Tony sat there staring at the screen and swallowed loudly before looking at Ziva. Her solemn expression showed that their private life was about to be invaded by their co-workers and there was nothing they could do to stop it.

"Elevator" Tony mumbled before making his way to the boss' office. Ziva closed the e-mail before following her partner; McGee watched the partners disappear through the elevator doors.

"Okay…what the hell do we do?" Tony asked.

"Investigate" Ziva said, Tony laughed sarcastically.

"You wanna show that to Abby, McGoo not to mention Gibbs and the director"

"We have no choice Tony" Ziva said through clenched teeth. Tony sighed.

"Any idea who it could be?" Tony asked, now Ziva was the one to laugh.

"I am Mossad, I have a lot of enemies…I cannot specify" Tony realised the worried expression on her face.

"Hey…for all you know, I could be the target" Ziva smiled.

"Is that why it said 'I have been watching you Ziva David'" He had no answer to that and then he grinned.

"You looked like you were enjoying yourself" he said smirking; trying to lighten the mood. He noted the blush creep her face, smiling he brought the elevator back to life. He put his hands on her shoulder and massaged it lightly. "It'll be fine Ziva" Ziva sighed and leaned back into his shoulder.

They exited the elevator at Abby's lab floor. They exchanged a look and nod before entering the lab.

"Hey Abs"

"Hey guys…McGee told me they caught you guys making out last week. Is it true?" she asked grinning, Tony nodded. "Yay…Finally. Rina's effort didn't go unnoticed" she said before hugging the two. "What can I, Abby Scuito, do for you beautiful people today?"

"We need you to trace an e-mail for us Abby?" Ziva said to which Abby furrowed her eyebrows to in confusion.

"I didn't know you guys had a case" Abby said.

Tony smiled "Well no…but we are about to get one Abs".

"Okay…can I see the E-mail?" Ziva sighed.

"Of course Abby" Ziva accessed her e-mail and opened up the e-mail. Abby's gasped.

"Oh my god" Abby mumbled.

"Oh my god indeed…someone has been watching us. Could you…erm…trace the e-mail?"

"Erm…yeah sure, of course" she looked at Tony, who was suddenly finding a pair of gloves very interesting. They were about to leave, when Abby called Ziva again "You have another E-mail from the same sender"

"Open it Abby" Ziva said moving closer to Abby's computer screen. This time the image was of Rina. It was in a sunny park where children were playing; amongst the people was Rina with her friends laughing at something one of her friends was doing. Below the image was the caption 'I am sure you do not want to lose her'. Abby's intake of breath caught Tony's attention.

"Oh no…" Ziva said

"What is it?" he asked as he moved forward to look at the E-mail. Tony closed his eyes and tilted his head back and sighed. Ziva turned to look at him, tears forming at the edge of her eyes. Tony took her into his arms and held her close. "Call us as soon as you get a trace Abs."

"Do you want me to let the others in on it?" Tony sighed and nodded before walking out, with Ziva in his arms.

20 minutes later Tony stood in MTAC, waiting for Eli David. Ziva was sitting down and staring at the screen. The rainbow screen turned to Director David's Office.

"What can I do for you agent Dinozzo?"

"We need you to send Rina here, with protection" Tony said.

"Something I should know?"

"Ziva received an e-mail today, threatening Rina's life. You need to do it quickly Director David"

"I will escort her today, agent Dinozzo. Where is my daughter?" Director David asked.

"I am here Papa" she said getting out of her seat, moving beside Tony and taking his hand. This didn't go unnoticed by Eli "Bring her to me soon Papa" she said. Eli nodded before the screen was back to its original state; rainbow lines.

Gibbs entered the MTAC with a solemn expression. "Were you going to tell me Dinozzo?"

"Tell you what Gibbs?" he said, his anger becoming evident in his voice "That someone is watching us make love because, you know…that's not embarrassing or anything. Tell you that someone is watching her daughter and threatening her life. Yeah I should have come to you first thing shouldn't I…cos you are a miracle worker…sort everything out, right?" Ziva was silent.

"Dinozzo, you don't break the chain of commands…YOU COME to ME and I WILL give YOU the lead…because I know you are capable of doing it; even if it's personal" Gibbs said. Tony was about to respond when his phone rang.

"Hey Abs…yeah…we'll be right down" Tony said before hanging up "Abby's got a trace…but I have a feeling you already knew that"

"Tony we do NOT have time for this bullshit" Ziva said as she walked out of MTAC.

