First of all thank you all so much for your review and your story alerts. I was over the moon with the response. This story has been on my mind for a long time. Let's face it Ziva is not going to tell us anything about Africa the only way we are going to hear something is when she gets drunk or when it cannot possibly be avoided. Sorry for the language barrier but that's something you have got to live with since I am not English. Anyway enjoy…..

Drunk people tell the truth

Chapter 2

Gibbs had put Ziva into Tony's car and ordered him to take her home.

Tony remained silent while Gibbs was busy putting Ziva into the car. She was almost asleep but kept mumbling something every now and then.

Gibbs turned to face Tony.

"can you handle it"

"Sure, I'll be fine, she is not that heavy."

"I don't mean that DiNozzo and you know it"

"what…………..what do you want me to say. I don't know Boss, I don't know, OK."

Tony put his hand through his hair.

" I just don't know. I kinda hell…we all knew but to actually hear her say those things."

Gibbs nodded, he understood. He just wished he could have made Saleem suffer some more instead of putting him out of his misery with one kill shot.

"just take her home and don't press the issue, if she talks let her, if she doesn't then that's ok too"

Tony got in the car and started driving when he all of a sudden felt a small gentle hand on his face.

"couldn't live without me, did you now Tony" She said.

Tony turned bright red. Out of all the things she could have said, done or whatever she had to pick that. Her hand dropped.

"I imagined you there. I had entire conversations with you about movies." She giggled.

Tony smiled, a drunk Ziva was nice. She wasn't a bad drunk but a good one, a gentle one.

"I stopped talking to you after a while, didn't seem to matter anymore, nothing did. I just wanted it to be over"

Tony looked at Ziva, she staring out of the window with eyes that were empty, like they had been when they rescued her last year.

Tony pulled over into the parking lot near Ziva's apartment. He walked over and opened the car door, she wasn't moving. He gently lifted her out of the car and didn't bother locking it. She was more important right now. He fumbled with her keys that he had gotten out of her purse earlier in the restaurant.

He put her down on the sofa ran back to his car and locked it, when he got back he noticed Ziva wasn't on the sofa anymore. He all of sudden heard the all too familiar sounds coming from the bathroom. He went over and pulled her hair out of her face.

After a while she was done and sank next to the toilet. Tony gave some water to rinse her mouth with.

"that sucked"

"Come on, I'll take you to bed"

He started to lift her up again so he could take her to her bed.

"Wauw, are we going to make love, oh I forgot Anthony DiNozzo doesn't make love to a woman, he only has sex, better yet One night Stands and then leaves in the morning before she wakes up but that's not going to happen, cause" Ziva seemed to have lost her train of thoughts but after a while she finished her sentence "cause according to Director Vance I am damaged goods"

She looked at him "Do you think you can fix me"

She grabbed his tie and pulled him down and kissed him like he had never been kissed before. He didn't move a muscle. She was so going to get it in the morning. Her remarks about the sex had hurt him but he forgave her, she was drunk after all and actually telling the truth to be honest. He did have commitment issues. The longest time he has been with a woman was Jeanne and that was a undercover operation. Ziva was the only other woman, besides his mother who knew him better then he knew himself.

She hiccupped. "Oh, I don't want to rain on your street but you suck at kissing Anthony DiNozzo the second or was it the third"

He smiled "rain on your parade, ziva rain on your parade". He kissed her forehead.

"Exactly that's what I said" Her head sank on his shoulder, her eyes closed.

Tony entered her bedroom and put her in bed. He took her shoes of but decided against undressing her. He did want to live to see another day.

He went to the window in order to close the curtains but found out that they were missing.

"You don't have any curtains"

Tony was dumbstruck, no curtains. Why would she sleep without curtains. No wonder she came to work early, she would wake up the moment the sun would hit this window.

Ziva lifted her head.

"I threw them away" She said it like that one sentence explained everything. Tony made a mental note to ask her about it cause right now she was out like a light.
