WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM, GIBBS

After a few days rest, Ziva had returned to work. She had spent her days off trying to get in touch with Tony so they could talk about the past several days but he wasn't picking up his phone and she just didn't think she had it in her to go over to his house yet. She still didn't fully understand what happened that night she was there but she knew that something definetely did. If he would just talk to her, they could get this all straightened out but nothing seemed to be that simple anymore. She was sitting at her desk, just looking over at Tony's desk when Gibbs walked through the doors.

"Goodmorning, David." Walking by her desk and noticing that Ziva was distracted. "Goodmorning, Gibbs." Still in a complete daze. "So, how are you feeling?" Trying to get Ziva to say what was on her mind. "I am good, Gibbs." Not really convinced of that herself. McGee now walked out of the elevators and he was instantly concerned about Ziva and the fact that Tony wasn't at his desk. Grantid, it was still too early for him to be there but he knew that wasn't the really why he wasn't. "Goodmorning, Ziva." Barely getting her attention. "McGee." is all the words that came out of her mouth.

Gibbs was about the bring up the paper work they all had in store for them for the day when Ziva couldn't hold back her concern for her partner anymore. "Where is he, Gibbs?" Not really suprised by hearing this, all he could do was shrug a little bit. "Don't know, David. He's been out of the office as long as you have now." McGee just looked at the both of them. "What? What do you mean, he hasn't been back to work since I have, Gibbs?" Truly concerned now because that was weird, even for Tony. "Just what I said, Ziva. He's called in sick, the past 3 days now." Ziva now stood up, not really knowing how to react. "And neither one of you thought it would be a good idea to go and check on him?" Gibbs was still holding back some of the things he knew about Tony's behavior and Ziva could sense that.

"With all do respect, Ziva, you are the one we've been concerned about, Ziva." McGee couldn't help but put his two cents in now. "I am fine now, Tim. I have been fine for a while now but we all can't say that about Tony." She didn't know why but her concern for Tony was high and it has been since the night she saw him at the hospital. "I've tried calling him for the past 3 days and it is just not like him to not pick up his phone and as much as he is no stranger to getting out of work, he still has a pretty good track record for being here." She started walking past her desk, and just stood at Tony's desk now.

"What's going on with him, Gibbs?" Gibbs just stood behind Ziva now, trying to get her to understand that Tony would come back when he was ready but that wasn't good enough for Ziva. Something was keeping Tony from coming back to work and she needed to know what it was. "Ziva, Tony can take care of himself." Putting his strong hand on her shoulder but she quickly pushed it off. "No Gibbs, there is something going on with Tony and I know there's things that you are not telling me. You know what? I'm going to go visit Abby. Atleast she's honest with me." Walking about from the two men now.
