He Shoots, He Scores, He Dies.
---------------
Dr. Gillian sits in her chair..."Next appointment, please."...she looks over her schedule..."DiNozzo?"
She rises and awaits Tony...but instead Ziva walks through the door, her hair has just started to grow back.
"Oh, I forgot, your name is DiNozzo now."
"You afraid he killed someone else?"
"It certainly wasn't out of my mind...please, sit."
Ziva sits on the couch.
"You've never seen me, that is correct?"
"Nope, but Tony highly recommends you."
"Really?" ...as she takes a sip of coffee.
"Yeah, he likes you. He can talk to you and he thinks you want him."
She spits out her coffee..."What!?"
"Relax, just a joke...right?"
"Of course." ...she takes a big gulp...
Dr. Gillian pauses and looks through Ziva's files...
"It seems killing runs in the family."
"Seems like it." ...as Ziva starts to twirl her knife around.
"Mrs. DiNozzo, please put away the knife. You DiNozzo's and your toys."
"Do I want to know what Tony twirled around in here?"
"I beg your pardon!?"
"A knife, gun, baton...why you so jumpy?"
"Sorry, I didn't get my coffee this morning."
"We just have sex."
"Ok, that's enough for the day."
"What? I've been in here 4-5 minutes."
"I'm putting you on desk duty until after our next session."
Ziva stands..."When's the next session? Tomorrow?"
"Next Monday."
"No way, I need to get back in the field."
"Fine, two days from now...after I get your progress reports and after we talk again, I'll make a decision then."
"It's better than next week, I agree to terms."
"You agree to terms?"
"Sorry, as Tony would say, Ziva being Ziva."
"By the way, Mrs. DiNozzo...how is Tony doing?"
"He's great."
"I'm glad to hear that and I can't wait to hear more stories about your sex life."
"What?"
"Did I say that out loud?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Sorry, gotta go." ...and she quickly closes the door..."What in the hell is wrong with you, Stephanie!?"
Ziva knocks on the door and Dr. Gillian answers it..."Yes, what is it?"
"The cure for that is getting laid, yes?" ...and Ziva leaves.
Dr. Gillian just stands there with a shocked look on her face.
Ziva walks into the squad-room...Tony sits at his desk, looking at files on his computer.
Ziva sits at her desk and then kicks it.
"Desk duty, huh?"
"Yes, until Wednesday at the earliest."
"Maybe we won't get a case until then...or you could go teach McGee how to throw a knife, after 10 years he still sucks at it."
"Naw, I'm not in the mood."
"Come on, baby...when have you ever been not in the mood to hurl things?"
Ziva sighs...Tony stands and walks over to her and sits on her desk..."I know what you're going through...I'll talk to Gibbs, maybe he can do something...hang in there." ...as he rubs her back
Tony moves back to his desk..."Tony, who is Caitlin Todd?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I found something in my desk that belong to her...it's a diary...it was stuck up under the top drawer."
"She was my partner before you...she was killed by your brother Ari."
"Oh...did I meet her?"
"No, you would've liked her...she was tough, like you...a little bitchy...but tough."
"Here, you should have her diary then." ...she tries to hand it to Tony.
"No, just leave it in there...she put it there for a reason."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"DiNozzo."
Tony looks up..."Yeah, Boss?"
"I need to talk to you for a minute."
"Alright." ...Tony stands and goes upstairs...
"Hey, Cynthia."
"Go right in, Tony."
"Close the door, Tony."
Tony closes the door..."What's up, Gibbs?"
"A Lt. Commander Rex Goodman died while playing in a pick-up basketball game at the Naval Academy."
"How?"
"An apparent heart attack."
"Something hinky about the case?"
"A personal friend asked me to look into it."
"Is the friend involved?"
"Not directly, no."
"Look how deep into it?"
"All the way."
"Can you help me with Ziva?"
"I can't on this one...I had to stake my job on getting her a second chance in NCIS."
"There's nothing you can do?"
"No."
Tony sighs..."Ok."
"Ducky left 20 minutes ago...so if you leave now, you should get there 10 minutes before him."
"On it, Boss."
Tony head downstairs..."Come on, McGee, grab your gear...we got a dead guy."
Ziva looks up...and Tony shakes his head left to right...as he puts on his shades...
As he's passing by her, he pats her hand..."Wednesday."...and they get on the elevator..
Tony and McGee arrive at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland...and walk into a taped off gym.
A man in shorts and a t-shirt lies face down on the ground...no sign of blood, but he has white foam around his mouth.
Tony opens his cell and calls..."Where you at Ducky?"
"I'm in the parking lot."
click
"Take photos McGee and interview the guys he was playing ball with." ...as Tony goes back outside to meet Ducky.
"Aww, Anthony...my dear new assistant got us lost."
"Again?"
"No, it's a new assistant."
"That's your fourth this year...missing Palmer that much?"
A tall slender younger woman steps from behind Ducky, her long red hair flows in the wind...she quickly gathers it in her hand and pulls it up and puts on a NCIS cap..."I'm sorry, Dr. Mallard."
"How many times do I have to tell you, call me Ducky, Kimberly."
"Don't apologize, you're here to learn."
"Ok, Ducky."
"Better, Kimberly."
"Kim or Kimmy, please."
"Now you're getting the hang of it, lass...oh, this is our esteemed leader, Special Agent DiNozzo."
"Hey, Kimmy."
She runs into the wall.
Tony grabs her by the hand..."Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I guess." ...she moves quickly under the tape...looking embarrassed.
"This one a keeper, Duck?"
