Gibbs and Fornell walked towards the elevator leaving the other four agents alone in the bullpen with the tension high. Ziva was still fuming at the FBI agent after his remark that she couldn't fight, just because she was a girl. I'll show him one day...

"Where are they going?" Agent Addison asked as he saw the two men step into the lift.

"To their secret meeting place, which we all know about; not very secret, it's just the lift." McGee said still sussing out the new agent. Ziva went and sat behind her desk opening the top draw and retrieving her knife and using it to clean her nails as she looked at Ryan from the corner of her eye. Tony noticed straight away that she was again playing with her knife and knew she must be quite angry at Addison; that's usually when the knife comes out, when she's pissed. Tony couldn't help but smirk knowing that the FBI agent would have no chance with his partner, if only he had kept his mouth shut, not that Tony cares he didn't.

Ryan watched Agent David as she sat behind her desk and pulled out a knife using it for her nails. Wow, that is hot. He thought as his eyes stayed fixed on her. He still couldn't believe that she was ex Mossad; did that make her an assassin? No she couldn't possibly be, she is so beautiful and …a women, a very sexy one at that. As she continued to fiddle with her knife he had second thoughts; she did have a fierce look as she glanced up at him now and then, and how many average women use a knife as a nail file? He decided to again approach her, for some reason she fascinated him and he couldn't just leave her alone.

"Agent David…" he said in his best charming voice. "Do we have a first name?" She looked up at him gripping the knife tightly, clearly annoyed and sighed before forcing an answer.

"Ziva… What is it to you anyway?" She said this ice cold as her face stayed neutral. He had never had this reaction before, is she playing hard to get? This only made him more fascinated in her, he was hoping now that they would be going undercover together so he could show off a little and work his magic. Ziva was not playing hard to get at all. In a matter of 5 minutes she had become to loath the man, she wasn't sure if that would ever change but at the moment it seemed unlikely, she was just hoping Gibbs and Fornell would come back soon to save her from the dying conversation, on her part.

"Just curious, also we will be partners." Ziva's eyes widened as she looked up at Tony whose eyes were equally as big as hers.

"Excuse me, what?"

"The undercover OP, I will be undercover with you." He put on a charming smile and she just looked back shocked. Tony on the other hand was a mixture between wanting to laugh at Ziva for having to put up with the cocky arse, but also feeling disappointed that she would spend a lot of time with Ryan and not him. Why should that bother me? It's not like we are going out or anything, it's Ziva.

"Don't count on it" she said simply before turning away from him and putting her feet up on the desk, she ended the conversation not wanting to talk about the possibility of doing a whole undercover operation with him. Now Tony smirked as the charming smile on Ryan's face faded, he just got rejected and Tony couldn't be happier. McGee just took in the whole scenario, confused as usual and then all four of them stood up with the 'ding' of the elevator.

Gibbs stepped out of the elevator with Fornell close behind as they approached the group of four nervous agents.

"With me" Gibbs said throwing his head towards the staircase expecting them to follow.

"All of us Boss?" McGee hesitated following and waited for his boss to spin stop and give an invitation.

"Yes, all of you McGee. Now come on." They all followed as Gibbs powered up the staircase and towards the director's office, disregarding the calling of his receptionist as he opened the door and barged in. The director saw all six of them and rubbed his forehead knowing what was to come.

"Oh crap" he mumbled, barely audible as Gibbs walked right up to his desk.

"When were you going to tell us Director" he said dragging out the "Di-rec-tor" part.

"Look Gibbs I only found out about this and sorted it out recently. I didn't expect we would get down to business so quickly" he looked over at the two FBI agents as he said this regarding their appearance.

"Vance, the guy has killed 12 women already; it is a matter of urgency." He nodded at Fornell then turned back to Gibbs and the rest of the team.

"You will have our full assistance on the matter Agent Fornell, what's the plan?" Fornell step forward besides Gibbs to explain.

