A young man tosses out garbage behind an Italian restaurant as he argues with another man.
"You're making me look bad, Tom."
"I'm sorry, man, it's not like I want to do this the rest of my life."
"And you think I want to be a busboy at DiNardo's?"
The young man pushes down on the trash and then looks at his hands. They're wet and red, he lifts up the trash bags and sees a bloody face...he falls backwards..."What the..."
-----------------
The elevator doors open and Ziva steps out yanking Tony by his tie.
"I'm so tired, Z."
"You weren't tired an hour ago when you were making love to me."
"That was different, I just lied there. Heh."
"Come on, lazy."
Tony sighs..."God, I hope today is easy."
Ziva lets go of his tie as she sits at her desk. Tony stands in front of his desk, leaning against it with his hands.
"I'm not gonna make it, Zee-vah."
"DiNozzo!"
Tony quickly turns around..."I'm up and raring to go, Boss!"
"Ass kisser."
"You're just mad because I'm not kissing your ass...now."
"True."
"When you two are done grab-assin', get your asses in my office."
"We were grab-assin'?"
Ziva stands and smacks Tony in the ass, making a very loud sound.
"Ouch." ...he rubs his ass..."Hey, I owe you..."
"One?"
"More like 100."
Tony follows Ziva up the stairs..."I must say, this is an amazing view."
"Back to kissing my ass again?"
"No, I'll do that later."
She stops and turns around..."You better."...then smacks his ass again...
Tony runs up the stairs..."Leave my ass out of this, you crazy woman!"
She chases him into Cynthia's office.
They both collect themselves...Tony tightens his tie..."We're here to see Gibbs." ..they say together...then Ziva laughs...then settles herself again..
"Go on in."
Ziva walks through the door and sits down...Tony takes his usually place, leaning against the wall. A man stands next to Gibbs, very clean cut, wearing a suit, black with a white shirt and a red tie.
"What's up, Boss?"
"This is Reginold Felix, CIA...he needs to talk to Ziva."
"Oh?" Ziva stood up..."About what?"
"Do you know Mi Suki?"
"Yes, we've ran into her a few times. Tony actually more."
"That's why I asked Tony to come in with you, Ziva."
Felix steps forward and places a folder on the table..."She was found dead in a garbage dumpster behind DiNardo's restaurant last night."
"What?"...Ziva and Tony together ...as Ziva opens the file, showing the mutilated body of Mi Suki.
"Horrible."
"She was stabbed 33 times."...Felix steps back...
"What does this have to do with my wife?"
"We found Mi Suki's cell phone and the last 5 numbers she called were to your wife, Special Agent DiNozzo."
"And?"
"We'd like to know what you two talked about?"
Ziva sits back down..."Nothing much."
"For 14 minutes?"
"Yeah, so?"
Ziva pauses..."Do you think I had something to do with her death?"
"You tell me."
"If you're accusing my wife of murder, you better have some damn good evidence."
"I'm not accusing her of anything, we just want to ask her some questions." ...as he walks over to Ziva and places his hand on her arm
"That's not a good idea."
"Why? Are you going to hit me?"
"Um, no." ...as Ziva grabs him by the wrist and yanks it downward.
"Never put your hands on me!"
"I told ya."
"Ziva, let him go!"
"Boss, he put his hands on her."
"This is not the time, DiNozzo."
"Let him go, Z."
She lets go and he stands back up...he shakes his wrist...
"I will answer any questions I can, but do not lay a single finger on me ever again."
"Tony, show Mr. Felix where the interrogation room is and you can observe, but do you interfere, do you get me?"
"I got ya, Boss."
------------
Tony watches from observation as Ziva sits as Felix walks around her..
"This sucks, it really does."
----------------
"Ms. DiNozzo...please tell me where you were last night between 9 and 11 p.m.?"
"I was with my husband."
"Doing what?"
"Making love."
"How do you know it was that time?"
"Our kids go to bed at 9 o'clock, we went to bed a little afterwards."
"What did you and Mi Suki talk about?"
"Tony, my kids, cooking."
"Nothing to do with a...Jericho Granger?"
"Who? I don't even know who that is."
"You never did anything for Mi Suki?"
"Nothing lately."
"Nothing lately?"
"I did some recon for her close to 8 years ago."
"Before you were believed to be dead?"
"Yes."
"What do you remember of that?"
"Not much."
"You're not telling me much, Ms. DiNozzo."
"That's because I don't know anything."
"Then what is this text message to you: Ziva, I need your help...someone is after me, I think you know him." ..showing her a piece of paper with the text message on it.
"I have no idea."...she pauses..."I've only met her a few times."
--------------
"Oh, screw this!" ...as Tony exits the observation room, he runs into Gibbs..
"No, Tony."
"This is total bull..."..Gibbs cuts him off...
"No!"
Gibbs pushes Tony back into observation and joins him
-----------
"I don't know what you want from me, I don't know anything. Why the hell are you here anyway? Shouldn't you be out looking for her killer?"
"I am."
Tony takes out his cell..."Tim, tell me all you can about some guy named, Jericho Granger."
"You don't know who Jericho Granger is? Are you serious?"
"Probie!"
"He's one of the richest men in the world, he owns Granger Aeronautics, he just signed a 50 billion dollar deal with the DOD to make the new fighter planes for the US Military."
"Uh, I guess I missed the memo."...He pauses..."Thanks, McGee."

"I can't stand this, Gibbs."
"She's fine, Tony...and besides, Mi Suki's body is downstairs with Ducky."
"How did you pull that one off?"
"I didn't, they came to us. They want our help."
"Why would the great and powerful CIA want our help?"
"You."
"Me? I'm an idiot."
"That's what I keep telling them, but they still want you."
"Huh?"
"They need someone who speaks Hebrew."
"There are a lot of people who do that."
"Yes, but not all of them are married to ex-Mossad officers."
"No, I guess you're right."
"Except they don't trust Ziva."
"Ok, you lost me again."
-------------------------
"Does the name Ami Hofi sound familiar, Officer David...sorry, it's Officer DiNozzo now, right?"
"Officer?"
"Yes, you were an officer in Mossad."
"I don't remember anything about Mossad, I don't even remember the death of my brother, only what others have told me."
"I want to know about that text message."
"I didn't get no text message." ...Ziva takes out her phone..."See?"
He takes it from her and looks at it..."You have a new text message, it's unread."
Ziva takes back her phone..."I didn't even realize it."...she opens it..."It's from Mi Suki."
Reginold Felix leaves the room and walks into the observation room.
"She doesn't know anything, man."
"I can see that...did Director Gibbs fill you in?"
"About us helping you? Somewhat."
"What didn't he tell you?"
"First of all, who's this ex-Mossad guy you were talking about?"
"Ami Hofi? He's a world class hitman, he has 23 confirmed kills. He retired from Mossad, they didn't pay well enough."
"What does he have to do with Jericho Granger?"
"We've heard chatter about someone wanting him dead and also that the Chameleon was in the country."
"The Chameleon?"
"Hofi's codename, he's a master of disguise, he never looks the same twice."
"Any photos of him?"
"Just from his days at Mossad, but those are 15 years old."
"I'd like them anyway."
"Sure."
"So, what is it you want us to do?"
"We want NCIS, actually just you and your wife to watch Granger's back while he's on his latest adventure."
"Babysit a billionaire? No thanks."
"He boards his brand new 5000 room luxury cruise ship tomorrow morning, we're sure The Chameleon will try to make his move there."
"Look, he has his own person bodyguards, you're just there for added security and the rest of the time, you guys can just have fun."
"Will he know about us?"
"No."
"What's our cover?"
