"Very Special Agent DiNozzo"
--------------------------------------

Chapter 1: Special Agent DiNozzo!
--------------------------------------------

A tall, slim woman dressed all in black stood away from a crowd of men. Her dark hair in a pony tail, it swung back and forth as she stretched her neck. She suddenly drops, doing the split.

"Y'ouch."…The leader of the men yelled…"That's hot."

She reached forward, stretching; she held the stretch as the men looked on.

"Hey, you know who that is…don't you?"…An older man said moving towards the men who were watching her.

"Of course, we do…we aren't idiot."

"It's your funeral."…He took a step forward…He shook his head…"Ziva?"

The woman placed her hands in front of her and pressed down, she lifted her body upwards, doing a handstand, when her feet are vertical, she hops, twisting her body in air, landing on her feet towards the men.

She smiles at the older man and walked towards him…"Point out the man making the cat calls, please."

The older man pointed at the leader of the men…she grinned…"Toda."…As she walked towards him.

-----------

The elevator dings, Reid steps off…"Boss, she's at it again."

Tony sat at his desk, he slowly turned his head…he shook his head…"Where?"

"Gym."

Tony stood, putting his hand on his back…"I'm getting too old for this shit."…He grunted, moving to the elevator joining Reid.

---------

Tony and Reid walked through a door; a man was laying on the mat groaning in pain.

"I don't see her boss."

"Follow the bodies, doc."…Tony moved past the man and moved towards a large gathering of people.

Tony moved aside a couple guys, a man does a spinning back kick at the woman, she grabs his leg, turns it and elbows him behind the knee. He falls to the ground, grabbing at his leg…"Ah! You bitch!"

She straddles his chest and is about to punch him.

"Special Agent DiNozzo!"

She turns her head and smiles.

She turns back towards the man under her...she slides down his body, placing her knees between his legs…she presses her knee against his groin hard.

The man groans…"Call me bitch again and my knee isn't so nice next time."

She slaps him across the face and quickly stands, moving towards Tony…she smiles again.

"How many times do I have to tell you, stop beating up the agents."

She kisses Tony on the cheek…"I'm sorry, Daddy."

------------

Chapter 2: Daddy!
------------------------

Tony sat at his desk, his head down…he looked up…Sarah stood in front of him wearing all black, including a black leather jacket.

"Smile, Daddy."…She said with a grin.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"Um, Gibby didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"I'm your replacement."

"Oh, hell no!"

"Come on daddy, the Pentagon team was boring."

"I put you with McGee for a reason."

"I love Uncle Timmy, but damn…that was a glorified desk job."

"Sarah."

"Dad, I want field experience!"

"And what makes you think you're ready for it?"

"I was the #1 rated graduate from FLETC, I'm an expert marksman, master in Krav Maga, I speak 5 languages fluently, plus I can get by in a few others, my mother was a Mossad assassin, my father one of the best federal agents in the world, I'm beautiful, smart, sexy and most importantly, my godfather is the director of NCIS!"

Tony looked up at her..."That's it?"

"Daddy!"

"Yes, Pumpkin?"

Sarah cocks her head to one side and frowns, she bats her eyes.

"Look away, Tony…look away…you know you can't resist the puppy dog eyes."…As Tony turned away.

Sarah moved to his side, leaning…Tony put his hand up, trying to block her.

"Daddy!"…She sighs…"I'm calling mom."

Tony turns back, seeing her puppy dog eyes…"Damn it."

She continuing making the face.

"Sarah…for the last time, no."

"I'm calling mom for real."…As she turned around.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no."….He gets up, moving towards her quickly.

She turns, holding up the phone…"It's for you, Daddy."

He grabs the phone, putting his hand over the receiver…"Fine, Sarah…but you stay with me at all times, you hear me?"

She bites her lips and nods.

Tony removes his hand…bringing the phone to his ear…"Dominoes, may I help you?"

Click

Sarah stood there grinning…"Gotcha, Daddy."

Tony moved back to his desk…he sat down, Sarah remained standing in the middle of the bullpen.

"So, ummm, where's my desk?"

Tony looked at her, then nodded his head towards Ziva's old desk…"Take your mom's old desk."

She chuckled…"Cool."

She moves quickly behind the desk and sits down and spins around a couple times, before putting her boots on the desk, stopping herself. She leans back in her chair and slides on a pair of sunglasses.

"Sarah!"

Sarah looked up at, Gibbs stood on the balcony…"Gibby!"…She drops her feet and moves to the stairs and up them swiftly…she runs into his arms.

"How you settling in, kid?"

"Oh, pretty good."…As she hugs him again.

"You get your firearm?"

"Yup."

"Badge?"

"Hmm-Mmm."

"Your dad knows."

"Yeah, told him."

"What about your mom?"

"Uh..."

"You didn't tell her, did you?"

"Uh…not yet."

Tony laughed…but quickly stops…"You're in a lot of trouble, young lady."

"Aww, Dad."

"Don't look at me, I'm not telling her."

Sarah turns to Gibbs…he's halfway back into his office.

She looks back at her father…she frowns, she bats her eyes.

"Heh. Don't even think about it, I already fell for his once, not again."

"Daddy."…She said sadly.

Tony lifts his cell phone…"It's for you, Princess."…He smiled.

Sarah puts her hand on the railing, her mouth drops open…"Daddy!"

----------------

Chapter 3: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
-----------------------------------------------------------

The door opens, Tony steps into his house, Sarah peeked around the doorway seeing Tali sitting on the couch…"Is the coast clear?"

Tali didn't response, she was too busy watching TV.

Tony moved to the closet, hanging up his coat, he drops his bag on the floor… "Daddy's home!"

"Hey, Daddy."…Tali remained on the couch watching TV.

"Whatcha watchin', Pumpkin?"

"Movie."

Tony moved to behind the couch, he leaned down kissing the top of her head, he looked at the TV…"Is that Scarface?!"

Tali leans her head back…"Yup."

"How old are you?"

"11 and half."

Tony reaches down, grabbing the remote control…he stands up and is slapped on the back of the head.

"Eeeeeeeek. Love you, honey."…He clicks the power button.

"Daddy!"…As he turns around.

Ziva stood shaking her head…"LJ?"

"Who else?"

"Other than you, yes?"

Sarah tries to sneak up the stairs.

"Sarah DiNozzo, front and circle!"

Sarah stopped in her track, she turns and moves slowly down the stairs…"Front and circle, Mom?"

"She means front and center, Sarah."

"Oh!"

Ziva held her finger down, pointing in front of her…Sarah looked at it…"Did you spill something?"

"Now!"

"Ummm, indoor voice?"

Ziva glared at her...Sarah nervously chuckled..."Sorry."

Sarah moves to in front of Ziva…She lowers her head…Ziva extends her hands, she caresses Sarah face…she lifts her head, kissing her on the forehead…"Good girl."

Sarah smiled.

"Go get ready for dinner and get your brother ready, too."

"Which one?"

"The one that doesn't work at Blockbuster."

Tony grinned…"Heh. Hey, he's also in film school."

"He also smoked a half a jar of oregano, Tony!"

"He was 15, boys experiment."

Ziva sighs, she moves into him, kissing him, she sniffs…"You stink, go wash up…dinner is in 10 minutes."

Ziva turned and returns to the kitchen.

Tony grabs Tali and lifts her off the couch and puts her down on her feet…"Go wash your hands for dinner."

"Okay."…Tali takes a step, then stops…"Daddy?"

"Yeah, baby?"

"What's a bong?"

Tony looks up, he pats Tali on her head…"Go on, wash your hands."

