For those of you who don't know, I live in Southern California, San Diego to be more exact. Over a year ago, a fourteen year old girl, Amber DuBois, went missing, last seen at Escondido High School. Her body was just found. About a weeks ago, the body of another girl, Chelsea King was found in Poway. Right now authorities are trying to link the two deaths, but there's nothing certain about it. I didn't personally know either of the girls, but I know someone who knew people who knew Amber, and it's really really sad. So this chapter is in loving memory of both of them, may they rest in peace.

Gibbs could have heard them from a mile away. He was sitting at a table in the cafeteria with McGee, Abby, and, of course, Jenny, when he recognized their familiar bickering from across the room.

"Tony, I swear, if you ever try to pull something like that again, I will kill you slowly and very very painfully."

"Come on Zee-vah," he whined, "it was all in good fun. Besides, they took your weapons away when you came here. What are you going to kill me with?"

Ziva spun around to face Tony, a murderous look in her eye, "Pick a pine-cone Tony, any pine-cone." Ziva's shock at the unexpected kiss had quickly resolved into anger. How could he be so stupid?

"You can kill someone with a pine-cone?" Tony asked, hoping she wasn't actually planning on hurting him, but still, mildly impressed, "You'll have to show me how to do that sometime."

"I have never actually attempted it, but I would be more than happy to use you for experimentation. This way, you can learn first hand." Ziva shot back, sitting down hard next to Abby at the table, causing the forensic scientist to shrink back slightly.

"What'd DiNozzo do this time?" Gibbs asked, feeling bad for Ziva for whatever Tony had done to get her so mad at him.

Ziva glared over at Tony as he sat down, "Nothing," she said shortly, "Besides, it was just the pain killers, otherwise he would not have done something so moronic."

"It wasn't even that bad." Tony said, now sulking in his seat and muttering something that sounded a little bit like "completely harmless".

Upon hearing this, Ziva blew up again, "How was... that, completely harmless?! Now the... they will...!" She huffed loudly, having trouble yelling at Tony without directly saying he had kissed her and blowing their secret. "You are completely insufferable. I am going for a run." And with that, she stood up, and walked out, leaving Tony staring helplessly after her, debating on wether or not he should follow. His survival instincts kicked in and he decided to stay put.

"Oh come one Ziva!" he said shouting after her, "It was just a little fun!" He fell back into his seat, pouting with his head in his hands, "I really don't understand her sometimes," he said, looking up at his fellow teammates who were, by this point, staring at him and waiting for an explanation, along with everyone sitting at the tables around them. There was a moment of awkward silence, before Tony finally asked what everyone was thinking, "What?"

"I dunno DiNozzo," Gibbs asked, annoyed by the scene Tony had made, "What?"

Tony looked at his hands shaking his head, "Nothing."

"That's what Ziva said, too."

"It's not even that big a deal."

"To you maybe."

Tony looked up at him and groaned, realized his boss was subtly ordering him to go talk to her, "Fine," he said, sounding like a four year old, then getting up from the table to find Ziva, frustrated that now he was missing lunch as well as breakfast.

Gibbs, Jenny, McGee and Abby all stared after him as he shuffled toward the door.

There was an awkward silence before McGee spoke, looking intently at the table in front of him, "Do you really think she could kill someone with a pine-cone?" he asked, obviously trying to imagine how such a simple object could be used as a lethal weapon.

After lunch, McGee and Abby hurried off together toward some unknown destination, leaving Jenny and Gibbs to walk alone together back to the cabins.

"What do you think that was about?" Jenny asked, trying to prevent any awkwardness between them.

All she got in response was a "Hmmm," an obvious sign of Gibbs' distraction.

"Okay then." Jenny said, put of by his mood.

"Did you say something?" Gibbs asked, brows furrowed, a look of deep concentration on his face. "Sorry, what were you saying?"

Jenny looked over at him in shock, "I was just wondering what has you so distracted you're apologizing."

Gibbs looked over at her, an internal debate raging in his eyes, before he spurt out, "Do you think we made any mistakes?"

"Huh?" Jenny asked, surprised by the turn in conversation, "What do you mean?"

"In Paris?"

"Oh." There was a moment of awkward silence before, "I don't regret anything if that's what your asking." She watched him for a minute trying to decipher what he was thinking before it clicked, "Tony and Ziva?" she asked, trying to keep the amusement out of her voice. He grunted in response. She grabbed his arm to stop him and forced him to look at her, "They'll be fine, Jethro."

"Relationships between coworkers never turns out well."

"Do you really think that?" she asked looking into his piercing blue eyes, "Because from what I remember, we were involved, and as far as I know, we turned out just fine."

Gibbs stared down at her for a second before turning away and continuing towards the cabins. He didn't completely approve of what was going on between Tony and Ziva, but as he thought over what Jenny had said, he could help but allow a small smile to creep onto his face. She was right, they would be just fine.

I'm sorry if the ending is a little off. I just got into a fight with my parents and they broke my thought process. Anyway, hope you liked it. I'll try to get another chapter up soon.