"You're gonna be rare artifacts dealer, based out of Tel Aviv...with your wife being Israeli, we're hoping the Hofi will make himself known."
"He won't, especially if he's that good."
"Will you do it?"
"I have to talk to Ziva."
"I need your answer by midnight." ...and he leaves..
"What you think, Boss?"
Gibbs is silent...
"Boss?"
"What?"
"You space out on me?"
"Just thinking about Abby."
"She's due back today isn't she?"
"Yeah." ...as he leaves.
"Wonder what's up with him."
Tony opens the interrogation door and holds out his hand..."Come on, baby."
"Where are we going?" ...as she stood up.
"To pay out last respects to Mi Suki." ...as she places her hand in his.
"I'm sorry about that, Z."
"Why, wasn't your fault...I have nothing to hide."
They get on the elevator...
"Abby's suppose to be back today."
"Yeah, Gibbs and I were just talking about that."
They get off in autopsy and walk through the sliding door.
"Hey, Duck...what ya got?"
Mi Suki lies on the table...her body is mutilated.
"She suffered greatly...she was stabbed 33 times, every major organ was hit at least 3 times...whoever did this, knew what they were doing."
"Damn...is stabbing the COD?"
"Actually, no...she drowned in her own blood."
"How did that happen?"
"She was stabbed in both lungs and they filled with blood and she slowly drowned to death in her own blood."
"Slowly?"
"2-3 minutes is a lifetime when you can't breath."
"Anything else odd about her death?"
"Her larynx was broken, she was unable to make a sound...she was doomed, Anthony."
"Find any trace?"
"No, nothing under her fingernails...she wasn't raped...no fluids or trace of any kind on her body."
"I need to talk to agent Felix." ...they leave..
"Lets go see Abby first, Tony." ...as they step into the elevator..
"Alright."
They step off into the lab...Abby stands at her computer...
"Welcome back, mommy!"
"Shh, she's sleeping."
"Sorry." ...Tony whispered
"How are you Abby?"
"I'm fine, Ziva."
"If you need anything, just call us, ok?"
"Yeah, I know." ...she lets out a smile..
Caitlin wakes up and starts crying...Abby moves to pick her up..."I'll get her."...as Tony picks her up and rocks her...
"I miss this part with a little girl"...Ziva and Abby both smiled as they watched Tony rock Caitlin back and forth.
Caitlin stops crying and Tony raises her over his head and looks up at her..."Is you a good girl? Yes, you are. Yes, you are a good girl."
"Tony, don't, she just ate."
"Katie is such a beautiful girl, yes you are." ...just then Caitlin throws up on Tony's face and chest...Tony takes out his handkerchief and spits out what went in his mouth...as both girls ewwww, then laugh at Tony.
"That definitely didn't taste like chicken...more like...boobie milk?"
Abby nods...and they both laugh their asses off..
Tony hands Caitlin to Ziva as Tony cleans himself off
"While you're done here, I have a new toy Gibbs wants you two to try out on your next mission."
"What mission?" ...as Ziva rocks Caitlin
"Didn't you tell her, Tony?"
Tony looks up..."Guess not...Z, we're going on a cruise ship, SURPRISE!"
"A cruise ship? Sounds like fun."
"Really?"
"Will there be gambling?"
"Yes."
"A bed?"
"Yes."
"It's perfect then!"
"Heh...you're easy to please..."...He walks over to Z and puts his hands over Caitlin's ears..."except in bed."
"Aww, that was kind of cute in an odd way, Tony."
"What, Abs?"
"The way you covered her ears, so she wouldn't have to hear the naughty parts." ...she smiled
Tony leans down and kisses Caitlin on the top of her head..."She really is a doll, Abs."
"Here." ...Tony walks over to Abby..."Now turn around." ...she places a gun like medical instrument up behind Tony's ear and pushes the trigger. She clicks a button..."Test it, Gibbs." ...and she pushes the button again.
"Testing 1, 2, 3, 4."
"Boss, is that you?"
Ziva looks at him weird..."Who are you talking to?"
"Yes, I can hear you DiNozzo...say the word mango salsa."
"Mango salsa?"
Abby's phone rings..."It works, do Ziva now."
"Do me now? What?"
"Tony, if you don't mind." ...Tony takes Caitlin from Ziva and Abby places the instrument behind her ear and presses the trigger.
Tony stands across the room...Tony whispers..."You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, you never know dear, how much I love you, so please don't take my sunshine away."...he then leans down and kisses her again, then turns towards Ziva and walks to her.
"Why are you crying, Ziva?"
"Because you are the greatest man ever."
"Heh. I try."
She kisses him and hugs him.
"Hey, you two, get a room."
"Gibbs?" ...both of them together...they look around the room..."What the.."
"I'm up in my office...behind your ear Abby inserted the new covert earwig and mic...works pretty good, don't they?"
"Pretty neat, huh, guys?"...as she grins..
They both nod at Abby."
"Oh, Tony."
"Yeah, Boss."
"Nice job on You are My Sunshine, but keep your day job."
"He heard that?"
"I did, too." ...Ziva smiled
Later that day
--------------
CIA agent Felix steps of the elevator and into the squad-room, Tony sits at his desk.
"You wanted to talk to me? Have you decided?"
"Yes, WE have, but I need to ask you a few questions about Mi Suki."
"Go on."
"What was she working on?"
"She was working on something completely separate and she just happened to come upon Ami Hofi."
"I don't buy it, a CIA operative just happens to run into one of the best assassins in the world in Georgetown?"
Felix pauses...
"Look, we're going undercover for you...looking for an assassin for YOU. It's pretty damn evident we need to know everything and I mean EVERYTHING."
"You have to give me your word on this. This is beyond top secret."
"Your not gonna finally admit to killing Kennedy or something are ya?"
Felix chuckles..."I don't even have that high of clearance."
"And they say CIA agents don't have a sense of humor."
"We don't, we chuckle and say, 'I don't even have that high of clearance.' then we look at you and smile."
Tony rises..."NCIS agents like to beat up people who smile and lie to us."
"Fine, she was working on Granger Aeronautical, there's chatter that someone in the company was leaking intel."
"What kind of intel?"
"F-25, Fire Eagle Project."
"I've never heard of that."
"No one has, outside of high level DoD and Granger Aeronautical members."
"What tipped you off?"
"Mi Suki was handling Chinese decryption and it just happened to come around her desk."
"So, the Chinese are the ones who are trying to steal it."
"We believe so."
"And they killed her just because she read something?"
"She immediately went to her boss, who then told the CIA director. The next day, she was dead and that was the same day we got intel that Ami Hofi was stateside."
"Have you checked out your people?"
"I'm doing that as we speak."
"We'll do it, but we're gonna need a few things."
"Just name them."
"At least 5 million in cash, you want us to look like rare artifact sellers, we're gonna need some rare artifacts...mostly Israeli or Arabic...we'll need satellite clearance from you, I need my people on board for this..."
"I think I can pull all that."
"Also, I'm gonna need something very special..." ...as they walk off
Tony sits on his bed, as Ziva walks in.
"I got you a new dress, it's hanging up in the bathroom."
Ziva walks into the bathroom..."Not a chance in hell, Tony!" ...she yells from the bathroom
"My shirt is the same color, Z."
"No, Tony." ...as she walks back into the bedroom..."You know I hate that color."
"But you look so good in it."
"I do not."
"Do, too."
"I do not."
Tony grabs her by the wrist and pulls her into him..."You smell good enough to eat."
"I'm still not wearing it."
He rises, picking her up in one motion, then lies her down on the bed and moves his mouth to her lips, but doesn't kiss her...he blows on her lips, moving along her jawline and nibbles on her ear.
"Nope, not wearing it."
