Title: The Too Young series: The Forbidden

Author: Diana2122

Disclaimer: I don't own the show NCIS, I'm just borrowing the characters for the story.

Warnings: This story will contain corporal punishment of a teen/adult (depending on how you see Ziva at 19 years old in this story). If you have a problem with it then please do not read and instead hit the back botton now.

A/N: This story is part of my series called Too young, where Ziva is nineteen years old and has been assigned as Liaison Officer to Gibbs' team (just like on the show). She is taken care of by, and also seen as the responsibility of, Gibbs and occasionally also Director Jenny Sheperd since the two of them were the ones that decided she could stay at NCIS regardless of her young age.

I wrote "Staying Focused" as the first story about a younger Ziva and I've had to make some changes to that story to make everything work better as a series. "Staying Focused" is still included in the series though of course.

The first change is that Ziva is nineteen, not twenty three and I have my reasons for making that change. The second change is that in this series Gibbs only administers Corporal Punishment to Ziva, (because of her age and the fact that he has taken responsibility for her training and safety) not the rest of the team. The third and last change is that "Staying Focused" takes place at the beginning of season three, not the end of the season. In this story the team has been informed of Ziva's age.

A/N 2: This is the third story about Ziva in my Too Young series.

CHAPTER 2

"Tony"

"Yes, McGee. What is it now?" Getting bounced around in the back of a dirty truck tended to make Tony a little grumpy and he really wasn't in the mood for McGee getting into one of his moods that made him ask one million stupid questions in a row.

"Do you really think it was a good idea for us to leave Ziva alone back at that gas station?!" McGee shouted to be heard over all the bleating coming from the ten sheep they were riding with.

"Yes, Probie. Of course it was a good idea and Gibbs will love it." he said with sarcasm as he rolled his eyes at the Junior Agent's stupidity.

"Oh come on, DiNozzo give me a break for once. I'm really worried. What if she does something stupid. Or what if there is a whole bunch of people working with Warren back in that town. She could get hurt." he could feel a "babble" coming on. It was something he did sometimes when he was nervous. Abby had been the one to detect it and he secretly believed he had gotten it from her. However, he had chosen not to point that out to the black haired lab tech.

Tony could see the worry in McGee's eyes and he softened slightly. "Okay so it might not have been the best idea we've ever had but I guess I just didn't think. We didn't think" he corrected himself, remembering Tim had been a part of it too, "We just reacted." he was quiet for a minute as he tried to size up the situation and think of the best way for them to act. There was no point in jumping off the truck and start walking back and the odds of another vehicle happening to pass by them on the way were slim to none on the road they were on. "I'm sure she'll be fine. We'll go back as soon as we can. As soon as we get to "Quietville" we'll find Warren in a matter of minutes with Abby's help and then we can find a car and go back to the gas station, get Ziva and drive back to NCIS."

McGee nodded. But he also had another gnawing concern. Finally he asked Tony, "Do you think Gibbs will find out?"

"I'm hoping not...unless Ziva tells him."

McGee gulped. "Do you think she will?"

"Well, Probie, we practically deserted her with a car with no gas in it to go get the bad guy ourselves so..."

"Yeah, she might be a little testy about that." Tim admitted.

"Mhm. But no, I don't think she really wants to get us in trouble with Gibbs since she knows what that's like. She might resort to a little back mail though....or a lot."

McGee sighed and tried to keep an ewe at bay by thrusting his elbow into its chest "Great." he said as he sneezed for the twentieth time since they climbed up in the back of the truck.

A/N: Please review after you've read. It really motivates me to keep going. You must think something about what you read right. It would be really nice if I got to read those thoughts, thanks.