"We will be having Agent Addison and David undercover together…"

"Are you serious?" She accidently said out loud cutting off Fornell. She immediately regretted it as she was getting disapproved glances from FBI and the director; Tony just smirked at her in amusement as she threw back an annoyed look.

"And why would we not be serious Agent David?"

"I am sorry, that just came out… I mean, should I not be partnered with Tony? We have been partners for almost 6 years."

"Yes but I have background and Intel on the case, I also know what I'm doing." Ryan said smiling at Ziva. Tony really hated this guy now, he was a fountain of insults.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Tony interjected

"Oi, cut it out!" Gibbs rolled his eyes as he could see how this was going to work out, for however long this Op was. "Can we please get back to work?"

"The man we are looking at is an Adam Miller, he is virtually a nobody. He has been floating around holiday resorts for months now and this seems to be the place where he picks up the victims. We have not linked all of the victims to the resorts but most of them have been, the others were at least in the same area as him at the time of their murder. We haven't been able to find much on the guy except that he was born in Virginia and is currently 35 years old. We have been tracking his finances and movements and he has booked in to the Clearwater Beach resort in Florida for next week." Fornell spun around to address Ziva and Ryan on the next part. "This is where you two come in; Ziva you will be a tourist staying at the hotel for the week. Your job, is to attract Adam, see if he makes a move, we need proof that this is our guy so we will have eyes on you at all times; you think you can handle that?" She nodded her head ready for her task, just not wanting it to be with Ryan.

"Do you have an alias for her?" Gibbs interjected

"Yes, Leilah Kalish. You're still Israeli but, can't do much about the accent" There were a few chuckles in the room and Ziva frowned, Leilah, that is going to be some getting used to. "Ryan, you will be going undercover as resort staff; bartending, room service, waiter, whatever we need. Your Ziva's only back-up on site, the rest of us won't be far but if it's a matter of moments you need to be there for her." Ziva sighed in relief knowing that he would not be right next to her the whole time, Ryan on the other hand was quite disappointed in his position; a waiter, really?

"I will work with Abby on how to keep in contact with them."

"Yeah, you go do that McGee."

"Everyone, we will have to leave in three days that is including today so we will have to get to work on making a solid plan. I will go back to the agency with Ryan to sort out some final details and we will meet in 2 hours. Sound good?" Everyone nodded before Fornell and Addison left the office. McGee then went to see Abby while Tony grabbed Ziva's arm and also led her out of the room shutting the door behind them. Ziva couldn't believe that they had made plans for a whole undercover operation centred on her and she didn't even know about it. In three days she would be flying down to Florida to be bait for a serial killer who targets women like her, foreign, different.

"Can you believe that guy?" Tony said interrupting her thoughts.

"I do not like him, there is something about him."

"Yeah the way he keeps trying to charm you, it's creepy. He is so cocky!"

"Does that not remind you of someone Tony?" She smiled playfully raising an eyebrow, and he let out a fit of laughter before cutting it off and giving her a dead serious look. "Well you have to admit; a little while back you were the womanizer yes?"

"Okay, maybe a little. But not like him, he is just…" He shivered dramatically and she rolled her eyes, but also agreed. He was creepy and a lot cockier than Tony ever was. She loathed him, there was something about him that made her stomach churn. "What about the whole 'I know what I'm doing' comment! And also the whole thing about you not being able to fight, man I would love to see you take him on…" He stopped when seeing anger cross her face, it had really affected her.

"Yes Tony I get it, he is an arsehole." Tony smiled acknowledging that she got the Idiom correct. They walked down to the bullpen and sat behind their desks, he watched her the whole time as she fumed. She really hated the guy and Tony couldn't help but take pleasure in that.

"So what do you think of the whole OP? Thanks for sticking up for me being your partner and all." She closed her eyes and then looked up at him, she was not in the mood the talk, all she could think about was Special Agent Ryan Addison.

"It sounds like a good plan, except I am not sure how Ryan is meant to help being a Bartender."