Tony walks up the stairs...a loud rumbling comes from the third door on the right. He moves to it and knocks. There's no response, he knocks again.

Tony opens the door…"LJ."…He quickly closes it as he sees two people having sex under covers.

"Daddy!"

Tony turned as a little boy ran and jumped into Tony's arms.

Tony faked grunted… "Awww, you're getting so big."…He kisses him on the forehead…"How was school today, buddy?"

"Great, I kicked ass at recess!"

Tony sets him down and knelt on one knee…"Dante, what did I tell you about cussing?"

"Don't do it when mommy is around?"

"Heh. Yeah."…He rubbed the top of his head.

Tony looked up…A girl with pigtails walked down the hall…"Katie, what are you doing here?"

"Mom sent me over, she wanted to spend time with The Spence."

"Come here."…She moved over to Tony and hugged him…"I thought you liked Spencer?"

"I do, but since the new baby…neither of them have done much with me."

"Awww."…Tony hugs her again…"Speaking of which, where is the little rugrat?"

"He stay with them…just me tonight."

"You know you're always welcomed."

She smiled…."Can I have another hug?"

"You know you never have to ask."…He hugged her.

"Thanks, Dad."…Tony kisses her on the forehead and stands.

Tony hits LJ's door…"Dinner in 5!"

Tony turned, picking up Dante as Katie ran towards the stairs…"Slow down, Katie….so, what are we having for dinner, buddy?"

"Chicken nuggets!!"

"Heh. My favorite!"

Tony walked down the stairs…a girl screams, Tony sets Dante down and moves back up the stairs.

Sarah walked down the hallway grinning, waving a polaroid.

"What did you do now, Sarah?"

She giggled walking past Tony…LJ steps out into the hall, wrapped in a sheet…"Damn it, Sarah!"

"LJ…"

"Oh, hey…dad."…He grabs his door and shuts it quickly.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, just taking a nap."

"Sarah…come here."

"Daddy?"

"Bring me the photo."

Sarah laughed moving back to Tony… "Here, Daddy."…She handed him the polaroid.

Tony brought it to his face and looked at it, then quickly turns it over…he looks at it again…"No, it can't be."…He looked at LJ and he shrugged.

Sarah continued to laugh.

"Sarah!"

"Shutting up, Daddy."

"Bring the poor girl to dinner."

"Really?"

"Yeah…and Sarah?"

"Yeah?"

"Stop totally owning your brother."

"Ugh, that was so 20 years ago, dad."

"Damn, I'm…old."

-----------

Tony sat down at head of the table.

"Can we eat yet? I'm starving. I only had like 9 donuts today."…Sarah remarked.

"9?"…Ziva said in shock.

"Yeah, the Navy yard team actually eats donuts, the pentagon team usually had 2 dozen donuts and I'd eat 15 or so."

Ziva shook her head…"How do you not weigh 200 pounds?"

"I dunno."…As she wolfed down several chicken nuggets at once.

"And you wonder why you've never had boyfriends?"

Sarah swallowed…"I thought that was because of dad and his shotgun?"

"That Timmy McGee is a nice boy."

Tony spit out his beverage.

"You okay, Tony?"…Ziva started to rise.

Tony held his hand out…he coughed, he pounds a couple times on his chest…"Y-yeah."

LJ walks through the door.

"It's about time you joined us, LJ."

"Sorry, Mom."

LJ reached his arm out, behind the wall.

"Who you hiding there?"

"Come on, Em…"…He urged her to come out.

"Em?"…Ziva wondered. Sarah starts to chuckle.

Tony stood…"Come on in, Emily…come and join us."

Ziva turned to Tony…"Emily."

She walked out from behind the wall.

Ziva looked at her…"Emily Fornell?!"

"Heh."

Tony quickly slaps Sarah on the back of the head.

"Eeeeekie!"

----------------

Chapter 4: Donuts and Dorks
-------------------------------------

Sarah sat with her feet on her desk, she was on the phone painting her fingernails pink…"Oh, come on…he is SO not that dreamy, girl…are you blind?"…She laughs…"Yeah, talk later, boo."…She hands up the phone and blows on her fingernails.

The elevator dings…Reid steps out…"Hey, Spencie."

Reid walked by, his head remained straight ahead.

"Spencer?"…Sarah said, dropping her feet to the ground, she stood and moved towards him…"You okay? Abby? Caitlin? The baby?!"

Reid sat at his desk…"Just tired."…He looked up at Sarah…"Did you know, on average, humans are asleep 24.6 percentage of their life?"

Sarah just stared at him.

"Did you want to say something?"

Sarah moves to him, she pats him on the top of the head with her palm…"Dork."

She moves away from Reid, back towards her desk…"Want a donut? Coffee?"…As she continued to blow on her nails.

"Yeah, that would be nice."

"Cool, get me some, too."

Sarah sat at her desk and smiled.

Reid stood, grabbing at his tie…"Cream and sugar, right?"

Sarah laughs…"I was kidding."

"Oh."…Reid slowly sat down.

"Mmmm….a donut does sound good, though."

Reid quickly stood back up…"Yeast or jelly?"

Sarah shook her head…"Again…joking."

Reid sat back down…"Sorry, my mind is all screwy."

Sarah leans against her arm…"Hmmm, jelly sounds good."

Reid stands again.

"Sarah."

Sarah smiles and looks up at the balcony…"Yes, Daddy?"

"What have I told you about pestering Reid?"

"It's your job, Daddy."

"Heh. Affirmative."

Tony walks down the stairs…"Reid, you want anything?"

"I could use a cup of coffee, Boss."

"Cool, get me some, too."

Sarah laughs.

Reid sighs as he stands.

"Reid, wait."

"Boss?"

"She-probie."

"Daddy!"

"Go with his him."

Sarah stands and sighs…"Do you have to call me she-probie, Daddy?"

"Do you have to call me daddy?"

"You're my daddy."

"Yes and you're my she-probie."

Sarah walks to the elevator…"Come on dork."

"Heh."…As Tony moved to his desk.

------------

Sarah and Reid arrive at The Donut Hole.

They get line and wait…"I feel like such a cop."…As she opens her coat, revealing her pink shirt.

"Uh, Sarah…you are a cop."

"Shut up, Reid."

"Sarah?"

Sarah turns…"Timmy?"

"Tim now."

"What's it been, Timmy? A year?"

"About that, last Christmas."

"How have you been?"

"Pretty good, just got a promotion, I actually have people working under me now."

"It's about time you got someone under you."

Tim sighs.

"Oh, Timmy…you know I'm just bustin' your balls."

"Please, stop calling me Timmy."

She moves her hand to his hand…"You'll always be Timmy to me, you're like the brother I never wanted."…She playfully smacks him on the face.

"Why do you do that, Sarah? Make fun of me."

"Maybe because you like it?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You keep coming back, don't ya?"

Timmy turns and walks away.

"Sarah…I think he likes you."

Sarah turns to Reid…"Ya think, Reid?"

Reid shakes his head…"You know, you're just like your dad."

She grins…"I know, isn't it cool?"

"No."

She smacks him on the face.

"Ow."…He starts to rub his face…"What did you do that for?"

"No one talks about my dad."

"Even your mom? Gibbs?"

"No comment."…She turns back, looking at Timmy…"Spencie, get the stuff…I think you were right, I better go talk to him."

"You got it."…As she walks towards Timmy.

"Hey! Wait up!"…She dashes towards him.

Timmy turns…"Wanna make fun of me again?"

"Naw, just wanna talk, Tim."

He smiles…"I've been wanting to ask you something for a long time."

"Hmmm?"

"Will you go out on a date with me?"

