Tony lies on a bed, his eyes closed, his head completely healed.
The camera turns toward the bathroom, a naked Ziva walks past the door.
The camera turns quickly to Tony's face…Tony lets out a huge grin.
"Tony...want to wash my back?"
Tony leaps up, dashes into the shower and stands behind Ziva.
Ziva chuckles…"Good morning, Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo"
"Indeed, Officer David."…as he starts to wash her back, taking in her scent…"God, you smell good."
"I love that honeydust you gave me."
"Heh.. Me, too." ...Tony drops the soap..."oops, I totally dropped the soap."
Ziva laughs..."let me get that."...bending down..
Ziva steps off the elevator into the squad-room..
"Good morning, Ziva."
"Same to you, McGee."
"How's Tony doing?"
"He's great"...She closes her eyes and thinks..."Really great."
"When is he suppose to be back?"
"In a couple weeks."
"I went over to his place yesterday, but I guess he wasn't home."
"We were there."
"You didn't answer."
"Sorry, Tim...we were busy."
"Aww, I see. Well, anyway, glad he's feeling better."
Gibbs walks in
"A Marine captain has been murdered at a drive-thru...Ziva, take McGee, Ducky will meet you down there."
Gibbs tosses the truck keys to Ziva.
"You're not coming, Gibbs?"
"Yeah, I'll meet you there...I need to do something first."
Ziva and McGee now in the truck…
'You know, you're a lot better...and safer driver now, Ziva."
"Yeah, Tony's been teaching me...I always thought yellow light meant speed up"
"You and Tony have been spending a lot of time with each other."
"Yeah, so?"
"Oh nothing, it's cool and all, it's just that I never see him anymore..."
"It's a new relationship, Tim...we're in the whole lot of sex stage."
"LALALALALALA, I don't want to hear about this...LALALALALA."
"Oh come on, McGee, who doesn't like sex?"
"You I'm fine with, but Tony?"
"He is called the big D for a reason, McGee."
"Oh great, I'm gonna have that image in my mind for the rest of my life."
Ziva laughs...
Gibbs is sitting in his car..
"Hey, Boss. Thanks for the ride."…Tony opens the door.
"You think you're ready to return, Tony?"
"Yeah, I'm going crazy at home during the day."
"It's only been month, Tony"
"Yeah, well...anyway, do we have a case?"
"Yeah, but you aren't going, you're on desk duty until the office shrink allows you to go back on full active duty."
"Oh come on, Boss...that sucks, you can't do anything?"
"It's directly from the director."
"heh...maybe I can talk Jenny out of it."
Gibbs shakes his head..."how close did you and director get anyway?"
"Do you really want to know, Boss?"
"On second thought..."
Gibbs drops off Tony and heads for the crime scene...
Tony walks into NCIS and takes the elevator down to Abby's lab
Abby is working at her computer, when Tony sneaks up behind her and covers her eyes with hands.
"Peek-a-boo, who is it?"
"TONYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" ...she turns around and hugs him..."I've missed you so much, Tony!"
"Thanks, Abs...how have you been?"
"I've been great." ...she Gibbs slaps him in the head...
"Hey! What was that for?"
"You should've called me!"
"I'm sorry, Abs, I thought Ziva was letting you know what was up."
"Oh, she has...but it would've been nice to hear your voice."
Tony hugs her..."You're a doll, Abs...well, I gotta go, I have to go talk to Jen, errr, the director."
Tony starts walking out when he picks up Bert and squeezes him..."FFFFAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRTTTTTTT"...
"heh...I love fart noises."
Abby laughs..."see ya later, Tony!"
Gibbs arrives at the fast food place, Ziva, McGee, Ducky and Palmer are all on the scene...Gibbs gets out and walks over to the car, inside is a man, in Marine dress clothes with no head."
"What we got, Ducky?"
"Our Marine Captain was decapitated, on site."
"TOD, Ducky?"
"Around 12 hours ago, Jethro."
"Know what was used to kill him?"
Ducky points out the cut around the neck, then at the large amount of blood and it's spray pattern, "Most likely a chainsaw or saw of some kind."
"Anything else you can tell me before you get him back to autopsy."
"He was caught unaware, he has no defensive marks, whatsoever."
"Possible drugging?"
"Could be, Jethro...I'll send everything I find to Abby."
Gibbs walks over to Ziva and McGee..."Tell me what you know."
"Found his wallet, Captain Marcus Phoenix."
"heh, like from Gears of War."
"Gears of War? What the hell is that?"
"Gears of War is a video game, Boss."
"Good ol' Elf Lord."
"Anyway, Boss, he was on vacation, started yesterday, first leave he's taken in 2 years."
"Bad luck. Anything else?"
"Found a receipt for a video rental place, he rented a couple movies last night at 8:13 p.m. So, going by Dr. Mallard's timeline, give or take 30 minutes after renting them, he died."
"Did you find the movies?"
"Nope, we were about to go to his house."
"Good, get on it."
Ziva and McGee take off for the Captain's home.
DiNozzo's phone rings
"What are you doing at work?"
"Hey, honey buns."
"Don't honey buns me. Why are you at work?"
"Oh god, something else I'll never forget."
"Zip it, Probie...been talkin' to Abby, I see...It was suppose to be a surprise, but I gotta do this stupid shrink think to get back on active duty."
"Don't rush yourself, Tony."
"I just need to be out of the house, you know that, sugar plums."
"Please turn off the speaker phone, I'm beggin' ya."
"Quite, McGee!"
"Sorry, McGee...the big D is in love. I can't help myself."
"That's ok, Tony, you are Tony after all."
"What's that suppose to mean, Probie?"
"You know what he means, Tony, you're a sex crazed maniac."
"Yeah, so, what's wrong with that?"
McGee thinks for a minute..."I got nothing"
"McGee, plug your ears."
"Why, Tony?"
"Just do it."