He leans back a bit, unbuttoning her pants very slowly, lowering his head and kissing every new area he uncovers.
She looks directly in his eyes..."No, Tony."
He grabs the end of her pants and pulls, revealing a pair of white panties, he leans down kissing her navel, his fingers slide along her hips, he twirls his fingers around the slim string of her panties...the camera moves over her head, looking straight down, the sound of cloth moving, Ziva's eyes close and she moans...her breathing heavies, then she sits up...Tony meets her with a kiss.
"I hate you, Tony." ...she grins..."I'll wear the damn thing."
She places her hand on the top of his head..."You aren't done yet." ..as she starts to push him...and the screen fades to black
-------------
Tony stands in the middle of wooden dock, his back is to the camera, his suit is white, the sound of waves splash into the cement wall...a black suitcase sits next to Tony.
Ziva appears wearing a long black trench coat..."We missed the launch, Tony."
"That was my plan."...he pauses..."Our ride is coming soon enough."
"Our ride?" ...Ziva asked, as she pushed a curl from her face, her hair was up, expect for a few loose curls that hung along the side of her face.
Tony turned his head, looking at Ziva...revealing he was wearing sunglasses..."You got me, McGee?"
"Roger that, Tango 8. MTAC is up and running. Zulu 8 is crystal clear. "
"I haven't heard that in awhile."
"I do have a problem with Zulu 8's camera, though."
"She's not wearing it yet, McGee."
"Wearing what?" ...Ziva wondered as she walked over to Tony...as a helicopter came into view...she raises her hand to try to block out the sun in her eyes..
"It's a surprise." ...he puts his arm around her shoulder..
The helicopter lands..."Come now, our ride has arrived."
Tony and Ziva sit in the helicopter as it flies over the Atlantic.
"When did the ship leave, Tony?"
"6 hours ago."
"Why all this?"
"I want to make a grand entrance."
"Why?"
"Here." ...handing her a 12x12in box...
"What is it?"
"Open it."
She opens it and inside is a diamond necklace..."Whoa. Holy..."
"Here, let me put it on for you." ...Ziva turns her body away from Tony and he places it around her neck... "Absolutely stunning."
Ziva runs her fingers along the numerous diamonds..."This must've cost a fortune."
"5."
"Sir, the Cruise Ship Chaos is in sight. Preparing to land."
"Only 5 bucks? Ha! It's a fake, camera right?"
The helicopter lands...the blades stop spinning and Tony steps out, his shirt is a light pink, he wore a creme colored tie...he holds out his hand...helping Ziva out...she steps out, her pink stiletto heels hit the wooden helicopter pad as she opens up her trench coat, she's wearing a spaghetti strap pink dress, which showed off her cleavage, the back of her dress was cut low, the V shape showed off her perfectly tanned back...the dress hangs just past her knees, it's form fitting around her hips.
She looked stunning, but she hated pink, but Tony loved it on her. He placed his hand in the middle of her lower back and just held it there...they walk down the steps to an awaiting porter, "Luggage?"
"Just this." ...Tony handed it to him.
They followed the man to their suite...
Tony tilted his head and whispered in Ziva's ear...
Ziva looked at him..."5 million!?"
"Heh." ...his hand still on her lower back, as she started to shake a bit...he kissed her shoulder..."Diamonds are a girl's best friend."
The man opens the door and walks inside, setting down Tony's suitcase, then hands Tony the electric key card.
Tony reaches into his pocket and takes out a money clip...he licks his fingers and take 3 100s off the top, handing them to him..."I'd like 2 bottles of your most expensive champagne, some strawberries and chocolate and any info on any high stakes poker games going on..."...Tony turns to Ziva, who stands near the bed, she leans against it, feeling how soft it is..."Do you want anything, baby?"
"Make sure there kosher...and I'll need an appointment for a full body massage tomorrow morning, a masseuse, please."
"Aww, yes...as Tony take two more 100s from his money clip and hands them to him."
"Right away, sir."
He closes the door and Tony walks up behind Ziva and grabs her around the waist.
"No."
He kisses the nape of her neck and she moves her head to right, opening up her neck to him, he continues kissing her, he moves his hands to her thighs, slowly starts to inch her dress upwards...she quickly turns around...
"No, I spent 15 minutes trying to get my breasts to look perfect, I'm not going to let you mess that up in 10 seconds."
Tony bats his eyes and frowns...
"The puppy dog eyes aren't gonna work, as she pushes her dress back into place."
He leans in and kisses her...but she pushes him back..."You'll mess up my make up."...as she turns to the mirror to look herself over.
Tony sits on the bed and pouts...she turns her head..."I'm sorry. Later.." ...as she walks to him, he grabs her hips and rubs his face up her stomach, along the smooth material of her dress.
She smacks the top of his dead…"Watch the balloons!"
"Balloons?"
"That is another name for them, yes?"
Tony shrugs...as he lies back on the bed..
"You need to check, Tony."
Tony sits up and sighs...then walks to his suitcase...he opens it, then clicks a button that reveals a secret compartment...he takes a piece of hardware and moves around, waving it over things...
There's a knock on the door...
"Who is it?"
"Your champagne, Ma'am."
"Coming." ..as she makes her way to the door
Tony finishes up..."All clear." ...he moves back to his suitcase, he places it back into it's compartment and then closes it.
Ziva looks back at Tony...then opens the door..."2 bottles of our best champagne, strawberries and chocolate." ..as he rolls in the tray, then leaves...
"My massage?"
"I have you scheduled for tomorrow at 10a.m., a 2 full hours of pampering, Ma'am."
"Thank you, as she closes the door."...she pauses..."Who in the hell does he think he is, calling me ma'am?" ...she exhales angrily...
Tony walks over to the tray and picks up a strawberry..."Hungry?"...walking over to her, offering her the strawberry.
She looks up at him..."You're making it very hard to work, ya know?"
He bites the green stem off it and spits it on the ground, he then places one end of the strawberry in his mouth and leans down...she takes a bite of it and they kiss...he then backs up, but she grabs him...
She sighs..."Go ahead, mess me up."
He looks at her then grins...
A man dressed in a porter's uniform and a woman in a server's uniform sit in a room speaking Hebrew, as she types on a laptop.
"Did you hack the passenger list yet?"
"Almost done."
The man paces back and forth...constantly rubbing his mustache with his ring finger and thumb, he has brown curly hair and is wearing glasses. She has black-as-coal hair, long and straight and has a red hair clip in the back.
"Got it."...she looks through the passenger lists...
"Anything promising?"
"Married couple?"
"That would be best."
"Here's one...nope, they've already placed an order for room service."
"Did they leave the room?"
"Doesn't look like it. The door has been opened twice, once arriving and once when room service came."
"Check them out, I have to get back."
-------------
The woman walks to the suite 106 and knocks on the door...there's no response.
She takes out a master electronic card and opens the door.
Tony and Ziva lie asleep on the bed, Tony lies on his back, a pillow rests on his face.. Ziva lies on her stomach, sheets cover her lower back and downward.
She moves silently to the dresser picking up Tony's pants, taking out his wallet...she looks at his ID, then his business card...DiNozzo's Rare Artifacts, he has a Washington D.C. and Tel Aviv office...she puts his ID back and keeps one of the cards and leaves the room.
She walks down a long hallway and takes out her cell..."They're perfect, I even think his wife is Israeli."
"They haven't left the room yet?"
"No, they're sleeping."
"Grab the woman, we might need her to get off the ship."
"And the man?"
"Dispose of him."
"DiNozzo Rare Artifacts, may I help you?"...a woman replied
click
The woman dials a number..."Director Gibbs, someone has made contact."
------------
"McGee open up a channel to Tony."
