Constance laughs as Tony and Ziva stepped past an exiting Ducky into Abby's lab. She turns, looking at Tony..."Did you know Abby has dreams of you running around a Zoo naked?"
"Yup."...Tony said without skipping a beat..."How's pizza sound?"
She just looked at Tony, kinda stunned.
Abby laughs..."Nothing phases him."
"Except."...Ziva laughs, coming to Tony's left side.
"Except for what?"...Constance curiously wondered.
"Rats."...Ziva chuckled.
"You're scared of rats?"...Constance shook her head..."Rats?"
Tony glared at Ziva..."That happens when you get the plague, Zee-vah."
"Did you say...plague?"...Constance said, her eyes widening.
"I'll tell ya later."...Abby smiled..."Oh, by the way..."
"Yeah?"...Still not being able to get the plague thoughts out of her head.
"Do your friends call you Connie?"
Constance shook her head quickly left-to-right..."No, no, no, no, no, no, no...not if you want to be my friend that is."
Abby nods..."And your middle name?"
"It's Marie."...Ziva called out.
Tony lowers his head and sighs.
"What is it, Tony?"...Ziva asked, concerned.
"Marie."...Tony flashes a week smile, but it quickly disappears..."Come on, Constance, lets get your stuff."
Abby steps towards Tony..."Oh, Tony, I'm running all the normal tests on the mud and on that piece of fabric you found in the woods. Should be finished by the time you get back from lunch."
"Thanks, Abs...you want me to bring you back a slice?"
"You know it!"...Abby smiled.
Tony steps out of the room, Constance right behind him..."And a Caf-Pow!"...Abby added to the order.
Ziva smacks herself on the forehead..."Im hatipshut hayta etz, ata hayita chorshat kakal!"
"Okay, don't worry about the Caf-Pow."...Abby said, thinking Ziva was mad at her.
"I'm an idiot, Abby."
"Because of a Caf-Pow?"...Abby was confused.
"What?"...Ziva shook her head..."No, no. Marie. That was his mother's name."
"Ohhhh."...Abby opens her arms, taking a step towards her..."Awwww...wanna hug?"
Ziva steps towards Abby, but stops..."Did she say you HAVE dreams and not HAD dreams?"
Abby nervously laughs..."Want to compare notes?"...She smirked playfully.
Ziva rolls her eyes and walks towards the door and steps across to the elevator, pushing the button.
"Oh, Ziva..."...Abby picks up a specimen cup and starts towards the door.
"Still not peeing in that cup, Abby."...Ziva firmly spoke, just before the elevator doors closed.

"Major Fitchner?"...Gibbs lifts his arm, showing his badge, then ID to a woman in Marine dress uniform ..."Special Agent Gibbs, McGee...NCIS."
A dark haired, caucasion woman stood, she was in her early 40s, her hair pulled back in a bun..."Yes?"
"Lt. Diana Jensen."
"She's under my command, wait a moment and I'll get her for you."...The Major lifts her phone.
"That won't be necessary, she was murdered this morning in Rock Creek Park."
"Excuse me?"...The Major gazed at Gibbs, then McGee.
"Do you know of anyone who had a problem with her?"
Major Fitchner fell back into her chair, looking distraught.
"Are you alright, Ma'am?"...McGee asked.
She leaned forward, rubbing her forehead..."I was in Iraq for 18 months, didn't lose a single soul and she dies in Rock Creek Park of all places?"
"Murdered, Major"...Gibbs spoke.
"How?"
"She was stabbed 27 times."...Gibbs told.
"Oh my God."...She placed her elbows on her desk, burying her face into her hand.
"Did she get along with everyone?"
"Everyone loved Diana, she was so sweet...she loved to bake, always experimenting and we were her guinea pigs. I honestly have no clue who could or want to hurt her, Agent Gibbs. This is just terrible."
"Did she have a boyfriend?"
"I dunno, she never talked about it, well, to me anyway."
Gibbs gestures towards McGee.
"Want me to talk to her other co-workers, Boss?"
Gibbs just glared at him.
"On it, Boss."...McGee turned and left the Major's office.
"What exactly was the Lieutenants job here?"...Gibbs questioned.
"She handled enlistment disputes and grievances."
"I'd like to take a look at those."
"Of course, you don't think someone who, who..."
"Everyone's a suspect, Major...speaking of which, where were you just before 6 a.m.?"
"Trying to get into the bathroom, I have three teenage daughters."
Gibbs softly chuckles, shaking his head.
"Yeah, tell me about it."...She lifts her phone and pushes in a button..."How far back?"
"How old has she been here?"
"9 months."...Before Gibbs could answer, she already knew it..."Get me every single piece of paper Lt. Jensen worked on since she's been here."
"Boss, a Lt. Sharon Hoos told me she has a boyfriend."...McGee said, looking at his note on his iPhone as he walked back into the office..."Or did, they apparently broke up, he cheated on her a couple weeks ago."
"Name?"
"She didn't know, but I found this photo in Lt. Jensen's desk and Lt. Hoos confirmed it to be the boyfriend."...McGee held up a photo of Lt. Jensen and man with a buzz cut.
"Send it to Abby, get her to do that thing with that thing."
"The facial recognition software...thing, Gibbs?"
Gibbs turns and moves towards McGee, staring at him.
"On it, Boss."...McGee quickly disappears back through the door.
------------
Tony, Ziva and Constance were sitting in a booth inside a pizza parlor, Constance was in the middle.
"Here."...Constance said, handing Tony a stack of photos.
He took the photos into his hand, the top one was of Constance when she was just baby. Tony swallowed hard seeing it, getting choked up. He looked at Ziva.
"I weighed 8 lbs and 11 oz."
Tony swung his head back towards Constance.
"Wow."...Ziva exclaimed..."That is..."
"Heh."...Tony grinned..."I was over 9 lbs, Zee-vah."
Ziva's eyes opened wide, she grinned as she started to mumble in Hebrew through her teeth.
"Can I take your order?"...A young brown haired waitress asked.
"What do you like on your pizza, Constance?"
"Pepperoni, Sausage and extra cheese."
Tony and Ziva both looked at Constance, then at each other..."Give us a large one of those."
"Do you have chicken soup?"...Ziva asked.
"I'm sorry, we don't."
"I'll go get you some."...Tony said, sliding out of the booth.
"No, that's okay, Tony."...Ziva reached out her hand, but Tony was already up and started towards the door.
"What will you have to drink?"
"Ice tea for me."...Ziva said..."And get him a coke."
"Do you have Mountain Dew?"...Constance asked.
"Yes, we do."...The waitress replied.
"Good, I'll have that, thanks."
The waitress smiles..."I'll be right back with your drinks."
"May I see those."...Ziva asked, pointing towards the stack of photos.
Constance nods, she reaches over and grabs the stack of photos and hands them to Ziva.
The waitress sets down the beverages in front of them..."Pizza will be out in 10 minutes."
"Thank you."...Ziva said as she shuffled through the photos, she reaches out, lifting and taking a drink of her ice tea.
"So..."...Constance leans forward, slightly turning her head towards Ziva..."How long have you been sleeping together?"
Ziva spits the ice tea back into the glass and starts to cough heavily.