"We'll see." ...as they go under the tape.
"The usual, Ducky."
Ducky walks over and examines the body...
"Got all the pics, Boss." ...as McGee takes a sample of the white foam from the Lt. Commander's mouth.
"Help me flip him over, McGee." ...Ducky and Tim flip him over to his back and Ducky takes out his liver probe...
"TOD?"
"2 hours ago, Tony."
"What's the white stuff, Duck? Seizure? Could he have had a stroke?"
"Could be."
"That the COD?"
"Hard to say, I'd like to get back to be more thorough."
"Ok." ...as Ducky goes over to talk to the police on the scene.
Tony walks into the locker-room..."What number was his locker, McGee?"
McGee looks at his notes..."17."
"12...13...14...15...16...bingo." ...he tugs at the lock on locker...then takes out his lock-picking tools and picks the lock.
"Are those new?"
"Yep, Ziva gave them too me for my birthday." ...as he starts going through the locker.
"You're a weird couple."
"Thanks, McFallAsleepy."
"Aww, man."
"Admit it, you set yourself up for that one."
McGee nods...
"Ok, we've got one Navy suit." ...he hands it to McGee, who puts it in a bag..."We have shoes, a pair of men's underwear, contaminated on both sides, ewwwww...we have 3 pairs of panties...looks like our Lt. Commander was a ladies man, Timmy. How with those man panties of his, I'll never know."
McGee takes the items and places them in separate bags..."some deodorant, a watch...nice, rolex...keys...viagra...makes sense." ...Tony tosses them all in a bag.
"That's weird, he doesn't have a wallet."
"What's that down in the corner?" ...McGee pointed at it
Tony kneels and pulls out a picture...it's of an older woman in lingerie..
"Red isn't her color."
"I'll be sure to tell her that when we find her, Probie."
"I'm just saying."
"Make sure you dust and fingerprint the locker door and insides, McGee."
"On it, Boss."
--------------
Meanwhile back at NCIS, in Abby's lab
--------------
Ziva steps off the elevator
"Hey, Abby."
"Oh, hi Ziva."
Abby types on her computer..."Can I do anything for you, Ziva?"
"Nope, just looking around...desk duty sucks."
"That's kind of my job, ya know?"
"Oh, I'm sorry...I didn't mean anything by it."
"Yes, you did."
"I seem to have angered you...I'll leave."
"No, it's ok...I'm just not feeling well."
"Oh, I hope you feel better soon."
Abby turns around and starts going through evidence...
"Abby, the real reason I came down here is that I wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of my children...you're a true friend."
Ziva moves to her and hugs her...Abby's head lies on her shoulder and she lets out a frown..
Tony and McGee step off the elevator into the squad-room.
Ziva sits with her head on her desk..."Is it Wednesday yet?'
"Nope." ...as Tony sits..."Hey, McGee get that evidence down to Abby."
McGee leaves...
"Speaking of Abby, I don't think she's feeling well...or in that good of mood either."
"Why do you say that?"
"I dunno, were me and Abby close?"
"I would say so, you definitely grew on her."
Ziva shrugs..."No idea then, but she seemed pissed at me."
"Well, I'll talk to her later...don't worry about it."
Tony's phone rings..."Director Gibbs would like to see you, Tony."
"Tell him I'll be right up, Cynthia."
Tony stands..."Come on, Z...lets go see what Gibbs wants."
She lifts her head...and looks at Tony...
"Always good to have a second opinion."
Tony holds out his hand...
"Aww, such a gentlemen."
"I don't do it for all the ladies."
She puts her hand in his..."Maybe, we, ummm, in morgue drawer."
"What number?"
"7?"
"Heh."
They head upstairs.
"What's up, Gibbs?"
Ziva sits in a chair, as Tony leans against a wall.
"You find anything out?"
"Ducky's new assistant is easy on the eyes, has red hair and likes to run into walls."
"About the case, DiNozzo. Redhead, huh?"
"Yup."...Tony pauses..."Nothing much, Ducky's doing the autopsy now, McGee took the evidence to Abby a few minutes ago."
"I need you to go through this one with a fine-tooth comb, Tony."
Ziva sits up..."What is so important about this man, Gibbs?"
"He was in consideration to carry the football."
"Football?"
"Nuclear launch codes, Z."
"Leave no stone unturned, Tony."
"On it, Boss."
"There's nothing you can do, Gibbs? My talents are just wasting away out there at that desk."
"It's just two days, Ziva."
"This sucks." ...as she walks out.
Tony looks at Gibbs...
"Don't look at me, you married her."
Ziva is back sitting at her desk, she twirls her knife, looking absolutely bored out of her mind.
Tony just stares at her as she continues to twirl her knife from the balcony railing.
"You hungry, Z?"
"I could eat."
"How about you McGee?"
"I brought my lunch from home...besides, Ruby wants me to lose a couple pounds."
"She said that to you?"
"Naw, once in awhile she calls me McFlabby, Ziva."
"Hey, she's stealing my material!" ...as Tony comes down the stairs.
"Where are we going Tony?"
"You craving anything...other than sex?"
"PIZZA!"
"Pizza it is."
Ziva grabs her coat.
"Hey, I have to go talk to Abby for a few minutes...I'll meet you in the car."
"Ok."...as Ziva enters the elevator...Tony walks the opposite way..
-----------
Tony steps into Abby's lab holding a caf-pow..
"Hey, Abs..." ...handing her the caf-pow..
She's silent...
"Ok, did I do something wrong?"
