replied. She said nothing to Tony and walked straight to the elevator.

"Bye to you too Ziva." He muttered bitterly.
