Can Ducky and Palmer have their own show? They're the coolest duo ever! Think about it! The Man from UNCLE and Brian Dietzen in (fill in the name of a show here).

Disclaimer: I don't own the title. Those are actually disputed. I think it's owned by Lou Lou and the Lampshades. I could be wrong, so please re inform me if I am.

And I'm Leavin Tommorrow. Whadayou Say?

Ziva walks into the office and falls into her office chair. The twenty four hours have been time consuming and all she wants to do is rest. A smile comes to her face though as she thinks of Ducky and Palmer using their strengths to their advantages. As she contemplates the pros and cons of listening to Ducky tell the story of their escape, a voice says, "Ducky and Palmer were pretty resourceful out there. Dontcha think?"

The woman's eyes open to see her partner sitting at his desk with a grin on his face. She smiles as she sits up in her chair.

"Very." She muses. The pair are quiet a moment as each turns on his or her respective computer to start filling out report papers. They type for a while when the female agent looks away from her work.

"I'm glad we got there when we did." Ziva states with a thoughtful expression on her face. Tony nods as he keeps typing.

"Yeah, they seemed out of ideas by then." He lightly adds eyes still on his work. The woman narrows her eyes in confusion.

"They almost died Tony." She states wondering how her partner is always able to joke about problems. With a serious expression, the male agent looks up and his friend.

"I know." He says. Deciding not to push matters further Ziva returns to her work. Not until a few minutes later does either agent speak again.

"Joking is how I cope." The man responds. Concern etching across the woman's features, Ziva stands and walks over the expanse between their work areas and sits at the edge of her partner's desk.

"I know." She replies softly. "You also sulk."

"No I don't!"

"McGee not getting you tickets? That is sulking." Ziva answers. Resisting the urge to stick his tongue out at her, Tony responds, "You think he'll ever get me any?"

Ziva smiles as she says, "When the time is right." Tony nods at her answer before diving into the question he really wants to ask.

"Do you think we could have escaped if it had been us?"

"We escaped a large metal box Tony. I think we have a good chance." She answers.

"No, now. After all that's happened to us, do you think we could think clearly to get out of something like that."

Ziva mulls over the question a good while until decidedly saying, "Yes. With everything we have gone through. I think we could."

"Even if the captors played on emotions?" He questions. Wondering where these questions are coming from Ziva looks at him, puts her hand on his, and says, "I don't know what made you ask these questions Tony. But yes, even if captors played on our emotions. We are closer than we were back then."

Complacent with his partner's answer, Tony realizes he is just being paranoid. At this moment in time, nothing bad is happening to them and nothing should now. However, part of him wonders, like Ziva, why these emotions randomly surfaced. Normally, Ziva would be the one asking these questions. To his shock, he realizes that maybe their relationship is going deeper than either are ready for yet.

Not wanting to push the matter further, the man says, "What if it were McGee and Abby?"

Shaking her head, the female agent walks back to her desk saying over her shoulder, "Get back to work Tony."
