It was 1500, and the team has been working on the same case for two days now. Everyone was getting restless and wanting to find a lead – as of now they had no motives, and just a few suspects. Ziva, McGee, and DiNozzo were staring at their screens, trying desperately to find something useful. For the lack of development in the case, Gibbs was angry and impatient. He was sitting at his desk rifling through the case files of the suspects, trying to find a connection. Suddenly, McGee looked up, not even believing it himself that he had finally found something.
"Guys! Boss!" They all snapped their heads towards him. "I found a suspect. Gavin Reed was the boss of the victim, and he sent several threatening texts to the victim before he died 5 hours later. He is a marine, strong build, athletic. I tracked him down to be near Water Creek Bridge. He's on the move."
"David, DiNozzo, go. And David, you drive. We need to catch this guy, he's the only lead we have." Before he could even finish the sentence the two agents eagerly and excitedly raced to the elevators and out the door, finally having something to do.
"There he is, Ziva. He's on that bridge."
"Okay then, Tony, let's go" Ziva said as she stepped on the pedal.
"No Ziva, the car won't fit. It's a narrow walking bridge for tourists in DC." They both stepped out of the car and walked towards the suspect, who started to run. Both agents started sprinting, and DiNozzo eventually tackled the guy and cuffed him. When he turned around, Ziva was nowhere to be seen. He started to worry. "Ziva? Where are you?" he asked. Then he heard her.
"Tony! A little help here please!" Tony ran towards the sound to find Ziva dangling off the bridge.
"Okay Ziva, I've got you," she said as he pulled her up to safety. "What happened?"
Ziva glared. "Tony, you might not believe this, but even ex-Mossad agents can trip. But…thank you for saving me."
"Anytime my ninja. But don't make a habit out of it please, you really scared me when I turned around and you weren't there."
Ziva smiled. "Thanks Tony. That's sweet" she said as she kissed him lightly on the lips. He was shocked for a moment before he kissed her back. When they pulled away for air after a minute, Ziva said "Yes. That is definitely better than hanging off a bridge."
Tony just grinned and leaned forward to kiss her again.
"Are you guys done yet?" the suspect asked, still cuffed sitting on the bridge.
"No. Now shut up." Ziva said as she kissed him again. "Or I will use force."
He stopped talking then.