She turns to him...and starts to cry..."It's ok...shhhhh, it's ok...what's wrong, Abs?"...as he hugs her..
She continues to cry on his shoulder..."I can't help you Abby unless you tell me what's wrong."
"I've tested it 4 times, it comes back the same every time."
"Tested what, Abby?"
"Tony...I'm pregnant." ..
"Yay, that's great, Abby...you've always wanted to be a mom!"
"You're the dad, Tony."
"NOOOOOOOO, that's not great, NOT GREAT AT ALL. How? Why? When? We used a condom every time."
Abby leans back..."Not always."
"What?"
"Once, you were passed out and I was feeling a little...you know and I didn't want to bother with a condom, so I didn't."
"You garped my swimmers?"
"Garped?"
"World According to Garp...a nurse makes loves to a soldier in a coma to get pregnant."
"I guess I did."...she pauses..."Ziva is gonna kill me."
"...and what is she gonna do to me, make me brownies!?"
Tony flashbacks to Ziva telling him what she would do if he cheated on her.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"You two weren't technically together then, were you?"
"You think that's gonna matter to her?"
"We're dead."
"We'll think of something."
Tony starts to leave...
"Tony...I'm keeping the baby."
Tony turns around..."Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way" ...and Tony leaves..
Tony walks into the squad-room, an eerie silence floats over the room...he sits at his desk and he looks to his right.
"Kate?"...she stands..."Are you pregnant?"
"Yes, Tony and you're the father."
"What?"
"Tony?"
Tony looks to his left, a very pregnant Jenny stands..."You're the father of my child, too."
"What?"
"Tony?"
Tony turns around..."Yup, got me, too." ...a very pregnant Jeanne stands behind him.
Tony covers his eyes..."Stop it."
"Oh, Tony?"
"I know that voice." ...Tony looks..."No, not you, too, Paula."
"You're a pig, Tony...and yes, you're the father."
"What do you want from me?"
"Oh, Tony?" ...a very pregnant Kimberly stands before him.
"For the love of god, I've never even slept with her."
"It doesn't matter, you're the father."
"Mr. DiNozzo?"
"Dr. Gillian? Someone kill me, please...I'm beggin' ya."
"Wake up, Tony...it's just a dream...and yes, you are the father."
A very pregnant Abby walks by...and sits in a chair...
"Abby?"
Suddenly Tony's on the Maurie Povich show...
Maurie Povich opens an envelope..."Tony...you are the father!"
"What in the hell?"...the crowd boos him.
"Now lets bring out his wife, Ziva."
crowd applauds...
"So tell us, how does it feel to be married to a man who's gotten so many woman pregnant?"
"Tony, am I not good enough to get pregnant again?"
Now, all eight woman stand around him in a circle...and they all chant "TONY! TONY! TONY!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" ...as Tony wakes and sits up in a cold sweat
Which wakes Ziva up..."What's wrong, Tony?"
Tony sits there breathing heavily..."I can't lie to you, Ziva."
"Lie?"
"Abby's pregnant and I'm the father."
"What!?"
"I thought you were dead...I was weak. I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"I cheated on you."
"No you didn't...and I don't think we're married anymore, my death null and voided it."
"Really...you're not mad?"
"Oh, I'm pissed."
"Figures."
"Not because of that."
"Then why?"
"I'm late."
"Late for what?"
Ziva smacks him upside the head..."Think!"
"No freakin' way."
"Yes freakin' way, right when I'm about to go back on active duty again."
Tony lays back...and smiles..
"If I roll over and you're smiling, you're getting kneed somewhere extra special."
"Yes, dear."
Ziva and Tony ride up the elevator together...Tony takes a step out into the squad-room, but Ziva doesn't...Tony quickly turns around..
"Where are you going?"
"To talk to Abby."
"No." ..as the door closes and Tony hits the elevator door button, but it's too late...he quickly dashes for the stairway door...a janitor's cart is in his way, he stops and waits for him to pass.
Tony runs down the stairs...making it into Abby's lab...she stops and sees Ziva and Abby hugging and crying together.
Ziva walks over to Tony..."What, did you think I was gonna kill her or something?"
"No, not at all. Maybe puncture a lung or two, break a leg or two, tops, sweet cheeks."
"I might've, if you hadn't of told me."
"I would never lie to you."
"Good, 'cause..." Tony interrupts her..
"Yes, I know...you'll cut my." ...she puts her fingers to lips.
"Exactly!" ...she replaces her fingers with her lips..."I'll leave you two to talk." ...and she leaves.
Tony walks over to Abby..."I'm sorry I told her without asking you first, but I had this really weird dream and she had the right to know."
"It's ok, Tony...I want you to know, I don't want you to feel like you're responsible for this baby."
"Nonsense, Abs...you know I'll help and you know I'll be a part of his or her life."...Tony pauses..."You don't know what sex it is yet, do you?"
"No, too early...maybe in a couple weeks."
"I'd like to go with you to the appointment if that's ok with you...and Ziva."
She laughs..."Yeah, definitely permission from Ziva."
"Come here." ...as Tony holds out his arms...Abby walks towards him and they hug..."I love ya, Abs and I'll do anything for you." ...he kisses her on the cheek.
"Thank you, Tony." ...she smiles..
"Out of curiosity, did Ziva get a lobotomy? If so, I want the X-Rays."
"Oh, Abby." Tony chuckled
Tony tugs on one of Abby's pigtails and smiles at her
"While I'm down here, you got anything for me with Lt. Commander Rex Goodman."
Abby goes to her computer..."Sure, do, where do you want to start?"
