A/N: Sorry I didn't update sooner, but I hit writer's block :( I watched half of season 10 and some LA, and then I had ideas! Yay! Now, enjoy!
Dislcaimer: If I owned NCIS, the Berlin car crash would have happened after Ziva finished her sentence.
Washington, D.C.
"Leon, we have a problem. What do you suggest we do about it?" Orli Elbaz never was one for explanations, Vance thought wryly. He was about to ask what she was talking about when an email popped up in his inbox. It detailed the attack and everything that had happened since then.
"Shit." The NCIS director was not happy. "Orli, you told me that all I would have to do is get DiNozzo on Ziva's trail and Mossad would handle the rest! Now you tell me you need my help because your agent failed?"
"Leon, just give me some ideas. That will be enough. You know these Americans far better that I."
"Fine. But no more mistakes."
"Agreed."
"Okay, the first thing you need to do is separate Gibbs from his team. Then get Ziva alone and grab her fast. You'll need to be careful as hell to make sure Abby and McGee don't realize anything. Then just slip something into Dinozzo's IV or something. Make it look like he died of his injuries. This can't come back to me."
"Thank you Leon. Perhaps we should talk again later."
"Get Dinozzo, Orli. Then we'll see."

"Damn, Tony, you look awful." McGee remarked.
"Thanks, McHelpful." Not even a life-threatening injury could make Tony DiNozzo stop teasing McGee.
"TONY!"
"I do believe Abby has arrived." Tony winced as Abby wrapped him in a signature Abby hug. "Oh, Tony, I'm sorry!" Abby exclaimed when she noticed.
"I'm fine, Abbs."
"Yes, aside from the two bullet wounds in your stomach, I am sure you are wonderful." Ziva spoke for the first time. They had been in his room for an hour when the nurses wheeled him in. Gibbs had head slapped him and gone to play door guard. He had a gut feeling that Mossad was not done with them yet. Ducky was talking to Tony's doctor and the other three were in his room with him.
Abby looked back and forth from Tony to Ziva. They were communicating silently and suddenly Abby got an idea.
"I'm just glad you're not-" Abby faked a yawn.
"Come on, Abbs, let's go back to the hotel." Tim caught on quickly. The pair left the partners staring at each other intently.
"Ziva, I-" Tony started, but Ziva cut him off.
"Tony, why are you here?"
"To keep you alive."
"I cannot believe this! Every time you try to rescue me or save me, you are always the one that gets hurt! Tony, it is not fair for me to put you in so many dangerous situations. Every time something happens to me, you are hurt as well! It would be best for you to stay away from me." Ziva stormed out, but not before Tony saw the tears in her eyes.
"Wait, Ziva! Wait!" She whipped around. "What?"
"There's another reason I came after you. Ziva, I-"
Before he could finish, a shot was fired and Gibbs burst into the room.
"They found us."
More cliffy! I am evil. Thanks for your support!
