Tony was where he had been for the last three weeks. He was beginning to give up hope. He hadn't talked to Ziva in the same amount of time. They had both been working this case with everything they had. He just wanted to hear her voice.

"Hello Tony."

His head snapped up from his desk and looked up to see her standing in front of his desk. He blinked a couple times as if he may be dreaming. Then he noticed Gibbs and Mcgee standing a little further back. "Zi?" She nodded as if confirming she was really standing here. He jumped and ran around his desk and pulled her into a tight hug which she returned. Both smiled wider than they had in five months.

Jardine, Mannon, and Vardigo walked into the office at that time and smiled. They had all seen the way Tony and Ziva had been around each other when Tony had first arrived. They could see how much they cared for each other.

"Ziva!" Mannon shouted. He had been fond of Ziva. Thought she was pretty cool.

Tony and Ziva reluctantly pulled apart from each other. But Tony kept his arm draped around her shoulder. It was as if he lost physical contact with her she would disappear. "Hello Blake, Michael, Nikki." Vardigo nodded to her and went to his desk. Nikki gave a slight wave and also proceeded to her desk.

"So what are you doing here?" Blake asked. That's when Gibbs stepped forward and spoke.

"We're here to help you find petty officer Jamal Davis."

Tony glared at him and turned back to look at Blake. "Ya so get on it Mannon."

"Yes, Boss." Blake slipped past Mcgee and Gibbs to his desk. Mcgee snickered slightly earning him a death glare from Tony.

Tony slipped his hand down Ziva's back and reluctantly moved away from her to go sit back in his desk. Ziva also moved to stand behind him and leaned against the filing cabinets. "So how are you guys gonna help? Not that I'm not happy to see you Zi. Just curious." Tony said facing her still obviously ignoring Gibbs and Mcgee.

"We thought we could be more useful helping you search for him here instead of in DC. We think Davis could be here in Rota as well. It makes sense since Wilson was found here." She explained.

Tony smiled his famous Dinozzo smile at her. She smiled back. "Well I am glad you are here." He said emphasizing you.

"I am glad as well." She said.

"If you two are done playing grab ass we have a petty officer to find. What do you guys have?" Gibbs barked taking over.

"Well…" Mannon started but was interrupted.

"I don't think so. This is my team Gibbs. You do not get to show up unannounced and take over my investigation." Tony said sternly. Ziva liked that he was standing up for himself. He would never have spoke to Gibbs this way back in DC. "I didn't step on your toes when I found out Davis went missing on Annapolis. You do not get to come over here and step on mine."

"I'm not trying to step on your toes Dinozzo. I am trying to get you back on track. We still have a missing petty officer. We also have a dead petty officer and don't know why." Gibbs spat back.

Both teams looked at each other and back at the team leaders that seemed to be in a pissing match. Team Gibbs knew how things would've turned out a few months ago but now they were equally curious to find out who would win this one.

"In case you haven't noticed, Gibbs we have been working on this around the clock for three weeks. None of us have slept. So forgive me for taking a minute to say hello." Tony spat at him.

Gibbs suddenly noticed how tired the other three agents looked. Dinozzo looked like a wreck as well. "Maybe you guys should go home and get some sleep Dinozzo."

Tony stood and slammed his fists on his desk. "Do not tell me how to run my team Agent Gibbs." Tony shouted causing the whole bull pen to look over at them.

"I'm not telling you how to run your team Dinozzo. I was merely making a suggestion. You all look like hell. Our team has slept. Let us help Dinozzo. Go home get some sleep maybe you will come back with a new perspective on the situation." Gibbs said calmly changing tactics. Tony needed to sleep he knew what he could be like when he didn't. They probably knew the answer to this case all along but they were all too exhausted to see it.

Tony continued to glare. "Fine." He gave in. Knowing Gibbs was right in this case. They were all exhausted. Nobody had slept more than an hour or so in the last couple weeks. "Go home get some sleep. Come back with an answer." He said to his team.

The team looked a little relieved and they all left. Tony stayed and sat back down at his computer and continued to look up anything he could find on their missing petty officer.