"Open."
Snoring is heard...
"DiNozzo?"
"Yeah, Boss?"
Snoring continues...
"Wow, your little Israel flower sure can snore."
"Yeah, tell me about it."
"Someone made contact with the number we set up for your fake business."
"We haven't given any cards yet, Boss."
"Then someone has been in that room."
"Just a porter."
"Is your wallet missing?"
Tony gets up and grabs his pants and takes out his wallet. He opens it up..."Wallet's still here, but there's something wrong, it was in my back left pocket, I always put it in my back right pocket."...he shrugs..."Oh well."
"Just be on the lookout."
Snoring continues...
"She really need some breathing strips or something Tony."
"I'm out, Boss." ...as he lies back down.
"Cut it McGee."...the channel closes
Tony puts the pillow back over his head...Ziva's snoring seems to be getting louder...
Tony moves the pillow from his head and places it on Ziva's head...the snoring is softened a bit..
"The hell with it, I can't sleep...I'll take a shower." ..Tony gets up and goes into the bathroom and jumps in the shower.
The woman walks up to the door and opens it...Ziva still sleeps and shower is heard in the background
She moves into the bathroom, it fills with steam as she makes her way over to the door, she crouches as Tony sings in the shower.
"Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor...and I love you, you have made me what I am...and I am yyyyyyyyyyourssssssssss."
She takes off her clothes and opens the door and presses her front against his back and squeezes him around the waist, not letting him turn around.
"Sleep well?"
She doesn't answer...
She kisses his back and rubs her hands all over his stomach and chest
"You're ready to go again, huh? Can't get enough of the...big D?"
She brings her right hand back and places it on her hair, where she starts to remove a short nail like item, she moves it into her fist, clutching it, just so the pointy end sticks out of her hand.
She draws back her hand...
Tony quickly turns around and catches her hand coming forward, he squeezes her wrist, making her drop the weapon...he places his right hand on her throat.
"Nice."...as he looks downward..."You're smaller than my wife...in that department."
Tony pauses..."You also smell like you smoke 3 packs a day...such a dirty girl."...as he squeezes a little harder moving her under the water...water pours over head, as she spits out water onto Tony's chest.
He moves her back and she looks into his eyes...then knees him in the groin...Tony lets go of her throat and she tries to escape, but Tony grabs onto her hair and yanks her downward, her body makes a thud, then slides halfway across the bathroom. Tony grabs her hair again and she scratches him on his stomach with her fingernails, drawing blood.
"Bitch!" ...as he tossed her back into the shower, steam now filled the room completely. She runs and jumps on Tony, kneeing him in the stomach. She knocks him down and grabs the nail weapon on the ground and tries to stab him in he chest, he kicks her off to the side, he starts getting up when she jumps on him, wrapping her legs around his waist and starts squeezing as hard as she can, her hands move to his face, her thumbs trying to poke out his eyes. He swings her over to the bathroom sink, he pushes her back and smashes the back of her skull into the mirror, then again and again. The mirror now broken with blood dripping from it. Tony moves to the side and she falls to the ground, she crawls and tries to get up using the toilet, Tony slams down on the seat, hitting her head, her face falls into the water as Tony gives the toilet seat another slam and her neck cracks and her body goes limp.
Ziva opens the door as Tony leans forward against the wall trying to catch his breath..."Problems?"
"You snore."
Tony buttoned his shirt over his newly bandaged stomach..."Another scar for the collection."
Ziva puts away the first aid kit and then kneels in front of Tony, who's sitting on the bed and she lies her head on his lap..."What are we gonna do with the body?"
"Did you fingerprint her and get a DNA sample?"
"Yes, Abby should have them already, if I sent everything all right on that new thingy."
"The doo-dad?"
"How Gibbs of us."
Tony shrugs..."We can toss her overboard?"
"No, maybe we can make it look like she fell down the stairs...you can break your neck doing that, yes?"
"What about the busted mirror?"
"Hmmm, good point."...she pauses..."we can cut the back of my head and we'll tell them I hit my head while making love."
"That's a pretty big busted area, Z."
"The BIG D strikes again!"
"heh. Sound like a name of porno."
"Yuck! I hate porn, except for that one movie you made me."
"That was a one time thing, Z and Abby still doesn't know the real truth how her inflatable doll was popped."
"Maybe you should be called, the Big pointy D."
"Not funny."
She laughs...
"Zee-vah!"
She continues laughing...
Tony sighs...
Tony walks back in their suite.
"What did you do with her?"
"I left a little surprise for Gibbs."
"You tossed her overboard, didn't you?"
"Maybe."
"Tony!"
"Yes, dear?"
"Why!?"
"She has a cut on the back of her head...and what happens if they start asking questions, especially with you having the same exact cut on the back of your head, which would mean, we'd be wanted for murder and you know that I'm too pretty for prison."
"But you're a federal agent."
"Yes, but I feel safer knowing she'll be in the hands of Gibbs."
"How, do tell, do you guarantee Gibbs will be the first to get her."
"I have my ways, Zee-vah!"
"Why did I marry you again?"
"The sex."
"That has to be it, it really does."
"Oh come on, you know you love me."
"Sometimes it's hard to love you, Tony."
Tony goes silent..."You know Kate wrote that about me in her diary."
"You read it?"
"Yes, the night of your miscarriage...I was feeling lousy and I went to the office and it just happened."
"Oh, that's where you went?"...as she walks over to him and hugs him...
"It's ok, she thought I was crazy, she hated me, but...she loved me...and...well, damn did she love the sex."
"Tony!"
"Shutting up, dear."
----------------
A large duffel bag floats in the middle of the ocean...it has 4-5 life jackets attached to it...a phone rings inside...the camera zooms it on the clear plastic...a note reads:
"To Gibbs (NCIS),
Handle with Care: Plague Inside.
Love, T"
It continues to ring...
Ziva's cell rings...Abby is on the phone...
"The prints you sent came back to a Mossad officer, her name was..."
"Don't you mean Ex-Mossad?"
"Nope, she was definitely still in, she was actually on vacation. What happened to her?"
Ziva sighs..."She's dead, Abby...Tony killed her."
"Where's Tony?"
"He's taking a shower, his last was interrupted by the now-dead Mossad officer."
"She took a shower with him?"
"No, just attacked him while he was in the shower."
"That's so not cool. Is he alright?"
"Yeah, he has a cut on his stomach, but he fine."
"I'm glad he's ok."
"Abby, he actually through her body overboard."
"Oh, no wonder he left her cell phone on, we're tracking it by her GPS chip right now. It also looks like someone is trying to call it."
"Can you tell who?"
"No, it's blocked, McGee is working on it, but it's super high tech and Mossad isn't helping, even Gibbs can't get them to budge...but I can tell you it's coming from your area, so the person is on that ship."
"What's the name of the Mossad officer?"
"Ahuva Nava."
Someone knocks on the door.
"One sec, someone's at the door, Abby."...Ziva walks over and opens it and Ami Hofi stands there..."Oh, you were the porter who helped us earlier, is there a problem?"
He looked around the room..."No, I just came here to tell Mr. DiNozzo, that a high stakes poker game will begin at 10p.m. tonight after dinner...tell him, the buy-in is 500,000 dollars."
"What time is it now?"
"7:15 p.m, dinner starts promptly at 8."
"Could you bring another bottle of champagne and my husband will tip you when you get back."
"Yes, of course." ...and Ziva closes the door..."Ok, Abby, I'm back."
Ami Hofi stands still, his face just inches away from the door...behind him he holds a gun with a silencer on it...he puts it back into his waist band and takes out his cell phone and calls...it rings...and again...and again...no one answers..."Where in the hell is my wife?"
