The last chapter! Please review :)

And I still don't own NCIS

The building looked like it had been built in the old DDR, so he didn't blame the company for moving to something new. It didn't look like someone was in there, the building was completely dark. A red Mini Cooper wasn't parked outside, but who was he kidding? This was his ninja we were talking about; of course you wouldn't be able to see if she was there. Though he knew she was.

Even though it "just" was Ziva he still grabbed his gun and went inside to search the building. Down a long hall he saw some light through some blinds, this must be here and he actually felt relieved. He knocked on the door because the last thing he wanted was a gun pointed to his head. He could feel the irony when the door opened and Ziva stood and pointed a gun at him.

When she saw who it was she took her gun away and said a bit surprised "Tony…. I…" She stopped to speak when she realized what Tony was looking at, the wall behind her. It was filled with pictures and articles all of them had something to do with Bodnar. Tony could feel his worst nightmare coming true.

Ziva went behind a desk standing in the middle of the room with an old laptop on it. She didn't think, she just went back there because what she saw in Tony's eyes made her a bit startled. He looked both scared and worried as he did back in the bull pen, but now he also looked angry and that was the last thing she wanted right now or needed for that matter.

He took a few steps into the little office. "You are going after Bodnar aren't you"? He tried to sound as calm as possible, but it was hard to hide the anger which had suddenly hit him. He had fought to get through her walls and he had actually thought it had succeeded. Nonetheless she had kicked him out again and he felt like she didn't trust him. It wasn't that he didn't understand her, this was her way of getting through the death of a love one, but he couldn't stop feeling hurt.

"I am Tony and you cannot stop me. I know what you are going to say and I would not change my mind" She said firmly like she knew he would discover her at some point and had in that case prepared a little speech or maybe it was guilt, any way Tony couldn't quite place it. He still felt angry though.

"But why on Earth didn't you tell me about this Ziva! I honestly thought we were past these things, I thought we could tell each other stuff like this! Do you realize that you can get yourself killed? Do you know how selfish that is!?" This time he couldn't hide his anger or worry for that matter. During his angry speech he had went to stand in front of her, though on the other side of the desk.

"Selfish Tony!?" She was getting angry now too because how dare he calling her selfish she thought, before she added: "I am going to kill a man who has murdered my father and a mom to two children! I am going to put myself in danger Tony, that it's not selfish!" She looked angry and stubborn at him.

"Dammit Ziva!" He cried and then thought about what to say next, he had to think it through so he didn't say something which wasn't meant for an argument. "It selfish because a lot of people care about you and if you die they wouldn't be able to get over it because you mean too much to them…" This wasn't said with anger but with uncertainty and care. He looked down so he couldn't see what she was thinking. They both knew it was him he was talking about. He was the one who wouldn't get over it. Never.

The anger in her eyes disappeared when she heard Tony's words. She went to his side of the desk, few centimeters from him when she spoke softly, looking him straight in the eyes: "I need to do this Tony and if something happens to me then I am sure you will get through." She smiled sweetly though a bit sadly too and then put her left palm on his left cheek.

They looked each other in the eyes a minute or two before Tony pulled himself together so he wouldn't either kiss her or tell her that he loves her. This wasn't the right time, she wasn't ready yet.

He covered hers much smaller hand which was still on his cheek with his own hand, he took their hands down so they were holding hands instead. "Ziva we can discuss the rest later, but so far you have to know that I will neither get through nor get over you. I can't live without you"…

" Stop Tony.. I.." Ziva interrupted him because she was getting really overwhelmed by all of this. Every time she had planned a mission like this no one had never tried to stop her or even cared about it. She was about to say that of course he could live without her, she was only Ziva, she had no real family. She felt lost in life and everything she had been through was starting to hunt her, particularly the death of Ari and most of all Somalia. She felt like a wreck and no one should feel that they couldn't live without her, especially not Tony who she was truly in love with. It was the only feeling she had under control, but he was right they should discuss that later, if there would be any later…

She didn't get to say the rest before his right index finger was on her lips. "Ziva let me finish this please", he took a deep breath before added, "it's true Ziva and therefor I will follow you wherever you go in this revenge-trip. I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror if I couldn't protect you and something really bad happened to you. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you die because I wasn't there to back you up. And as you know I wouldn't be able live at all if something ever happens to you. So where are we going"?

He said with little smile and removed his finger from her lips so she could speak, though she looked a bit stunned. He squeezed her hand which made her come back from wherever she had been in her own brain.

She didn't know what to do with all these information and the huge concern for her so she stammered at first when she answered him. "Be… Ber…Lin… I… Me… I'm going to Berlin", she looked nervously around the room until her eyes again found Tony's and added this time without the stammer, "It's very sweet of you Tony, but I would not be able to live with myself if something happened to you on my revenge-trip as you put it. And, and if you die out there…. I… I". She couldn't hold the lump in her throat and the fresh tears in her eyes any longer, the thought of losing Tony broke her.

She took her hand from his and joined it with the other to cover her eyes instead. She stood there in front of him, shaking and crying, not really loud but it wasn't quiet either. He closed the distance between them and hugged her tightly, her head on his chest and him caressing her back and ponytail.

When her crying had stopped a bit he said to her, "I don't care if you like it or not because I'm coming with you, you need me there both as backup but also to be there for you. No arguments. When do we leave?"

She looked up at him with wet eyes and smiled grateful though she was afraid of losing him she was actually happy that he would be there with her. "The flight is tomorrow morning at 8.00".

Thanks for reading! :D