"Does he have his ears plugged, Ziva?"
"Yes..."
"I love you, baby."
"Awwwww, that was sweet, kit kat."
"Kit kat?"
"Shut up, I'm not good at this lovey-dovey stuff."
"Apparently not, sweet cheeks. Later."

"Can I pull my fingers out yet?"
Ziva grabs his arm, "yes, Tim."
"What was that about?"
"Sex, Tim...all sex.."
"Figures..."
Tony walks into Director Shepard's office.
"Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo reporting for duty."
"Close the door and sit down, Tony." Tony closes the door and sits, as she grabs a file from a drawer and sits down...she puts on her glasses and opens up the file..."how are you, Tony?"
"Jenny, I know what you want. I still have La Grenouille on my mind, I can still do this."
"I'm pulling you, Tony."
"You can't."
"You got too deep and you almost got killed for it."
"Totally different circumstance, Jenny and you know it. I worked my ass off for this...that was a frickin' setup"
"I'm sorry, Tony."
"Great, first I'm off active duty and now this."
"There's something else, Tony."
"What?"
"You're leaving Gibbs team. You're finally getting your own team."
"What? Why?"
"You know why."
"Because of Ziva?
"Yes...believe me Tony, this is for the best."
"No, I won't leave. Gibbs still needs me and I'm not leaving Ziva."
"I am sorry, Tony...your new command will be in Rota, Spain."
"...and if I don't take it?"
"Then you'd be done with NCIS."
"Are you serious?"
"I am...and it's my final decision."
"Is this about me and you?"
"What do you mean, about me and you...what we had was casual."
"Casual?"
"Yes, it was only sex...you had no feelings towards me."
"Says who?"
"Why are you making this difficult?"
"I cared about you...you're the one who broke it off, because Gibbs came back."
"Tony, you know that's not true."
"Of course, it is...what day did you call and tell me we couldn't see each other anymore? Huh?"
She's silent...
"Hell, you pushed me away...and I did everything you asked me, I didn't quit on you, I stayed through it all. You think I liked having people think the only reason I got to be team leader is because my boss quit? Hell, McGee gave me crap about when Gibbs came back and how I lost my job. It made me look weak."
She's still silent...
"You know what, I don't need this...call me when you actually want a damn good agent who actually wants to do his damn job, until then, you can take that promotion and shove it." Tony walks out of Director Shepard's office…slamming the door on the way out...
---------------------
---------------------
Tony's cell phone rings as soon as he slammed the door...he looks down at it, it reads: "Jenny"
Tony whistles..."Hey"...Director Shepard's secretary looks up as Tony tosses her the phone. "It's for you." …as Tony walks out.
McGee and Ziva arrive at Captain Phoenix's house.
They knock on the front door and a little girl answers it.
Ziva kneels..."Hello, dear...is your mommy home?" The little girl turns and runs away, a teenage girls comes past her."
"She die a couple years ago." McGee puts his hand over his face, lowering his head..
Ziva stands..."I have some bad news."
"My father's dead, isn't he?"
"Yes, I'm sorry...did you have any reason to believe he was in trouble?"
Emotions start hitting the teenager. "He seemed distant lately and he started carrying his gun everywhere. Even to just go and eat."
McGee steps forward, "What's your name? How old are you?"
"Megan. I'm 15."
"...and how many siblings do you have?"
"Just the one, Sienna's 4."
"Do you have any relatives nearby?"
"Nope, we do have a grandma in Indiana."
McGee turns to Ziva, "I'll call CPS."
Ziva nods..."Hun, did your father rent you any movies last night?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"It's not important. Can you pack a bag, you need to come with us."
"They're gonna meet us at NCIS, Ziva."
Megan comes back with a duffel bag.
"Are you guys ready to go?"
"I think so." As Megan picks up Sienna. She walks forward to pick up the bag, but McGee stops her.
"I'll get that." McGee picks up the bag as they leave through the front door."
Ziva takes out her phone and calls Gibbs, "Gibbs, we're at Captain Phoenix's house, he has 2 daughters, both under 16. We're bringing them to NCIS." ...she listens to him..."Yeah, that's right. Ok, gotcha."
Gibbs hangs up his phone...he heads into the morgue..."what you got, Ducky."
"Awww, Jethro...he was drugged, he had enough horse tranquilizer in him to kill 5 horses." Ducky points out a syringe mark on the Captain's arm..."I sent trace under his fingernails and blood to Abby."
"What's with that ugly scar there." Pointing to his leg
"That is indeed odd, it looks as if healed numerous times. Like he keeps opening up before it completely heals."
"He a sadist?"
"Could be, Jethro...but I doubt he cut off his own head."
"Ya think, Ducky?"
Ducky chuckles, "Although there was this one time, in was in Scotland, this man was shaving his sheep..." Gibbs stops him..
"Keep me informed." As Gibbs leaves the room.
Ducky looks down at the body..."Aww, Captain, poor lad...I hate to meet you like this, but I'll take care of you...I'm sorry we didn't find your head, but Gibbs will, don't worry."
Ziva calls Tony..."why isn't Tony answering?" I've called him 4 times in the last 20 minutes."
"Who's Tony?" Megan asked
"He's my...boyfriend.."
"What, that the first time you've said that, Ziva?"
"Yeah, I guess it is, McGee."
"I dunno, maybe he's in with the NCIS psychiatrist."
"That's probably true."
"Tell me about Tony." Megan leans forward
Ziva turns around, "Oh, he's just an average guy."
"I doubt that, you seemed really worried about him."
"Well, he's just coming off some injuries."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's ok." ..patting her on the head... "he's a good man."
"I bet he's great...he has you, doesn't he?"
"Aww, that's sweet..."
"Wow, you're such a girl now, Ziva."
"I know, it's weird isn't it?"
"You have no idea."
Ziva, McGee and the girls walk into the NCIS office.
"Sit here, it's Tony's desk."
