Sorry it took me so long to update. I'm kinda busy :(
So here it is! hope you like it..
And thank you MissLozzieB for beta-reading my story again!
Ziva went to sleep very early that night, she was very tired and had a lot of
pain. The painkillers helped, but not enough. The next morning, Tony was up
early. He was getting coffee, and told the guard at the door, no one was
allowed inside, accept Gibbs or someone else from the team.
When he returned a couple of minutes later, he had two large cups of coffee in
his hands. He did not know if Ziva was allowed to drink some coffee yet, but
he took it just because he knew she would like it. When he entered the room
where Ziva was, she sat up in bed with the book Tony was reading the other
night.
"Hi Zi! It looks like you feel a lot better!" he said.
"Yes, the painkillers finally began to work, and I'm not so tired any more.
Oooh, I see that you have coffee! Finally! I could use it."
"That's great!" he said. He sat down at the edge of her bed, and gave her a
cup of coffee. They had a little small talk and he could see that she already
was a little more cheerful and energetic. Whether it's because of the coffee
or not, he did not care.
"I really have to ask this. Sorry Zi, but can you remember who did this?" He
asked after a while.
"I ... I do not know. No I can not remember anything," she replied.
"Do you remember whether is was a man or a woman?"
"I told you Tony! I do not remember" She said and tears filled her eyes.
"Sorry, I thought, maybe you knew something. And I want to catch the bastard
who did this to you!." Responded Tony, and he placed a gentle kiss on her
forehead and pulled her into a hug.
"Please, if you remember something, tell me immediately, I want to catch this
bastard who did this to my Ziva" He didn't realized he said 'My Ziva'. That's
what he called her often if she wasn't around. He was a little scared for her
reaction, but she pulled him even closer to her. They sat there like that for
a couple of minutes.
"Wait! I know the license plate of the car!" Ziva shouted suddenly.
"Really! Oh that's awesome! Are you sure? I'll call McGee right now!" Tony
shouted back just as hard.
"Yes! Quite sure. I have a photographic memory, remember? I knew it was wrong
so I looked at the license plate of the car. I guess I can not remember who it
was because ... well why not? Maybe he had a cap or something? Well I do not
know.. the plate is 4LAM390."
"Okay, great! I'll call McGee."
Tony immediately called McGee and after five rings he answered.
"What took you so long McBusy?" Tony said.
"Could find my phone, I'm sorry Tony."
"Never apologize, it's a sign of weakness" Tony heard Gibbs say on the other
side of the phone.
"Sorry boss!" McGee said.
"McGee!" shouted Gibbs.