Sarah starts laughing…Timmy sighs.

"Oh, you were being serious?"

He lowers his head…"Yeah, but I guess you don't care."

"Oh, no…no, it's just that I never looked at you in that way, Timmy."

"Does that mean you'll go out with me?"

"Awww, Timmy, why do you wound yourself over me? Like you have a chance, McGoo 2!"

Timmy shakes his head…"Why do I even bother?"

Sarah sighs…"Where would you take me?"

"Umm, dinner and pizza?"

"Heh. Pizza, hmm? My tummy's liking you more every second."

He turns…"I'd like to touch your tummy."…He said quietly to himself.

"What's that, Timmy?"

"Yeah, it'll be real yummy…then it's a date? I'll pick you up at 7?"

Sarah smiles…"But I pick the movie, not one of those shitty chick flicks."

"Yeah, no problem!"…he said excited, he turned running into a trash can…"See ya, later, S-s-sarah!"…He quickly picks up the trash can and leaves.

She turns and walks back towards Reid…"So, you going out with him?"

"Yeah, it should be fun."

"Why do you give him such a hard time then?"

Sarah grinned…"Why do I give you such a hard time then?"

"Because you're dad's my boss?"

Sarah lightly taps him on his cheek…"You're pretty smart…for a genius."…She chuckles.

She looks around.

"What?"

"Where the hell are the donuts?"

Reid sighs…"I knew I forgot something."

Sarah shook her head…"I'll get 'em, you always pick healthy ones anyway…donuts are like bacon, they're suppose to kill ya."

-----------------

Chapter 5: Decked
-------------------------

The elevator dings, Sarah and Reid step off…she walks over to her father's desk, setting down a couple donuts.

Tony looks up…"Jelly?"

Sarah sits, holding a box of donuts…"Of course, daddy…you're favorite."

Tony's phone rings..."DiNozzo."

Tony stands, hanging up his phone..."Gear up!"

Sarah opens the box, moving her fingers over top of them…

" Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Catch a donut by it's hole
Which one will I pick before I go.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe."

Tony walks by Sarah's desk, Reid is close behind. The elevator doors open.

"Come on, Sarah."

"I can't choose."

Sarah grabs a chocolate one, putting it in her mouth, she grabs her bag, then moves to the other side of the desk, she grabs another donut before sliding through the doors just in time.

The elevator doors open, Sarah licks on her fingers.

Reid shook his head…"I can't believe you ate two donuts in less than 20 seconds."

Sarah steps out, she shrugs…"Can I drive?"

"Sure, Pumpkin."…He tosses her the keys.

Reid turns to Tony…"Boss?! I have a child to support."

"Don't worry, Doc…she doesn't drive like Ziva, I taught her."

"Oh, thank heavens."

Sarah starts the car and drives off.

"Uh, Boss…I think she's forgetting us."

"Ya think, Reid?"

Tony takes out his cell and dials…it rings once before being answer…Sarah chuckles.

"Sarah, this stopped being funny the third time you did to your mother."

Sarah continues to chuckle and a horn honks.

They turn around, the black 4-door Cadillac sat idling…Sarah grinned as she stuck her head out the window eating a donut.

"Shotgun!"…Reid said, moving to the passenger side.

Tony shook his head…"Where'd you get that donut?"

"Found it in the box on the seat."

"That's like a day old, baby."

"Yeah, it's not very good…kinda stale, but you can eat it."…As she took another bite.

She swallows…"Where we going anyway?"…She quickly finishes off the donut.

Tony opens the door behind the driver's side and gets in…"345 Maroon Dr…domestic disturbance, known wife beater, the MPs would usually do it, but it's off base."

Sarah gunned it, sending Tony and Reid flying back into their seats…"BOSS!"

-----------

Sarah steps out of the car…"Why all the screaming, Spencie?"

"I dunno, it could've been the three times we almost died, Sarah!"

Sarah yells…"Oh, come on…it wasn't that bad!"

Tony stood behind the trunk…"Sarah."

She turned..."Yes, daddy?"

He held up a piece of slim body armor…she sighs…"You always wear it; it's a rule for a reason."…She moves to her father and takes it from him. She unzips her jacket and takes it off, she starts lifting her pink shirt.

"Sarah, you can put it over your shirt."

Sarah laughs…"I forgot where I was for a second."

Tony shook his head as Sarah slid the armor over her pink shirt…"It's kinda snug around the neck."

"You'll get used to it."…As he handed her back her jacket. She puts it on; grabbing her hat…she puts it on backwards.

"Now can we go?"

Tony turns her hat around and lightly taps her on the back of the head.

"Sorry, dad."

He kisses her on the temple…"Come on."…Tony moves towards Reid, who was looking at a small screen…"Who we after, Doc?"

Reid touches the screen…"Dr. Brad Pitt."

"Brad Pitt?!"…Sarah said excitedly.

"Not that one, she-probie."

"She-probie?"…She mouthed to herself; then shook her head.

They walked along the path to the front door…"Emma Pitt has numerous hospital visits, ranging from broken wrists, bruised ribs, facial contusions to several mild concussions."

Tony stops…"Did you say Emma?"

"That's what it says here, Boss."

"Do you know her, Dad?"

Tony moved to the door, he knocks…a woman slides out.

"Tony?"

Tony shook his head…"Emma? You married Dr. Pitt?"

"Dad, who is this?"

"Dad?"…Emma looked at Sarah…"Tony DiNozzo has kids?"

Sarah laughs…"He's got a boatload."

Tony turns towards and glares at Sarah.

She leans back…"Sorry…Boss."

"Boss?"…Reid said looking at Sarah, she shrugged.

"Where is he, Emma?"

"Don't…it's not his fault."

"Where is he, Emma?"…Tony said his hand on her left arm; she grits her teeth in pain.

"Boss, we got a runner!"…Reid yelled as he dropped his bag and ran towards an older man running down the driveway.

"Don't hurt him!"…Emma reached out her hands towards.

"I'll help him, Dad."…Sarah said, dropping her bag and following them.

Reid tackles the man…pushing him into a car. The man turns around, punching Reid in the face, dropping him. Reid moved his hand to his face…"Ow."

The man stood over him; he raised his foot to stomp and was met with a foot to face, knocking him onto the hood of their car.

Sarah moves to the man, grabbing him by the shoulder, standing him up…he punches her in the mouth, turning her face, knocking her hat off.

"Sarah!"…Tony screamed, moving towards her.

Sarah slowly turned her head back, she jabs him in the throat with her hand, she grabs his hair and forces her forehead into his nose, making it explode, finishing him with a knee to the groin. He drops to his knees, holding his groin.

Sarah turns, her face and jacket covered in blood…she extends her hand towards Reid…she helps him up, he leans down picking up her hat, handing it to her.

"Toda."…She spits blood out of her mouth.

Tony stood in the middle of the yard…"Are you okay, Princess?!"

She spit again…"Please don't call me that in public, dad."

"Why? Embarrassing you?"

"Annoying."

"Heh."…He shook his head…"You are your mother's daughter."…He said quietly to himself.

"Brad!"…Emma yelled, running towards her husband. Tony grabbed her shirt, she ran through it, ripping her shirt off, she was only wearing a bra…revealing bruises all over her arms, chest, stomach and shoulders.

Sarah shook her head, she turned back to man…"You like hurting women, huh?"…She knees him under the chin, knocking him back against the grill of the car, his head laid back, he was out cold.

Emma ran to him, she knelt next to her husband…"What did you do that for?!"

Sarah turned and started to walk away…"Pissing me off."

Sarah moved to her father…"Mine, too."…He hugged her.