Megan sits in Tony's chair and pulls up another for Sienna.
"Do you have a picture of Tony?"
"Oh sure, one sec"...Ziva goes to her desk and pulls out her purse."
"You have a purse now, Ziva?"
"It's not a purse, McGee...ok, maybe it is." she rumbles through her purse. "Oh, I found them."
"The great Ziva David is officially a woman."
"Do you want this woman to break your arm, McGee. In 17 places?"
"No, that's ok. I'll shut up now."
Ziva walks over to Tony's desk and show Megan a picture of Tony.
"Wow, he's a hottie."
"Oh god, here we go again."
Ziva gives McGee an evil look
McGee brings his fingers up to his lips and makes a locking motion
"Do you think I'll get to meet him?"
"I'm sure, he's suppose to be here."
The elevator beeps and Abby comes out
"Guys..." she stops mid-sentence, seeing the kids..."hey, who are these kids? I love kids. Anyway, guess what? Tony got fired or something. I can't believe it. What's going on? Things are crazy. Gibbs is upstairs talking to the director. I hope it's not true. Please, don't be true."
"Abby, what do you mean Tony got fired!?" Ziva grabs Abby's hands
McGee rises from his desk, "Tony got fired? He just got back today."
A very angry looking Ziva starts toward the stairs, "McGee watch the girls!"
"Uh, oh..." Abby says while biting her fingernail
McGee sits down..."Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..."
Meanwhile, in the morgue.
Ducky walks into his morgue, walks over to his desk and picks up a chart and realizes one of the morgue drawers is slightly open...he walks over to it and opens it.
Tony is inside, wearing his shades.
"Mr. DiNozzo, what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Just looking for a place to think, Ducky."
"You picked quite a unique place, my boy."
"Just some place, I would be alone."
"I know the feeling, you're not the first to think of this."
"Yeah, I saw it in a movie."
"I figured, as much...so, what are you thinkin' about, Tony?"
"My life...what I want to do...death...sex...you know, the usual."
"Well, I'll let you be then." starts to close the drawer..
"Hey, Duck, is it better to stay and fight or move on to greater pastures?"
"Tony, choose which will make YOU happiest in the end."
"Thanks, Ducky."
Ducky closes the drawer...
Inside the Director's office….
"You don't even care about him, Gibbs."
"What? He's the best agent I've ever trained."
"What does that have to do with caring?"
"I have to be tough on DiNozzo, I'm training him to be my replacement. My job is not for the weak-hearted, Jen."
"That's non-sense, Jethro."
"Tony can take it, he's tough."
"I offered him his own team once, but he turned it down, because he was worried about you. Can't say the same about you."
Gibbs thinks for a second..."He turned down his own team? DiNozzo?"
"Yes, Gibbs, he did."
"Damn it, Jen. You actually think I don't care about Tony?"
"The man nearly died from the plague, the frickin' plague, Jethro."
"So, just because I don't baby him, I don't care about him?"
"Who else do you treat like Tony? Not a damn one."
Gibbs sighs..."I can see myself in him...Frank did the exact thing to me and I came out all right."
"He's not you, Jethro. When are you going to realize that!?"
"So, because of this, you're making him take his own team?"
"There's more to it...there's the whole thing with Ziva."
"What about it? Me and you were together as partners. I don't think it's smart, but hell, it was fun while it lasted."
"There's me and DiNozzo."
"What...then the scuttlebutt was true?"
"Yes, Jethro...and if it makes you happy, I broke up with him because of you coming back."
"Why?"
"I don't know.." she sighs..
The very angry Ziva walks toward Director Shepard's door...
"Hey, wait, you can't go in there..."...Ziva turns to the secretary..."...uh, umm, go right in..."
Ziva busts through the door. "What in hell is going on?"
Gibbs moves toward Ziva. "Down, Ziva...down..."
"Gibbs, please get out of my way."
Gibbs puts his hand on Ziva's shoulder..."give me your weapons, Ziva. ALL OF THEM!"
"It's for everyone's own good, Ziva."
"You're not helping, Jen."
Ziva trying to force her way past Gibbs..."Damn it, Ziva, give me your weapons...NOW!"
"Fine"...Ziva pulls her gun, then her back up, then her knife, then another knife...
"Now sit down."
"Come on, Gibbs...you hold her and I'll break her arms."
Gibbs slaps Ziva on the back of the head..."I said sit down!"
Ziva grabs a rubber band from her pocket and pulls her hair back into a ponytail...Gibbs steps in front of her..
"I'll take care of this Ziva. I promise."
Ziva hands Gibbs the sharpened hair clip she had just taken from her hair.
"I trust you, Gibbs." ...as she turns and leaves through the doorway.
She walks down the steps
"Everything alright, Ziva?"
"Yeah, McGee, I'm gonna go look for Tony."
"You want me to go with you?"
"No thanks."
Ziva goes to her desk and grabs another one of her back up guns and puts it in her holster.
She walks toward the elevator...the elevator door opens...Ducky walks out..
"Aww, my dear...if you're looking for Tony, check the morgue...drawer # 7 and no, he's not dead."
"Thanks, Ducky." ..as she steps onto the elevator...she arrives at the morgue and walks through the door.
She walks over to drawer and starts to open it.
"What's up, Duck...oh, it's you. "
"What are you doing' in there?"
"Just thinking about stuff."
"There enough room in there for another?"
"To do what?" Tony cracks a grin
Ziva laughs..."You'd love that wouldn't you?"
"Heh, it would be different...that's for sure."
Ziva bends down and kisses him...then places her hands on the drawer, lifting herself up and lies next to him...
"Why are you wearing your sunglasses?"
"...'cus they make me look cool."
Ziva takes them off and puts them on herself.."...so, am I cool now?"
"No, just beautiful and sexy and good with weapons."
Ziva laughs..."Stop it."