"Okay…I don't know who it is exactly. The account was opened under the name Levy Vygotsky; it was opened exactly two weeks ago at noon." She said as she typed a few keys on the keyboard. McGee picked up form where she left off.

"Each computer has its own key; it's like a fingerprint, it's unique. We traced it to a computer in a local Internet café here in Washington. If we get the CCTV footage, we can look at the time stamp and see who accessed the computer two weeks ago at noon." The agents listened intently and nodded.

"McGee, you're with me. Dinozzo, David stay here and tell me when that picture was taken"

"Gibbs C'mon…"

"Dinozzo, if you haven't realised; McGee's the geek. You've got a stalker on your back. Stay here and tell me when and WHERE that damn picture was taken." Tony sighed and looked at Ziva who had a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Fine" with that the other two agents left.

"Erm…guys when was this…erm…picture taken?" Abby asked; this was really uncomfortable for her. They were her co-workers and friends, but that didn't mean she needed to see things like this.

Tony and Ziva looked at the picture; they had been in this position many times. It was hard to specify time, date and whereabouts. Tony realised that Ziva was smiling at the image; it was a smile of memory.

"Reliving the moment Zee-Vah?" Tony whispered in her ears.

"It was a week before Rina left, it was at your place." she said a little louder than Tony.

"I know…I remember it very, very well" He said grinning, they were lost in each other's eyes that for a moment they had forgotten that theirs, her or Rina's life was in danger.

"Ahem" Abby's blatant cough brought them back to reality.

"Sorry Abs…you wanna tell her Ziva" Ziva shook her head "Right…it was erm a week before Rina left and erm it was…at my place" Tony said avoiding Abby's eyes at all costs.

"Okay…so he's been watching you for…four weeks, a month" Abby said.

"Ooh…" Tony said "That's a lot of pictures" he looked worriedly at Ziva, whose look said 'shut up or I'll kill you myself' "He must've been watching Rina shorter then…2 maybe 3 weeks"

"Or he has been watching her, whilst he was watching us…not at the same time. Unless there is more than one person" Ziva said

"Oh happy days" Tony said sarcastically

"NCIS Special Agents Gibbs and McGee" Gibbs said showing his badge.

"Josh Barker, How can I help you feds?" asked the man behind the counter. He looked like he was in his early twenties and had blonde hair. Gibbs had a feeling he wasn't going to like this guy.

"We need your surveillance footage from two weeks ago" McGee said.

"Erm…any one here do anything wrong?" Josh asked.

"Just give us the tapes" Gibbs said clearly annoyed.

"I'm gonna have to consult with my boss you know…?" Josh said shaking his head. Gibbs knew he wasn't going to like him.

"Let me rephrase that…" Gibbs said giving Josh the icy blue stare "You are interfering with a federal investigation, that's a felony. If you don't want a permanent spot on your damn record you better give me those tapes" he hated it when people messed with him.

"Erm…sure…yeah no problem" Josh stuttered before going to retrieve the tapes.

"Gibbs…I can try and get something from the computer he used" McGee said to his boss

"Do it" Gibbs said as Josh returned with the tapes.

"No hard feelings fed?" Josh said handing the agent the tapes, Gibbs just looked at him before going to find McGee.

Tony and Ziva sat the airport waiting to retrieve her daughter and father. Ziva was lost in her thoughts. She was Mossad; she had gained a lot of enemies over the past couple of years. She was now putting the man she loved and her daughter in danger. Tony looked at Ziva and said what he had been waiting to say since they had gotten the e-mail earlier that morning.

"You were right Ziva" Tony said softly and she looked at him with her eyebrows furrowed.

"What was I right about?"

"The fact that someone was watching us, I should have…"

"This is not your fault Tony, I am the one who attracts enemies" Ziva interrupted, Tony gave a sarcastic laugh.

"And I don't?" Ziva looked at him dryly. She saw two figures approach them quickly; she turned to see her father and Rina; who was practically running towards her. Ziva stood up and was attached by a hug.

"Ima, I missed you so much." She said letting her go "What is going on? I was in school and suddenly Saba comes to pick me up saying that we had to go to America at once."

"I missed you too. I will explain everything to you later" Ziva said cradling her daughters hand in her face and planting a kiss on her forehead.

She noted Tony, and hugged him close too. "I'm so glad to see you" Rina said

"You have no idea Rina" he said as she let go, "Director David" he shook his hand. Eli moved towards his daughter and hugged her.