"Fingerprints?"
"Mostly his, lots of smudges, did get a fingerprint from a Captain Joseph Greenville, but that turned to up dead."
"Why's that?"
"He's dead."
"Oh."
"Did get a few unknowns, though...so go out and get me new evidence!"
"Will do...how about his clothing?"
"Found some hairs on his uniform, from 3 different female donors...1 came back a match, to a Jennifer Summers, she got arrested for a DUI last year. Her DNA was also in his skivvies."
"Got an address? Is she married?"
She writes it down..."yes, to a Captain James Summers, he's stationed at the Naval Academy."
"Nice work, Abs."
"Wait, there's more...I also found 8 different female donors in said skivvies."
"8? Wow, he did get around."
"Yeah, more than you Tony."
Tony gives her a look..."Moving on...and they were all within the last 48 hours."
"Damn...what about Jennifer Summers sample?"
"Hers was the freshest of all, maybe 12 hours."
"Real nice work, Abs."...Tony turns around..
"Stop, I'm not done yet."
"Go on..."
"I also found Jennifer Summer's fingerprint on the viagra bottle, but get this...there was another fingerprint on top of hers."
"It's not the Lt. Commanders?"
"No."
"Anything else?"
"Ducky wants to see you."
Tony turns...then quickly turns around again...
Abby laughs..."I'm done."
Tony leans in and kisses her on the cheek..."I love ya, Abbycakes."...then leaves..
Abby just smiles and drinks her caf-pow
Tony walks into autopsy.
"Abby said you wanted to see me?"
"Aww, yes...why don't you do the honors, Kim."
"Me?"
"Yes, my dear."
"Umm, ok."
Tony just stands there...waiting.
"Well, he...Ducky?"
"Go on, lass."
"He died of rabies."
"Rabies? You can die from rabies?"
"Indeed, Anthony...if it's not treated."
"I didn't know that."
"It's extremely rare in America, but thousands dies every year in third world country from rabies."
"So, am I looking for Cujo or something?"
"It's possible...or bats...or any creature that's infected with it."
"Can someone be given rabies on purpose...on food, syringe?"
"Only if it was infected with rabies...and yes."
"Wow, a Lt. Commander dying from rabies...you think you'll get to publish this one in one of those medical journals?"
"Again...it's possible."
"Anything else?"
"He had scratches all over his back and buttocks."
"Probably from sex...Abby found trace of 9 different women in his skivvies."
"My, he was quite the playboy...speaking of which, his penis has scratches at well."
"Kinky...you think they were causes by scratching? Fresh?"
"No, they look different...the groove are too perfect and yes, quite fresh...24 hours or so."
"Ok, I'm looking for a rabies infected creature who happens to make perfect scratches on male genitalia?"
"Yes."
"Wow, That should be easy." ...and Tony leaves..
"Easy?"
"He was joking, Kim."
Tony steps off the elevator into the squad-room
"McGee, you have the Lt. Commander's address?"
"He was staying at a hotel...want me to go over there?"
"No, I'll do it, I want you to go pick up this woman." ...he hands him her address..."Ziva, go with him."
"How?"
"I need you in the field while I can." ..he smiles at her..."I'll talk to Dr. Gillian."
"Are you sure, Boss?"
Tony points at McGee then towards the elevator with his thumb.
Ziva and McGee leaves via the elevator
--------------
Tony knocks on Dr. Gillian's door
"Come in."
Tony walks in..."I need you to ok Ziva's return to the field."
"Tomorrow."
"No, today...I need her...she's fine, Steph...I bet my badge on it."
"Tony..."
"Please, she needs this."
"Tony...I doubt I was gonna return her to the field anyway...she's killed NCIS agents."
"Stephanie...she was brainwashed...I trust her with my life...my children's lives...she can do this."
"You're a bad influences on me, Tony...fine, I'll ok it, but she has to see me at least twice a week and if she slips up just once, I'll ask Director Gibbs to take away her badge."
"Done."
"You should come, too...it would be good for her."
"What, like marriage counseling?"
"In a way, yes."
"If you think it'll help her...I'll do it."
"All right, Tony...I'll send the paperwork to Director Gibbs."
"Thank you."
"She's already in the field, isn't she?"
"Maybe."
She sighs..."What am I gonna do with you, Tony DiNozzo?"
"Whatever it is, be gentle...I bruise easily." ...as Tony starts to leave.
"I love bruises on a man."
"See ya, Dr. Kinky." ..as he walks through the door
She sighs...once again...
Ziva and Tim walk up to a front door and knock..
"What are those things in the yard, Tim?" ..she points.
"Those are gnomes, Ziva."
"Gnomes?"
"Yeah, remember those travelocity commercials?"
"No."
A woman opens the door..."Yes?"
"Are you Jennifer Summers?"
"Yes."
"Tim McGee, NCIS."
"Ziva...same...my badge is in my pocket."
Tim looks at Ziva..
"What?"
Tim shakes his head..."Please come with us, we have some questions for you down at NCIS."
She slams the door.
"I'll go around back, Tim." ...and she runs off.
"Ma'am, open the door!" ...he throws his shoulder into it..."Ow."
Ziva grabs Jennifer trying to run out the back door..." I got her McGee."
"Let go of me, you bitch." ...as she slaps Ziva in the face.
Ziva knocks her down and takes out her gun and points it at her..."Don't make me shoot you."
McGee runs around the side..."Ziva, are you doing."
"She slapped me"
"So, you're gonna shoot her?"
"I thought about it." ..she pauses..."Turn over on your stomach NOW!"...and she does.