"What?"…She said looking up at him.

"Nothing."…As he handed her a handkerchief.

--------

Sarah stepped off the elevator; her hair was down, wearing her pink shirt and black jeans. She was rubbing her jaw.

"Get all the blood off you?"

"Yeah."…As she moved to desk…"For an old guy, he hit pretty hard."

She sat down and looked at her monitor; she typed... clicked on something and smiled.

She clicks on something else, her head moves back…"What the hell?"

"Something wrong?"…Tony asked his daughter.

"No, no…just checking my myspace page."...As she quickly clicks delete on her screen.

She starts typing for several minutes, then clicks her mouse."…She stands…"Can I go, Dad?"

"Yeah, I'm almost done with the paper work."…He looks over at Reid…"You can go, too."

"What's gonna happen to that dirtbag?"…Sarah asked.

"He's going to jail this time, he assaulted two federal officers."

"And her?"

"Hopefully Emma gets help."

"How do you know her anyway, Dad?"

"Long story, Pumpkin…some other day."

Sarah moves to father and kisses him on the cheek…"Okay."…She moves back and grabs her bag, turning off her light.

She moves to the elevator and leaves with Reid.

"Tony…"

Tony looked up…"What's up, Gibbs?"

"How those retirement papers coming?"

"You'll have them by next week."

Gibbs nods as he takes a drink of his coffee…"How'd Sarah do today?"

Tony sighs…"I hate to say this, but she's gonna be a damn good agent…but, I wanted more for her."

"We all do, Tony…we all do."

-----------------

Tony turned the door handle and walked into his house, he tosses his bag into the closet…"Daddy's home!"

But no one came; he heard talking from the kitchen. He walked into the kitchen, everyone stood around, Ziva stood in front of a seated Sarah.

"Stop moving, Sarah."

"Mom, I don't want to wear makeup!"

"What's going on?"…Tony moving into kitchen.

"Sarah has a date."…LJ said moving in behind Tony.

"Shut up, LJ!"

Ziva turned…"She does."

"Mom! I told you, it's not really a date and I don't want to wear makeup!"

"With who?"

"Timmy McGee."…Ziva said with a smile.

"No."

"What?"…Ziva said as everyone looked at Tony.

"You want me to beat his ass, pops?"…LJ asked as he drank from the milk cartoon.

"LJ, how many times do I have to tell you not to do that!"
"Sorry, mom."

"Yeah, we don't want your cooties, LJ."

"I don't have cooties, Sarah!"

"Yeah, you probably have herpes!"

"Sarah! Quiet!"…Ziva yelled as she applied lipstick.

Sarah stood…"It's not a date, dad…we're just gonna see a movie, eat some pizza."

The doorbell rang, Tony moved to the door…he looked through the peep hole, he shook his head…"Not a date, my ass."…As he opened the door, Timmy stood wearing a gray suit, holding flowers.

"Oh, hey, Mr. DiNozzo."…He said moving his hand through his hair.

Tony turned, walking back towards the kitchen…"Sarah…it's your date."

Sarah moves out of the kitchen…"I told you…it's not a…"…Sarah stopped seeing Timmy…she looked down, she was wearing jeans an Ohio State hooded sweatshirt and red tennis shoes…"A little overdressed, don't you think?"

Timmy shrugged.

Sarah shook her head, her hair in a pony tail.

Tony moved past her…"I don't like this, Ziva."

"She'll be fine, Tony."…Ziva said kissing him…"Let her go."

Tony sighed…she kisses him again…"Tony."…She grinned.

"Okay, okay."…Tony moved out of the kitchen..."Tim, home by midnight."

"Dad, I'm 21!"

"And you still live in my house!"

"Yeah, but I don't want to!"

"Blame your mother."

Sarah walked out the door…"I do."

She heads slaps Timmy…"Lets go."

--------

Sarah and Timmy walked out the theater.

"Heh. God, I love action movies."

"Really? I thought the plot was lacking."

"Hello, McObvious, it's an action movie!"

"Yeah, still…ready for dinner?"

Sarah patted her stomach…"You better believe it…where we going?"

"Marios."

"My favorite place!"

"I know."…He smiled.

--------

Sarah licks her fingers.

"Wow, 8 pieces, Sarah?"

"So?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Sarah peels some cheese off the tray and eats it.

"Still hungry."

"Always, Timmy."

Timmy raises his hand…"Another, please."

"Coming right up, Sir."…The man behind the counter said.

Sarah smiled…"Thanks, Tim."

"My pleasure, Sarah."…He stares at her.

"What you looking at?"

"Something beautiful."

"Oh, stop it."

"It's true."

She shook her head…"How's your dad?"

"Fine, I guess…don't see him much."

"He seeing anyone?"

"Not sure…hey, can I ask you something?"

A man places a pizza down on the table.

"Grazie!"…Sarah said with a smile.

"Prego."

Sarah looks at Timmy…"What were you saying?"

"Nothing."

"Okay."…As she takes another slice of pizza and starts eating it…she opens her mouth…"Hot."…She tries again…she once again pulls the piece out…"Owie"…She takes another bite…"So good!"

Timmy shook his head…"You know you can wait."

Sarah blew on the piece of pizza, quickly taking another bite…her mouth opens, sucking in air…"Yeah, but…what's the fun in that, huh?"

"Sarah?"

"What's up?"

Timmy gritted his teeth.

"Spit it out, Timmy."

"It's nothing."

Sarah shrugged as she took another bite of pizza.

-----------

Sarah and Timmy walked towards the front door.

"Thanks, Tim…I had a good time."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I really did."

"Can we….ummm, maybe do this again?"

"Maybe."…She smiled.

"Sarah?"

"Yeah."

"Can I kiss you?"

"I dunno, can I punch you?"

He laughs…he takes a step towards her, kissing her.

She pulls away and punches him, decking him.

Sarah looked down at Timmy…"Was it worth it?"

Timmy rubbed his face…"More than anything."…He smiled.

Sarah shook her head, she turned…"Good night, Timmy."…As she moved into her house.

Chapter 6: Reasons
------------------------

LJ stood in front of his father, holding a basketball.

"Come on, Dad…I thought you were good at this."

LJ pump fakes, Tony jumps and LJ dribbles around his father and dunks the basketball.

Tony looked up at his son hanging on the rim.

"I'm getting too old for this shit."

"You cussed, Daddy!"…Tali said watching them play.

"Don't cuss, Angel."

"But you just did."

"Do as I say, not as I do."…As he moved to LJ…"The sun was in my eyes."

LJ laughs…"Want me to do it again?"…He throws Tony the ball…"Check me."

Tony watches as LJ walks around him and back to the top of the key…Tony throws him the ball. LJ dribbles past him and dunk it again…he drops down and moves back to Tony…"So, what's your excuse this time, pops?"

"I'm an old fart."

LJ laughs…"Tell me something I don't know."

"You're 6'5…you're taller, younger and have two good knees."

"True."

"Only thing I have left is my good looks and my hair."

"Really? I heard mom talking about your bald spot."

"Where?!"…Tony exclaimed, moving his hand to the top of his head.

LJ laughs.

"You little shit."…Tony grits his teeth…"I know, I cussed."

Tali grinned.

"Winners out, old man!"…LJ laughed.

"Emily Fornell? For real? You trying to get your dad killed? Heh."

LJ shrugged as he moved back to the top of the key; Sarah and Ziva walked out of back sliding door…"For the last time, Sarah…NO!"

Tony, LJ and Tali turned to them…"Mom!"…Sarah yelled.

"How many times do I have to tell you, huh?!"