"heh, well, you are better at some things...like when you do that thing.."
"Tony?"
"Yes?"
"Shut up and kiss me."
"Shutting up and kissing you..."
Tony grabs the top of drawer and pulls it closed...
Ducky walks back into his morgue...the sound of metal clanking is heard...
"Oh good heavens...get a room you two."
The metal clanking stops..."Technically, it is a room, Ducky, it has 4 sides and a door."
"What are you doing, Tony?"
"Talking to Ducky."
"Why?"
"I didn't want to be impolite."
"Tony...less talking...more doing..." The metal clanking starts again
"Sorry, babycakes..."
"Awww, to be young again."
ding...Gibbs gets off the elevator..
"DiNozzo!?"
"Yeah, Boss?"
"Where you at?
"#7, Boss."
"Jethro...he has someone with him."
"In an morgue drawer?"
"Indeed, he has quite the imagination."
"...and you've been listening to them?"
"It's the best sex I've had in years."
Gibbs does a double take..."What?"
Ducky and Gibbs both head toward the elevator "Oh, it seems our Mr. DiNozzo is quite the..."elevator door closes
the elevator re-opens..."Oh, Tony?"
"Yeah, Boss?"
"You have your job back, but you still have to do the shrink."
"Do the shrink, Boss?"
"Shut up, Tony."
"Shutting up, Ziva.
Gibbs and Ducky on the elevator, "She really said that about Tony? Our Tony? ..shakes head in disbelief...
ding...the elevator door closes...
Ziva's phone rings..."ugh.'
"Just answer it."
"I have no idea where my phone is."
"Here, let me reach for it."
"Tony, that isn't my phone."
"heh, I know...hey, I found it..."..click ..."Ziva's phone, may I ask who's calling?"
"When you two are done grab-assin' get your asses up here, you have 5 minutes."
"Come on, Gibbs."
"Ok, make that 4 minutes."
click
"Well, that was fun."
Tony and Ziva both ride up the elevator...Ziva's hair is a mess, it's everywhere, her top is buttoned wrong and she's missing a shoe. Tony smacks her butt and hands her her shoe. He's dressed perfectly, even his tie is perfectly straight. She moves behind him, staying out of sight, trying to get her shoe on.
"How Tony? You're wearing more than me...and you were completely naked in there."
"Yeah, I know, man was it cold."
Tony turns around and fixes the buttons on her blousse.
"There you go...it's a gift...here, I have your rubber band, turn around and I'll fix your hair." ...Ziva turns around and Tony pulls her hair back and into a pony tail..."you ready?"
She smiles and nods and they step out of the elevator
"Tony, the Director wants to see you."
"I don't really feel like going up there, Boss."
"Just go see her."
"If you say so, Boss."
Tony heads upstairs as Ziva rejoins everyone in the squad room.
"Tony, wait a second."
"Yeah, Boss?"
Gibbs walks over towards Tony..."Let me say something before you go...Thanks, Tony."
"For what, Boss?"
"Sticking with me...through everything, I know I can be a bastard."
"What's this all about, Gibbs?"
"Just what Jen said to me, it made me feel like I take you for granted. I don't Tony."
"It's ok, Boss. I know why you do the things you do."
"Oh, one last thing Tony. If you ever do what you just did at work again, I'm kicking both of your asses, you got it?"
"Got it, Boss."
Gibbs slap Tony in the back of head
"heh, I've missed that, Gibbs."
Gibbs chuckling..."Yeah, well, I've missed doing it, DiNozzo."
Tony walks into Director Shepard's office
"You wanted to see me, Ma'am?"
"Tony...I just don't want to see you hurt."
"Ma'am?"
"Stop the Ma'am-ing, Tony. Talk to me."
"Why should I? You acted like a complete and total bitch to me."
"I know I did...and I'm sorry."
"How was sending me away from here, from the people I care about helping me? That would hurt me more than anything."
"I over reacted, Tony...and maybe, just maybe...I'm a little jealous of what you and Ziva have now."
"That's your own fault."
"I know that...so, please forgive me."
"I'll think about it, Ma'am."
"Tony..."
"It's ok, Jenny." ...walks towards her..."permission to hug, Director Shepard?"
"Granted." They hug..
"That perfume...it's one I bought you is, isn't it. You smell delicious."
Jenny laughs..."why you're here, take Ziva's weapons back to her"...she hands them to Tony.
"Jenny..."
"Yes, Tony?"
"Never say you're sorry, it's a sign of weakness." He gives her a wink, then leaves...
Tony now in the squad room, hands Ziva back her weapons...
"Toda"
"Eya davar."
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, is Tony speaking Hebrew?"
"Learning it, Probie."
"I have a bad habit of speaking Hebrew in bed, McGee...so, Tony wants to learn exactly what I'm saying."
"Why do you care, Tony?"
"I'm a thoughtful lover, McCheesy...that and I want to know if I'm good or not. Heh.."
"Tov!"
"Ummm, Ani zakuk lerofe?"
Ziva laughs..."You just told me you needed a doctor."
"Heh...I'm still learning!"
"McGee, where are the girls? Megan wanted to meet Tony."
"They're in interrogation #2."
"Who's Megan?"
"She's a 15 old, whose father we're investigating, he was beheaded at a drive-thru."
"Ouch, does she know?"
"Yeah, they both know."
"Both?"
"Yeah, she has a 4 yr. old sister."
"That's awful...what's her name?"
"Sienna."
Gibbs walks in, "We're going to the marine base, so gear up...except you DiNozzo, you're report to the shrink pronto."
"What about the girls, Gibbs?"
"Don't worry, Ziva, I'll watch them when I'm done with the head doctor."
Gibbs looks at him, "Are you sure, Tony?"
"Yeah, kids love me!"
Everyone chuckles except Ziva
"At least I have one on my side."
"Now behave, Tony and if you're a good boy, I'll bring you back a surprise."
