No matter how far apart we are, the space between our hearts doesn't know the distance of a map.
Tony was bored.
It wasn't because McGee was holed up in Abby's lab as the beauty and the geek tried to hack into somewhere for Gibbs. It wasn't because Gibbs himself had disappeared into the Director's office an hour ago and had yet to emerge. It wasn't because he was procrastinating on his workload.
It had a lot of do with Ziva being in Israel. She had booked the time off and 'forgotten' to tell him. He had only found out as she got ready to leave the night before her flight, smiled and told him she would see him in a week.
Sneaky ninja Mossad chick…
He wondered what Ziva would be doing. She had mentioned something about seeing her relatives. Tony had visions of elderly aunts dueling with Ziva to check she was still in fighting form. Or would she be on her best behavior, smiling sweetly and listening to everyone's aches and pains?
He missed her, although he would not admit it to a soul. Things were different when she wasn't there. It wasn't normal without being threatened with pain and death via office stationary every day.
If the McGeek had been present, Tony knew he would be demanding he work out the time difference so he would know when to call. Ziva was not expecting any phone calls but he wanted to find out how she was.
A headslap brought him back to the present. "Returning to work, boss!" he answered.