"Ani sonnet at, ima!"

Ziva's eyes opened wide, she quickly slaps Sarah across the face…"How dare you!"

Sarah moves her hand to her face and walks towards the barn.

"Ziva!"…Tony said moving towards them…"Sarah, stop!"

Ziva sighed…"Sarah."…She reached out for her, but Sarah keeps walking.

Tony hurries past Ziva…"I'll talk to her."

Sarah walked into the barn, Tony quickly follows her in. Sarah stood by a stall, her hand slowly stroking a horse's mane…"You still love me, don't ya, Bert?"

"Sarah."…Tony said as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"Please, Dad…not now."

Tony puts his other hand on her other shoulder and turns her, she was crying…Tony hugs her…she starts crying on his shoulder…"Why does she hate me?!"

"She doesn't hate you, baby."

She pulls her head back, Tony wipes away her tears…"Shhh, it's okay. Shhh."

"W-why does she treat me like a child? I do nothing right in her eyes!"

"This about moving out again?"

Sarah buries her face back into her father's shoulder.

"Come on, Sarah."…He stroked the back of her head…he sighs…"I'll talk to her, okay?"…He kisses the side of her head.

She pulls back…"Really?"

Tony caresses her cheek…"I promise."…He kisses her forehead.

Sarah smiles…"Thanks, Daddy."

"Come on, I have a gift for you."

Sarah slides her hand along Bert's mane one last time…"See ya, Bert."

--------

Tony opened his safe…Sarah stood behind him; he turned holding a box…"Agents aren't getting these for about a month, but here."

Sarah took the black box from her father and sits on the bed and opens it…she grins…"I love it!"

"Heh."

Sarah pulled a gun out of the box.

"It's the p239."

She sets the box down…"Wow, it's really light…but it feels super solid."

"It's more powerful, plus it holds more rounds."

"Oh, yeah? Cool!"

"Do you like it?"

"I love it, Daddy!"…She stands and hugs her father…"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, baby…do me a favor, don't tell your mom."

She laughs…"About what?"

Tony grins…"Good girl."…He kisses her forehead.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, Pumpkin?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Anything."

"Don't let mom do what she did to me, to Tali."

"Sarah."

"Please, Daddy."…She hugs him tightly.

"Okay…okay."

---------------

Tony and Ziva lied in bed together, spooning. Both of them breathing hard. Tony kisses her neck.

Ziva's eyes were closed…"Z…I wanna talk to you about something."

"What?"…She said softly.

"Sarah."

Ziva sighed…"Not now, don't ruin this feeling."

He kisses her again…"Ziva…"

"Tony…don't."

Tony leans up…"Ziva, she's 21."

She turns over…"Do you really want to do this now?!"

"Yes, yes…I do."

"Why? We just made love, it was amazing and you want to ruin it over this, yes?!"

"Let her go, Ziva."

Ziva turns to her back, she lifts the sheets and tosses them back at Tony; she grabs her robe and moves out the door.

"Where are you going?"

"I want cake."

"Cake?"…Tony leaned back, looking up at the ceiling. He slams the bottom of his fist into the bed…"Damn it!"…He throws the sheets off of him, getting up.

Ziva was in the kitchen, sitting at the table, a fork in hand; she cuts off a small piece of cake and eats it.

Tony stood at the kitchen's doorway, wearing a pair of boxers.

"I am armed, Tony."

"I know."

She takes another bite of cake…Tony watches her.

"Want some?"

Tony moves to the chair opposite her and sits down…he doesn't say a word, just stares at her as she eats.

She cocks her head to the side…"Say it."

"It's time."

Ziva sighs, dropping the fork…"No."

"Yes."

"Tony, I know what's best for my daughter."

"She's our daughter and she's ready."

"How can you say that?"

"She's a very mature young lady."

"She's still too young, she has more to learn."

"Learn what exactly?"

"For one, guys."

"Heh. She can take care of herself."

"This isn't funny, Tony."

"No, it's not."

Ziva sighed…"Where's my baby?"

"What?"

"Where's my baby, Tony?"

"They're upstairs, of course…in bed."

"Where's Tony? Where's my baby?"

"I don't know; he's a grown man."

"Then why is LJ here?"

"Is that why you won't let Sarah leave? Cuz of LJ?"

"Where is he? We haven't heard from him in over a year! He didn't even call us at Christmas!"

"I do not know, Ziva."

"Then find out! No one leaves this house until I know where my baby is, do you understand?!"

"Mommy? Daddy?"

Ziva turns, seeing Tali, holding her teddy bear…"Why are you fighting?"

Tony stands, moving to her, he picks her…"We're not fighting, Angel…we're just discussing things…lets get you back to bed."

"Really?"

"Yeah, baby."…He kisses her cheek.

"Daddy, can I have some water?"

"Sure."

"Can I have cake, too?"

"Not now, maybe in the morning…that's if mommy doesn't eat it all."

"Mommy, don't eat all the cake!"

Tony starts laughing…"You know what your mother would say right now don't you?"…As he walks up the stairs, holding her.

Tali scoffs…"Indoor voice."

"Heh."

-----------------

The elevator dings, Tony and Sarah walk off into the squad room.

"Oh, by the way, I might have a solution to your problem."

"Really?"…As she sat down at her desk.

"Yup, but I gotta find your brother."

"Mom put you up to it?"

"Yeah."

Sarah sighs…"What a bitch."

"Sarah, even if your mom is acting like a bitch, you don't call her that."

"You're right, I'm sorry, Dad."

Sarah turns on her computer, she visits her myspace page…she grunts…"Who the hell is this Mr. G?"

"Who?"…Tony asked.

"Never mind, it's not important."…As she deleted it.

She types for several minutes, then clicks her mouse. She stands, stretching…"Me hungry!"

Tony turned and grinned…he rose from his chair…"Care to join me for a donut?"

She smiled…"Race ya."

"Heh. Fine by me, on 3, okay? 1...2…"…Tony leaves.

"Hey, you cheated!"…Sarah raised her voice.

"Yeah and guess who's gonna get the good donuts?"…He chuckled.

"Hey!"…Sarah ran after him…"Wait for me!"…As she chased her father out of the squad room.

------------------

Chapter 7: Clerical Error
--------------------------------

Sarah stood stirring her coffee, adding sugar…looking off into space.

"Sarah?"

She continued to stir her coffee while adding sugar.

Her father shook her shoulder, she turns…"Huh, what?"

"You okay?"

"Yeah, yeah…just thinking about something."…As she tosses the stir stick away and took a sip of her coffee, she quickly spits it back into her cup.

"That's what happens when you put ¼ of a jar of sugar in it…where's your mind at? Mom?"

"Naw, I've been getting weird messages from some guy and pictures."

"What?! When, who?"

"Nothing to worry about."

"I'm your father, it's my job to worry."

She turns to him…"Daddy, I'm a big girl."

"It on that myspace thing?"

"Daddy."

"Okay…okay, I won't push."

Tony's cell rings…"DiNozzo….yeah, we'll be right there, Doc."

"We have a case?"

"Yup, time to gear up."

She turns, grabbing a new cup…Tony extends his hand…"Take mine, never was a huge coffee drinker."

"You sure?"

He nods.

"Thanks, Dad."…She kisses him on the cheek.

"Awww."

"Oh, Dad…it was just a kiss."

"Heh. I know."

They moved back to the squad room, Reid stood wearing his NCIS gear.

"Look who's excited to work today."…Sarah grinned moving past Reid.

"Boss."…Sounding somber.

Tony moved to his desk, grabbing his Sig and bag…"What's up, Reid?"