"I like surprises!"
Jenny walks out of her office..."Special Agent DiNozzo?"
"Yeah?"
"You forgetting something?" ...holding up his cell phone...
"Oh, I totally forgot about that." Tony runs upstairs, as the others start to leave.
"You might want to get your number changed, someone keeps calling for Spanky."
"Damn...again?"
"Huh?"
"Nevermind..."
Tony arrives at interrogation room #2 holding a bag...and he knocks on the door and opens it.
"Hey, I'm Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, but you may call me Tony."
"Hey, you're Ziva's boyfriend, right?"
"That would be me...she told me you wanted to meet me?"
"Yeah, where's Ziva?"
"She had to go out, I'm gonna be watching you guys for awhile, if that's ok."
"S..sure, I guess."
Sienna hides behind Megan's leg.
Tony kneels..."Hi, you must be Sienna, I'm Tony." ...he holds out his hand…"It's ok, I don't bite"...with Megan's urging she reaches out her hand and Tony shakes it, "It's nice to meet you, Sienna...you, as well, Megan."
"Nice to meet you, too." ..Megan tries to get Sienna to say something, but she doesn't.
"Ok, I have to do something for a bit, but I'm all yours thereafter."
"Really?"
"Yep, we can play a game, I can give you the famous DiNozzo tour, or whatever you wanna do."
Tony puts the bag on the table..."Here are some sandwiches, cookies and milk, I'll be back in 15 to 20 minutes, ok?"
"Thank you, Tony." Tony gives her a wink, stands up and leaves
Tony now outside the shrinks office.
"Well, this is gonna suck..."
"Special Agent DiNozzo, please sit down...I'm Dr. Gillian."
Tony sits, "Hello."
"You're here to see if you're ready to go back on active duty."
"Yup."
"How have you been since your injuries?"
"I'm great."
"Nothing further to add?"
"Nope."
"All your answers seem to be short."
"I prefer precise."
"Ok, so...let me ask you about Jeanne Benoit."
"What about her?"
"How are you coping with her death?"
"I feel sad about it, but at the same time, she kidnapped me, so I also feel like she got what she deserved."
"You two had a sexual relationship?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"We're trying to judge your state of mind."
"Yes, we had a sexual relationship."
"You've had a lot of sexual relationships, haven't you?"
"I suppose"
"Do you feel your job neglects you from having a steady relationship?"
"No."
"That's right, you're in a relationship with Ziva David, correct?"
"Yes."
"Would you call it a steady relationship?"
"Yes."
"You've also had a sexual relationship with the NCIS director Jen Shepard?"
"No comment."
"How about Special Agent Caitlin Todd?"
"What about her?"
"How did you feel when she died?"
"...like a piece of me died."
"You had a sexual relationship with her, as well?"
"No comment."
"It's safe to say, most of women in your life you've grown close to you, have left you in some way?"
"Why are you asking me this?"
"Well, let me ask it another way...are you scared Ziva will leave you, as well?"
"No comment."
"Is it true Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs abuses you?"
"Absolutely not."
"He doesn't smack you in the back of the head or belittle you in front of other teammates?"
"Absolutely not."
"Are you afraid to die?"
"No."
"Why?"
"We all gotta go at some time."
"How did you feel when you shot Ari Haswari?"
"Happy. Closure."
"Why?"
"He deserved to die."
"So, you were his Judge and Executioner?"
"Yes."
"What gave you that right?"
"The safety and well being of my fellow teammates."
"Did his death accomplish that?"
"Yes."
"Did Special Agent Caitlin Todd's death waiver on your decision."
"No."
"One last question...do you think you're a good agent?"
"Yes."
"Ok, thank you for coming, Special Agent DiNozzo."
Tony gets up and leaves...and heads back towards interrogation room #2, he stops and leans his forehead against a wall...
"Shalom, Kate..."
Gibbs and the team arrive at the military research facility...they are brought to the United States Army supervisor on the project, Lt. Colonel Blake Jensen.
"Special Agent Gibbs, Ziva and McGee...we'd like to ask you a few questions about Marine Captain Marcus Phoenix."
"His death shocked us all, Agent Gibbs. Anything I can do to help, I will."
"Did he have any enemies?"
"Absolutely not, everyone loved him. He always bought coffee and donuts for the men every morning. God, I forgot about his girl..."
"Don't worry...we got them." ...he lets out a sigh of relief..."Was he seeing anyone?"
"Not that I'm aware, his life was his job and it's daughters."
Ziva asks, "His daughter said he was really jumpy lately, started carrying his gun everywhere."
"I never realized anything was wrong, especially something that bad...yesterday he was extremely happy he was going on vacation, he was taking his daughters to an amusement park in Florida."
"What exactly were you working on here?"
"It's a prototype new armor codename: "Dragonskin"...it can stop a sniper bullet from a .50 cal rifle, not even a hand grenades shrapnel can get through it."
"What was Captain Phoenix role?"
"He was the senior tester."
"Are you missing any files or prototypes?"
"I'll have to check on the files, but no prototypes are missing, we only had 2 and they're right here Agent Gibbs." ...pointing to them.
"McGee, check their files, see if everything is in order, etc."
"On it, Boss."
"Ziva, talk to all the tester, see if you can anything from them." She heads off...
"Thanks, Colonel Jensen."
Tony goes into interrogation #2
"Hey, Tony."
"Hey, Megan...sorry about that, it took a little longer than I thought."
"That's ok."
"So, what will it be?"
"How about the tour?"
"Sure...hey..."...Tony kneels, "how about I carry you on my shoulders Sienna?" ..Tony holds out his hand..
Sienna walks over to him and he lifts her and places her on his shoulders.
"Ok, here we go..."
"Do I leave my bag?"
"No, I'll carry it." ...Tony picks up the bag..."now stay on my six, Megan."
"Huh?"
"Oh, sorry, stay behind me." ...she nods and they leave the room...