"Cuff her, McGee." ...he cuffs then stands her up.
"You weren't gonna shoot me, were you?"
"Probably not, one of the things I've learned from my husband is that shooting someone equals lots of paperwork."
"For someone who hates paperwork, Tony sure does shoot a lot of people."
"I didn't marry him for his brains, McGee."
Tony walks into the squad-room
"She's in interrogation waiting for you."
"You run it, McGee."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Ok."
"What, don't you think you can do it?"
"No, I just thought Ziva would be a better choice...she's scared of her."
"What did you do Zee-vah?"
Ziva looks at Tony..."Nothing, really...I aimed my gun at her."
"In her defense, Boss...she did slap Ziva."
"Broken leg?"
"Nope."
"Arm?"
"She's unhurt."
"You going soft on me, Z?"
Ziva stands up and walks in front of Tony..."I dunno, what do you think?" ...she does something with her hand.
Tony lets out a yelp..."Dirtbags, Z...not me. Jeez."
Ziva laughs and follows McGee to interrogation.
Tony sits at his desk..."That was stupid, DiNozzo...ah, I think I need some ice."
Tony joins Ziva in observation
"How's he doing?"
"Fine."
-----------
"Why did you run from us?"
"I was afraid."
"Of what?"
"I dunno, I did something stupid."
"Do you know a Lt. Commander Rex Goodman."
"Oh god.."
"I'll take that as a yes."
She starts to cry..
-------------------
"Oh crap, McGee is terrible in this kind of situation."
"No, let him work it out...although he does look like a lost puppy."
-------------------
"Please don't cry." ...he pats her on the back
She continues crying...
--------------------
"The big D is fine, yes?"
"Y…yeah, he's fine."
"Good, he and I need to have chat later."
"That kind of scares me...and excites me...which should I feel?"
"Both...and you can go save him now." ...as she's fallen on the floor under the table, McGee is on his knees trying to coax her to get up.
Tony walks into the interrogation room..."McGee, pick her ass up."
"She keeps trying to scratch or bite me if I put my hand on her."
"Well, bite her back."
Tony walks over to the table and grabs her by the leg and pulls her out, stands her up and sits her in the chair..."Stop acting like a damn child...shut your damn mouth and sit in that damn chair."
Tony moves around so he's looking at her..."Look at me."
She looks up at him..."Did you have sexual relations with Lt. Commander Rex Goodman?"
"Yes."
"Your husband doesn't know?"
"No."
"Why did you run?"
"I though you were gonna tell him."
"When was the last night you saw Rex Goodman?"
"I met him at a bar, my husband is out of town...we had been drinking and I did something stupid...I took him home and we had sex."
"When was this?"
"Two nights ago...I spent all day yesterday crying in bed."
---------
"She's naive...and innocent."
---------
"Ok, was there anyone else with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"There was another fingerprint over yours on the Lt. Commander's viagra bottle."
She starts crying again...
"Just stop...you aren't in trouble...just give me a name."
"She was an escort...Mary Anne or something like that. That's all I know."
"Get her out of here, McGee."
Back in the squad-room
-------------
"Find that escort, McGee."
"On it, Boss."
"Z, see if her husband was really out of town."
"Did you check out his hotel room?"
"Yeah, they had those electronic thingies that tells when and where someone enters or exits a room and it said he hadn't been in there in 4 days."
"You still take a look around?"
"Yeah, I took the bedspread, the sheets were new...but I took his toiletries and such. Nothing much."
"What are you gonna do?"
"Talk to Gibbs about something."
"What?"
"Abby."
"You're gonna tell him now? Shouldn't Abby tell him?"
"She's probably too scared to do it...the earlier he knows, the less lightly he is to kill me."
"He's not gonna kill you, Tony."
Tony starts towards the stairs.
"Tony...come here..." ...as Ziva stands
"What?" ...moving towards Ziva.
"Kiss me."
"No."
She grabs him by the tie..."Kiss me, Tony."
"Still no."
She starts wrapping his tie around her hand...pulling him even closer..."Kiss me, or else."
"Else what?"
She whispers in ear...
He leans back..."I didn't know you could do the splits."
"Uh huh."
"I'll have to think about your offer."
Tony turns around...then stops..."Oh, there's a gift for you in my desk, top left drawer...help yourself, sweet cheeks."...as Tony goes up the stairs..
Tony walks into Gibbs office...
"Gibbs, I need to talk to you about something."
"Is it about Abby?"
"Yes."
"I already know."
"Oh...ok."
"Close the door, Tony."
"I'd rather not."
"Why not?"
"People couldn't hear me scream."
"DiNozzo, close the damn door!"
Tony closes the door.
"Sit."
"I'd rather stand...easier to dodge bullets."
Gibbs sighs...
Tony sits..."Look, Gibbs...I screwed up."
"No, actually you didn't...she did."
"Don't blame her...it takes two to tango."
"I was actually talking about Jenny."
Tony thinks for a minute..."Hey, it was her fault."
"DiNozzo, shut up."
"Shutting up, Boss."
Tony stands up..."I promise I'll do anything and everything in my power to help raise that child, financially, emotionally and physically."
"You better."
"How could I not, it's my child...and I love Abby to death."
------------
Ziva sits at Tony's desk and opens the top left drawer and takes out a box that has a bow on it...she opens the box and there is a star of David necklace...she picks it up and two rings slide down the chain...one is her old engagement ring and a new gold wedding ring. She unlatches the necklace and takes the rings off the chain and holds them in her hand.