"I put the suitcase in the safe, got the combo?"
"Yes." ...as she walks out of bathroom..."I'm ready." ...she's wearing only a bath towel.
Tony takes out his knife..."You sure about this?"
"Cut me."...as she turns around...Tony lifts his knife...
"I can't do it...I can't hurt you again."
Ziva grabs the knife from him..."Wait, Ziva.."...she brings it to the back of her head and slices without thinking, blood starts to flow down her head and she starts screaming...
She holds out a towel...
"What?"
"Naked now." ...as she screams again..
Tony quickly undresses and puts the towel on as Ziva moves back into the bathroom, she sits on the bathroom sink and places her hand on her head and brings it forward and makes bloody hand marks on the towel.
Tony goes to the door and opens it and yells..."Help me, my wife is bleeding."
A porter runs in and sees Ziva..."I'll get a doctor."...and runs back out.
Tony moves to the bathroom, where Ziva smears blood all over his hands and chest.
"Z, I look like I beat you."
"Just act worried."
"I am worried."
Ami Hofi runs in..."Sir?"
"My w-wife hit her head on mirror while we were making love and we couldn't stop the bleeding."...Tony grabs Ami by the arms and smears blood all over him..."Help us, please."
Just then the doctor runs in..."What's wrong!?" ...Tony lets go of Ami and puts his hands on the doctor, smearing blood all over him, as well...
"My wife..."
"Ok, let me take a look."...he moves over to Ziva and has her lean forward..."Aww, it's just a scratch, maybe 2 stitches...nothing to be worried about."
"Really!? Thank you, sir, thank you." ...as Tony hugs him..
"Sir, I can have that mirror replaced immediately."
Tony turns to Ami..."Yes, thank you." ...as Tony walks into the bedroom and grabs his wallet.
"No, sir, that will not be necessary."
Tony wipes his face, leaving a blood smear across it..."Are you sure?"
Tony sits on the bed and covers his eyes with the palm of his hands and sobs.
Ami looks at him for a second...then leaves...
-------------
Ziva walks back into the room...as Tony stands, redressed, his hair wet..."2 stitches, honey...and hey, they already replaced our mirror."...and she closes the door.
"A little over-acting don't you think?"
"I got the mirror replaced didn't I?"
Ziva pauses..."True...where are you going?"
"It's almost 8, aren't you hungry?"
"I could eat a corpse."
Tony pauses..."What?"
"You know, creatures with 4 legs, cowboys ride them."
"Oh, you mean a horse."
"Yes, horse."
"Corpse?" Tony shakes his head..."What the hell?"
Tony and Ziva walk along the railing of the ship's deck, she's back in her pink dress..."My feet are killing me."
Tony stops, which makes Ziva stop..."What is it Tony?"
He pushes her back against the railing and drops to one knee, he quickly takes both of heels off and tosses them overboard.
Ziva turns around and watches her shoes disappear..."Why did you do that?"
He massages her left calf, slowly moving up her leg...she lifts her leg, putting her foot directly in the middle of his chest...then extends it pushing Tony back..."You sure are horny little munchkin today."
Tony rises and leans in, Ziva's upper body hangs over the railing as Tony kisses her.
Ziva turns around and Tony presses himself against her back, massaging her shoulder...and he whispers in her ear..."Are you cold?"
Ziva looks at the moon..."No...but you know, this would be really romantic if we weren't working."
The sound of a man puking is heard...as they turn to their left and see it.
"Or maybe not."...she takes Tony by the hand..."Take me dinner, shoe killer."
------------
They walk into the dining room and are greeted by a woman..."Two please."...Tony hands her a couple 100s..."The best seat in the house, if you would."
"Right this way." ...she leads them up some stairs to the outside...a man at a piano is playing, 6 torches flicker lighting the darkened area...they are seated and she leaves..
"No, I was wrong...this is romantic."
"Isn't that Granger?"
Ziva quickly looks..."I believe so."
A waiter comes..."Sir, your food will be ready in moments." ...as he leaves bread and pours them a glass of wine and offers it to Tony to taste.
Tony tastes it and nods…"Very good, sir." ...Tony raises 2 fingers...and the waiter nods..then leaves...
"What did he mean our food? We haven't ordered yet."
"I've already taken care of that, Z." ...he leans over and kisses her shoulder..."I'll be right back."...then rises and walks over towards Jericho Granger...
His bodyguards stop Tony..."Mr. Granger is not seeing anyone."
"Oh, sorry, we have the suite right next door to his and we had an accident today and I just want to apologize if we disturbed him in anyway."
"And you are?"
"Anthony DiNozzo, I'm a rare artifact dealer, here's my card."...he extends his arm and Jericho takes the card.
"I heard about your accident. I'm sorry to hear your wife was injured. Your meal will be on me."
"Oh, that's not necessary."
"No, I insist...it is my ship after all."
"Oh, thank you very much, Mr. Granger."
"Jericho, please."...he pauses..."Do you gamble at all?"
Tony laughs..."I've had blowfish once."
"As have I, it's truly awful."
"Indeed."
"Well, there's a Texas Hold 'Em event right after dinner. The buy-in is $500,000."
"I would have to talk to my wife about that."
"Yes, of course...but do tell her, it's winner take all, 4.5 million."
"That'll buy her a lot of shoes, that's for sure."
Jericho laughs..."Women do LOVE their shoes."
"Thank you, Mr.Granger...I mean Jericho."
Jericho lifts his glass..."I hope to see you later. Eat well."
Tony walks back to Ziva..
"What was that about?"
"I'm in."
"Your chocolate mousse cake, madam." ...as the waiter places it in front of Ziva
"Toda."
The waiter pauses for a moment..."Anything else?"
"Nope."...As Tony takes out a couple 100s and hands them to the waiter.
"Thank you, sir...here, let me take your dirty dishes." ...he picks up their dirty dishes and leaves..
"What exactly am I suppose to do at this poker thing, Tony."
"Just stand behind me and look absolutely amazing."
"Why?"
"Come here."
"What?"
"Straddle me."
"Here?"
"Yes."
She rises and straddles him...Tony swipes a little of the chocolate mousse from her cake and brings it to her mouth, she takes his fingers into her mouth and sucks them clean...he takes another scoop of chocolate mousse onto his finger and brings it to her mouth, but he drops it on her cleavage.
"Oops!"
"What did you do that for?"
Tony lean in and licks it off.
"Delicious and the mousse wasn't bad either."
"Tony, people are looking at us."
"Exactly, boobs do that."
"Yes, but which boob were they look at, you or mine?"
"Does it matter?"
"Tony, they couldn't even see my boobs."
"I know, I just wanted some of your cake."
------------------
The waiter holds a water glass carefully by the rim...he ducks into a room, the waiter takes out a laptop and sets it up. He puts the glass in a square container, adds a couple chemicals and closes it. He sets up a new area which includes fingerprinting equipment and puts on some latex gloves. The man rips his skin off his face, revealing himself to be Ami in disguise. He opens the container and takes out the glass, a couple fingerprints show up in white. He takes a fingerprint scanner and scans it into his laptop and it runs it through Mossad's IBIS system.
SEARCHING...
Anthony DiNozzo, NCIS...it shows Tony and information about him.
Ami yells as he smashes his laptop into pieces...continuing to pound on it with both fist until they start to bleed...he starts breathing hard, his teeth smashing together...tears flow down his face...he breaths harder, spit starts to fly out of his mouth...he throws the smashed laptop across the room, he gets up and looks into a mirror and sees Tony's face in the mirror and he punches it over and over again..."You're dead. DEAD!"
Tony and Ziva walks up to a man who stands by a private gaming room. She's now wearing Tony's suit coat.
