Even though it seemed only minutes later when two ringtones could be heard echoing through the apartment, it was actually several hours. Not long enough however for either agent to appreciate the ungodly hour, Sunday morning wake up call.
"DiNozzo." Tony sat up and answered the phone groggily.
"Get your ass to the community college. Dead petty officer."
"Got it boss."
"David." Ziva sat up as Tony did.
"Hey Ziva, we're needed at the community college. Petty officer's been murdered."
"Got it McGee. I will be there as soon as I can."
"Cheers, Ziva."
"McGee?"
"Yeah."
"What is Gibbs like this morning?" The strained sigh told her everything she needed to know. "Okay, on my way." Both agents hung up their mobiles simultaneously and flipped back onto the bed.
"I got Gibbs so I guess McEasierToDealWith called you?"
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Ziva smiled.
"Not a problem, Sweet Cheeks. Guess we should get up then?" Ziva nodded and arched her back off of the bed in order to stretch it; unaware of the effect having her in that position was having on her partner.
"I am going to leap in the shower, I will not be long." She got out of bed quickly and made her way to the bathroom, she'd already closed the door before Tony's trance had broken enough for him to respond.
"'Jump' Zi. Even 'hop' is acceptable, not 'leap'." He shook his head and laughed as he reached for his jeans.