Tony walks out of Gibbs' office and starts going down the stairs...Ziva literally tackles him on the second to last step.
"Yes!"
"How's a small quaint wedding sound, maybe like 10 people?"
"God no, I don't want any kind of ceremony."
"Good, the marriage license is in the top right hand drawer, sign it and we'll be married again...once we swing by the courthouse."
"Then why did you ask if I wanted a small wedding?"
Tony walks by..."It's called making you happy."
Ziva jumps on his back..."You do." ...wrapping her legs around his waist.
Tony phone rings..."You know, I'd move faster if I didn't have you on my back."
"And people in hell want ice water, yes?"
Tony answers the phone...
"What is it Ducky?"
"I need to see you right away, I've found something about the Lt. Commander."
"Ok, I'll be right down."...he hangs it up
"Hey, Tony...I found that escort."
"Nice job, Tim."
"Hey, didn't I give you a job, Z?"
"Yes, you told me to get my gift."
"No, before that."
"Help a girl out, McGee?"
"He told you to see if the husband was really out of town."
"Oh yeah...nope, didn't do it."
"All right, McGee see if he was out of town...Ziva and I will go pick up the escort after we go see Ducky."
"On it, Boss."
"McGee, when you're done with that, leave it on desk and you can leave for the day. Your son's music recital's tonight, right? What time?
"7:30. You coming?"
"Of course."
"Cool."
Tony carries Ziva into the elevator...and the door closes...
Ziva drops from his back and she hits the emergency button...
"You don't think Ducky would mind waiting a bit, do you Tony?"...pushing him back against the wall..
"Heh. Define...a bit?"
Tony and Ziva step off the elevator
"What you got Ducky?"
"I called you 20 minutes ago."
"Sorry, we tried to hurry."
"We?"
Tony turns around...and Ziva is gone...Tony walks through the sliding door as Ziva hops on one foot..."What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to get one of shoes back on."
"Why do you take off your shoes anyway?"
"It's a girl thing."
Tony shrugs..."WE'RE coming Ducky."...Tony kneels and unties Ziva's shoe and places it on her foot, then ties it.
"Toda!"
"Speaking Hebrew again?"
"It was first thing that popped into my head...well, not the first thing."
"heh...I'm still wondering about that whole splits things."
"Patience."
"Yes, Ma'am!" ..as she offers him a hand, helping him up
Tony and Ziva walk into autopsy..."Sorry, Ducky...what you got?"
"Our Lt. Commander did not die of Rabies...matter of fact, he's had rabies for more than 8 months."
"How is that possible?"
"Rabies will not harm you until it shows signs...a person or animal could have rabies for years...or as short as 2 weeks before signs...such as foaming of the mouth, fits of rage, headaches, etc."
"Ok, then what killed him then, Dr. Mallard?"
"Believe it or not, Ziva...he overdosed on viagra."
"What's viagra?"
"Awww, to be young...it's a pill for erectile dysfunction, Ziva."
"Huh?"
"So Mr. Happy can salute the ladies, Z."
"OOH! Go on."
"I think he was injected with it."
"Does it comes in injections, Ducky?"
"No."
"Then how was he injected with it?"
"I found residue in his lung...this is very common in crack addicts...sees how the lung tissue has those circles?"...pointing to the microscope..."If someone was to smash pills up, then add a liquid, they could inject it."
Tony looks in the microscope..."Oh yeah, what are those things?" ...Ziva takes a look
"Cool, the circles are blue."
"That's the dye I added, Ziva."
"Oh."...Ziva stands up...and folds her arms across her chest and shrugs...as Tony rubs her back..
"Anyway, how many pills we talking, Duck?"
"I would say close to 100."
"Are you serious!?"
"As a heart attack...which is his real COD...he was murdered, Anthony."
Tony and Ziva drive up and stop in front of a building.
"This is the address McGee gave us."
"Star Escorts" ..Tony reads the sign over the door
"High priced hookers, yes?"
"Yes and no. They're just suppose to be eye candy, but everything has a price, Z."
They both get out and walk up to the door...Ziva tries to open the door..
"It's locked."
"Hit the button."
"Oh." ...she pushes the button twice and it buzzes twice.
"Yes?"
"Special Agents DiNozzo and well...DiNozzo...we're looking for a Mary Anne."
"You got a warrant?"
"Yes."
"Show it to the camera."
Tony holds it up.
"She's not here."
"Where is she?"
"She's been missing for a couple days."
"Did you file a missing person's report?"
"No."
"I'm glad you're not my Boss."...as Ziva turns away from the camera
"No one cares about these girls."
"Apparently you don't either."
"Not true."
"What's her address?"
"172 Euclid St., Apartment 3B."
"Who was her last John?"
"She wasn't a prostitute."
"Cut the crap, lady...we don't care about that...we just need to find her."
"The guy picked her up here. He drove a white Jag, that's all I know."
--------------
They arrive at 172 Euclid St., Apartment 3B
"The doors cracked, Tony." ...as she takes out her gun and kicks open the door.
A woman lies on the ground, her hands tied behind her back, her head covered with a bag.
Ziva kneels..."She's dead."
"I'll call Ducky."
Ducky is knelt next to the body..."Aww, poor dear...she died far too young, Anthony."
"COD?"
"Asphyxia."
"What about the bruises and bumps on he back of the head?"
"She was beaten as well, but her eyes reveal her sad end...she struggled and fought to her very last breath, there's some trace in her fingernails."...Ducky sighs..."Hopefully her desire to live will catch her killer."
"Her mouth bled."