"Ok, that was an interrogation room, that's where we...Megan?
"Interrogate people?"
"ding...ding...you just won yourself an ice cream."
Tony now takes them to Director Shepard's office..
"See here, this is the head boss of NCIS, her name is Jenny."
"Hey, kids...what are you doing, DiNozzo?"
"Oh, just giving them a tour...so, Director Shepard, am I getting a raise soon?"
"Tony!"
"Come on kids, does Tony deserve a raise?"
"YEAH!"
"ding...ding...add another ice cream...ok, it's time to go..."
They walk out Shepard's office and Tony points at spot by MTAC, Junior Field Agent McGee once puked right there on a Halloween, too much sweetarts."
"Ewwww..."
"I know...and to think, you didn't even see it..." ...shivers..
Tony now looking down, see that desk there?
"The one McGee was sitting at?"
"Yeah, McGee's head has been super-glued to it twice."
"That must've hurt."
"Probably, it certainly looked painful"
Tony and girls are now in Abby's lab
"Hey, Abs." Tony hands her a caf-pow..
"Awww...thanks, Tony and I didn't get you anything."
"You wouldn't have to have anymore of the ice cream, would ya?"
"I sure do, I'll get it for ya."
"Thanks, Abs."
"Tony walks over and grabs Bert and hands it up to Sienna." She squeezes it. (farts)
Sienna laughs..."so, she can talk, huh?" as Tony lifts her off his shoulders and places her on the stool next to Megan.
"You're really good with kids, Tony." As Abby hands him the ice cream
"Shhh, don't tell anyone." Tony pulls 4 sporks out of his pocket...handing them out to everyone.
"Do I want to know why you have sporks in your pocket?"
"...'cus sporks rule, that's why."
Abby shakes her head..."You just ain't right."
They all eat their ice cream...
"So, now what do you want to do?"
"Sienna likes to play makeup."
Tony looks confused, "What's that?"
"It's where she puts makeup on someone, usually me."
"You think you'd want to do that Abby?"
"I'm sorry, Megan, I can't today, I'm awful busy."
"I'll do it."
"Really?...you'd let Sienna put makeup on you, Tony?"
"Sure, it'll come off, right?"
"I dunno about this Tony." Abby said having a worried look on her face
"Go ahead, I'm stuck on desk work anyway."
"Ok, before you gals start, if you're gonna do it, you should go all out."
"heh...do your worst Abs."
Abby pulls out her makeup kit, her BIG one..."I'm sorry, Tony."
They start putting makeup on Tony."
"Now, what's this called?"
"It's eyeshadow, Tony."
"Oh...and that?"
"That's mascara."
"What color lipstick should we give him, Abby?"
"Definitely black."
"I thought you were awful busy, Abs?"
Abby lets out an evil laugh..."..not anymore and this is fun."...she giggles..
Megan thinks to herself..."I think he needs a few hair clips, Abby."
"I do?"
They put hair clips in Tony hair and Sienna puts powder on his face.
"What, are you turning me into, a clown?"
"No, worse..." as Abby lets out another evil laugh
"Oh, I have something perfect..."...Megan starts searching though her bag...she starts placing ideas from her bag onto the table.
"Hey, is that a new game or something?" Tony points at a square box with a name: "Dragonskin" on it.
"I dunno, it's my dads."
"Aww, too bad, I wanted to make McGee jealous."
"Oh well, I can't find it." Megan returns her items to her bag and zips it up.
"Am I done?"
"Almost, Tony." ...as Abby finishes up working on the lips.
"Wow, Abby, it's kind of scary...if he had longer hair."
"I see what you mean..."
"I don't want to look do I?" Tony said in a depressing tone
"You look bootiful." Sienna blurted out.
"Awww, she's adorable. I want kids, Tony."
"With me?"
"Sure."
"What?"
"I'm kidding, but I'm not...you would be a good dad..."
"Ok, you're done, Tony...close your eyes and we'll take you to a mirror."
Tony stands up and closes his eyes...Abby grabs one arm and Megan grabs the other and led him to a mirror.
"Ok, Tony...open your eyes!"
Tony opens his eyes..."Hey there, Abby"
"What Tony?"
Tony looks to his left and sees Abby then back forward, then back to his left, then back to the mirror..."Holy crap...I look like you."
The girls laugh
"Hey, am I the only one who's a little worried about the fact I look like you, minus the hair."
"You've got great skin, Tony."
"I do...don't I?...Hey, stop it!"
"All you need now is a dog collar."
"heh...you got one to fit me?"
"I should...let me look."
"One thing, why is my face all white, yours isn't like that?"
"Sienna went a little over board."
"Man, I look like you, Abby."
Abby puts a collar on Tony..."...your new name is Tabby."
"Tabby?"
"Don't touch your face, Tony...you're smudging your makeup."
"Sorry...hey, I got an idea...how about I take your place when Gibbs and everyone gets back and we scared the crap out of them?"
"Brilliant idea, Tabby...brilliant."
The elevator beeps
"Hurry everyone, into my office!" Abby, Megan and Sienna run into Abby's office and hide.
"Tony get at the keyboard, slouch some and put on that long lab coat.." ...Tony puts on the lab coat, slouches as much as he can and turns off the light.
The elevator beeps and the door opens
"Hey Abby, why's the light out?"
"I have a headache, Gibbs."
"You sound weird, Abby, you catching a cold?"
Gibbs walks over to Tony sitting at computer and puts his hand on his shoulder. "What you got, Abs?"
Tony turns around...Gibbs jumps back..."what the...?"...as Abby runs out from her office.
"DiNozzo!? Are you freakin' kidding me?"
"its name is actually Tabby." Abby laughs.
"Sorry, Boss."
"I'm scared, DiNozzo...please tell me you haven't seen the shrink yet."...shakes head and lets out a laugh
Tony takes off the lab coat and picks up Sienna and puts her on his shoulder again..."Shall we continue the tour?"