"Emma…"

"Yeah?"

"She's dead."

Tony looked at Reid…"Pitt?"

"He was released this morning at 7…got a call 5 minutes ago, metro police arrived on the scene, Emma was found dead, they identified her from her ID."

Tony just stood there dumbfounded.

"Daddy…are you okay?"

-------------

They arrived at the scene; they walked under a police tape into the house, on the living room floor, Emma Pitt lied, her bruised, broken body covered by a flannel night gown.

Sarah stood over her body holding a camera, she looked around the room…"Nothing looks out of place."

Tony sighed…"I know who did this. Reid, go find out how that dirtbag got released."

Sarah put her hand on her father shoulder…"How did you know her dad?"

Tony takes his hat off…"She helped me out when I was in need, but so did the bastard."

"Dad?"

"Photos, Sarah."

"Okay."…As she starts taking pictures.

Tony squatted next to the body…her face was bluish; she had bruises all over her face, neck and upper chest.

Tony stood up, he turned seeing Palmer…"She was strangled, take special care of her body."…As Tony moved out of the house.

"You got it, Tony."

Tony stood in the middle of their front yard, he bent down…a hand down his back…"You okay, Dad?"

"I told you to take pictures."

"I'm just worried about you."

"I'm fine."…As he stood up…"I was just hoping avoid anyone dying I knew my last week."

"Last week?"

"I'm retiring, Sarah."

"What? You can't!"

"Sarah…I'm turning 57 on Friday."

"Yeah, so?"

"That's the cut off age, sweetie."

"Well, talk to Gibby, have him extend it…do something!"

"Don't worry, a DiNozzo will guide you."

"Huh?"

"You're a DiNozzo aren't you?"

"Yeah."

He kisses the side of her head…"You're a woman now, you don't need me anymore."

"Daddy, I'll always need you."

"Heh."…Tony gently taps her on the back of the head…"Go finish those photos, okay?"

Sarah walked back slowly, her head turned looking at her father…Reid walked over to him, showing him something on a portable screen.

"You've got to be shitting me!"…Tony yelled.

---------------------

The elevator dings, Sarah steps off, she tosses her bag on top of her desk…she moves behind it, placing her Athena 2.1 into it's docking station, she clicks with her mouse and it loads up the photos from her multi-functional PDA.

Multiple photos starts to pop up on screen. She grabs her bag, tossing it into the corner, a envelope falls off the desk. She leans down, picking it up.

She turns it over, seeing the name Sarah DiNozzo, a heart is over top of the i on it. She starts to open it, when the TV catches her eye…she moves across the bullpen and turns up the sound.

A breaking news banner come up along the banner on ZNN…""We now go live to our on scene reporter in Washington, DC, Jill Holcomb."

"Thank you, Henry."…A blonde woman stood outside a convenience store…"We're outside a Washington, DC 7-11, inside a man holds a woman at knife point…"…She holds her finger to her ear…"We're getting conformation that the man inside is a Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt? Are you serious?"…She turns towards the 7-11…"Brad Pitt is holding a woman hostage at a 7-11? Man, he's really gone downhill since his divorce from Angelina Jolie."

"Hey, Jill…there's a sign in the window."…As the cameraman zooms in…the sighs reads: "Get me Agent DiNozzo or she dies."

Sarah takes her phone from her pocket, she opens it…"14 voicemails."

Sarah shook her head and dialed…"Uh, Daddy…I found him."

-----------

The black Cadillac stops, the door opens and Tony steps out…he walks towards the police barrier, a metro police officer stood behind it holding a shotgun, Tony held up his badge, he ducks under the barrier…the police officer pointed to a man inside a black mobile command center…Tony walked over, he held up his badge again.

"Inside is…"

"I know who it is."…Tony interrupted the man…"Want to tell why this dirtbag is out jail?"

"We already told you, clerical error."

"I'm going in."

"Wait, do you have body armor?"

Tony turns, not saying a word…he moves towards the front door of the store. He opens it, the door buzzes.

Tony steps in; a woman is crying…"That's far enough, Agent DiNozzo!"…Brad Pitt held a box cutter to a black woman's throat.

Tony was silent.

"You have to listen to me, I didn't mean kill her…it was an accident, the bitch just wouldn't shut up, I-I-I just wanted her to be quiet!! You're married, you can understand that, right?!"

Tony remained silent.

"Look, look, look…you have to help me out here, I helped you…I saved your life, remember?! You have to help me, help me."

Tony lowered his head.

"Look at me god damn it! I saved your life and this is how you repay me?!"

Tony quickly raises his gun, he fires once…he turns before Brad's body hits the floor. The door opens and Tony walks out. He moves to the barrier, the man from the mobile station stood there.

"Clean up YOUR fuckin' clerical error."…As Tony brushes by him.

--------

A shot rang out on the TV, Sarah quickly dialed again, but it went straight to voicemail.

"Dad, call me."

Sarah turned and moved back to her desk, she picks up the envelope and opens it…pulling the contents out, she drops it on the floor, she looks down with a shocked look on her face.

Her cell phone rings…she quickly answers it…"Daddy?"

Heavy breathing is heard.

"Who is this?!"

"Did you enjoy the photographs?"…A distorted voice said.

"What?"

"Your face says no."

---------------------

Chapter 8: Freak
----------------------

Sarah sat at her desk, she was going through her cell phone, deleting voicemails.

She sighs…"Finally, a sane person."…She hits enters and listens to it…"Hey, Sarah…I'd really like to see you again, yeah…I know, it wouldn't be a date date, but…what do you think? Let me know. Bye."

Sarah smiled…"You put a smile on my face, Timmy."

The elevator doors dings…Ziva steps off…"Where is your father?"

Sarah looks up…"Mom…mom, what are you doing here?"

"Sarah, where's your father?"

Sarah shrugs.

"I'm right here."…Tony said moving down the stairs…he moves over to Ziva and kisses her.

"Ewwww, not in public, please."

"Oh hush, she-probie."

Ziva chuckled…"She-probie?"

Sarah sighed…"Dad, what was that about the 7-11?"

"Just taking out the trash."

"Why am I here, Tony?"…Ziva said, grabbing Tony's arm.

"Gibbs wants you to translate something."

"Huh? Don't you have people for that?"

"It's something very important…come on."

Ziva sighs…"Okay, but I gotta hurry…I left LJ in charge."…As they walked up the stairs.

"And to think, I thought she hated me."…Sarah said to herself.

Tony stops in front of the retinal scanner, he moves his eye to the scanner…"DiNozzo, Anthony."…He then places his hand on the hand scanner.

"Security is much tighter than I recall."

"That's what happens when you drop a nuke on foreign soil."

The door opens and they walk inside.

A man sat in the upper left hand corner of the room; they moved down the stairs, they stood in the middle of the room, below the row of seats.

Tony moved to the man and whispered in his ear, he grabbed a headset and walked over to Ziva, handing it to her. He whispers in her ear, then kisses the side of her head; he moves up the stairs.

"Tony?"…She looked back, as Tony walked out of MTAC.

"Mom?"

Ziva looked towards the screen, a man smiles…she starts crying as she slides on the headset.

--------------

Tony moved down the stairs rapidly…moving to his desk, he starts searching through it.

Tony hits his knee on the corner of his desk, knocking a file off to the right.

"Sarah, pick up that folder for me."

Sarah stared straight ahead.

"Please?"

Sarah continued to stare straight ahead.

Tony rose and moved around his desk, picking up the folder…he squatted next to Sarah, grabbing her hand…"Sarah, what's wrong?"

Sarah shook her head, turning towards her father…"What?"

"What's going on with you?"