Ducky opens her mouth..."Ah, she has braces...those might explain the odd scratches on the Lt. Commander."
"Oh, yeah...right...check that out, Duck...that would prove she was with the Lt. Commander and Jennifer Summers."
"Indeed"...as Kim takes her away on a stretcher.
Ziva walks in..."I talked to her neighbor...he said she was quiet...I let it slip she was an escort and he apparently didn't know."
"It's not something you flaunt around, Z."
"I know, it's not like she's gonna have a huge sign on her door that says WHORE."
"Aww, that reminds me of a story when I was in the military during World War II, I was on leave in the Netherlands...these gals would sit in the windows naked, some of them on swings...and we'd walk by..."
"Enough, Ducky."
"Aww, Ziva...it was just getting good."
"Anyway, I'll get her back and perform the full autopsy...oh my, what time is it?"
Tony checks his watch.."5:47?"
"I must hurry, can't be late for young Timothy's recital."
"Are we going to that Tony?"
"It's only an hour, Ziva."
"Oh, all right...I don't have to put on a dress or anything do I?"
"There 7 and 8 year olds."
"YES!"
Ducky walks over..."She's excited, huh?"
"She's ecstatic, Ducky."
Ducky slaps Tony on the arm with his hat..."Me, too!"
Tony and Ziva ride up the elevator..
"I still can't believe how terrible they were."
"They were only 7 and 8 year olds, Ziva."
"Awful"...as she takes a drink of her coffee.
"Give me that."...he takes away her coffee..."You've had enough."
Ziva sighs...and the door opens...they walk out...
"Morning, guys."
"Hey, McGee."
"I'm sorry, but...last night sucked."
"Ziva!"
"It's ok, Tony...it really did."
"What kind of instrument does Timmy play, McGee?"
"It's a piccolo."
"What the hell is that?"
"It's like a small flute."
"I didn't know there were piccolo solos."
"Me either, Boss."
"He really does need a more manly instrument, Probie...like drums or a triangle."
"Triangle?"
"Yeah, I played the triangle...it's cool...and easy...Heh."
"Ruby played the piccolo, she made him play it."
"She sucks, McGee."
"Sorry, Tim...Ziva is...well, a bitch today."
"Oh crap, I have to talk to that doctor person today."
"Dr. Gillian?"
"The one who wants your body, yes?"
"She doesn't want me, I just say that stuff to yank her chain."
"She'd like to yank your chain."
Tony gives her a look...as she runs to the ladies room...holding her hand over her mouth..
"What's wrong with Ziva?"
"Morning sickness."
"She's pregnant, too?"
"You heard about Abby?"
"Yeah, Gibbs is gonna kill the guy."
"He's not gonna kill me, McG..."
"What, you're the father?"
Tony sighs..."Yes, I'm the father."
"Wow, just wow...can I have your desk?" McGee says with a laugh
Tony gives him a look..
"Sorry, Boss."
Tony walks to the ladies room door and knocks on the door..."I'm coming in."...Tony walks in and goes to a kneeling Ziva...he kneels beside her, pulling back her hair away from her face..."You ok?"
"I hate you, Tony."
"I love you, too."
Tony walks out of the ladies room.
"Is Ziva ok?"
"Yeah, she's fine...check to see how many white Jaguars are registered in the Annapolis area."
McGee searching..."Looks like 4, Tony."
"You coming, McGee?"
McGee quickly gets up and moves into the elevator with Tony.
---------------
They walk into the Lab...
"What you got for me, Abs?"
"Your dead escort, Mary Anne Ferguson, her fingerprints were on the viagra bottle. She was only 19."
"How about the DNA under her fingers?"
"The Lt. Commanders."
Tony turns on the camera to the morgue...Ducky appears on the screen..."What's the TOD for the escort, Ducky?"
"At least 48 hours."
"The Lt. Commander must've killed her."
"I also found traces of insulin in her body."
"She was a diabetic? That means she has syringes."
"Abby, check to see what kind of car the Lt. Commander drives."
"There's a Dodge Ram Truck registered to him."
"Any Jaguars reported stolen in the last 3 days."
"Yes, 1...from an EZ car rental."
"Was there a police report done?"
"It was reported stolen by a Jennifer Summers."
Tony pounds his fist in the table..."I hate people who lie to me."
Tony and McGee leave the lab..
------------
Back in the squad-room
-------------------
Ziva is sitting at her desk...
"You ok, Ziva?"
"No...I think I need to go home."
Tony kneels beside her desk...rubbing her lower back..."McGee drive her home for me ...on your way back, swing by EZ car rental and see if they have a security tape for when the car was rented."
"Where you going, Boss?"
"Jennifer Summers."
Tony arrives at the Summers residence and knocks on the door, a man in a Navy uniform answers the door.
"May I help you?"
"Special Agent DiNozzo, NCIS." ...showing his badge
"Is there some kind of problem?"
"What's your name?"
"James Summers, Captain James Summers."
"Where's your wife?"
"At the store."
"Did you know that your wife likes to have wild threesomes with escorts and a certain Lt. Commander Rex Goodman."
"What!?"
"We found her DNA in Lt. Commanders underwear."
"Never."
"She also found her fingerprints on his bottle of viagra."
Captain James Summers shakes his head..."She wouldn't do that to me, I don't believe you."
"It also looks like she was involved in the killing of a escort, a Mary Anne Ferguson."
"There's no way my wife is the person you're talking about."
"Did I mention she had something to do with the disappearance of a white Jaguar that has been implicated in the murder of Mary Anne Ferguson."
