Here is chapter 7. Thanks you all for reading and reviewing. I hope you like this chapter.

For a moment everything was silent. There was only Ziva, kneeling in the floor besides a bleeding detective Todd, then they commotion began.

A gray haired man came into her room yelling 'Kate'. Ziva remembered seeing him in the police station the day before. She stood up as soon as he sat and gather her in his arms.

"Kate, hey Katie, come on open your eyes for me." He received no response from her and looked up at Ziva "Where are the paramedics?"

She was about to answer when they came running through the door. They made the man move away from her as they started working. He just stood there, paralyzed looking down at his bloody hands. Two more man came running; she recognized them as part of Tony's team. As soon as they entered the room they directed their attention at the gray haired man.

"Captain what happened?" asked the man she recognized as McGee

The Captain didn't answer, just stared at the sight on the floor and that's when the two detectives turned their eyes to where the paramedics where and saw her. A gasped escaped Langer's mouth.

"Oh God" said McGee. He quickly took out his cell phone and started talking. Ziva wasn't really paying attention until she heard Tony's name. "Tony, I don't know how bad." He must have told him he was on his way because McGee's next words were "Hurry" he then hanged up the phone and turned to Ziva. "Ms. David are you hurt? Do you need medical attention?" he said looking at her blood stained clothes and hands.

"No, I am fine. It's not my blood." she accentuated the fact by waving her hands in the air.

"What happened?"

"I…, she came and..," she didn't know what to say but she was saved from saying anything else when one of the paramedics stood up and said to the gray haired man 'I am sorry' and shook his head.

Ziva knew what that meant, she was dead. The other paramedic moved away from her and the gray haired man kneeled besides her. The two other agents faces lost all color.

Ziva couldn't help but look at her, she felt her stomach turn, she was going to be sick. The woman that a few minutes before had been so full of life and had smiled at her was now ghostly white, on her bedroom floor in a pool of her blood, lifeless. How had this gotten so complicated? She felt ashamed of herself. In that instant Tony appeared, out of breath, and with a worried face. His face connected with hers immediately, but moved fast to where detective Todd laid on the floor.

She saw his face turn from worry to anguish, and her heart broke at seeing how much pain he was in. he too knelt in front of the detective, touched her face and kissed her hand.

The gray haired man looked up and said "DiNozzo I want you to find out who is responsible for this and bring him before me. Do you understand? I want them in front of me."

The anger radiating from the older man was unquestionable, and she saw Tony nod before he got up from the floor and turned towards McGee.

"Was there anyone here?"

"Just them too when we came in."

"The scene is yours. From now on she's with me at all times." He signaled towards Ziva. "I want to know the minute you know something. Get everyone you need. Understand?"

The younger agent nodded. "Tony, I am sorry"

"Is not the time to be sorry. Just find me something?"

"Yes boss"

Tony turned towards the Captain and Kate again. He couldn't look him in the eye. He had failed him and her, and now she was dead. He knew the Cap. was going to stay with her until they took her away, and he needed to get away from here. His eyes once again found Ziva's, asking her without words if she was okay, she nodded. When McGee called him and told him he needed to get back to Ziva's apartment he thought something else had happened to her, but McGee said no, that she was okay. His relieve was short lived as a second later he was informed it was Kate. He wasn't far from the apartment, but the drive seemed to take an eternity. He felt a pain in his heart that was making it hard to breathe and he didn't know how to stop it. So he turned into cop mode and got to work, because that was the only thing that kept him from collapsing.

He walked towards Ziva and saw her take a step back, was he afraid of him? Did he look that bad? "You can't stay here. It's a crime scene. Come on" his words seemed to relax her and she took the hand he extended.

They walked out of her bedroom and Ziva was surprised to see her previously empty apartment full of police. She felt Tony squeezed her hand as they made their way through the apartment and into the elevator. Once inside he raised his head and closed his eyes but didn't say a word. When they got to the parking lot, he opened the passenger door of his car and let her in; he went around got inside and turned the car on. For a moment she saw his hand trembling against the steering wheel and thought about offering to drive but he didn't give her a chance as he sped away.

Fifteen minutes later he stopped at a small building. She didn't ask but somehow she knew this was where he lived. She followed him as they went up the stairs to the third floor. He opened the door to apartment 322, once inside he dropped his keys and just stood in the middle of the living room. She didn't know what to do so she just stood there as well.

She saw him move towards a cabinet and pick up a photo frame, from where she was standing she couldn't make out the people in the photo but by the way she was tracing his finger over the glass she assumed one of the persons in that picture was detective Todd. He pulled the frame to his chest for a second and then threw it against the wall, but he didn't stop there he started throwing anything that he could get his hands on, every time with more force. Ziva was startled at his actions but couldn't let him just destroy everything much less hurt himself so she walked towards him, "Tony stop" he didn't seem to hear her, or if he did he ignored her, so she moved closer "Tony you have to stop. You're going to hurt yourself." Her words seemed to infuriate him more and he kept destroying things. She got right up to him, grabbed his hand and said "I am sorry. I am sorry she's dead." That made him stop, he turned around, and she could see his eyes full of fury.

She thought he was going to throw something at her, or push her away but what he did left her speeches. He took her face in her hands and kissed her. She was shocked at first, but soon returned his kiss. It wasn't a sweet and romantic kiss, it was full of passion, anger and lust, but she didn't care. He released her; both breathless stared at each other for what seemed like a century. His face was a mix of need and desire as well as rage and Ziva knew what was coming, in fact she was hoping for it. He needed it and she wanted to help him. So she was expecting it when he pushed her against the wall and kissed her again while at the same time trying to take off her shirt.

"I'll do it." He nodded and in a second her shirt was discarded on the floor as was his. They slowly made their way to the bedroom, not letting go of each other, kissing and feeling the other with a desperation that was inhumane.

Once inside the bedroom he pulled her to the bed, kissing every single part of her, he burned inside every time he looked into her eyes and saw the questioning glare but she never said stop so he didn't, he made her his in every possible way, because he needed it, he needed her.

An hour later they were both lying in bed with nothing more than a sheet in between them. Not a word had been spoken; he caressed her face, while a tear trickled down his face, and another and another. Ziva was taken aback by his crying so she did the only thing she could. She put her arms around him and let him cry.

And as she held this grown up man crying like a child in her arms she realized she would rather die that instant than see him hurting like this. Ziva realized she was in love with him.

I know some of you might want to kill me but I had to do it. I'm sorry. I like Kate but I just had to. I hope the Tiva moments at the end of the chapter made up for it. Thanks for reading and please don't forget to review. Thanks