"Do you have the buy-in?"
"Yes." ...as Tony lifts up his suitcase and holds it as Ziva opens it and takes out 50 packs of $10,000 stacks of 100 dollars bills.
"Sorry, can't have the suitcase, I gave it to him for a gift."
"That's fine." ...as he calls someone over to collect the money." ...the guy gives him a nod…"You may both enter, but you must stay behind him at all times or you may go to the bar.
"Understand." ..Ziva answered...and they walk in.
"Anthony! You made it."
"Tony, please, Jericho."
"Of course, of course. Take any seat you like."
Tony sits and Ziva stands right behind, she leans down..."McGee is on his way to MTAC." ...as she hands him his sunglasses.
Tony looks at Jericho...holding up the sunglasses..."I need all the help I can get it."...as he puts them on.
Jericho puts on a pair of sunglasses himself..."It's all about tells and eyes are always the first that give it away."
A black man sits to Tony's left...his hair graying...Tony extends his hand..."Good luck."
He doesn't react...Ziva moves to the bar..."He's an ass."
A man in a cowboy hat sits on the other side of Tony...Tony extends his hand again...and he shakes it.
"Nice to meet, ya!"
"Good luck to you."
"Rupert Jamerson's the name. Poker's my game."
"Tony DiNozzo, poker's not my game."
"HAHA, good thing you're sitting next to me then, huh?" ...and he slaps him on back
"He seems friendly...do you want me to bring you a drink?" Tony bring his hand to his face then moves his head, left to right."
"Ok." ...as Ziva takes a seat at the bar
Jericho rises..."1 more player to go...then we can start." ...he calls the guard over..."Did he give a name?"
"Yes, lets see...Anthony DiNozzo."
"Oh no, he's already here." ..as he points to Tony.
Then a deep voice says..."I'm Anthony DiNozzo." ...as a large man walks into the room...
Tony turns around..."Dad?"
Ziva quickly moves to Mr. DiNozzo..."Dad!"
"Aww, my sweet daughter-in-law."
She kisses him on the cheek..."We're undercover...laugh when I pull away."
Mr. DiNozzo laughs..."Your wife sure is funny, son."
Tony rises..."What are you doing here, dad?"
Ziva walks back to the bar..."I told him we were undercover, Tony."
"I'm on my honeymoon."
"What!?" Tony and Ziva together.
"I have a new mom?"
"You sure do."
"Where is she?"
"Being pampered, she'll be joining us soon enough."
Jericho clears his throat.
"Oh, I'm sorry...this is my father."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. DiNozzo."
"Anthony, please."
Jericho nods...and holds out his hand..."Dealer, if you would."
The dealer sits at the table, there are 9 people sitting at the table..."Welcome to the 1st Chaos Texas Hold 'Em winner takes all tournament...just a few announcements before we begin: there will be no re-buy ins, rounds last 30 minutes, the big blind starts at 1,000 and it will double with every new round.
"Tony, can you hear me? Just nod your head." ..as Tim sees through Tony's camera on his sunglasses
Tony nods his head.
The dealer deals out one card up to everyone at the table...looks like Mr. Jamerson is on the button." ..the dealer tosses him the button chip.
"Woohoo! Lucky already!"
Tony turns his head towards Mr. Jamerson and..."Heh."
"You're on the small blind, Tony. Toss out a 500 dollar chip."
"He knows how to play poker, McGee."
"Sorry, just making sure."
Tony tosses out a 500 dollar chip...as he pops his neck...as the dealer deals out the cards..
Tony looks at his two down cards..."A of Diamonds, 5 of Hearts."
The dealer lays one down then flips over 3 cards..."King of Spades, 3 of Hearts and Queen of Hearts."
"50, 000."...Tony bets
"What are you doing, Tony!?"
They all fold
"Jeez, Tony, that was dumb."
Tony tossed his two cards up...showing everyone what he had.
Tony then studied their reactions..
"Oh, I get it...smart, Tony. Well, not really."
Ziva brings her hands up to her face..."McGee, we don't need play-by-play."
"Sorry, Ziva."
"Bartender, some coffee please...it's gonna be a long night."
"Right away, Mr. Granger."
The dealer deals the next hand...
"Big hand for Mr. Jenkins."
The black man beside Tony stands and leaves..
"There are only 4 people left."...the dealer throws away the old deck and opens a new one..
Tony, his father, Mr. Jamerson and Jericho Granger are the only players left. Tony is the short stack, he has about 400,000 left.
"I'm all-in, in the dark."
"What?" ...as Ziva puts her hands on Tony's shoulders..."Can you do that?"
Tony stands as she puts her hands around his waist and leans her head so she can see the table.
"I'll call you, in the dark, Tony."
"Why, thanks, Jericho." Tony lets out a chuckle..
The dealer deals...everyone looks at their cards, except Tony.
"I'll raise...1,000,000."
Mr. Jamerson pushes in the chips.
"Too rich for me, I fold. Good luck, son."
Jericho pushes in all of his chips..."I'm all-in."
"Call." ...as Mr. Jamerson pushes in all his chips.
The dealer gathers all the chips..."3 players." ...he places 1 card down, then flops over 3 cards..."A of Spade, 5 of Spade, Queen of Hearts."
The dealer knocks on the table, places another card down and deals the turn..."4 of Spades."
"Possible flush."...as he knocks on the table again...places another card down then flips over the river card..."10 of Diamonds."
"I have 2 pair, A's and 10's." as Mr. Jamerson showed his cards.
"I have a Ace high flush."...as Jericho flips over a K of Spades and a Q of Spades."
"Dang, my luck ran out...nice hand." ...as Mr. Jamerson grabs his hat and lifts it slightly.
"And you Mr. DiNozzo."
Tony puts his hands on his cards...he closes his eyes and flips them over and a eerie gasp comes over the room.
"His cards suck."...everyone looks at his cards, then look oddly at Ziva.
"What?"...as she raises her hand.
"Mr. DiNozzo has a 2 of Spades and a 3 of Spades, he wins the main pot with a straight flush."
"What, he won? How!?"
"HOLY..."...McGee screams in MTAC
"Heh. Lucky."
"Lucky indeed."…As he takes in his side pot...over 2 million in chips..
Tony gathers in the 1.2 million in chips.
"It's the DiNozzo's against me, I see."
"Bartender, Vodka Martini, shaken, not stirred."
"Right away, sir."
Ziva leans down..."You're not James Bond, ya know?"
"Heh...no, but I feel like him...and hey, that makes you a Bond girl."
She grins..."Ziva, Ziva Galore."
Tony laughs...
"Attention: the tournament will continue in 5 minutes."
Tony walks over to his dad and they talk to themselves.
A young woman walks into the game room and waves..."Dinky!"
"There's my baby now."...Mr. DiNozzo opens his arms to her.
"Dinky?"
"It's cute, isn't it?'
"Dinky?"
She runs over and jumps in his arms..."I've missed you."
She sets her down..."Tony, I'd like to introduce you to Suzy."
"Hiya, mom."
"Mom?"
"Yes, he's my son."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, it's nice to meet you, Suzy."
Ziva walks over..."Is there a problem?"
"Aww, Ziva, this is my wife, Suzy."
Ziva looks at her..."What are you 25!?"
"I'm 19."
"Wow, dad. Wow."
"She has amazing skin."...Ziva starred at her.
"I just got a 2 hour massage. IT IS TO DIE FOR!"
"Tomorrow, Z. Tomorrow."
Tony leans into his dad and whispers something into his ear...
Tony's father looks at him oddly.
Tony nods at him...as Ziva and Suzy walk to the bar.
"I can't believe how good your skin looks."