Captain Summers just stands there in misbelief...
"When did you get back?"
"Just this morning."
"I hate to tell you this, but your wife is not a good person. She cheated on you, she lied about it and she's probably a murderer...I hate lawyers, but I'd call one if I were you."
"That's her now." ..as a car pulls into the driveway, the Captain walks out as she's getting out of the car..
Capain Summers grabs her by the wrist..."Please tell me what he's telling me isn't true!?"
"You're hurting me, James."
"It's true, isn't it?"
"You don't excite me anymore. I don't love you anymore."
He backhands her...knocking her down...she holds the side of her face as he's about to kick her...Tony grabs him..
"Why in the hell did you do that!? Now I have to arrest you, too." ..he places cuffs on Captain Summers and leans him against the car hood...
"Too?"
"Yes, Mrs. Summers...you're under arrest."
"For what?"
"Lying, murder, pissing me off...take your pick." ...he picks her up and pushes her against the car...and cuffs her..
"The cuffs are too tight!"
"Good." ..as he reads them their rights..
Back at NCIS
--------------
Tony and Mr. and Mrs. Summers step off the elevator into the squad-room...he sits Captain Summers on a chair..."Stay."
"I got the tape, Abby's going through it."
"Good job, Tim...how was Ziva?"
"She said she was feeling, Tony."
"Good."
"Who's the guy?"
"It's Captain James Summers."
"Oh, the husband...is he involved?"
"No, he just an idiot...he hit her right in front of me."
"Take Mrs. Summers to interrogation room #1...and McGee, leave the handcuffs on."
McGee leaves with Mrs. Summers.
Tony walks back over to Captain Summers..."Was that backhand really worth going to jail for?"
"I just lost my head."
"It was just stupid."...Tony sighs..."Maybe JAG will go easy on ya...make you take anger management classes or something."
Tony calls over NCIS security agent...and he takes him away...
Tony gets on the elevator and goes down...he steps off the elevator and walks into the lab...
"You get anything off that tape, Abs?"
"How's Ziva?"
"McGee said she was feeling better...have you started to get morning sickness?"
"Some, but nothing horrible...poor Ziva."
"Yeah..."
"Anyway, I went through the tape...there are two people, a man and a woman...the person who rented the car was named, Stacey Redmond."
"Stacey Redmond?"
"I dug a little deeper and guess what?"
"No clue, Abs."
"Jennifer Summers maiden name was Redmond."
"Let me guess...Stacey was her middle name?"
"Good guess."
"Bring up that video." ...and she does..
"That's our dead Lt. Commander."
"Looks that way, Abs." ...she grins..."Great job."
Tony leaves...
---------------
Tony arrives back in the squad-room
"She's ready for you, Tony."
Tony walks off to interrogation and his cell rings...
"Yeah?"
"What? T, Calm down."..."She's where? Locked?"..."All right, I'm coming."
"Tony, what's wrong?"
"Tim, tell Gibbs to take over."
Tony runs to the elevator and leaves...
Gibbs sits across from Jennifer Summers, he just stares at her and occasionally takes a drink of coffee
"Why are you staring at me?"
Gibbs takes another drink.
"Since when is cheating against the law?"
"Are you gonna confess soon? I'm running out of coffee."
"Confess to what?"
Gibbs stands..."Why did you rent the white Jaguar?"
"I didn't."
Gibbs points to the plasma on the wall...it shows Jennifer Summers and Lt. Commander Rex Goodman at EZ car rentals
She starts to cry..."It was an accident."
"He overdosed on viagra."
"I walked into the bathroom and the whore was shooting up."
"Her name was Mary Anne and she was a diabetic."...he slams his hands on the table..."Are you ever gonna tell the truth!?"
"He was gonna tell my husband we were having an affair."
"How did you do it?"
"After she went back in with him, I took the needle she used and I smashed up a couple bottle of viagra and added them to some water and filled the needle."
"When was this?"
"Sunday night."
"Then what happened?"
"I went back in there and we have sex again."
"So, he was gonna tell your husband about the affair and you still had sex with him?"
"I loved him."
Gibbs shakes his head…"Go on..."
"When he fell asleep, I gave him the shot."
"Why did he kill Mary Anne?"
"I took his wallet and told him that she was the one who stabbed him and that she stole his wallet."
"Why?"
"I don't know, I was scared."
"No, you were stupid and you got an innocent girl killed."
"I was afraid my husband would kill me."
"Where's the Jaguar?"
"I don't know, he took it and that was the last time I saw him."
------------
Tony walks through his front door.
"T, what's wrong?"
"Mom locked herself in the bathroom."
"What's wrong with mommy, daddy?"
Tony kneels..."I don't know, Sarah."...he waves his boys over..."I need you guys to stay in the front room, ok?"
"Ok, we will."...as T takes Sarah by the arm..."Come on, we'll play a game."
Tony stands and walks to his bedroom, then through it to their bathroom door...he knocks..."Ziva, open the door."
He knocks again..."Come on, Ziva...you're scaring the kids...and me, too."
He throws his shoulder into the door and the door opens...she sits in the shower, her knees to her chest, the water runs over her head.
Tony looks at her...then walks into the shower and kneels...lifting up her chin with his right hand, the water now deflects off the back of Tony's suit..."I...I lost the baby, Tony."
He sits next to her, putting his arm around her shoulder and pulls her head to his shoulder, he turns his head and kisses her on the temple.
She lays her head on his shoulder and starts to cry...the water runs over both of their heads...he hugs her tightly.
