"How is this possible?!" Abby asks, walking to Tony.
"Well Abs. When a man and woma-"
*SMACK*
"Gah!" Tony rubs the back of his head. "Something has to be wrong. There's no way this is right." Tony turns around to Abby.
"Tony. DNA doesn't lie!"
"Did you double check?" Tony asks.
"Double checked, triple checked, even quadruple checked! Tony, we need to figure this out without spreading word."
"How? Only way to figure this out, is to confront him! And that will spread word." Tony then pauses for a second. "I got it." He then jogs towards the door.
"Tony, I want to know!"
"Later." Tony says as he exits. He get's upstairs, and Clarissa still isn't back."Boss, I need Agent Marsicano's cell phone number!"
"Go ask Vance." Gibbs replies with a stern voice.
Tony runs up the stairs, and bolts through the main doors. "Is Vance available to speak?"
"Yes. Go right in."
When Tony walks in, he shuts the door immediately.
"Is there a problem Agent DiNozzo?" Vance asks walking to Tony.
"Yeah. There is." Tony crosses his arm. "And yeah, it's with Agent Marsicano."
Vance leans back and asks, "Did you find out something?"
"Yeah, but I can't say anything yet. I need to clarify things with her first."
"OK. Now why did you need to come and talk to me?"
"I need her cell phone number. Gibbs doesn't have it."
"Sure."
DiNozzo rushes back down to Abby's lab. "OK. I've got Agent Marsicano's phone number."
"Tony, what exactly is it that you're going to do?"
"You'll see." Tony dials the number hoping she'll answer. "Agent Marsicano." "Clarissa, it's Tony." "Tony, how did you get my number? I didn't think it would have been given to you guys yet?" "Vance gave it to me. I need you to come to Abby's lab as soon as you can." "What about?" "Well, the case obviously. We've let everybody else know, and you need to know as well." "Can't you just tell me?" "No." Tony swallows hard. "It's...it's better for you to come to the lab. It will make sense that way." "OK? Well, I'm almost finished here, and I'll head right over." "Alright." "Bye." "Bye."
"OK." Tony puts his phone away. "You're going to the same as you did with me. Put the screensaver up, so when she gets here, she wont know yet. And set up some stuff regarding the case, therefore she wont be a bit suspicious."
"OK. Do you need me for anything more?" Abby asks.
"Yeah. When she come in, I'll give you a cue, and I want to lock the door so she can't up and leave."
"Alright. Anything else?"
"No. But if I freeze up, and can't say anything, I want you to step in for me."
"OK." Abby nods.
[Ten minutes pass]
Tony is passing back and forth waiting for Clarissa's arrival. "She needs to get here soon before Gibbs yells at me for being down here again."
"I have one question. What are you going to say to her?"
"Well." Tony stops in his tracks. "I was kind of hoping it would come to mind."
"Hoping what would come to mind?" Clarissa asks entering the lab.
Tony looks at Clarissa, then back at Abby. "Abby." and nods.
Abby presses the button on her remote, and all doors shut, and lock.
"Is that necessary?" Clarissa asks.
"We just want to make sure you don't leave during this important discussion." Tony answers.
"Huh?"
"Please. Go to the big screen." Tony walks Clarissa to the TV. "As you know, we still have a killer to find. But before we do that, we need to figure out another mystery."
"And what kind of mystery are we talking about?" Clarissa asks.
Tony looks over at Abby. "Could you please show Agent Marsicano our second mystery?"
"Glad to." Abby replies. She hits the space bar, and the same screen Tony had seen before, popped up.
"Care so share your story? Rule 39: No such thing as a coincidence."
"I uh...don't know what you are talking about." Clarissa replies.
"There is no way by coincidence that you landed on our team. You've had to request to come here. You did your research before coming here. That's how you know everything about Ziva and her past."
"You know nothing."
Tony points to the screen. "Obviously I know something! You came here for a purpose! Why put yourself through all this trouble. To get requested to transfer here, and be part of our team. Why didn't you just show up on a visit?"
"You don't understand." Clarissa looks away.
"Why else would end up on the same team as your father?"
"Look!" Clarissa turns back to Tony. "I didn't know if it was a good idea or not to just confront him about it. I thought that maybe it was best to come, and observe."
"Well if you didn't know if you were going to stay or not, why do all this research. In fact, how much do you know? How do you know about Ziva and her brother. On the case file, it's listed that a U.S. Federal Agent shot him. How do you know it was Ziva?"
"I have high hands in Italy. I know people. Just like Ziva does!"
"Answer me. How much do you know?"
"I know that Ziva's father was head of Mossad before he was killed. That she had a sister named Talia but she was killed in a Hamas bombing. And that her mother was killed as well. I know that Ziva killed her own half-brother; first because it was her mission, but second, to protect Gibbs. And that she was part of Mossad ever since just before her teen years started, but after she was tricked, and taken hostage into Somalia, she resigned from Mossad. I also know that it was all your idea to go and save her, even if it meant risking your own life. Also that she was almost engaged, but technically, she never said yes. I know that Gibbs' wife and daughter died years back, and Gibbs killed the guy who cause the girl's death. I know that he's also been married three times after that. That he was a sniper in the United States Marine Corps. I know that McGee has an alias he uses for writing his books. He has one younger sister, and his father is Admiral. I know all about you. About your mother's death, about how your father has never done any good for you. That you're just like him, and go girl to girl. But from the little time that I've been here, I can tell you're trying to find that one." Clarissa walks over to Abby. "And I know that you sleep in a coffin every night, go bowling with the nuns, and date some freaky guys. Need I say more?!"
Tony is staring at the wall, and without moving says, "No." in a stern voice.
"So." Clarissa calms down a bit. "Did you already tell him?" She asks Tony.
"No." He turns around. "Abby and I are the only ones that know."
"Can we keep it that way for now?" Clarissa asks.
Tony thinks for a bit. "No. I think everybody has a right to know. Ziva is pretty pissed that you brought that up. Plus, I'm sure Abby is dying to tell." Tony smiles at Abby.
"Yeah. I can't keep a secret like this." Abby shakes her head.
"Fine. But please. Let me tell him."
Tony looks at Clarissa. "Fine."
Can you guess who the father is yet? As far as you know, it's not Tony. :p And don't forget the reviews!
