"Back in, Tony" Bella instructed her husband, who answered with an eye roll.
Once parked Bella, and Tony grabbed a couple of bags, along with a few long cases out and one suit case out of the trunk. The group of 9 walked into the house. Bella rolled the suit case into the dinning room and placed it on the table. She opened it up, showing the 4 NCIS agents and the director all her gadgets.
"Michael, you know what's in here. There are a couple new motion detectors in there" Bella informed the man, while the five NCIS agents were confused. Bella shrugged "Anything new the LA team gets, they try and if they like it, they send me a new one for my birthday." Everyone seemed appeased with the answer. "Stephens take McGee with you. I want every window, every door set up with a camera, got it?" Both nodded.
Bella took her go-bag into the living room and sat down. She pulled out a new set of black ballet slippers. She bent, twisted, folded and moved them in several directions until they were worn in a little bit. "David" Bella called to the former Israeli agent "take off your socks and shoes, then put these on."
"Why?" she asked looking at the slippers.
"You will see" Bella said hoping it would pacify her.
Bella, who was now wearing a skirt with slips on each side and a tank top, laced on her, already broken-in slippers. She then strapped a knife on each thigh, she also slid a knife in each bra cup, making everyone confused. "New product from Hetty and Kensi" Bella shurgged.
Bella then walked to the front door, facing outside and started walking backwards, on her toes. She counted the steps to the wall straight behind her. Then she went back to the door and counted the steps to the first chair, that had its back to the window. Once at the end of the chair, she counted the steps to the coffee table, then from the end of the coffee table to the couch.
She stopped counting for a second and looked over the room. Two chairs that are about 4 feet apart. The closest chair is 3 steps to the coffee table and the coffee table is about 5 steps away from the couch. "Dad, Uncle Gibbs move the couch closer" Bella barked out an order. "Leon, make sure anything you don't want broke is put away in a safe place. Derek move that chair" she said pointing to the chair that was closest to the door "about 8 inches. DiNozzo, move that chair. I want it turned 90 degrees to the left and to the left of the table, about 6 inches behind the table."
"Remind me why she doesn't have her own special ops team" the NCIS team leader asked his friend.
"Because she likes working for me" Tobias said.
"Doesn't look like shes working for you" DiNozzo said. "She's the one barking out orders" he grunted.
"Always does" Derek said.
Bella quickly checked the steps in the other room and made sure she knew how many steps it would take to get anywhere, forward and backward. "What is your wife doing Tony?" McGee asked walking into the room.
"Not a clue, McGeek" Tony answered.
"She does this anytime we know that we can get the fight to us, or when we are at a crime scene where you could see a fight break out" Michael said walking behind the NCIS tech geek. "It was some training Ms. Lang gave her in LA."
"David" Bella said address her husbands newest team member. Bella was standing in the entryway of the dinning room. "Start at the front door and attack me."
"What?" 4 voice said at the same time.
"I said attack me. I need to know if this layout works" she said.
"Okay" Ziva shrugged just as confused as the rest of her teammates.
Michael, Tobias, Gibbs, Tony and Derek all moved to a corner of the room. "McCrazy, Director get over here" Tony whispered.
"Why?" McGee asked.
"You'll see" Derek said pulling McGee over towards the group. "Now just watch."
Ziva and Bella punched, dodged and kicked around the room. They had jumped on and off furniture. Once Ziva had forced Bella to flip over the back of the couch, as she approached her mock enemy. They ended up moving into the dinning room where both of them fought on the table. Bella was moving backwards, while Ziva attacked. When she felt the end of the table, Bella flipped over the chair, landing right behind it, facing her sparing partner. She quickly grabbed the chair, pretending to break it over her head. Ziva, still attacked, knowing that Ilan wouldn't give up easily. They pushed their way into the kitchen. Bella kicked Ziva in the stomach making her fall to the floor. She pulled out a knife that was setting on her thigh, bent down and placed it at Ziva's neck.
After Ziva placed her hands up in surrender, Bella held out a hand to help her up. "I think it works. What do you think?"
"I must agree. He might come with friends" Ziva said while arching an eyebrow to Bella and moving her eyes to the group of men standing there watching them.
Bella smiled evilly "I think you might be right" she agreed. "Maybe we need to go two on two. What do you think David?"
"Yes I agree. How about we team up against two of them?" Ziva said cocking her head towards the men.
"I like the way you think. Davis, McGee you're up" Bella said.
"No, no, no" McGee said holding his hands up while shaking his head and trying to back away from the women.
He found there was no help, when Michael pushed him forward. "What McGee are you, as Tony would say, McChicken?" Bella asked.
"No I just don't want to hit a woman" McGee said trying to justify himself.
Little did he know that would get him in more trouble. "Sometimes you have no choice but to hit a woman" Bella said. "Do you think Ilan will care that Ziva and I are female?" McGee squeaked a no. "No he won't. The only thing he will care about is getting to Ziva and your director. If I am in the way he will kick my ass. A woman won't care that you are a man. If you are in the way she will do anything she can to get you out of the way. You need to get over your aversion of fighting women. The best way is to practice, otherwise you might freeze in the heat of the moment."
Tony was standing back in a corner biting his left index finger, trying not to laugh. "I take it you have gotten into the ring with your wife?" Gibbs asked. Tony merely nodded. "I knew they would do her good out in L.A."
"More than you know boss" Tony said cryptically. "I have no desire to end up fighting her again. Remember a month ago when I could barely walk?" Gibbs nodded. "That weekend I worked out with Bella on Saturday and on Sunday she made me get in the ring with her. She kicked my ass so hard I think I knew how Rocky felt when Mr. T kicked his in the beginning of Rocky III."
"Tony, Michael your up next" Bella said before looking at the pair in front of her and Ziva and said the two words McGee didn't want to hear "Begin."