Ziva placed her hand gently on his shoulder and rubbed a little. He leaned his head against her arm. "Tony, you should go home as well. You look exhausted." She said gently. Knowing he was going to argue with her but not wanting it to be a shouting match. She noticed the way he closed his eyes and left his head against her arm.

"I can't. I need to find this petty officer." He sat up and went back to his computer. Mcgee had taken camp at the empty desk he had found and began working on the computer there. Gibbs was mulling over the files on Jardine's desk. He figured he would let Ziva get Tony out of there.

"Please Tony. Go home and sleep. I was being kind before. You look like crap Dinozzo." She smiled at him hoping teasing would get him to comply.

He smiled back at her and she knew she had won. He stood up slowly and pulled her into another hug. He whispered in her ear "Don't leave before I get back." He kissed her cheek and headed to the elevator. Gibbs watched the exchange and noticed the way Ziva stared longingly after him.

"David. Go with him. Make sure he makes it home." Gibbs said. He might regret this later but he hadn't seen her as happy as she did when she first said hello to Tony.

Ziva looked at him but didn't question it. She walked quickly to the elevator slipping in just as the elevators closed.

Tony smiled at her. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Gibbs said to make sure you make it home alright." She smiled at him. For the first time he noticed she looked as if she hadn't slept in awhile either. Not nearly as bad as him but not as good as Mcgee and Gibbs. Tony slipped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him. She laid her head against his shoulder and slipped her arm around his waist. They walked to his car that way and he opened the passenger door for her. They drove to his apartment in silence.

Once they got their Tony dropped his keys in the bowl next to the door. Ziva noticed how clean the apartment was. It was almost as if he hadn't been living here the last five months. Tony pulled his jacket off and hung it up in the closet. The old Tony would have just thrown it on the floor and his apartment would have been trashed with scattered beer bottles all over the place. Ziva kind of liked that Tony was much cleaner now.

"Can I take your jacket?" He asked.

"Sure." He helped her slide it off her shoulders and hung it in the closet next to his.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

She shook her head. "We ate on the plane."

He made a face. "YUM." He said sarcastically.

She laughed. He grabbed two beers and headed to the balcony. He opened the door and went and sat in the chair. She followed him out and took one of the beers from him. She leaned up against the railing and stared out at the ocean.

"It is so beautiful out here." She said quietly.

"It is now." He added. She smiled still looking out at the ocean. Tony stood up out of the chair and walked the short distance to stand behind her. He placed his hands on either side of her and placed his chin on her shoulder. They stood there for a few minutes looking out at the ocean. A wind blew through and Tony felt her shiver. He rubbed his hand without the beer up and down her arm creating friction. He laced his hand through hers and pulled her back into the apartment.

"You need to lie down and go to sleep." She said remembering the reason they were here.

"I know. I just haven't been able to sleep. I don't think I can until we figure this case out." He plopped down on the couch. She sat down next to him slipping her shoes off and pulling her legs up underneath her. She ran her hand through his hair. He laid his head against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes. He loved the feeling of her hand in his hair. She kept running her hand through his hair until he fell she heard is soft snores. She cupped his face affectionately before standing up. She moved his body so that he was lying on the couch. Laying him down was much easier then getting his feet on the couch. She removed his shoes and found a throw blanket to place over him. Once he was more comfortable she put her shoes back on and wrote him a note. She placed it on the coffee table before she slipped out the door.

She called a taxi and made her way back to the office. "Did he finally go to sleep?" Gibbs asked giving her a look when she came in.

"Yes." She responded bitterly. Gibbs took note of this. She still blamed him for Tony leaving. She had been kind of cold towards him along with Abby for last five months.

They worked in silence for the next couple of hours. Looking over all the research Tony's team had managed to come up with. Along with their research they were trying to come up with a lead.

Back at Tony's apartment

It had been about six hours since Ziva had taken Tony home. He woke up on the couch and saw the note on the coffee table.

Tony,

I went back to the office. See you soon.