Megan nods and they step into the elevator.
"Please tell me that wasn't DiNozzo's idea."
"He let the girls put makeup on him, he was just keeping them company...and I...umm, help."
Gibbs lets out a chuckle, "I see that."
Anyway, what did you find out?
"The skin samples under his fingernails were his own...the blood sample came back with high traces of horse tranquilizer, but you already knew that. Sorry, Gibbs."
Tony and the girls get off the elevator on the squad room floor.
A shocked McGee...just sits and watches as they walk by.
A tired Ziva walks with her head down
"Hey, baby..." as they walk by.
Ziva looks up and back, "Tony?"
Tony walks down the hallway, heading toward the psyche-area.
"Oh, Dr. Gillian?"
Turning around in her chair..."Yes, may I hel..."
"Hey girls, do you think I should be put back on active duty?"
"YEAH!"
"Sorry, girls...I'm all out of ice cream. How about caf-pow?"
"Sure."
"Then off we go." As a very confused Ziva walks behind them...
"Tony?"
"Yes?"
"What are you doing?'
"Beverage break...is it alright if Ziva joins us, girls?"
"That would be great."
"Know any songs, girls?"
Megan starts to sing, "we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of the oz."
Tony offers Ziva and Megan an arm and they skip their way to the break area.
Dr. Gillian peeks out the door as they skip down the hallway. "I should've taken that job at the FBI."
Tony, Ziva and the girls sit in the break room.
"What was with that whole thing with the skipping?"
"I was just trying to show the girls a good time, trying to make them forget." ...as he starts to take off his makeup.
"Here, let me do that" Ziva wipes it off with a napkin.
"I think I came back too early...the shrink asked me some questions I didn't want to hear."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"Naw, you already have too much on your mind."
"We're pretty much at a standstill."
Tony rubs Ziva's back, "Why, what's the case about anyway?"
"Oh, about some high tech new body armor, snakeskin or something."
"snakeskin? wait, was it dragonskin?"
"Yeah, it was...why?"
"Megan, could you bring me that thing of your dads, please."
"Yeah, sure."
Megan gets in her bag and brings over the square
"I need to borrow this, ok?"
"Sure, Tony."
"Solve the case, Ziva." Tony hands her the square
Ziva slaps Tony on the back of the head..."cheer up, would ya? Remember I have a surprise for you later."
"heh...I do love surprises."
"Megan?"
"Yeah, Ziva?"
"Could you help take off his makeup for me?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Thanks" ...and she leaves...
"The box we got from Tony is just the design specs for the dragonskin."
"Then he was dirty, he was looking to sell them."
"But who, Boss?"
"If I knew that McGee, he'd have my foot in his ass already."
Gibbs walks to the elevator..."I'll be in autopsy, if you need me."
-----------------------
Gibbs arrives in autopsy, "I need to know about that weird scar, Ducky."
"Oh, Jethro...I did have a look at that after you left and if I have my calculations correct, he put the square inside his own skin to sneak it out."
"Any trace left inside the wound?"
"None."
"Why sneak it out like that?"
"Shame?"
Gibbs is visible upset...he leaves..
Gibbs enters the lab
"Anything knew, Abs?"
"Other than DiNozzo being a really ugly woman?"
"Yes, besides that...and I didn't think he looked that bad."
Abby shudders..."anyway, only Tony's, Captain Phoenix and Megan's prints are on the case. None on the memory card, the Captain's DNA is on case, I found a small trace glitter. Probably from the girls."
"What kind of glitter?"
"Just your average glitter, Gibbs."
"Run some kind of doo-dad on it."
"All right, Gibbs."
"I need to talk to those girls..."
Tony?"..."Wake up, Tony."..."Come on, Tony, open your eyes."
Tony raises his head..."Kate?"
"Yes, it's me, Tony."
"Wow, you look great for being dead."
"Tony!"
"I mean heaven must have some killer stair climbers."
"Tony! Is that all I ever meant to you?"
"What do you expect from me, Kate? You teased the living hell out of me. Then when you finally let in, I got to have you once."
"One night, Tony...not just once."
"I would give anything to relive that night...anything."
"Tony..."
"...and you got 50 of me, you didn't get to have all of me. You got the Y-pestis Tony."
"If it means anything to you...you at 50 was better than anyone I've ever had."
"No it doesn't...wait, really?"
Kate laughs..."I knew that get the DiNozzo ego a goin'."
"heh...well, you know me Kate."
"You're hard to love, Tony."
"I know, I get that from my deep psychological problem with my mother. It's not like...I enjoyed using woman. It was just easy for me. It was just sex...can't get hurt, if I don't get too close...but, Kate you were different."
"How so, Tony?"
"You never took any of my BS, you shoveled it right back at me. That's hot, Kate. I mean really hot."
"What about Ziva?"
"She doesn't shovel it back, she uses a bulldozer to run you over. She scares me, Kate."
"Scares you?"
"In a good way...like, damn, this is gonna hurt...soooo good."
(DiNozzo!)
"What the hell was that?"
"It means you're about to wake up."
"...but I don't want, too."
"Yes you do, Tony...remember Ziva still has her surprise to give to you."
"Will I ever talk to you again, Kate?"
"Let go, Tony...let me go."
"I love you, Kate."
...silence...
"Do you hear me, Kate...I LOVE YOU!"
(DiNozzo!)
"I will always love you..."
Kate appears behind Tony...she hugs him...and whispers in his ear..."Ditto"...then vanishes...
"Damn it, DiNozzo, wake up...you're back on active duty...and apparently you got a raise.."
"Ghost..."
"What DiNozzo?"
"Nothing, Boss."
"What about the girls, Gibbs?"
"CPS is here, in the squad room...we're going to Abby, you can talk to them if you want."
"Thanks, Boss...come on, girls."
