(this is after Ziva gets back from Somalia- it's some time in season 7.. :D)
Chapter one:
Tony was just about to punch in the last number of Ziva's phone number when the elevator doors opened with a bing. "DINOZZO!" Tony looked up from his desk to see Leroy Jethro Gibbs stepping out of the elevator holding his usual coffee in one hand and his not-so-usual cell phone in the other. "Yeah boss?" "Have you gotten hold of her yet?" Tony looked across to McGee who had momentarily stopped typing and exchanged a worried look. "Umm. No she isn't answering… Boss, McGee and I think there might be something wrong." "Why?" Gibbs said stopping in front of Tony's desk. "Well, she always answers her phone, like always. Abby has tried her, McGee has, even the director has, she wont answer anyone" "Is her phone off?" "No it's ringing…we've tried her home number as well." "Is she at a friend's?" "No, she was meant to come out with us last night but she didn't show up and she didn't call either" Gibbs walked over to his desk and sat down "What about a boyfriend? Could she have gone out with him and just forgotten to call?" McGee looked over to Gibbs "No boss, she doesn't have a boyfriend" Tony looked over to McGee stunned, McGee shrugged.
Gibbs looked around him, then over to Ziva's desk. Gibbs got up and walked over to it, he bent down and opened a draw. Seeing nothing of interest he shut it again. Suddenly Gibbs looked up to MTAC where he saw the Director standing, watching them, Vance signalled for Gibbs to come up. "Keep trying her, I'm going to talk to Vance" Gibbs walked up to Vance. Once Gibbs had left Tony turned to McGee with a shocked expression "How do you know that she is single?" "She told me." "She told you?! Why wouldn't she tell me?" "Maybe because she didn't want the whole world to know" "As if I would tell anyone" "As if you wouldn't" "Ahh, keep doing your computering thingy" "If it means you'll shut up then gladly" McGee turned back to his computer and started typing again. Tony looked at Ziva's desk thinking how quiet the squad room was without her.
Gibbs standing with Vance looked down at Tony and McGee as they went back to work. "Have you found anything?" "Not yet, we are still looking" Gibbs replied while taking a sip of his coffee. "I'm sure she will be fine Gibbs. She is more than capable in looking after her self." Gibbs sighed "I know, but she hasn't been the same since she got back, I don't think she can take it again"
Please R&R!! Thanks for reading :D