Ziva

He smiled. This was proof that she was really here. He went to the kitchen and started his coffee maker. Then went to take a quick shower. He put on some clean clothes and put his coffee in a thermos and headed back in.

He definitely felt much better than he had. Ziva was here and he had gotten some sleep. He started thinking about the case. Where could Jamal Davis be? They had checked all the hospitals. No sign of him there. They even went back to the beach. Nothing. Then he remembered there was a gaming convention in Puerto de Santa Maria.

Tony came in to the bull pen and went straight to his desk where Ziva was sitting.

"Hello." She said. Then she noticed he seemed really focused on something.

He sat his bag down and slid her and the chair away from the computer. "Hey!" she shouted. He minimized the screen she had been looking at and pulled up another looking up the information for the gaming convention. Ziva got up out of the chair and stood next to him leaning over to look at the screen. "You think he could be here?" She asked. Gibbs who had been watching silently stood up and walked over to Tony's desk.

"I remembered what some of the witnesses on the USS Annapolis had said. About them being into video games. The ship docked a week before the body had been found. This convention has been going on since then. What if they got into a fight before they hopped a flight to come to the convention? They continued to fight all the way here and then eventually Davis killed Wilson. But not before he got a shot off. Davis gets medical attention before we realize he is missing as well and heads back to the convention." He said obviously in investigator mode now.

"What convention is it?" Mcgee asked.

"The biggest of all Gamers conventions." Mannon said coming into the bull pen. Logging into his computer as well. "I think you might be right boss. I'll start looking for the hotels gamers stay at. I know for a fact one of the games he liked to play was Medal of Honor. Go figure he liked an army game but he was in the navy." Mannon said typing away.

They called every hotel the convention had set up for the gamers finding him at one close to the convention sight. Once Vardigo and Jardine arrived all seven agents headed out to Puerto de Santa Maria. Ziva rode shotgun with Tony while Jardine and Mannon were in the back. Vardigo drove Gibbs and Mcgee. They arrived at the hotel and Jamal wasn't in his room. So they headed down to the convention. They split off into teams. Ziva and Tony, Mannon and Mcgee, and Vardigo, Jardine and Gibbs. When Gibbs was far enough away from Tony he started asking Jardine and Vardigo questions about Tony.

"So, How is he doing? As a boss?" Gibbs asked. He knew Nikki from before and knew she would be honest.

Nikki had known what had happened with Gibbs and Tony. She had heard from the director. She thought Gibbs didn't give Tony enough credit. "He is doing an excellent job, sir." She added at the end knowing he didn't like being called sir.

Vardigo chimed in. "Ya he is really good at his job. We were all befuddled with this case. But I had a feeling he would figure it out eventually. So I don't think there was much need for you guys to come out other than to let him get some sleep." Gibbs could tell this team had a lot of respect for Tony. Gibbs had respect for Tony as well. But this team showed it better than he and Mcgee had. Even Ziva. But it seems after seeing the way they had interacted earlier. She had apologized. He had forgiven her. Maybe apologizing wasn't always a sign of weakness. But Gibbs knew it wasn't just because she had apologized. There was something deeper between the two of them.

Just then he heard "Freeze Jamal Davis" coming from Tony and Ziva's direction. He and the other two took off running meeting up with Mcgee and Mannon. By the time the other five reached them they saw another gun on the ground next to Davis and Ziva had him on the ground with his arm twisted behind his back. Tony had his gun pointed at Davis. They handcuffed him and took him back to headquarters.

Jamal admitted to stabbing Wilson and throwing him into the ocean off their boat they had rented. Said that Wilson had pissed him off about their game. They arrested him and put him in a holding cell until the next morning in which he would be sent on a flight back to DC were he would be prosecuted by the navy.

Team Gibbs had gone back to their hotel to sleep. Ziva had her own room so she waited until Gibbs and Mcgee had gone to bed before she snuck out and down to the lobby where Tony had been waiting for her. He smiled when he saw her come in. He threw his arm around her and headed to his car. They went back to his apartment to spend the rest of the night together.