"Are we going to your apartment?" Ziva shook her head as she moved out of his embrace.

"Too unsafe…for all we know he could be watching us right now. We have four NCIS agents assigned for our protection, which I think is unnecessary and useless if he is watching us. We are going to a NCIS safe house…I do not understand how that is safe" Eli nodded.

"Your officers will arrive tomorrow, for yours, agent Dinozzo's and Rina's protection" he said smiling.

"Papa, I do not need protection. You know…"

"Director Vance and I have agreed on joint investigation" Eli interrupted.

"You do not investigate" Ziva said accusingly.

"I will make an exception this time" Tony and Rina were engaged in their own conversation, laughing occasionally. Ziva looked at them and back at her father.

"Fine, but I will be the one controlling MY officers." Eli Nodded. "Tony, Rina, you can continue your conversation at the safe house" Tony and Rina smiled and followed her, Ziva leading the way. Her walk showed her anger, making her butt sway a little more than usual; Tony stared at it which earned him a slap to the chest.

"Stop staring at Ima's butt" Rina said walking beside Tony.

"Oh…it's so good to have you back." He said as he gave her a side hug, Rina laughed.

McGee's typing echoed in the empty bullpen. He was going through the tapes from the internet café. He was on the final tape and bull's eye, he thought as a Middle Eastern looking man walked in and sat on the computer that they had traced the e-mail from. Thinking of the e-mail, the image popped into his head, he shuddered and shut the image out of his mind. He did not want to be thinking about that, especially when he had caught them making out. Concentrate Tim he said to himself.

After getting his mind on track, he called Gibbs and explained to him that he had gotten the real identity of the e-mail sender. He gave him the details, Gibbs had praised him and told him to go home and get some rest. They were going to have a tiring day tomorrow.

The four agents were situated around the safe house, two at the back entrance and two at the front entrance. Rina and Eli were in the kitchen drinking tea; Tony and Ziva were in the living room being alert. Ziva hadn't touched Tony since holding his hand in MTAC, there was at least the holding hands and small gestures that made them a couple. But now he felt like he was just her partner and nothing more.

Ziva sat on the couch cleaning her gun; something she did to relax her mind. Tony watched her carefully and made his way towards the sofa and sat next to her. He leaned into kiss her; to check what her response was. Just like he had imagined, she moved away.

"Ziva…"

"I am sorry Tony. He could be watching, I just…I do not like my private life…"

"Oh…I understand" he said before moving away and walking into the kitchen. She sighed and followed him with her eyes as he disappeared into the kitchen.

"Hello Tony, are you okay?" Rina said looking at Tony's face.

"Yeah I'm good" Tony said taking his seat in front of Rina.

"Would you like some tea agent Dinozzo?" Eli offered.

"No, I'm a coffee kinda guy. Please call me Tony; I'm dating your daughter after all"

"Noted, and you may call me Eli. I am bound to become your father-in-law, Am I wrong?" Eli asked the senior agent. Tony laughed.

"No you are not wrong" Tony said as his laughter died down gradually. "I'm gonna go and get some coffee from the local café…you guys want anything?" They shook their heads. He walked out the kitchen and into the living room.

"I'm going for coffee" Tony said making his way to the front door. Ziva caught up to him and looked at him like he was crazy. "What?"

"I do not think that's a good idea" she said.

"I'll be fine" he said staring her down.

"Do not go alone Tony. I will…"

"I'll take an agent" he said dryly before opening the door and leaving.

"Sure" Ziva said sarcastically, to the wall. Suddenly Ziva's phone rang, she answered quite harshly. "David"

"Did Tony piss you off Ziva?" Gibbs asked.

"It does not matter. What have you got Gibbs?" Ziva asked taking a seat on the couch.

"We got an ID on the sender, his real ID. Name's Caleb Abran, arrived in Washington 3 weeks ago. He's a bounty hunter in Cairo" Ziva's whole world stopped. He was supposed to be dead. Her life was about to change for the worst. "Ziva are you there?"

"Yes Gibbs, but I am not so sure I'll be here for long" Ziva said before hanging up.

Tony strolled through the streets coffee in hand. He was suppose to come with an agent, but he hadn't because he wanted sometime alone. This guy, whoever he was; was messing with his relationship. He understood Ziva's reason, but it was still taking a toll on things. He was suddenly sensing a presence behind him, as a moonlit silhouette crossed his path, he turned to see who it was and all he saw was darkness.

Well…you know what I'm going to say