"I love your hair."
"Why, thank you."
"And that dress."
"You hate it, don't you?"
"Not at all, it looks great on you and pink is my favorite color...but where are your shoes?" ...as she looks down.
"It's a long story."
"When did you become such a woman, Ziva?" Gibbs asked.
"That's a long story, too."
"What?"
"Nothing."
Suzy looks at the bartender..."I'll have a long island ice tea."
"Do you have an ID?"
"Sorry, no."
Ziva looks at him...
"Coming right up."
"DiNozzo's, we've got some new info...we retrieved the body Tony left for us. She had sexual intercourse today, so she is with someone on that ship."
Tony coughs and covers his mouth..."DNA?"...cough..
"Not in the system."
"I'll be right back, Suzy."
"Ok."
Ziva walks away from her..."Mossad still not helping us, Gibbs?"
"Tony killed one of their agents, what do you think?"
"What!?"
"Tony..."
"He didn't know?"
Tony sighs...
"Like I told Abby, why would a Mossad agent on vacation attack Tony? She has to be working with The Chameleon."
Ziva bumps into a porter..."Oh, it's you."
"Yes, Mrs. DiNozzo. I was actually looking for you, there's a problem with your suite. Can you please come with me?"
"Yes, of course...I have to tell my husband and I'll be right with you."
"Yes, I'll wait right here."...he runs his fingers over his mustache slowly
Ziva walks over to Tony..."There's a problem with our suite, I'm gonna go take care of it."
"What?"
"I'll be back."…As Ziva walks back to the porter, then leaves..
"No, wait."
The dealer starts to deal..."The button is on you, Mr. DiNozzo."
"Mr. DiNozzo wins another pot."
"Seems I'm the short stack now."...Jericho sounding discouraged
The dealer deals again...
Tony looked at his cards..."A of Clubs and K of Clubs."
"Raise...$500,000."
Tony's father looks at him...then at his cards..."Nope." ...as tosses his cards in the middle..
"Call." ..Jericho pushes his chips in the middle...
The dealer places one card down and flips over three for the flop..."Queen of Spades...King of Diamonds...4 of Hearts."
Jericho hit the table.
"Mr. Granger checks."
"I'm all-in."...Tony tosses the rest of his chips into the pot."
"Call."...Jericho flips over a pair of Aces
Tony tosses over his Ace and King.
The dealer hits the table, places a card and deals the turn..."Jack of Clubs."
"Possible straight for Mr. DiNozzo...Mr. Granger still leads with a pair of Aces."
----------
"Someone heard something breaking."
"Probably the mirror, wasn't installed correctly or something."...as Ziva unlocks the door and walks in
The porter walks in behind her and hits her over the head with the butt of his gun...he leans over her..."He took my wife and I'll take his."
----------------
"We just lost Ziva's camera, Tony."
"What!?"
Everyone looks at Tony...as the dealer hits the table, places a hard down and starts to turn over the river...then stops..
"Everything all right, sir?"
Tony races out of the game room...
"Flip it over."
"Yes, Mr. Granger." ...he flips it over..."King of Spades...Mr. DiNozzo wins with three of a kind, Kings...big hand for Mr. Granger."
--------------
Tony arrives outside his suite and opens the door..."Ziva!?"...he moves quickly into the bathroom...but she's not there...Tony looks down and see the diamond necklace lying on the ground, it has some blood on it...Tony kneels and picks it up..."ZIVA!"
Tony moves to the safe and takes out his suitcase...he opens the secret compartment and takes out his gun...he puts in a clip and cocks it.
"Where is she, McGee!?"
"Last imagine we had was her heading into the suite."
"The porter...Ami...did you get a pic of the porter when I looked back at Ziva when she left!?"
"Let me take a look."
"Hurry, Tim!"
Tony paces back and forth...clicking on and off the safety of his gun...his cell rings...he answers..
Ami is shown still in his porter disguise, Ziva is tied a chair with her mouth bound and gagged.
"Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo."
"Who the hell is this!?"
"The man who's going to kill your wife."
click
Rage builds inside Tony...his eyes swell...his face turns reddish...
"We got it, Tony...I'm sending it your phone."
Tony opens his phone...and sees the pic of the porter...and he runs out of the door.
-------------
Ziva awakes...muffled noises come from her...
Ami stands with his back to her looking at a cell phone...pictures of Tony, LJ and Sarah are seen as he scrolls through Ziva's phone..."You have beautiful children."
Ziva struggles to get loose.
"My wife and I never had any"...he pauses..."I think when I'm done with you two, I'll make sure you don't either."
He turns around..."But I don't think you'll mind, since you'll be dead."...he punches her in the face, knocking her out.
--------
"Tony, Ziva's cell phone is on."
"How the hell is that suppose to help me, McGee!?"
"It has a GPS chip."
"Yeah, so?"
"You're right on top of her."
Tony stands on the deck...Tony turns around in circles..."Where, McGee!?"
"You got that layout of the ship, McGee?" ...as Gibbs walks back into MTAC.
"Come on, McGee!"
McGee starts typing..."Right under you is the staff quarters...did you hear me Tony?"
Gibbs watches Tony run down stairs after stairs...
-----------
Ami walks back into the room, Ziva is still unconscious.
"Still not awake, I see."
"Ziva!!" ...is heard in the distance
"He's looking for you...he must love you very much."...he pauses..."Ziva? Hmmm, Ziva...David?"
He laughs..."It keeps getting better and better."
"Your father made my life a living hell at Mossad."...he kneels in front of her, he grabs her legs and forces them apart, he then takes his knife out and slices up her dress, then rips it the rest of the way. Ziva continues to struggle as he grabs her by her ankles and pulls her to the edge of the chair.
"Ziva!"...still in the distance, but getting closer
He turns to the door..."I don't have much time." ..as he runs his hand up along the insider of her thigh..."I'm going to enjoy this."...as he stands and starts to unbuckle his pants...she quickly extends her leg sharply, kicking him in he groin...he immediately backhands her, knocking her and the chair to the ground, her nose bloody, but doing so, her gag comes out and she screams...
"TONYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
He quickly kicks her in the face, knocking her out. He lifts the chair, he grabs her by the hair pulling her head back..."You stupid bitch!"...then continues to unbuckle his pants.
He starts to unzip his pants when Tony burst through the door and spears him, knocking him into the closet, clothes and boxes fall on top of him, as Tony moves to Ziva, he puts his hand on her face, when Ami grabs Tony from behind with a piece of wire, it digs into his skin as he pulls Tony back. Tony's throat starts bleeding as Ami yanks as hard as he can, so hard his hands have started bleeding. Tony forces Ami backwards into the door, he slams his head back, hitting Ami in the face. Ami elbows Tony in the middle of the back making him fall forward as Ami opens the door and he leaves.
Tony moves back to Ziva, she's still unconscious. Tony runs out the door, a man points towards the stairs. Tony runs up the stairs and Ami throws a trash can at him, Tony knocks it away with his hand as Ami comes at with a fire extinguisher, Tony lifts his left arm as it connects with him. He shrugs it off, Ami then throws it at him, hitting him in the chest, which knocks him down a flight of stairs. Ami runs off again as Tony gets up and runs after him.
Tony runs through the door, making his way onto the deck of the ship, Ami ambushes him, hitting him in the stomach with a wooden oar knocking him him to his hands and knees. Ami kicks Tony in the ribs, then again. Tony rows out of the way, he gets to his knees as Ami tries to kick him again, but Tony catches his foot, tosses him backwards. Ami does a nip-up and charges a now standing Tony. Tony moves, grabbing Ami's arm and hurls him toward the railing. Ami stops himself, grabbing onto the railing, just as he turns Tony hits him with a shoulder block, they both fall over the railing.