Tony picks up their bag and takes them to the squad room.
"Are you the people from CPS?" Two men dressed in black suits stand in a vacant squad room.
"Yes, we are, sir."
"Did you find their Grandmother?"
"Not yet, but we'll be taking them with us."
"We don't want to go, Tony."
"Hey, can they stay with me until you guys find their grandmother?"
"Absolute not"...as one of the men grabs Sienna.
"Hey, man...you don't have to do that!"...Tony steps towards him and the other man hits him over the head with a gun...Tony falls on the floor as they grab Megan and her bag and run into the elevator."
Tony stands and runs to the window, he sees that they are driving a black SUV. Tony bangs on the window and one of the men pulls a gun and fires in Tony's direction, shooting out the glass, the shattered glass opens up a gash on Tony's chin and neck. Tony pulls his gun and fires twice, hitting him both times, both in the shoulder. He jumps in the car...
"Tony!" Megan screams
The SUV speeds away as Tony looks down, seeing a UPS truck.
"Don't do it, Anthony...don't..."...Tony jumps.."...you crazy bastard!"
Tony lands, then rolls off the roof, grabbing the side view mirror, hurting his shoulder..."damn it!"..
Tony drops..." I need your truck."
"What?" Tony throws him out and tosses him his badge.
Tony hits the gas and speeds off after them...
"What the hell happened?"
Jen rushes out of her office..."I have no idea, but I heard multiple gunshots."
Ziva looks around, "Where's Tony?"
"He's suppose to be meeting the CPS here."
"The girls are missing, too, Boss."
Gibbs speed dials Tony
The sound of Tony's ringtone is heard..
"Where's that coming from?"
They all search..."hey, I found it, it's out on the ledge here, Boss."
"What? Tony fell out the window!?"
Gibbs looks down and see the UPS guy looking upwards.
"Hey, some guy just stole my truck!"
Gibbs hollers down, "What did he look like!?!"
"He threw me this badge!"
"We'll be right down."
The team goes downstairs...
"Tell me what happened.."
"I dunno, man...all hell broke loose, I was in back doing something and I heard gunfire and then some guy fell on my truck or something, then he came in here and threw me out and toss me this badge."
Gibbs takes Tony's badge..."How long ago? Which way did he go?"
"Couple minutes. He went left and he was bleeding pretty badly, man.."
"Let's go..."
"Damn it, I lost my cell."
Tony smashes into cars left and right, chasing them down one way streets and alleys...they turn a sharp left and Tony nearly over turns the truck.
The black SUV speeds through a red light, but is t-boned by another truck...a body is tossed from SUV. Tony slams on the breaks and is hit from behind and Tony is knocked out through the open door.
Tony struggles to get up...he makes his way over to man who was thrown from the SUV, he was the driver. He was dead. His neck was broken.
"Hey, call the police!"
Tony limps over to the SUV. The man he shot is holding Megan hostage, his gun to her head.
"Put it down...it's over."
The man is screaming, "I'll kill her, man!"
"Put your damn gun down!"
Tony realizes he's lost his gun. He turns around and sees it by the truck. "Damn it."
"Don't hurt her...what do you want!?"
"I want the memory card...she has it."
"No, she doesn't."
"Yes, she does."
"Stay calm, Megan...we found the memory card, its back at NCIS."
"No, she has it!"
"No she doesn't, let her go, damn it!"
His arm starts to shake...
"Don't do anything stupid!"
He pulls the trigger, shooting Megan in the head.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
He turns his gun on Tony, firing a couple time, then goes after Sienna."
Tony runs at him screaming...he turns the gun back on Tony, shooting him in the left arm.
Tony doesn't flinch...he continues, pulling his knife...the man pulls the trigger again, Tony grabs the slide, stopping it from firing and stabs downwards, his blade smashes through his skull, entering his brain, Tony snaps the blade off. Tony pulls the gun from his hand and empties the clip into his face.
Tony drops the gun, then drops to his knees, taking Megan in his arms.
"God...no...why?"
"T...Tony?"
again..."Tony?"
Tony looks to his left, seeing Sienna, blood on her face, still inside the car.
He lets Megan slide out of his hands, her blood covering his hands and chest.
"I'm coming Sienna."
"Freeze! This is the Washington D.C. people, put your hands up!"
Tony struggles towards the car..
"Sir, if you don't stop, we will shoot you."
"Then shoot me, I don't care anymore." ...as he reaches in and grabs Sienna.
"Sir?"
"Hold fire."
Tony picks up Sienna, holding her away from her sister's body and walks toward the police
"she needs an ambulance."
Police rush in..."paramedics are standing by."
"You've been shot..."
"Take care of her first." ..as he hands her over to the paramedic.
"Where you going, sir?"
"I have to get my gun."
"Who are you?"
"NCIS" as Gibbs walks into frame
"Tony...here.." McGee gets under his arm and helps him walk
"I have your gun, Tony." Tony takes his gun from Ziva and starts back towards Megan
"Tony...she's dead.."
"I know..." Ziva runs to him
"Damn it, stop!"...Tony stops..."this isn't your fault"
"I dropped my gun..."
"Tony, you're bleeding..."
"I don't deserve any help..."
"Tony...look at me.." Ziva gets in his face..."look at me, Tony!"
Tony looks into her eyes...she puts her hands on his face...
"I couldn't save her, Ziva. I tried, but I couldn't."
Gibbs points towards Tony, sending a paramedic his way
"Sir, please come with us."
Tony looks towards them and then looks away.
"Tony..."...Ziva moves his face so he's looking at her again. Ziva kisses him...then whispers something in his ear...she backs up, wiping tears from her eyes and walks back towards Gibbs.
Tony looks at Ziva...then at the paramedic...then back at Ziva...Tony heads off with the help of the paramedic.
Ziva walks past McGee and then Gibbs.
"Ziva, what did you tell him?"
"I'm pregnant."