"Maybe they just want him to feel involved." Tony smirked as Ziva again rolled her eyes. "What are you going to do for the next 2 hours? Wanna grab a bite?"

"No… I think I am going to shoot something." Tony's eye brows peaked as he looked at her serious face.

"How about a compromise, we go grab lunch and then we go to the shooting range…" She smiled at how much he was trying to have lunch with her and gave in.

"Sure" although she wouldn't admit it she was happy he had pushed to have lunch with her and it gave her a warm feeling inside. She tried to dismiss it, in denial that she has feelings for her partner. But the feeling would not subside as a smile grew on her face, with Tony's also growing back. She grabbed her coat, gun, badge and phone and let Tony lead them out of the building.

Three rounds were fired as Ziva aimed for her target, a black silhouette with a target drawn to its chest. The sheet would normally have 3 shots in the most inner ring almost on top of each other, but as Tony glanced over he could see she got none in the middle of the target.

"Wow, that's not like you to not get three perfect shots in." She glanced at him frustrated and he knew something was up. "Hey Ziva, are you ok?"

"Yes, I am fine. Why would you ask that?" Tony looked between the target and Ziva as if it was obvious.

"Something's up otherwise you would have killed the guy." He smiled as he referred to the Silhouette but he didn't get a smile in return. She held up her gun and shot three more rounds in frustration still not hitting the target. What is wrong with me! Tony could see that she was getting more and more frustrated as well as more and more off target. "Ziva, have a break. Come with me." He tugged at her elbow hoping she would come without a fight, and she sighed as he pulled her over to the bench and they sat down. "Talk to me, I'm your partner." She ran her tongue across her top set of teeth under her lip as she looked away.

"This is going to sound really stupid."

"I don't care, now out with it." He again attempted a smile and only got a very weak one in return.

"Well, nothing is wrong as such. It is just… I have a bad feeling about this, normally I do not believe in Gibbs philosophy about his gut, but… I just have a bad feeling that's all." She looked up at him scared he would think she was crazy but she saw him nodding.

"I know what you mean." He squeezed her arm as she smiled back in return, Tony always made her feel better even if there was not much said. Ziva looked up at her target and saw the bullet holes strewn across the sheet, none in the actually target.

"Ok, now I really need to shoot something." She stood up and walked back over to the firing cubical grabbing her gun, she aimed and was about to fire when a voice startled her.

"Wow, for a lethal weapon you can't shoot too well." She recognised the voice instantly and her hands tightened around the gun, she was tempted to turn around and shoot the man standing behind her instead of the silhouette but she knew that wouldn't turn out too well. She lowered her gun and bit her tongue waiting for him to either say something or go away but she could feel his presence as he stood behind her… close.

"Do you want something, Special Agent Addison?" She spun around and immediately regretted it as he took a step closer and she found herself stepping back up against the barrier. He was so close that she could see the blood vessels in his eyes and she pushed against his chest to clear some room.

"Yes, I would like to have a drink with you."

"No" slipped out of her mouth without even having to think. The man was amazingly sexy and ruggedly handsome, yet he had too much ego and pride which ticked her off.

"Why not?"

"Because… I do not have to explain myself, now please excuse me."

"Not until you say yes." She sighed and looked around agitated then back at him, she took a step towards him surprising Him, Tony who had been watching and herself. Her face was only inches from his when she finally whispered a response.

"Never. Going. To happen." She turned around, pulled out her gun and shot three rounds, every one making it in the dead centre of the target. With a satisfying smirk on her face she spun around and pushed her way past Ryan who was in complete shock. For one thing, she had said no to him and he couldn't believe it; what he also couldn't believe was the three perfect shots in the centre of her target.

A.N: Ok so my question for you is... what do we think do Ryan so far? Would love reviews with your thoughts to see how he is portrayed to y'all. So I really do hope you enjoyed it! If you want me to continue say the word and I will! Please review and cant wait to hear all your thoughts on 'Special Agent Ryan Addison'