They both fall 20 feet to the pool below. Ami grabs Tony by the back of the head and tries to hold him underwater. Tony struggles, the blood from his throat flows into the pool, swirls of blood cover the top of the water, then they disappear as the water splashes. Ami starts elbowing Tony in the back of the head and on his back until Tony is no longer moving. Ami makes his way to the edge of the pool and pulls himself out. He lies by the pool gasping for air.
Tony's lifeless body floats in the pool.
Ami lies by the pool, he breaths deeply as a porter runs up to him..."Are you ok?"
"Yes, but I couldn't save the guy who drowned."
The porter looks..."What guy?"
Ami quickly turns around and looks into the pool...only blood remains...he looks to his right as soaked Tony kicks him in the face.
"Sir, why did you do that?"
"My name is Anthony DiNozzo, I work for NCIS. This man is a terrorist, go tell Mr. Granger right now."
"Sir?"
Ami tries to get up, but Tony kicks him again..."NOW!"
The porter leaves...Tony lifts his arm, gesturing Ami to get up.
Ami just lies there..
Tony backs up a few steps...and gives him the gesture again.
Ami gets to his feet.
Tony pulls the gun from his waistband and aims it at Ami, then takes the clip out and tosses it into the pool, he slides the slide back ejecting the round from the chamber, he catches it and tosses it in the pool. He then lays his gun on the table.
Ami lets out a small laugh..."You want to go hand-to-hand?"
Tony looks up at him and doesn't say anything...
Tony takes a few steps forward...then pulls his knife...then stabs it into one of the tables..
"You've got to be joking." ...as Ami takes his knife out
Tony just stares at him..
"Fine, it's your funeral."
Tony takes a few more steps towards Ami...
"Aren't you gonna say anything?"
Tony takes a few more steps forward..
"Tell me, was it you or your wife who killed my wife?"
Tony continues to stare at him...
"It was your wife wasn't, she's Israeli, she's not a coward like you."
Tony takes another step forward...Tony flicks his tongue...then punches Ami in the face, knocking him back..
Ami jumps at Tony stabbing downward with his knife, Tony moves out of the way grabbing his left hand and flipping him over, he punches him in the face again.
A frustrated Ami gets up..."I was 5 seconds away from raping your wife."...as he charges again thrusting his knife towards Tony. Tony grabs him by the hand, snapping it, he drops the knife and Tony pulls him to ground and Tony punches him in the face again.
Ami gets up, shaking his wrist...they begin to circle each other...
"It's broken isn't it?"
"He speaks."
Tony stops...
Ami lunges forward, Tony grabs him by his other hand, pulling him down, punching him in the face.
Ami gets up again...shaking both wrists..
"Oh, I broke the other one, too?"
Ami moves to the table, grabbing Tony's knife...he throws it at Tony...misses him badly..
"That was pathetic. Like your wife."
"What!?"
"Did I stutter, bitch?"
Ami runs at Tony and Tony clotheslines him...Ami lands on head, quickly kneels on Ami's chest, putting his knee on Ami's throat.
"She tried seducing me, she got in the shower with me."...Ami gags..."What? Too tight."...Tony eases up his knee..."Where was I? Oh yeah, she gets in the shower with me."...Tony punches in the face again..."She washes my back with her boobs, that was great, until the bitch tries to stab me, then I had to kill the bitch with a toilet seat."...Tony punches him again..."Yep, a toilet seat."...Ami thrusts his knee into Tony's back, knocking him off, he rolls and get back to feet almost instantly.
Ami rises, his bloody face, his eyes filled with tears of vengeance, he spits blood and what seems to be a tooth..."Ben Zona!"...he runs full speed at Tony. Tony grabs him around the neck with his left hand...Ami falls away, his stomach bleeding...Tony holds a bloody knife in his hand...he kneels on top of Ami again...
Tony holds the knife up to Ami's face..."This is my wife's knife."...he slides the tip in one of Ami's nostrils..."Who hired you?"
Ami is silent...Tony pulls hard making a huge gash in his nose.
Ami screams...Tony puts the tip of the knife in his other nostril..."Who...hired...you?"
"Before you don't answer...guess where I'm heading next? You have 2 of them, as well."
Ami lays his head back..."kill me."
Tony yanks the knife again...blood squirts from Ami's nose as he lets out another scream..
"What was it you said about raping my wife? Aww screw it,"...as he stabs Ami viciously in the crotch.
Ami lets out a blood-curdling scream...
"Tell me or I'll make you sure stay alive."
Ami starts to pass out and Tony smacks his face..."Don't die on me now, we were just having fun."
Ziva walks up behind Tony putting her hand on his shoulder...Tony turns as Ziva fires twice, hitting him once in the chest and once in the head.
"Kalba!"
Tony takes the gun from her...as she tries to shoot him again...he stands and hugs her...as she kicks him..
"He's dead, Ziva."...he squeezes tighter...
"I wish I still had on my shoes, I could've stabbed him with the heels."
"Remind me not to piss you off."...Tony lets go..
Ziva looks at Ami's brutalized body..."Likewise."
Tony lies on a bed as a man attends to his neck, his eyes are closed. The man presses some gauze against his neck then leaves.
"Tony?"
Tony remains silent
"TONY!"
Tony awakes..."I'm in position, Boss!"...Tony pauses..."I think."
Tony looks around the room..."Where the hell am I?"
"You're in the infirmary, Tony."
Tony looks to his left and Ziva sits in a chair covered by a blanket, her hair is wet.
"What happened to you?"
"I retrieved your magazine and gun."
"Your camera is still online Tony, but it's pitch black."
"I must've lost my glasses while fighting with Ami, Boss."
"I found them." ..Jericho Granger said as he walks through the door..."Your father also asked me to give you this."...handing Ziva a briefcase...he then takes out the glasses from his inside coat pocket and lays them on the table next to Ziva.
"Thank you."...Granger nods, then moves over to Tony.
"Alright, we got a visual again."
"So, you two saved my life."
Tony tries to say something...but just gibberish comes out...
"Don't try to talk, Tony...the morphine must be kicking in."
"Ziva, remove all the Vaseline."
"What?"
Tony tries to speak again..."bas...turd."...then he falls asleep.
McGee looks at Gibbs in MTAC..."What was that about, Boss?"
Gibbs softly smiles..
-----------------
The next day...
-----------------
Tony still lies in the infirmary...Ziva sleeps beside him in the bed..
Tony's father walks into the room carrying a briefcase...
"Ziva..."
Ziva wakes..."It's 10 am, sweetheart...it's time for your massage."
"No, I can't do that."
"Go ahead, you need it, I'll watch him."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Ziva gets on the bed and leaves the room.
Tony's father sets down the briefcase next to Tony's, then holds his hand..."You mother had grayish-green eyes, son. She was the love of my life. Did you know she had a Elvis Presley tattoo on her butt cheek?"...Tony's father laughed.
"God I miss her."...he pauses..."You got a good woman, son. I'm glad you're not like me, you're a good man, a better man than I ever was."...he pauses again..."Tony, it's all in the briefcases."...he leans down and kisses Tony on the forehead as Ziva walks back in.
"I forgot..."...Ziva looks at Tony's father, then he hugs her...
"He adores you, my dear."...and he kisses her on the cheek and leaves..."Take care of him, for me, capisce?"...he gives her a smile..
What Tony's father didn't know was that Ziva heard everything he said...she lifts one of the briefcase and opens it...it's completely stuffed with money.
Tony grabs her hand...
"What is it Tony?"
"No...pud...ding."...then falls back into slumber.
"No pudding?" ...Ziva stands there with a confused look on her face.