"Nothing."…As she looked to right.

Tony slid his hand to Sarah face and turned it back towards him…"You're lying."

"What?"

"I always know when you're lying…you haven't looked me in the eye yet…what's going on with you?"

Sarah sighs…she turns, opening her drawer…"Here."…She hands the envelope to her father.

Tony opens it, taking out a picture of Sarah, she's pulling up on her pink shirt behind Tony's car outside of Pitt residence, she's smiling…there is a heart drawn around her face.

"How many people know you work at NCIS?"

"I dunno…a lot."

"Define a lot."

Sarah was silent…Tony placed his hand on her chin and moved her face back towards him…"What else, Sarah?"

"Nothing."

"Sarah Ora DiNozzo."…He raised his voice.

She turns her head…"Ugh, you went all mom on me."

"Look into my eyes."

Sarah turns towards her father.

"Tell me…let me help you, baby."

Sarah sighs…"I have a myspace page and this guy name Mr.G keeps sending me odd things."

"Odd? Like what?"

"People killing themselves."

"Snuff films?"

"Yeah, I thought he was just weirdo, so I just deleted them."

"Anything else?"

"I got a phone call from the guy who sent me the pictures."

"What?! When?"

"About 45 minutes ago, I'd say."

"Stay here, Sarah."

"Why, where are you going?"

"To find this bastard."

"Dad, I'll be fine."

"Wait for your mother, then go home with her."

"But, Dad."…She raised her voice.

"I said no, Sarah."

Tony stood in the middle of bullpen…"Reid?!"…He yelled.

"Yeah, Boss?"…Reid said moving from the other side of the stairs.

"Good, trace the last call Sarah got on her cell phone."

"Boss?"

"Just do it."

"On it, Boss."…Reid moves to his desk and starts typing.

"555-5464…registered to a John Smith, no residence."

"Is it on?"

"No, the last location was…right outside NCIS, Tony."

"He's here?!"

"As of 39 minutes ago."

"What about myspace…can you hack that or anything?"

"I could trace his IP address and back track him that way."

"What are you waiting for?!"

Reid starts typing feverously…"Mr. G, registered to a John Smith…tracking IP and I got it. 2532 Gunther St., Arlington, Virginia."

"Lets go, Reid!"

Sarah rises and moves behind her father.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"With you."

"No, wait for your mother."

"Dad, this guy is after me!"

"Exactly, you'll be safe here."

"Dad!"

"No, Sarah."…Tony and Reid walk into the elevator and it slowly closes.

Sarah tosses her bag over her desk, slamming into her cubicle wall, she then kicks the desk, knocking over her monitor; she lowers her head…"Harah."…She said softly.

---------

Tony and Reid stood outside of 2532 Gunther St.

"Don't we need a warrant?"

Tony kicks in the door…"The door was open."…As he walks inside, his weapon drawn.

"Clear!"

They searched the apartment; it was completely bare except for a small table, stool and a laptop in the front room.

"Boss, you know we can't use any of this if we're going to trial."

"Believe me, Reid…if I catch this guy, the only thing he'll need is a body bag."

Reid moves over to the laptop, he pulls out his Athena 2.1 and takes a picture, he then flips a switch, a blue light is cast over the laptop…"Found some fingerprints, Boss."…He clicks a button, taking a picture…"I'll send these to Abby, ASAP."

---------

Sarah sat on her desk, looking up at the balcony…"Come on, Mom!"..She said frustrated.

She takes out her cell phone and dials…it goes straight to voice mail…"I hate when turn off your phone, dad!"

Sarah hops off the desk and moves to the elevator…"Screw it."…She gets in and hits a button.

The doors open, Abby stood in front of her…"Abby!"…She hugs her…"How are you?"

"Good and you?"

"Heh."

Abby smiled…"Just like your dad."

"He's pissed at me."

"Aww."…Abby hugs her…"Wanna ride up with me? I need a caf-pow."

"Sure, I can't leave the building, anyway."

"Ah, that bad, huh?"

Sarah nodded.

"Abby?"…Timmy said stepping out of Abby's lab.

"What are you doing here, Timmy?"…Sarah asked.

"Oh, he was bringing me the latest build of his new video game."

"Video game?"

"You didn't know? Tim started his own video game company."

"Really? That's so cool! I love action games!"

Abby chuckled…"Just like your mom, huh? She loves her some Grand Theft Auto!"

"You can have a demo, too, Sarah."…Timmy smiled at her.

"That would be awesome, Timmy! Mom and LJ would love that."…Sarah paused…"Well, I better go back up to the squad room and see if my mom is done."

"Ziva's here?"…Abby asked, putting her hand on Sarah arm.

"Yup, up in MTAC doing something for Gibbs."

"Good, I need to talk to her about something."…Abby steps onto the elevator.

"Umm, Sarah?"

"Yeah, Timmy?"

"Can I talk to you?"

"About what?"…Sarah said stopping the elevator doors from closing.

"In private, please."

Sarah turns and hugs Abby…"I'll talk to you later, okay?"…She pulled away smiling, she steps off the elevator.

Abby smiled back at her…"I'll call you! We'll go out sometime!"

Sarah moves to Timmy…"What's up?"

"Umm…I wanted to know if you wanted to go out again."

"When?"

Timmy looks at his watch…"How about now?"

Sarah gritted her teeth…"I dunno, my dad told me not to leave."

Timmy lowered his head…"Okay, I understand."

"Oh, what the hell…lets go."

"Really?"

"Sure, he's already pissed at me, it's not like he can get any more pissed at me, right?"

Timmy shrugs.

Sarah laughs…"You driving?"

"Yep, I drove here."

"Give me your keys."

"Why?"

"Cuz I'm driving!"…She grinned as they walked towards the staircase.

-------

Ziva stepped out of MTAC, still crying.

"Ziva!"…Abby said excited, holding up 2 caf-pows.

"Hey, Abby."…She wiped away her tears.

"What's wrong, girl?"

Ziva smiled…"I have the greatest husband in the world."…She looked down into the squad room…"By the way, where is he?"

Abby shrugged…"No idea, but my God…Sarah looks more and more like you everyday!"

"You seem extra excited today!"

"Oh, I am…Spencie is done breast feeding, sooooo."

Ziva laughs…"Aww, I know what you mean."

"I'm also back on caf-pows! Diet, though…but double the caffeine! Caffeine! Caffeine!"

Ziva places her hands on Abby's shoulder…"Slow down, Abby!"…She chuckled.

Gibbs stepped out of his doorway.

"Gibbs! Gibbs! Gibbs!"

"Back on caf-pows, Abs?"…As Abby brushes past Ziva, moving into Gibbs' arms, hugging him.

"Umm, maybe."…She grinned.

Gibbs smirked…"What you doing here, Ziva?"

Ziva smiled…"Just visiting."

"Well, you won't have to do that much longer."

"What do you mean, Jethro?"

"You know, Tony retiring and all."

"Huh?"

"Uh oh."...Abby said, looking back and forth between the Gibbs and Ziva…her cell phone rings…"Saved…by the bell…uh, ring? Umm, whatever."…Abby quickly moves towards the elevator, answering her phone.

-----------------

Chapter 9: Timmy
---------------------------------------

Sarah and Timmy sat inside Mario's Pizzaera…

"Wow, you really do love this place, don't ya?"

"Best pie in town, no doubt about it."…Sarah shoveled in another slice of pizza.

"Why did you become a NCIS agent?"

"Hmmm?"…Sarah laid down the piece of pizza.

"I mean…your parents have money."

Sarah laughs…"What does my parents have to do with me?"

Timmy chuckles…"Well, they're worth like 8 million dollars, Sar."

She cocks her head to the side…"What?"

"Oh, come on, like you didn't know."

"Why would I know…my parents don't discuss money matters with me."

"You drive a brand new car."

"I work for a living, Timmy."

"Yeah, what do you make a year…35 grand? Your new car cost more than that."

"What in the hell are you trying to say, Tim?!"

"You have expensive tastes."

"Yeah, so…you have met my father before, haven't you?"

"Yeah, that's why I think we should be together."

"Excuse me?"

"I can take care of you…and gives you the life you're used to."

"Are you asking me to marry you?"

He gritted his teeth…"Do you want to…ummm, marry me?"

-----------------

Ziva paced back and forth on the balcony…"Harah!"…She exclaimed…"It keeps going to voicemail!"…She groaned.

Ziva moves to Gibbs' office, pushing her way in…"Where is my good for nothing husband?"

"I have no clue, check with your daughter."

"Where is she?"

"Squad room?"

"Nope."

"Check with Abby?"

Ziva leaves promptly, not saying a word.

Gibbs shakes his head…"Good luck, DiNozzo."

-------------

Tony sat on the stool looking at the laptop…"Guy was freak…he has snuff, bestiality and worse."

"Where's something worse than bestiality, Boss?"

Tony turns the laptop, showing Reid…he groans…"Remind me to never go on the internet ever again."

"Anything from Abby yet?"

Reid looks at his Athena…"Not yet, Boss."

-----------

Abby stood at her computer, she had just put in the search in AFIS for the fingerprints…the sliding door opens, Abby turns, Ziva stands in the doorway.

"Where's Sarah?"

"Hmm?"

"Gibbs said Sarah was down here?"

"I saw her earlier, she was talking to Timmy the last time I saw her."

"Timmy?"

"Mmm-hmm, yup…right in front of the elevator actually."

"No…Timmy."…Ziva pointed, Abby turned, seeing Timmy's face as a confirmed match for the fingerprints.

"Oh shit."…Abby picked up her phone.

-----------

Timmy sat at the table, typing into his PDA…he leaves the cursor blinking.

Sarah moves back to the table…she sits down.

"Did you think about it?"

"Tim…it takes more than 10 minutes to answer that kind of question."

"So, it's a no?"

"Timmy…"

"Don't call me, Timmy!"…He raised his voice.

"Jeez, don't get your panties in a bunch."

"You're like them all…like all of these whores."

"What?"

"I take that back, at least they screw me."

Timmy clicks his PDA and closes it.

"Timmy…I'm gonna go now."

"I told you not to call me Timmy."…He reaches out and grabs her arm.

Sarah looks at his hand… "If you do not get your hand off me this very instant, I'm going to break every bone in your hand."

"Go ahead, I don't care…you think you can hurt me more than you already have, huh?!"

Sarah pulls her hand away and stands…"What's wrong with you, Timmy?"…With tremble in her voice.

"God damnit!"…He yelled, he puts his hand under the table and flips it towards her.

Sarah back up…"Someone call police!"…A man yelled from inside.

"Timmy…calm down."

Timmy lifts his shirt, revealing the handle of a handgun.

"What the hell is that, Timmy?!"

His nostrils flared as he pulls the gun from his waist band…he aims it at Sarah as she backs out of the door.

"Tim…calm down, you don't want to do this."

"How do you know what I want to do."

"I've know you forever…you're like a brother to me."

"Yeah, a brother you pick on, a brother you abuse!"

"Timmy…"

"Don't call me fucking Timmy, you bitch!"…He cocks the gun.

Sarah backs up…her hands in the air, she looked down at her side; she wasn't carrying her Sig.

"Feel naked, don't ya?"

"Is that what you want? For me to marry you?"

"Don't pity me!"

"Put the gun down, no one needs to be hurt."

"Don't you get it, you've already hurt me!"

"How?!"

"I love you, Sarah."

"You've got a strange way of showing it, Timmy."

Timmy shoots into the air…"The next person who calls me Timmy, dies!"

Tony's black Cadillac comes to a sudden stop.

Timmy laughs…"Your daddy's here."

Tony moved to towards them, he waves Reid back.

"Sarah…are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, just chatting with Tim, Dad."

"Tim…what's wrong, buddy?"…With every word Tony spoke, he moved closer.

Timmy reaches into his pocket…he pulls out a box and tosses it to Sarah…"Open it."

"What?"

"Open it!"…He raised his voice.

Sarah opened the box…inside was a ring.

"All you have to do is say yes, Sarah."

Sarah closed her eyes…"I can't."

"Why not?!"…He screamed…"Is it because of my father?!"

"I love Uncle Tim."

"He's weak, he tried to kill himself…how could he do that to his own son?!"

Tony takes another step…"Your father fought through it and so can you."

Timmy starts to cry…"He's never been the same since mom died."

"Timmy?"

Timmy turns, he points the gun and fires…striking his father in the head.

"TIM!"...Tony screamed.

The gun shook in Timmy's hand; he starts to cry…he stared at his father's lifeless body…"Dad? Daddy? Daddy?!"

Tony moved in, Timmy swung the gun back towards Tony…he stopped.

"Tim, give me the gun."

Timmy starts breathing hard.

"Tim…give me the gun…now."

Timmy starts to lower the gun, but quickly moves it towards Sarah…"I'm sorry."…He pulls the trigger, Tony leaps in front of Sarah.

"Dad!"…Sarah yelled, she moved towards Timmy grabbing his arm, she tosses him on the ground, his grip remains tight on the handle, she grabs his forearm, snapping it, the bone pops out of the skin as she kneels, thrusting the edge of the broken bone under his chin, forcing it through the soft flesh, she knees his elbow twice making the edge of the bone enter his brain, killing him instantly.

Sarah turned, her father was on his knees, she smiles…she takes a step towards him. He suddenly falls backwards…"Dad!"…She moves quickly towards him, she places her hand on his face as he spit up some blood.

"Dad?"…Sarah moved her hand to his chest…her hand turns head, she pulls up on his first…"Where's your body armor? Where's your body armor, Dad?!"

Sarah realized, she was wearing it…"No."…She pressed her hand against the bullet wound on his chest…"You can't die on me, Dad!"

Tony moved his hand to Sarah's face, caressing it.

"No, no, no!"…She pressed hardly…"God, someone help me…please….for the love of God, someone help me! Dad! Hang on!"

Tony's hand dropped from her face.

"Daddy?"…Sarah started to cry…"Daddy?! No, Daddy…NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"TONNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYY!"…Ziva screamed as she awoke.

Tony sits up…"What?! Is it baby time?!"

Ziva grabs Tony, wrapping her arms around his waist, holding on for dear life.

"What's wrong, hmmm?"…Tony moves his hand to Ziva's head, she was sweating profusely.

"Don't ever leave me…never."…Ziva squeezed harder.

"Huh?"

"The kids need you, especially Tali and Dante."

Tony shook his head…"What?"

"Promise me you'll never leave me."

"Ziva…what's going on?"

"Promise me, Tony."

Tony turns his head and kisses the top of her head…"I promise."

"Mommy?"

Ziva turned her head…Sarah stood in the doorway…Ziva held out her right hand…"Come to Mommy!"

Sarah runs and jumps on the bed, Ziva hugs her…kissing her multiple times on the head…"Can you do Mommy a favor?"

"Sure, Mommy."

"Stay away from Timmy McGee for Mommy, okay?"

Tony lies back down…"Heh. I'm glad someone is finally catching on."…Tony quickly raises his head…"Wait, who the hell is Dante?"
